Two-center level diagrams for the neutron orbitals in the scattering of '60 on "Mg and of "0 on 24Mg are calculated by using a deformed potential for 24,25Mg. Possible consequences of the nuclear Landau-Zener mechanism, namely the promotion of nucleons at avoided level crossings, and of the rotational coupling between crossing molecular singleparticle orbitals are studied for inelastic excitati...

The effect of hole doping on the exchange coupling of the nearest neighbor (NN) Mn pairs in Zn(1-x)MnxTe is probed by inelastic neutron scattering. The difference in the NN exchange energy DeltaJ1 in the presence and in the absence of the holes is determined. The obtained value of DeltaJ1 is in good agreement with the predictions of the Zener/RKKY model, even on the insulator side of the metal-...

In heavy ion collisions, the molecular single-particle motion may cause specific structures in the energy dependence of the cross sections which anse by the promotion of nucleons at level crossings according to the Landau-Zener excitation mechanism. In order to examine this effect in asymmetric heavy ion collisions, we have calculated level diagrams of the two-center shell model for the target ...

We exploit the concept of Landau-Zener transitions at avoided energy crossings as a quantum-control tool. In an avoided crossing the two quantum states interchange their characteristics as an external parameter is varied. Depending on the rate of change of the parameter it is possible to control the final state. We use this simple idea to travel along the energy spectrum of a realistic system: ...

We consider an inverse problem for determining an inhomogeneity in a viscoelastic body of the Zener type, using Cauchy boundary data, under cyclic loads at low frequency. We show that the inverse problem reduces to the one for the Helmholtz equation and to the same nonlinear Calderon equation given for the harmonic case. A method of solution is proposed which consists in two steps : solution of...

We investigate the production efficiency of ultracold molecules in bosonic 85Rb and fermionic 40K when the magnetic field is swept across a Feshbach resonance. For adiabatic sweeps of the magnetic field, our novel model shows that the conversion efficiency of both species is solely determined by the phase space density of the atomic cloud, in contrast with a number of theoretical predictions. I...
