The reliable potential energy curves of the five A-S states of MgH are derived. Then the associated spectroscopic parameters are determined and found to be in good accordance with the available experimental results. The permanent dipole moments (PDMs) and the spin-orbit (SO) matrix elements of A-S states are computed. The results show that the abrupt changes of PDMs and SO matrix elements are attributed to the variations of electronic configurations at the avoided crossing point. The SOC effect leads to the five A-S states split into ten Ω states and results in the double potential well of (2)1//2 state. Finally, the transition properties from the (2)1//2, (1)3//2 and (3)1//2 states to the ground state X2∑+1//2 transitions are obtained, including the transition dipole moments, Franck-Condon factors and radiative lifetimes.展开更多

To describe the difference of overlapping between d-orbits and p orbit, two spin-orbit coupling coefficients are introduced. By simulating the crystal field parameter and EPR parameter, the local distortion parameters are studied and the relationships between the EPR parameter and the spin-orbit coupling coefficients as well as divergent parameter are discussed. These results show that the local structures exhibit compression distortion for CdCl2:V^2+ and elongation distortions for CsMgX3:V^2+ (X:Cl, Br), respectively. It notes that the empirical formula R≈RH T (ri - rh)/2 is not suitable for CdCl2:V^2+ and CsMgX3:V^2+ (X=Cl, Br) systems. The contributions of ligand to spin-orbit coupling interaction cannot be neglected for strong covalent systems, especially for V^2+ doped in CsMgBr3:V^2+.展开更多

This study is focused on two-dimensional breathers with their frequency in the gap that separates the acoustic and optical bands of the phonon spectrum. We demonstrate the possibility of the existence of two-dimensional gap breathers by using a numerical method. Six types of two-dimensional gap breathers are obtained, i.e., symmetric, mirror-symmetric and asymmetric, whether the center of the breather is on a light or a heavy atom. The difference between one-dimensional discrete gap breathers and two-dimensional discrete gap breathers is also discussed. We use Aubry's theory to analyze the stability of discrete gap breathers in the two-dimensional diatomic face-centered square lattice.展开更多

The stenosis was assumed to be axially symmetric and mild. The flow equations have been linearized and the expressions for the resistance to the flow, velocity, pressure drop, wall shear stress have been derived. The effects of various parameters on these flow variables have been investigated. It is found that the resistance to the flow and pressure drop increase with height of the stenosis and decrease with post stenotic dilatation. Pressure drop decreases with couple stress fluid parameter for both stenosis and post stenotic dilatation. Further, the wall shear stress increases with height of the stenosis and couple stress parameter but decreases with post stenotic dilatation and couple stress fluid parameter.展开更多
