A comparison of two models of theρ-meson

A renormalization of the-propagator is presented. It is shown that if the-wave, isovector - amplitude is assumed to be dominated by this renormalized, many scattering parameters are predicted that agree well with experimental data. The model is compared with one presented by Tschang and Parkinson. It is shown that the predictions of the two models are the same, but that the renormalization model does not contain some of the theoretical problems of the Tschang and Parkinson scheme.Research partially supported by NSF Institutional Grant No. GU3220 and a grant from the Research Corporation.     

A Theoretical Study of Super-Excited States of F2

In the framework of quantum defect theory, we study super-excited states of F2 molecules which can dissociate into F^＋ （^3P2,1,0） and F^-（^1 So） ion-pair. Based on our calculation, we present a vibrational resolved assignment of the high precision photofragment yield spectra for F^- from the F2 ion-pair production.     

A Possible Origin of Dark Energy

We discuss the possibility that the existence of dark energy may be due to the presence of a spin zero field φ(χ),either elementary or composite. In the presence of other matter field, the transformation φ(χ)→φ(χ)＋constant can generate a negative pressure, like the cosmological constant. In this picture, our universe can be thought asa very large bag, similar to the much smaller MIT bag model for a single nucleon.     

A New Type of Terahertz Waveguides

A new type of THz waveguides, which employs a solid polyethylene rod as the core and polyethylene tubes in a periodic array of square lattice as the cladding, is proposed. Optical properties of this new THz waveguide, especially in dispersion, confinement loss and single mode property, are investigated in detail with the plane wave expansion method and the beam propagation method. Numerical results demonstrate that the new THz waveguide can reach not only low dispersion but also low confinement loss at single mode propagation. Therefore, the square lattice structure is a better candidate as THz waveguides than the triangular ones.     

A Complexity View of Acid Deposition

We show that acid deposition is analogous to complex systems composed of a series of interconnected components. Frequency-size distributions of weekly hydrogen deposition (WHD) of precipitation are consistent with double power-law in two different regimes separated by a crossover WHD. The distribution of variations in acid deposition over a week interval is remarkably symmetrical, with long tail extending over eight orders of magnitude. The acid deposition fluctuations exhibit fractal Brown motion with two different temporal scaling regimes and long-range correlation exists in the series. The power-laws in the acid deposition dynamics are considered to be indicators of self-organization of atmosphere under environmental pollution stress.

A study of melting of various types of Pt–Pd nanoparticles

The melting processes of various Pt–Pd nanoparticles (binary alloy, core–shell, D ≤ 4.0 nm) with different percent platinum atom content are investigated via the molecular dynamics using the embedded atom method potential in order to establish the thermal stability of simulated particle structure. In accordance with the data obtained, the most thermally stable are Pt–Pd nanoalloys with a diameter above 2.0 nm and core–shell Pd@Pt particles. As is shown, heating of binary Pt–Pd cluster alloys with the particle diameters less than 2.0 nm may cause the transition to pentagonal symmetry structures and core–shell-like complex formations.

A Precise Formulation of the Third Law of Thermodynamics

The third law of thermodynamics is formulated precisely: all points of the state space of zero temperature  Γ₀  are physically adiabatically inaccessible from the state space of a simple system. In addition to implying the unattainability of absolute zero in finite time (or “by a finite number of operations”), it admits as corollary, under a continuity assumption, that all points of  Γ₀  are adiabatically equivalent. We argue that the third law is universally valid for all macroscopic systems which obey the laws of quantum mechanics and/or quantum field theory. We also briefly discuss why a precise formulation of the third law for black holes remains an open problem.     

A New Family of Deformations of Darboux-Pöschl-Teller Potentials

The aim of this Letter is to present a new family of integrable functional-difference deformations of the Schrödinger equation with Darboux–Pöschl–Teller potentials. The related potentials are labeled by two integers m and n, and also depend on a deformation parameter h. When h 0 the classical Darboux–Pöschl–Teller model is recovered.     

Subdiffusion-limited A+A reactions

We consider the coagulation dynamics A+A-->A and A+A <==> A and the annihilation dynamics A+A-->0 for particles moving subdiffusively in one dimension. This scenario combines the "anomalous kinetics" and "anomalous diffusion" problems, each of which leads to interesting dynamics separately and to even more interesting dynamics in combination. Our analysis is based on the fractional diffusion equation.

A model for vibrational properties of the atomic interface in A/B fcc metals

The motivation of this theoretical work is to introduce a model calculation for the elastic waves scattering and coherent phonon transport at an atomic nanojunction between face-centered cubic (fcc) leads. The model system A/B consists of two perfect semi-infinite fcc leads A and B, oriented in the same direction and joined by an atomic interface. It is applied to the system Cu/Ni and its inverse Ni/Cu. A theoretical approach based on the matching method is used to study the dynamics of the system A/B.     

A model of crack based on dislocations in smectic A liquid crystals

A plastic crack model for smectic A liquid crystals under longitudinal shear is suggested. The solution of the screw dislocation in smectic A is the key to the correct result that we obtained by overcoming a longstanding puzzle. We further use the dislocation pile-up principle and the singular integral equation method to construct the solution of the crack in the phase. From the solution, we can determine the size of the plastic zone at the crack tip and the crack tip opening （tearing） displacement, which are the parameters relevant to the local stability/instability of materials. Our results may be useful for developing soft-matter mechanics.     

X-rays investigations of the smectic A1 - smectic A2 transition

We confirm by X-rays studies on aligned samples the existence in a binary system of a smectic A - smectic A transition. We find that the smectic layer periodicity is doubled from the higher phase S_A1 to the lower one S_A2. The observation of diffuse scattering planes in nematic and S_A1 indicates the existence of pretransitional S_A2 effects and we suggest an analogy between the S_A1–S_A2 transition and the classical para-antiferroelectric transition in crystals.     

Stability of A15 type phases

Previous works dealing with the stability of the A15 phases are reviewed. Data for over 60 known A15 phases are used to develop criteria for stability which may be applied to hypothetical A15 phases. Occurrence of these phases is examined in terms of the valence bond concepts of the Engel-Brewer correlation and in its frequency with changes in electronic density of states. A15 is most favored when the “A” elements are V, Nb or Cr, when radii of the constituent atoms differ by no more than 8 per cent, at compositions determined by electron concentration, and at relatively low temperatures. Composition and temperature of formation are predicted for several likely hypothetical A15 phases.     

A small volume thermodynamic system for B/A measurement.

A thermodynamic method capable of determining the B/A value of 4-ml sample volumes is described. The method involves a procedure in which the static pressure of the sample is altered in a short period of time, to approximate an adiabatic process, during which the ultrasonic velocity is measured. The velocity change so determined is used to calculate the B/A value. The B/A measurement error is less than 0.7%.     

A structural study of the A1-Ge(001) interface using total-reflected x-ray diffraction

Total-reflected x-ray diffraction of the A1-Ge(001) interface is analyzed by means of a simple theoretical model. The result suggests that the horizontal lattice constant of the initially deposited 30 ± 5 A1 layers changes gradually from 3.997 Å to 4.05 Å to accommodate the mismatch of the Ge and A1 lattice constants. The analysis also indicates that the A1 layer lattice is more disordered closer to the Ge substrate and is made up of ordered domains with an average size of 320 Å for all the A1 films prepared.

LowpT phenomena in A+A and p+A collisions at mid-rapidity

CERN experiment NA44 measures pion and kaon distributions atpT=0–320 MeV/c at midrapidity in p+A and A+A collisions at 450 and 200A GeV/c, respectively. Pion production from p+Pb and A+A is slightly enhanced at lowpT relative to p+Be, but less than observed at target rapidity. The lowpT behavior can be understood in the context of the RQMD model as arising from baryonic resonance decays.
