On the noise resistance of field-effect transistors at microwave frequencies
2001
This paper presents a survey on the topical aspects of the noise resistance in field-effect transistors (FET) at microwave frequencies. Such noise parameter represents the sensitivity of the device noise figure to the departure from the minimum noise condition and is therefore important in all low-noise applications. The performance of the noise resistance in FETs has been reviewed since the first noise modeling analysis of short-gate devices were presented in the early '70s. The authors also comment and compare their own results on this subject as obtained by extensive experimental activity in the field of noisy device characterization vs. frequency, bias and temperature conditions.
Spectral broadening enhancement in silicon waveguides through pulse shaping
2012
Spectral broadening in silicon waveguides is usually inhibited at telecom wavelengths due to some adverse effects related to semiconductor dynamics, namely, two-photon and free-carrier absorption (FCA). In this Letter, our numerical simulations show that it is possible to achieve a significant enhancement in spectral broadening when we properly preshape the input pulse to reduce the impact of FCA on spectral broadening. Our analysis suggests that the use of input pulses with the correct skewness and power level is crucial for this achievemen This work was financially supported by the Plan Nacional Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación (I+D +I) under the research project TEC2008-05490, by…
Comment on "Highly nonlinear, sign-varying shift of hydrogen spectral lines in dense plasmas".
2004
The shift of hydrogen and hydrogenlike spectral lines in dense plasmas, calculated with the full computer simulation method, in nonquenching, classical path, dipole approximation for plasma-emitter interaction, is equal to zero. In the paper commented on, Escarguel et al., Phys. Rev. E 62, 2667 (2000) the electron concentrations ${N}_{e}$ and the corresponding temperature values T are shown to have been determined incorrectly.
Study of odd-mass N = 82 isotones with realistic effective interactions
1997
The microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model, MQPM, is used to study the energy spectra of the odd $Z=53 - 63$, N=82 isotones. The results are compared with experimental data, with the extreme quasiparticle-phonon limit and with the results of an unrestricted $2s1d0g_{7/2}0h_{11/2}$ shell model (SM) calculation. The interaction used in these calculations is a realistic two-body G-matrix interaction derived from modern meson-exchange potential models for the nucleon-nucleon interaction. For the shell model all the two-body matrix elements are renormalized by the $\hat{Q}$-box method whereas for the MQPM the effective interaction is defined by the G-matrix.
$\gamma W$-box Inside-Out: Nuclear Polarizabilities Distort the Beta Decay Spectrum
2019
I consider the $\gamma W$-box correction to superallowed nuclear $\beta$-decays in the framework of dispersion relations. I address a novel effect of a distortion of the emitted electron energy spectrum by nuclear polarizabilities and show that this effect, while neglected in the literature, is sizable. I estimate its size in the approximation of a linear energy dependence, and using two models that are expected to give the lower and the upper bound. The respective correction to the $\beta^+$ spectrum is estimated to be $\Delta_R(E)=(1.6\pm1.6)\times10^{-4}{E}/{\rm MeV}$ assuming a conservative 100\% uncertainty. The effect is positive-definite and can be observed if a high-precision measur…
Deformations and quasiparticle spectra of nuclei in the nobelium region
2013
We have performed self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations for nuclei close to $^{254}$No. Self-consistent deformations, including $\beta_{2,4,6,8}$ as functions of the rotational frequency, were determined for even-even nuclei $^{246,248,250}$Fm, $^{252,254}$No, and $^{256}$Rf. The quasiparticle spectra for N=151 isotones and Z=99 isotopes were calculated and compared with experimental data and the results of Woods-Saxon calculations. We found that our calculations give high-order deformations similar to those obtained for the Woods-Saxon potential, and that the experimental quasiparticle energies are reasonably well reproduced.
Beta-delayed particle emission of 36K
1980
Abstract 36 Ar targets of 19 μg cm 2 thickness were made by a sandwich technique in which a 70 nm layer of Al was evaporated onto the implanted Al surface between five successive implantations of 36 Ar ions. The sources of 36 K were prepared by depositing the recoil atoms from the 36 Ar(p, n) 36 K reaction by means of a helium jet onto a fast transport tape. The measured delayed particle spectra revealed 11 proton groups (0.5 MeV E p E α 36 K. Total proton and α-particle branching ratios were measured to be 4.8 × 10 −4 and 3 × 10 −5 , respectively. Partial level widths and reduced proton and α-particle transition widths were determined for several individual levels with the aid of additiona…
Evolution of collectivity inHg180andHg182
2009
Lifetimes of yrast states in $^{180}\mathrm{Hg}$ up to the ${8}^{+}$ state and of the ${9}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ state have been extracted from recoil-decay tagged $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectra by using the recoil distance Doppler-shift method. In addition, lifetimes of yrast states up to the ${10}^{+}$ state in $^{182}\mathrm{Hg}$ have been extracted from recoil-gated $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$-coincidence spectra. The present study addresses the evolution of collectivity of two competing shapes in neutron-deficient Hg nuclei as a function of $A$ and the configuration mixing at low spin.
Beta-delayed neutron decay of 33Na
2002
Abstract Beta-delayed neutron decay of 33 Na has been studied using the on-line mass separator ISOLDE. The delayed neutron spectra were measured by time-of-flight technique using fast scintillators. Two main neutron groups at 800(60) and 1020(80) keV were assigned to the 33 Na decay, showing evidence for strong feeding of states at about 4 MeV in 33 Mg. By simultaneous β–γ–n counting the delayed neutron emission probabilities P 1n =47(6)% and P 2n =13(3)% were determined. The half-life value for 33 Na, T 1/2 =8.0(3) ms , was measured by three different techniques, one employing identifying gamma transitions and two employing beta and neutron counting.
Production of excited double hypernuclei via Fermi breakup of excited strange systems
2011
Precise spectroscopy of multi-strange hypernuclei provides a unique chance to explore the hyperon-hyperon interaction. In the present work we explore the production of excited states in double hypernuclei following the micro-canonical break-up of an initially excited double hypernucleus which is created by the absorption and conversion of a stopped $\Xi^{-}$ hyperon. Rather independent on the spectrum of possible excited states in the produced double hypernuclei the formation of excited states dominates in our model. For different initial target nuclei which absorb the $\Xi^-$, different double hypernuclei nuclei dominate. Thus the ability to assign the various observable $\gamma$-transitio…
