Scissors Modes are collective excitations in which two particle systems move with respect to each other conserving their shape. For the first time they were predicted to occur in deformed atomic nuclei by N. LoIudice and F. Palumbo,〔N. Lo Iudice and F. Palumbo, ''Phys. Rev. Lett.'' 41, 1532 (1978). (10.1103/PhysRevLett.41.1532 )〕 who used a semiclassical Two Rotor Model, whose solution required a realization of the O(4) algebra that was not known in mathematics. In this model protons and neutrons were assumed to form two interacting rotors to be identified with the blades of scissors. Their relative motion (Fig.1) generates a magnetic dipole moment whose coupling with the electromagnetic field provides the signature of the mode. Such states have been experimentally observed for the first time by A. Richter and collaborators〔D. Bohle, A. Richter, W. Steffen, A. E. L. Dieperink, N. Lo Iudice, F. Palumbo and O. Scholten, ''Phys. Lett. B'' 137, 27 (1984). http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0370-2693(84)91099-2〕 in a rare earth nucleus, 156Gd, and then systematically investigated experimentally and theoretically in all deformed atomic nuclei. Inspired by this, D. Guéry-Odelin and S. Stringari〔D. Guéry-Odelin and S. Stringari, ''Phys. Rev. Lett.'' 83, 4452 (1999). (10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.4452 )〕 predicted similar collective excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates in magnetic traps. In this case one of the blades of the scissors must be identified with the moving cloud of atoms and the other one with the trap. Also this excitation mode was experimentally confirmed.〔O. M. Maragò, S. A. Hopkins, J. Arlt, E. Hodby, G. Hechenblaikner and C. J. Foot, ''Phys. Rev. Lett.'' 84, 2056 (2000). (10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.2056 )〕 In close analogy similar collective excitations have predicted in a number of other systems, including metal clusters,〔E. Lipparini and S. Stringari, ''Phys. Rev. Lett.'' 63, 570 (1989). (10.1103/PhysRevLett.63.570 )〕 quantum dots,〔L. Serra, A. Puente and E. Lipparini, ''Phys. Rev. B'' 60, R13966 (1999). (10.1103/PhysRevB.60.R13966 )〕 Fermi condensates〔A. Minguzzi and M. P. Tosi, ''Phys. Rev. A'' 63, 023609 (2001). (10.1103/PhysRevA.63.023609 )〕 and crystals,〔K. Hatada, K. Hayakawa and F. Palumbo, ''Phys. Rev. B'' 71, 092402 (2005). (10.1103/PhysRevB.71.092402 )〕 but none of them has yet been experimentally investigated or found. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scissors Modes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
