A reanalysis of old data removes the (0+,2+) ambiguity for a very narrow state at Ex(20Ne)=11.55 MeV and gives a unique 0+ assignment. Such a 0+ state corresponds well to a predicted state at 11.494 MeV of unusually small reduced widths for decay to both the ground and first excited state of 16O. This new 0+ state is a better 06+ band head for the 8p-4h states at 15.159 MeV (6+) and 18.538 MeV (8+) than the currently accepted 0+ state …


A Simple Model For Impurity Photoabsorption In Silicon, Gust Bambakidis Jun 1984

A Simple Model For Impurity Photoabsorption In Silicon, Gust Bambakidis

Physics Faculty Publications

A simple model for absorption of infrared radiation by impurity atoms in silicon crystals has been developed and applied to electronic excitations ofthe Group V donors Bi, Sb, As, and P, and the Group III acceptors B, AI, Ga, and In. The model is based on the quantum-defect method for approximating bound donor or acceptor wave functions outside the core region of the impurity. For each donor species, the relative oscillator strengths have been calculated for the transitions from the ground state to the first four excited levels. For each acceptor species, the relative oscillator strengths were calculated for transitions …


Relativistic Invariance And Zitterbewegung, James A. Lock Mar 1984

Relativistic Invariance And Zitterbewegung, James A. Lock

Physics Faculty Publications

We examine the question of what it is about the structure of relativistic quantum mechanics that causes the nonintuitive phenomenon of the Zitterbewegung of particle position to exist. Further, we examine various assumptions concerning the measurement process which are implicit in the observation of Zitterbewegung.
