A scaling law relating the angular width of a scattered beam to the incident electron energy and the areal density of plasma is found, which may provide a method of MeV electron radiography for diagnosing the area/density of high-temperature, dense plasma under fusion conditions. The study on the MeV electron beam radiography also shows that plasma density interfaces could be discriminated by electron scattering.展开更多

In the present work, the generalized oscillator strengths of the valence-shell excitations in NO_(2)were obtained based on the fast electron scattering technique at an incident electron energy of 1.5 ke V and an energy resolution of about 70 me V. By extrapolating the generalized oscillator strengths to the limit of a zero squared momentum transfer, the optical oscillator strengths for the dipole-allowed transitions have been obtained, which provide an independent cross check to the previous experimental results. Based on the BE-scaling method, the corresponding integral cross sections have also been derived systematically from the excitation threshold to 5000 eV. The present dynamic parameters can provide the fundamental spectroscopic data of NO_(2)and have important applications in the studies of atmospheric science.

Nevertheless, many discussions about electron scattering are based upon single-particle Schrodinger equation or Dirac equation in quantum mechanics rather than the method of quantum field theory. In this paper, by using the path integral approach of quantum field theory, we perturbatively evaluate the scattering amplitude up to the second order for the electron scattering by the classical electromagnetic potential. The results we derive are convenient to apply to all sorts of potential forms. Furthermore, by means of the obtained results, we give explicit calculations for the one-dimensional electric potential.展开更多

The atom is present in an optical potential which is complex, spherically symmetric, and energy dependent. The optical potential of the atom is the sum of the direct static, dynamic polarization, local exchange and modified absorption potentials. The results obtained by using a modified absorption potential show significant improvements on the unmodified absorption potential results. The present results are generally in good agreement with experimental data available. In addition, the present results indicate that the structure of molecule manifests the observable effects on electron- molecule scattering.展开更多

The model includes the simultaneous processes of electron scattering and ambipolar transport and the influence of a self-consistent electric field on the scattering distribution of electrons. The dynamic spatial distribution of charges is obtained and validated by existing experimental data. Our simulations show that excess negative charges are concentrated near the edge of the electron range. However, the formed region of high charge density may extend to the surface and bottom of a kapton sample, due to the effects of the electric field on electron scattering and charge transport, respectively. Charge trapping is then demonstrated to significantly influence the charge motion. The charge distribution can be extended to the bottom as the trap density decreases. Charge accumulation is therefore balanced by the appearance and increase of leakage current. Accordingly, our model and numerical simulation provide a comprehensive insight into the charging dynamics of a polymer irradiated by electrons in the complex space environment.展开更多

In this study, we utilize the ψ' scaling function in momentum space to analyze the(e, e') cross sections, where the nucleon momentum distributions are derived from self-consistent mean-field calculations. By further introducing the energy and momentum conservation in the scaling analysis, an improved ψ'scaling function is proposed to investigate the high-momentum part of the momentum distributions. Using the proposed scaling function, we systematically explore the effects of the nucleon-nucleon short-range correlation(NN-SRC) on the(e, e') cross sections. From the experimental(e, e') data, the NN-SRC strength is further extracted within the framework of the improved ψ'scaling function. The studies in this paper offer a new method to investigate the nucleon momentum distributions and the NN-SRC effects in nuclei.展开更多

文摘Scaling analyses have been successfully applied to study the inclusive electron scattering(e, e') over the past few decades. In this study, we utilize the ψ' scaling function in momentum space to analyze the(e, e') cross sections, where the nucleon momentum distributions are derived from self-consistent mean-field calculations. By further introducing the energy and momentum conservation in the scaling analysis, an improved ψ'scaling function is proposed to investigate the high-momentum part of the momentum distributions. Using the proposed scaling function, we systematically explore the effects of the nucleon-nucleon short-range correlation(NN-SRC) on the(e, e') cross sections. From the experimental(e, e') data, the NN-SRC strength is further extracted within the framework of the improved ψ'scaling function. The studies in this paper offer a new method to investigate the nucleon momentum distributions and the NN-SRC effects in nuclei.

文摘We apply the derivative coupling model with ZM and ZM3 parameters to investigate the longitudinal response function in quasielastic electron scattering in the relativistic random phase approximation. The non-spectral method is chosen to describe the nucleon Green's function in a finite nucleus. Some remarks have been made in conclusion.

文摘Total cross sections (TCSs) of electrons scattering from triatomic molecules over the energy range from 30 to 5000 eV are investigated employing a new semi-empirical formula. The TCSs of electrons scattering from triatomic molecules SO2, NO2, and CO2 are calculated. The quantitative TCSs are in good agreement with those obtained by experiments. It is shown that the results derived from the semi-empirical formula are much closer to the measurements than other calculations.

文摘Hydride ion(H-)conductors have drawn much attention due to their potential applications in hydrideion-based devices.Rare earth metal hydrides(REH_(x))have fast H-conduction which,unfortunately,is accompanied by detrimental electron conduction preventing their application as ion conductors.Here,REH_(x)(RE=Nd,Ce,and Pr)with varied grain sizes,rich grain boundaries,and defects have been prepared by ball milling and subsequent sintering.The electronic conductivity of the ball-milled REH_(x)samples can be reduced by 2-4 orders of magnitude compared with the non-ball-milled samples.The relationship of electron conduction and miscrostructures in REH_(x)is studied and discussed based on experimental data and previously-proposed classical and quantum theories.The H-conductivity of all REH_(x)is about 10^(-4)to 10^(-3)S cm^(-1)at room temperature,showing promise for the development of H-conductors and their applications in clean energy storage and conversion.
