Based on the assumption of a two-quark structure of the scalar meson f0（980） ,we calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for the four B → f0（980） π and B → f0（980） η^（＇） decays by employing the perturbative QCD（pQCD） factorization approach. The leading order pQCD predictions for branching ratios are,Br（B^-→ f0（980） π^-） ～ 2.5×10^-6,Br（Bˉ^0 → f0（980） π^0） ～ 2.6×10^-7,Br（Bˉ^0 → f0（980） η） ～ 2.5×10^-7 and Br（Bˉ^0 → f0（980） η ） ～ 6.7×10^-7,which are consistent with both the QCD factorization predictions and the experimental upper limits.
By employing the perturbative QCD （pQCD） factorization approach, we calculate the full leading and the partial next-to-leading order （NLO） contributions to the seven B →πη（′） and η（′）η（′） decays. For B^＋→ π＋η（′） decays, the pQCD predictions for their decay rates agree very well with the data after the inclusion of the small NLO contributions. For neutral decays, the pQCD predictions are also consistent with the experimental upper limits and can be tested by the LHC experiments. The measured value of dir .Acp^dir（π＋η）= 19±7% can also be accommodated by the pQCD approach.
In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays B^0 → a0^0（980）π^0, a0^＋ （980）π^-, a0^-（980）π^＋ and B^- → a0^0 （980）π^-, a0^- （980）π^0 by employing the perturbative QCD （pQCD） factorization approach at the leading order. We found that （a） the pQCD predictions for the branching ratios are around （0.4-2.8） × 10^-6, consistent with currently available experimental upper limits; （b） the CP asymmetries of B^0→ a0^0（980）π^0 and B^- → a0^- （980）π^0 decays can be large, about （70-80）% for α= 100°.
Based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalar meson K0^＊（1430）, we calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios for B→K0^＊（1430）η（＇） decays in the framework of the perturbative QCD （pQCD） approach here. We perform the evaluations in two scenarios for the scalar meson spectrum. We find that： （a） the pQCD predictions for Br（B→K0^＊（1430）η（＇）） which are about 10^-5 10^-6, basically agree with the data within large theoretical uncertainty; （b） the agreement between the pQCD predictions and the data in Scenario Ⅰ is better than that in Scenario Ⅱ, which can be tested by the forthcoming LHC experiments; （c） the annihilation contributions play an important role for these considered decays.
