Broadband seismic data of 146 and 131 teleseismic earthquake events recorded at DHN and BOKR stations during 2007-2014 were analyzed for the present measurements.The study is carried out using rotation-correlation and transverse component minimization methods. We retain our "Good", "Fair" and "Null" measurements, and estimate the splitting parameters using 13 "Good" results for DHN and 10 "Good" results for BOKR stations. The average splitting parameters(φ,δt)for DHN and BOKR stations are found to be 50.76°±5.46° and 0.82±0.2 s and 56.30°±5.07° and0.95 ± 0.17 s, and the estimated average thicknesses of the anisotropic layers beneath these two stations are ~94 and ~109 km,respectively. The measured deviation of azimuth of the fast axis direction(0)from the absolute motion of the Indian plate ranges from ~8° to 14°. The measured deviation of azimuth of the fast axis direction(0) from the absolute motion of the Indian plate ranges from ~8° to 14°. The eastward deviation of the fast axis azimuths from absolute plate motion direction is interpreted to be caused by induced outflow from the asthenosphere. Further, the delay time found in the present analysis is close to the global average for continental shield areas, and also coherent with other studies for Indian shield regions. The five "Null" results and the lower delay time of ~0.5-0.6 s might be indicating multilayer anisotropy existing in the mantle lithosphere beneath the study area.展开更多

On the basis of this, the local lattice distortions, the ZFS parameters D, a, F and the optical spectrum for Cr2+ ions doped into ZnSe are theoretically investigated, and the contributions of the spin singlets have been taken into account. The calculated ZFS parameters are in good agreement with the experimental values. From our calculations, the tetragonal distortion parameters AR = 0.091A and Aθ = 4.28° of Cr2+ in ZnSe are acquired, and the results suggest that there exists a tetragonal expansion distortion for the local lattice structure of (CrSe4)6- clusters in ZnSe crystals. The influence of the spin singlets on ZFS parameters is also discussed, indicating that the contributions to ZFS parameters a and F cannot be ignored.展开更多
