Rotational relaxation in ultracold He+BH collisions

Collisions of cold and ultracold BH in the v= 0 level with the He atom are investigated using the quantum mechanical scattering formulation. The elastic and the inelastic cross sections are calculated using the two-dimensional ab initio potential energy surface. It is shown that the elastic cross section is larger than the inelastic one. When the collision energy is very low, the elastic cross section follows the Wigner threshold law and is one order of magnitude larger than that of He-O2, while it is much smaller than that of He--H2. The efficiency of the rotationally quenching state is given. The △j = -1 transition is most efficient. The resonances are also found to occur at about the same translational energy （0.1-1 cm-1）, which gives rise to steps in the rate coefficient at temperatures around 0.1-1 K.

Rovibrational quenching of BH in ultracold 3~He collisions

The interaction potential of a He-BH complex is investigated by the coupled-cluster single-double plus perturbative triples （CCSD （T）） method and an augmented correlation consistent polarized valence （aug-cc-pV）5Z basis set extended with a set of （3s3p2dlflg） midbond functions. Using the five two-dimensional model potentials, the first three-dimensional interaction potential energy surface is constructed by interpolating along （r-re） by using a fourth-order polynomial. The cross sections for the rovibrational relaxation of BH in cold and ultracold collisions with 3He atom are calculated based on the three-dimensional potential. The results show that the △v =-1 transition is more efficient than the △v=-2 transition, and that the process of relaxation takes place mainly between rotational energy levels with the same vibration state and the △j=-1 transition is the most efficient. The zero temperature quenching rate coefficient is finite as predicted by Wigner＇s law. The resonance is found to take place around 0.1-1 cm^-1 translational energy, which gives rise to a step in the rate coefficients for temperatures around 0.1-1 K. The final rotational distributions in the state v = 0 resulting from the quenching of state （v = 1,j = 0） at three energies corresponding to the three different regimes are also given.

Resistance and Reactance of Monopole Fields Induced by a Test Charge Drifting Off-Axis in a Cold and Collisional Cylindrical Plasma

We study the interaction of a uniform, cold and collisional plasma with a test charged particle moving off-axis at a constant speed down a cylindrical tube with a resistive thick metallic wall. Upon matching the electromagnetic field components at all interfaces, the induced monopole electromagnetic fields in the plasma are obtained in the frequency domain. An expression for the plasma electric resistance and reactance is derived and analyzed numerically for some representative parameters. Near the plasma resonant frequency, the plasma resistance evolves with frequency like a parallel RLC resonator with peak resistance at the plasma frequency pe, while the plasma reactance can be capacitive or inductive in nature depending on the frequency under consideration.

Molecular collisions:From near-cold to ultra-cold

In the past two decades,the revolutionary technologies of creating cold and ultracold molecules have provided cutting-edge experiments for studying the fundamental phenomena of collision physics.To a large degree,the recent explosion of interest in the molecular collisions has been sparked by dramatic progress of experimental capabilities and theoretical methods,which permit molecular collisions to be explored deep in the quantum mechanical limit.Tremendous experimental advances in the field have already been achieved,and the authors,from an experimental perspective,provide a review of these studies for exploring the nature of molecular collisions occurring at temperatures ranging from the Kelvin to the nanoKelvin regime,as well as for applications of producing ultracold molecules.

碰撞带热结构与碰撞成矿系统

造山带热结构对大陆碰撞带的形态大小、构造式样、岩浆活动和变质作用具有重要控制作用。然而,热结构对碰撞成矿作用的控制还不清楚。本文概述比利牛斯、阿尔卑斯、加里东、扎格罗斯、青藏高原和华力西等全球主要碰撞带的热结构与成矿系统发育特征,对比各个造山带内不同矿床类型成矿温度变化,探讨热结构对碰撞成矿的控制作用。研究表明,碰撞带主要发育盆地流体有关的密西西比河谷型铅锌矿床、变质流体有关的造山型金矿床和岩浆热液有关矿床(斑岩铜矿床、云英岩型钨锡矿床和岩浆热液有关的铌钽锂铍矿床等)。其中,前两者在大多数碰撞带内均有发育,代表了大陆碰撞成矿作用的基本类型。这些矿床的成矿温度在热碰撞带比较高而在冷碰撞带则偏低。岩浆热液有关矿床一般只出现在比较热的碰撞带内,这些热碰撞带的温度压力条件有很大区域在湿固相线以内,热扰动能够造就地壳发生部分熔融形成含矿岩浆。

Electromagnetic Wave Attenuation in Atmospheric Pressure Plasma

When an electromagnetic （EM） wave propagates in an atmospheric pressure plasma （APP） layer, its attenuation depends on the APP parameters such as the layer width, the electron density and its profile and collision frequency between electrons and neutrals. This paper proposes that a combined parameter -the product of the line average electron density n and width d of the APP layer （i.e., the total number of electrons in a unit volume along the wave propagation path） can play a more explicit and decisive role in the wave attenuation than any of the above individual parameters does. The attenuation of the EM wave via the product of n and d with various collision frequencies between electrons and neutrals is presented.
