Nuclear Data Sheets for A=105☆

This work presents new evaluation of A=105 nuclear structure and decay data. It covers a range of nuclei from the very neutron-rich {sup 105}{sub 38}Sr to the extremely neutron-deficient {sup 105}{sub 52}Te, known also to be the doughter of the lightest alpha decaying nucleus {sup 109}I. The work is based on experimental studies performed in the last 73 years, where A=105 nuclei were produced in particle transfer, fusion/evaporation reactions, sponataneus and induced fission, fusion and fragmentation of relativistic beams, radioactive decay etc.

Photoelectrochemical alcohol oxidation by mixed-linker metal–organic frameworks

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a suitable platform for stable and efficient heterogeneous photoelectrochemical oxidation catalysis due to their highly ordered structure, large surface area, and synthetic tunability. Herein, a mixed-linker MOF comprising of a photosensitizer [Ru(dcbpy)(bpy) 2 ] 2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dcbpy = 5,5'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) and catalyst [Ru(tpy)(dcbpy)Cl] + (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) that were incorporated into the UiO-67 framework and grown as thin films on a TiO 2 -coated, fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode (RuB-RuTB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO). When used as an electrode for the photoelectrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol, the mixed-linker MOF film showed a faradaic efficiency of 34%, corresponding to a 3-fold increase in efficiency relative to the RuB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO control. Furthermore, this increase in catalytic efficiency is ascribed to the activation of RuTB moieties via oxidation by photogenerated Ru III B. Transient absorption spectroscopy revealed the delayed appearance of Ru III TB* or Ru III TB formation, occurring with a lifetime of 21 ns, due to energy and/or electron transfer. The recovery kinetics of the charge separated state was increased (283 μs) in comparison to single-component control experiments (105 μs for RuB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO and 7 μs for RuTB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO) indicating a cooperative effect that could be exploited in chromophore/catalyst MOF motifs.

Processing and properties of PSZT 95/5 ceramics with varying Ti and Nb substitution

Niobium doped lead-tin-zirconate-titanate ceramics near the PZT 95/5 orthorhombic AFE – rhombohedral FE morphotropic phase boundary Pb 1-0.5y (Zr 0.865-x Ti x Sn 0.135 ) 1-y Nb y O 3 were prepared according to a 2 2+1 factorial design with x = 0.05, 0.07 and y = 0.0155, 0.0195. The ceramics were prepared by a traditional solid-state synthesis route and sintered to near full density at 1250°C for 6 hours. All compositions were ~98% dense with no detectable secondary phases by XRD. The ceramics exhibited equiaxed grains with intergranular porosity and grain size was ~5 μm, decreasing with niobium substitution. Compositions exhibited remnant polarization values of ~32 μC/cm 2 , increasing with Ti substitution. Depolarization by the hydrostatic pressure induced FE-AFE phase transition was drastically affected by variation of the Ti and Nb substitution, increasing at a rate of 113 MPa / 1% Ti and 21 MPa / 1% Nb. Total depolarization output was insensitive to the change in Ti and Nb substitution, ~32.8 μC/cm 2 for the PSZT ceramics. The R3c-R3m and R3m-Pm3m phase transition temperatures on heating ranged from 90 to 105°C and 183 to 191°C, respectively. Ti substitution stabilized the R3c and R3m phases to higher temperatures, while Nb substitution stabilized the Pm3m phase to lower temperatures. Thermal hysteresis of the phase transitions was also observed in the ceramics, with transition temperature on cooling being as much as 10°C lower.

Superconducting low-beta Nb 3 Sn cavity for ATLAS and future ion accelerators

We report on a Nb 3 Sn-coated low-beta superconducting radio frequency (RF) cavity intended for accelerating ions. We aim to apply the cavity in ATLAS, our Argonne National Laboratory user facility for nuclear physics studies with ion beams in the energy range of 5–20 MeV u −1 . The Nb 3 Sn-coated cavity, a 145 MHz quarter-wave optimized for ions moving with velocity β = $v/c$ = 0.08 exhibits an order-of-magnitude reduction in RF losses into helium at 4.4 K compared to a superconducting niobium (Nb) cavity at the same frequency and temperature. Experimentally measured fields are among the highest to date for any Nb 3 Sn-coated cavity, reaching a peak surface magnetic field of 105 mT. We also present a practical solution to the problem of cavity frequency tuning. Tuning by mechanical deformation has been a challenge with Nb 3 Sn due to its brittle nature, however, using a set of techniques tailored to the properties of thin-film Nb 3 Sn on Nb, we can repeatably tune the cavity to the ATLAS master clock frequency after it is cooled, while maintaining the excellent performance characteristics. The same Nb 3 Sn cavity technology offers broad benefits for future ion accelerators.
