Interpretation Of The Θ+ As An Isotensor Pentaquark With Weakly Decaying Partners, Simon Capstick, Philip R. Page, Winston Roberts
Interpretation Of The Θ+ As An Isotensor Pentaquark With Weakly Decaying Partners, Simon Capstick, Philip R. Page, Winston Roberts
Physics Faculty Publications
The Θ+(1540), recently observed at LEPS, DIANA and CLAS, is hypothesized to be an isotensor resonance. This implies the existence of a multiplet where the Θ++, Θ+ and Θ0 have isospin-violating strong decays, and the Θ+++ and Θ− have weak decays and so are long-lived. Production mechanisms for the weakly-decaying states are discussed. The JP assignment of the Θ is most likely 1/2− or 3/2−.
Coulomb Sum Rule For 4He, J. Carlson, J. Jourdan, Rocco Schiavilla, I. Sick
Coulomb Sum Rule For 4He, J. Carlson, J. Jourdan, Rocco Schiavilla, I. Sick
Physics Faculty Publications
We determine the Coulomb sum for 4He using the world data on 4He(e,e′) and compare the results to calculations based on realistic interactions and including two-body components in the nuclear charge operator. We find good agreement between theory and experiment when using free-nucleon form factors. The apparent reduction of the in-medium GEp implied by IA-interpretation of the L/T-ratios measured in 4He(e,e′p) and 4He(e→,e′p→) is not confirmed.
Precision Measurement Of The Proton And Deuteron Spin Structure Functions G2 And Asymmetries A2, P. L. Anthony, R. G. Arnold, T. Averett, H. R. Band, N. Benmouna, W. Boeglin, H. Borel, P. E. Bosted, S. L. Bültmann, G. R. Court, C. E. Hyde-Wright, S. E. Kuhn, F. Sabatie, F. R. Wesselmann

We have measured the spin struction functions g2(p) and g(2)(d) and the virtual photon asymmetries A(2)(p) and A(2)(d) over the kinetmatic range 0.02 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.8 and 0.7 less than or equal to Q2 less than or equal to 20 GeV2 by scattering 29.1 and 32.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons from transversely polarized NH3 and (LiD)-Li-6 targets. Our measured g2 approximately follows the twist-2 Wandzura-Wilczek calculation. The twist-3 reduced matrix elements d(2)(p) and d(2)(n) are less than two standard deviations from zero. The data are inconsistent with the Burkhardt-Cottingham …

The charge form factor of the neutron has been determined from asymmetries measured in quasi-elastic 3He(e→, e 'n) at a momentum transfer of 0.67 (GeV/c)2. In addition, the target analyzing power, Ayo has been measured to study effects of final state interactions and mespn exchange currents.

Final State Interaction Effects In 3He (E→, E' P), C. Carasco, J. Bermuth, P. Merle, P. Bartsch, D. Baumann, R. Böhm, D. Bosnar, M. Ding, M. O. Distler, A. Klein
Physics Faculty Publications
Asymmetries in quasi-elastic 3He(e→, e 'p) have been measured at a momentum transfer of 0.67 (GeV/c)2 and are compared to a calculation which takes into account relativistic kinematics in the final state and a relativistic one-body current operator. With an exact solution of the Faddeev equation for the 3He-ground state and an approximate treatment offinal state interactions in the continuum good agreement is found with the experimental data.
First Measurement Of Transferred Polarization In The Exclusive →E P → E'K+ →Λ, M. Bektasoglu, K. V. Dharmawardane, G. E. Dodge, T. A. Forest, C. E. Hyde-Wright, A. V. Klimenko, S. E. Kuhn, R. A. Niyazov, L. M. Qin, L. B. Weinstein, J. Yun

Physics Faculty Publications
The first measurements of the transferred polarization for the exclusive →ep → e'K+ →Λ over right arrow reaction have been performed at Jefferson Laboratory using the CLAS spectrometer. A 2.567 GeV beam was used to measure the hyperon polarization over Q2 from 0.3 to 1.5 (GeV/c)2, W from 1.6 to 2.15 GeV, and over the full K+ center-of-mass angular range. Comparison with predictions of hadrodynamic models indicates strong sensitivity to the underlying resonance contributions. A nonrelativistic quark-model interpretation of our data suggests that the s -s quark pair is produced with spins predominantly …

We measured the inclusive electron-proton cross section in the nucleon resonance region (W <2.5 GeV) at momentum transfers Q2 below 4.5 (GeV/c)2 with the CLAS detector. The large acceptance of CLAS allowed the measurement of the cross section in a large, contiguous two-dimensional range of Q2 and x, making it possible to perform an integration of the data at fixed Q2 over the significant x interval. From these data we extracted the structure function F2 and, by including other world data, we studied the Q2 evolution of its moments, Mn(Q2), in order to estimate higher twist …2.5>
Measurement Of Ep → E ' P Π⁺Π⁻ And Baryon Resonance Analysis, M. Bektasoglu, L. Ciciani, K. V. Dharmawardane, G. E. Dodge, T. A. Forest, C. E. Hyde-Wright, A. Klein, A. V. Klimenko, S. E. Kuhn, R. A. Niyazov, L. M. Qin, F. Sabatié, S. Stepanyan, L. B. Weinstein, J. Yun, Et Al., Clas Collaboration

The cross section for the reaction ep→ e'pπ+π- was measured in the resonance region for 1.4 2 < 1.5 GeV2/c2using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The data show resonant structures not visible in previous experiments. The comparison of our data to a phenomenological prediction using available information on N* and Δ states shows an evident discrepancy. A better description of the data is obtained either by a sizable change of the properties of the P13(1720) resonance or by introducing a new baryon state, not reported in published analyses.

We report the results of a new measurement of spin structure functions of the deuteron in the region of moderate momentum transfer [Q2 = 0.27-1.3 (GeV/c)2] and final hadronic state mass in the nucleon resonance region (W=1.08-2.0 GeV). We scattered a 2.5 GeV polarized continuous electron beam at Jefferson Lab off a dynamically polarized cryogenic solid state target (15ND3) and detected the scattered electrons with the CEBAF large acceptance spectrometer. From our data, we extract the longitudinal double spin asymmetry A∥ and the spin structure function g1d. Our data are …

Measurement Of Correlated Multiple Light Scattering In Utracold Atomic 85Rb, P. Kulatunga, C. I. Sukenik, S. Balik, M. D. Havey, D. V. Kupriyanov, I. M. Sokolov
Physics Faculty Publications
We report an experimental study of correlated multiple light scattering in an ultracold gas of 85Rb confined in a magneto-optic trap. Measurements are made of the polarization dependence of the spatial and spectral profile of light backscattered from the sample. The results show an interferometric enhancement sensitive to coherent multiple scattering in the atomic gas, and strong variations with the polarization of the incident and detected light. The spatial width and peak value of the enhancement are found to be dependent on the sample size. Comparison of all the measurements with realistic quantum Monte Carlo simulations yields a very …
Si Doping Of High-Al-Mole Fraction Alxga1-Xn Alloys With Rf Plasma-Induced Molecular-Beam-Epitaxy, Jeonghyun Hwang, William J. Schaff, Lester F. Eastman, Shawn T. Bradley, Leonard J. Brillson, David C. Look, J. Wu, Wladek Walukiewicz, Madalina Furis, Alexander N. Cartwright

Physics Faculty Publications
Very high levels of n-type doping of AlxGa1−xN alloys were recently achieved by rf plasma-induced molecular-beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates and Si as a dopant. Electron concentrations were obtained up to 1.25×1020 cm−3 when the Al mole fraction was 50%, and 8.5×1019 cm−3 electrons were measured even when the Al mole fraction was 80%. Other material properties were determined by optical absorption, photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence, x-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy measurements and high optical and morphological qualities were shown.
Recombination Of Excitons Bound To Oxygen And Silicon Donors In Freestanding Gan, A. Wysmolek, K. P. Korona, R. Stepniewski, J. M. Baranowsky, J. Bloniarz, M. Potemski, R. L. Jones, David C. Look, J. Kuhl, S. S. Park, S. K. Lee

The neutral donor bound exciton recombination processes in freestanding GaN have been studied. The photoluminescence spectrum shows emission lines related to silicon and oxygen donors. Time-resolved luminescence allows us to correlate the principal donor bound exciton lines with their two-electron satellites. The magnetic field splitting of the two-electron lines is well described by the theory of the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field. For the oxygen donor a 1.5 meV chemical shift and a 30.8 meV effective Rydberg have been evaluated. Two-electron satellites involving excitations to the 2p and 2s donor states are separated by an energy of 1.0 and …
Enhancement Of Photoinduced Anisotropy And All-Optical Switching In Bacteriorhodopsin Films, Pengfei Wu, D.V.G.L.N. Rao, B. R. Kimball, M. Nakashima, B. S. Decristofano
Enhancement Of Photoinduced Anisotropy And All-Optical Switching In Bacteriorhodopsin Films, Pengfei Wu, D.V.G.L.N. Rao, B. R. Kimball, M. Nakashima, B. S. Decristofano
Physics Faculty Publications
Large enhancement of photoanisotropic effects is demonstrated in thin films of the biomaterial Bacteriorhodopsin by using two exciting beams of orthogonal polarization. The mechanism of the enhancement originates from optimization of direction-selected photoisomerization of the biomaterial controlled by the polarized exciting beams. The technique is applied for achieving an all-optical switch with the additional feature of output sign control.
Microcathodoluminescence And Electron Beam Induced Current Observation Of Dislocations In Freestanding Thick N-Gan Sample Grown By Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy, A. Y. Polyakov, A. V. Govorkov, N. B. Smirnov, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look, Seong-Ju S. Park, J. H. Han
Microcathodoluminescence And Electron Beam Induced Current Observation Of Dislocations In Freestanding Thick N-Gan Sample Grown By Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy, A. Y. Polyakov, A. V. Govorkov, N. B. Smirnov, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look, Seong-Ju S. Park, J. H. Han
Physics Faculty Publications
Microcathodolumunescence (MCL) spectra measurements, MCL and electron beam induced current (EBIC) imaging of the freestanding n-GaN samples grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy were made. Dark-spot defects in plan-view EBIC and MCL images and dark line defects in MCL images taken on the cleaved surface of the samples could be associated with dislocations. MCL spectra measurements in the vicinity of dislocations and in the matrix do not reveal specific luminescence bands that could be attributed to dislocations but rather suggest that dislocation regions have higher density of deep nonradiative traps.
Deep Electron And Hole Traps In Freestanding N-Gan Grown By Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy, A. Y. Polyakov, N. B. Smirnov, A. V. Govorkov, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look, Seong-Ju S. Park, J. H. Han

Physics Faculty Publications
Deep level electron and hole traps were studied by means of deep level transient spectroscopy with electrical and optical injection on a freestanding thick n-GaN sample with low dislocation density. It is shown that at both the upper and the lower surface of the sample there exists a thin, ∼0.5 μm layer of damaged material with lowered concentration of electrons and enhanced density of deep centers. Deep in the bulk of the film the densities of the majority of the electron and hole traps are shown to be very low, but measurably higher on the lower face (N face), …
Simultaneous Trapping Of Rubidium And Metastable Argon In A Magneto-Optical Trap, C. I. Sukenik, H. C. Busch
Simultaneous Trapping Of Rubidium And Metastable Argon In A Magneto-Optical Trap, C. I. Sukenik, H. C. Busch
Physics Faculty Publications
We have simultaneously confined rubidium and metastable argon in a dual-species magneto-optical trap (MOT). Here a binary mixture of atomic species from different groups of the periodic table have been optically confined at ultracold temperatures. We describe the apparatus and characterize the individual, single species MOTs and the dual-species MOT. Both fluorescence and ion production are monitored. With both species trapped, we observe ~5106 85Rb atoms and ~2106 40Ar* atoms. Realization of the dual-species trap opens the way for detailed studies of Penning and associative ionization, photoassociative spectroscopy, and eventually for the production of bound, ultracold RbAr molecules.
Thermoelectric Effect Spectroscopy Of Deep Levels In Semi-Insulating Gan, U. V. Desnica, M. Pavlovic, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look
Thermoelectric Effect Spectroscopy Of Deep Levels In Semi-Insulating Gan, U. V. Desnica, M. Pavlovic, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look
Physics Faculty Publications
The report of thermoelectric effect spectroscopy (TEES) applied on semi-insulating GaN was presented. The type of TEES setup, especially suitable for film-on-substrate samples, was devised. TEES enabled determination of sign of observed deep traps. Using TEES and thermally stimulated current spectroscopy measurements in combination with the simultaneous multiple peak analysis formalism all important trap parameters were determined. The shallowest identified electron and hole traps had activation energies Ec−0.09 eV and Ev+0.167 eV, respectively. Results indicate that both these traps, oppositely charged are present in the studied material in relatively high concentrations causing the electrical compensation and …

H2o–D2o Condensation In A Supersonic Nozzle, Christopher H. Heath, Kiril A. Streletzky, Barbara E. Wyslouzil, Judith Woelk, Reinhard Strey
Physics Faculty Publications
We examined the condensation of H2O, D2O, and four intermediate mixtures (20, 40, 60, and 80 mol % D2O) in a supersonic nozzle. Because the physical and chemical properties of protonated and deuterated water are so similar, this system is ideal for studying the change in condensation behavior as a function of condensible composition. In our experiments dilute mixtures of condensible vapor in N2 are expanded from three different stagnation temperatures resulting in a broad range of onset temperatures (190–238 K) and pressures (27–787 kPa). For a fixed stagnation temperature, the partial pressure required to maintain the onset of condensation …
Representation Of A Quantum Ensemble As A Minimal Set Of Pure States, Thomas E. Skinner, Steffen J. Glaser
Representation Of A Quantum Ensemble As A Minimal Set Of Pure States, Thomas E. Skinner, Steffen J. Glaser
Physics Faculty Publications
The density matrix ρ for an n-level system is decomposed into the minimum number of pure states necessary to calculate physical observables. The corresponding physical system is first represented by a set B of n pure states |βi〉, together with their statistical weights. The time evolution of the system is therefore calculated as B(t)=UB(t0), with the propagator U operating on each member of the set, in contrast to the more laborious ρ(t)=Uρ(t0)U†. At least one of the states can be eliminated from the set by reducing its weight to zero via a …

Characterization Of Homoepitaxial P-Type Zno Grown By Molecular Beam Epitaxy, David C. Look, D. C. Reynolds, C. W. Litton, R. L. Jones, D. B. Eason, G. Cantwell
Physics Faculty Publications
An N-doped, p-type ZnO layer has been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on an Li-diffused, bulk, semi-insulating ZnO substrate. Hall-effect and conductivity measurements on the layer give: resistivity = 4×101 Ω cm; hole mobility = 2 cm2/V s; and hole concentration = 9×1016 cm−3. Photoluminescence measurements in this N-doped layer show a much stronger peak near 3.32 eV (probably due to neutral acceptor bound excitons), than at 3.36 eV (neutral donor bound excitons), whereas the opposite is true in undoped ZnO. Calibrated, secondary-ion mass spectroscopy measurements show an N surface concentration of about …

Co1−xFex alloy nanowires with 40 nm diam and x=0–1.0 were fabricated by electrodeposition in nanopores of alumina templates. The crystalline structure of the nanowires is concentration dependent and shows a transition from the cobalt hexagonal-closed-packed structure (hcp) to a face-centered-cubic structure (fcc) in the concentration range 0

Investigation Of The Magnetic Properties In Strontium–Borate Vanadate Glasses, Manford Chinkhota, Petru S. Fodor, G. D. Khattak, Lowell E. Wenger
Physics Faculty Publications
To further elucidate the nature of the valence state of V ions in vanadate glasses,magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range of 5 to 300 K have been performed on a series of vanadium–strontium–borate (V2O5+SrO+B2O3) oxide glasses with V2O5 concentrations greater than 50 mol %. The magnetic susceptibility for these oxide glasses is found to consist of a temperature-independentparamagnetic contribution arising from V2O5 and a Curie–Weiss temperature-dependent contribution associated with magnetic V4+ ions being present in concentrations between 2% and 10% of the total V concentration. The negative Curie–Weiss temperatures in the range of 0 to −2.8 K indicate a …

Residential Radon Exposure And Lung Cancer: Variation In Risk Estimates Using Alternative Exposure Scenarios, R. William Field, Brian J. Smith, Daniel J. Steck, Charles F. Lynch
Physics Faculty Publications
The most direct way to derive risk estimates for residential radon progeny exposure is through epidemiologic studies that examine the association between residential radon exposure and lung cancer. However, the National Research Council concluded that the inconsistency among prior residential radon case-control studies was largely a consequence of errors in radon dosimetry. This paper examines the impact of applying various epidemiologic dosimetry models for radon exposure assessment using a common data set from the Iowa Radon Lung Cancer Study (IRLCS). The IRLCS uniquely combined enhanced dosimetric techniques, individual mobility assessment, and expert histologic review to examine the relationship between cumulative …

Concentrations of deep hole traps were measured in a set of hydride vapor phase epitaxy grown samples with thicknesses varying from 2.6 to 68 μm. Results were obtained from low temperature capacitance–voltage measurements before and after illumination and from deep level transient spectroscopy measurements with optical injection (ODLTS). The former revealed the presence of high densities (∼1015 to 1016 cm−3) of hole traps whose concentration decreased with sample thickness in a manner similar to that found for the dislocation density. Capacitance versus temperature measurements in the dark and after illumination suggested that these traps form a …

Depth-Dependent Investigation Of Defects And Impurity Doping In Gan/Sapphire Using Scanning Electron Microscopy And Cathodoluminescence Spectroscopy, X. L. Sun, S. H. Goss, L. J. Brillson, David C. Look, Richard J. Molnar
Physics Faculty Publications
Cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging and temperature-dependent cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (CLS) have been used to probe the spatial distribution and energies of electronic defects near GaN/Al2O3 interfaces grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). Cross sectional secondary electron microscopy imaging, CLS, and CL imaging show systematic variations in defect emissions with a wide range of HVPE GaN/sapphire electronic properties. These data, along with electrochemical capacitance–voltage profiling and secondary ion mass spectrometry provide a consistent picture of near-interface doping by O out-diffusion from Al2O3 into GaN over hundreds of nanometers. Low-temperature CL spectra exhibit a new donor level …

The RNA-recognition motif (RRM) is a common and evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding module. Crystallographic and solution structural studies have shown that RRMs adopt a compact α/β structure, in which four antiparallel β-strands form the major RNA—binding surface. Conserved aromatic residues in the RRM are located on the surface of the β-sheet and are important for RNA binding. To further our understanding of the structural basis of RRM—nucleic acid interaction, we carried out a high resolution analysis of UP1, the N-terminal, two-RRM domain of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1), whose structure was previously solved at 1.75–1.9 Å …

We present the first results for a new supersonic nozzle that decouples nucleation and droplet growth, and closely controls the supersaturation and temperature during nucleation. We characterize the expansions using pressure trace measurements, and the aerosol properties using light scattering and small angle neutron scattering. We show that when nucleation and droplet growth are separated, the aerosol number density decreases, the average particle size increases, and the aerosol can be more monodisperse than that formed in a conventional nozzle. Under these conditions, we can estimate the nucleation rate J as a function of supersaturation S and temperature T directly from …

Structural phase transitions in Ca2SiO4 and Sr2SiO4 are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations are based on the potentials calculated from the Gordon–Kim modified electron gas formalism extended to molecular ions. We successfully reproduced the transition γ -α’H and β-α’L - α’H - α in Ca2SiO4, and the transition β-α’ in Sr2SiO4. We find that the α’L phase of Ca2SiO4 is an ax3b x c superstructure of the α’H phase, while the α’H phase …

Gold Schottky-barrier diodes (SBDs) were fabricated on vapor-phase-grown single-crystal ZnO. Deep-level transient spectroscopy, using these SBDs, revealed the presence of four electron traps, the major two having levels at 0.12 eV and 0.57 below the conduction band. Comparison with temperature-dependent Hall measurements suggests that the 0.12 eV level has a temperature activated capture cross section with a capture barrier of about 0.06 eV and that it may significantly contribute to the free-carrier density. Based on the concentrations of defects other than this shallow donor, we conclude that the quality of the vapor-phase-grown ZnO studied here supercedes that of other single-crystal …
