Measurements and calculations of Stark broadening parameters for the N I multiplet (1D)3s2D–(1D)3p2Do
2014
Calculations of line broadening parameters of a doubly excited N I transition, based on atomic structure data (taken from the literature), are reported. The obtained results were used for a critical analysis of formerly published experimental data, based on spectra measured in our laboratory. These measured spectra were then again analyzed and new broadening parameters were determined and compared with results of calculations.
Stark broadening of hydrogen spectral lines with fine structure effects
2004
Formalism and numerical code have been elaborated for calculation of hydrogen line profiles in conditions of plasma in which Stark broadening and fine energy splitting are comparable and it is not possible to neglect either of them. It corresponds to the range of electron densities $10^{11} < N_e ({\rm cm}^{-3}) < 10^{15}$ . Lamb shift and spontaneous emission effects have also been included. Computer simulation method was applied in the calculations. Final results have been compared with experimental and theoretical findings by other authors.
Energy gap of intermediate-valentSmB6studied by point-contact spectroscopy
2001
We have investigated the intermediate valence narrow-gap semiconductor ${\mathrm{SmB}}_{6}$ at low temperatures using both conventional spear-anvil type point contacts as well as mechanically controllable break junctions. The zero-bias conductance varied between less than $0.01 \ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{S}$ and up to 1 mS. The position of the spectral anomalies, which are related to the different activation energies and band gaps of ${\mathrm{SmB}}_{6},$ did not depend on the the contact size. Two different regimes of charge transport could be distinguished: Contacts with large zero-bias conductance are in the diffusive Maxwell regime. They had spectra with only small nonlinearities. Contacts…
Fourier-transform spectroscopy and coupled-channels deperturbation treatment of theA 1Σ+–b 3Πcomplex of KCs
2010
The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) A {sup 1{Sigma}+}-b {sup 3{Pi}{yields}}X {sup 1{Sigma}+} spectra of the KCs molecule were recorded in a near infrared region by a Fourier-transform spectrometer with a resolution of 0.03 cm{sup -1}. Overall more than 200 collisionally enhanced LIF spectra were rotationally assigned to {sup 39}K{sup 133}Cs and {sup 41}K{sup 133}Cs isotopomers yielding more than 3400 rovibronic term values of the strongly mixed singlet A {sup 1{Sigma}+} and triplet b {sup 3{Pi}} states with the uncertainty of 0.003-0.01 cm{sup -1}. Experimental data massive starts from the lowest vibrational level v{sub A}=0 of the singlet and nonuniformly covers the energy range E is an e…
Diagrammatic expansion for positive spectral functions beyond GW : Application to vertex corrections in the electron gas
2014
We present a diagrammatic approach to construct self-energy approximations within many-body perturbation theory with positive spectral properties. The method cures the problem of negative spectral functions which arises from a straightforward inclusion of vertex diagrams beyond the GW approximation. Our approach consists of a two-steps procedure: we first express the approximate many-body self-energy as a product of half-diagrams and then identify the minimal number of half-diagrams to add in order to form a perfect square. The resulting self-energy is an unconventional sum of self-energy diagrams in which the internal lines of half a diagram are time-ordered Green's functions whereas those…
Optical spectroscopy of X-ray sources in the Taurus molecular cloud: discovery of ten new pre-main sequence stars
2008
We have analyzed optical spectra of 25 X-ray sources identified as potential new members of the Taurus molecular cloud (TMC), in order to confirm their membership in this SFR. Fifty-seven candidates were previously selected among the X-ray sources in the XEST survey, having a 2MASS counterpart compatible with a PMS star based on color-magnitude and color-color diagrams. We obtained high-resolution optical spectra for 7 of these candidates with the SARG spectrograph at the TNG telescope, which were used to search for Li absorption and to measure the Ha line and the radial and rotational velocities; 18 low-resolution optical spectra obtained with DOLORES for other candidate members were used …
High-spin states in the neutron-rich A∼100 region
2009
Two experimental setups have been used to study excited states of neutron‐rich nuclei in the A∼100 region. Extended level schemes and lifetime measurements were obtained using deep‐inelastic and fusion‐fission reactions with the CLARA‐PRISMA spectrometer and the Ge‐array GASP respectively. Experimental information from GASP has been used to complement the CLARA‐PRISMA experiment. Time spectra have been used to measure the lifetimes of isomeric states. Preliminary results are presented for 89Rb.
Electronic States, Absorption Spectrum and Circular Dichroism Spectrum of the Photosynthetic Bacterial LH2 Antenna of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila as …
1999
A new approach that uses a combination of semiempirical configuration interaction method and exciton theory to calculate electronic energies, eigenstates, absorption spectrum and circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of the LH2 antenna of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila is introduced. A statistical simulation that uses experimental homogeneous line widths was used to account for the inhomogeneous line width of the observed spectrum. Including the effect of orbital overlap of the close-lying pigments of the B850 ring and the effect of the pigment protein interaction in the B800 ring allowed a successful simulation of the experimental absorption and CD spectra of the antenna at room temperature. Two e…
Laboratory astrophysics survey of key x-ray diagnostic lines using a microcalorimeter on an electron beam ion trap
2000
Cosmic plasma conditions created in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) make it possible to simulate the dependencies of key diagnostic X-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources. We used a microcalorimeter for such laboratory astrophysics studies because it has a resolving power ≈1000, quantum efficiency approaching 100%, and a bandwidth that spans the X-ray energies from 0.2 keV to 10 keV. Our microcalorimeter, coupled with an X-ray optic to increase the effective solid angle, provides a significant new capability for laboratory astrophysics measurements. Broadband spectra obtained from the National Institute of Standards and Technology…
A class-separability-based method for multi/hyperspectral image color visualization
2010
In this paper, a new color visualization technique for multi- and hyperspectral images is proposed. This method is based on a maximization of the perceptual distance between the scene endmembers as well as natural constancy of the resulting images. The stretched CMF principle is used to transform reflectance into values in the CIE L*a*b* colorspace combined with an a priori known segmentation map for separability enhancement between classes. Boundaries are set in the a*b* subspace to balance the natural palette of colors in order to ease interpretation by a human expert. Convincing results on two different images are shown.
