Collisionless kinetic equations for massive particles with spins 1/2 and 0 in gravitational and electromagnetic fields

We define a covariant and gauge-invariant generalization of the Wigner functions of particles with spins 1/2 and 0. The collisionless kinetic equations are obtained for these particles in external gravitational and electromagnetic fields in the quasiclassical approximation; also obtained are the momentum representations of the energy-momentum tensor, current, and spin tensor, taking into account the effects of the spin's interaction with the gravitational field an electromagnetic field. The following notation is used: e and m are the charge and mass of the particles; is Planck's constant; (x) are the covariant-fixed Dirac matrices; ^,=(1/4)[, ]: a(^b)=(1/2) (a b +ab ); [A, B]=A·B – B·A; A,B=A·B+B·A; g(x)=det(g (x));R = –...; the speed of light c=1.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 47–53, September, 1990.The author wishes the thank Yu.

Summation formulae in the theory of thin films

On the basis of general summation formulae for light reflected and transmitted by a thin film the author derives formulae for a thin dielectric film, for a thin metallic film and for a system of thin dielectric films. This solution is based on Stokes's principle of reversibility, which is the idea unifying the cases into one theory. In conclusion he gives the solution of a general case, dealing with light reflected and transmitted by a system of thin dielectric and metallic films.

Analytic study of power spectra of the tent maps near band-splitting transitions

Successive band-splitting transitions occur in the one-dimensional map x_i+1=g(x_i),i=0, 1, 2,... withg(x)=x, (0 x 1/2) –x +, (1/2 <x 1) as the parameter is changed from 2 to 1. The transition point fromN (=2ⁿ) bands to 2Nbands is given by=(2)^1/N (n=0, 1,2,...). The time-correlation function _i=x_ix₀/(x₀)²,x_i x_i–x_i is studied in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the map. It is shown that, near the transition point=2, _i–[(10–42)/17] _i,0-[(102-8)/51]_i,1 + [(7 + 42)/17](–1)ⁱe^–yi, where2(–2) is the damping constant and vanishes at=2, representing the critical slowing-down. This critical phenomenon is in strong contrast to the topologically invariant quantities, such as the Lyapunov exponent, which do not exhibit any anomaly at=2. The asymptotic expression for _i has been obtained by deriving an analytic form of _i for a sequence of which accumulates to 2 from the above. Near the transition point=(2)^1/N, the damping constant of _i fori N is given by _N=2(^N-2)/N. Numerical calculation is also carried out for arbitrary a and is shown to be consistent with the analytic results.

The vapour jets of electrode material of a short-time high-intensity electric discharge

The velocity of vapours from electrodes and the values of the electric gradient of the channel were measured. An explanation is given of the dependence of the discharge rate of the vapours on the electrode material and the thermal origin of the jets is confirmed. The validity of the results is shown for the case of a different experimental arrangement, or the formation of other types of discharges on electrodes.

     

A contribution to direct processes in the Co59(p,n) reaction forE p ∼ 6·5 MeV

Nuclear emulsions were used to study the energy spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry of neutrons from the Co⁵⁹(p,n) reaction forE _p 6·5 MeV. It was found that the decay of the compound nucleus makes a maximum contribution of 50% to the reaction yield. Energies of some excited states of the Ni⁵⁹ nucleus were also determined.

The semi-conducting properties of CdSnAs2

The paper gives the results of measuring the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity(T), the Hall coefficientR _H (T) and the magnetic susceptibility(T) forn-type CdSnAs₂. The effective mass of the electrons was determined by analysis of the measured dependences on the basis of the simple theory for an isotropic non-degenerate semi-conductor. It was found to bem _n /m ₀=2×10^–2 in the intrinsic region and does not depend on the temperature; the energy gap ise _g ⁰=0·26 eV and the molar susceptibility of the CdSnAs₂ lattice _G ^mol=–112× ×10^–6. The mobility of the electrons in the intrinsic region reaches a value of _n =25 000 cm²V^–1sec^–1 at 500°K and decreases exponentially _n T ^–1.67 with rising temperature. The density of CdSnAs₂ was determined pyknometrically,g9=5·35 g cm^–3. The measurements were made on ann-type polycrystalline sample consisting of crystals a few millimetres in diameter, which at a temperature of 100°K had a free electron concentration ofn _s =6×10¹⁶ cm^–3.

High-frequency expansion of relativistic classical plasma dielectric tensor

A high-frequency sum-rule expansion is derived for the transverse elements of the relativistic classical plasma dielectric tensor in an isotropic system. The relativistic results are different from the nonrelativistic ones by a factor of ^–1(1 – ²/3c ²) for ₂ (k) and longitudinal plasmon and transverse photon frequencies, and by ^–2(1–2 ²/3c ²) for ₂ (k).

Determination of accuracy in measuring the parameters of tetragonal and hexagonal lattices

The procedure for determining the accuracy when measuring the parameters of tetragonal and hexagonal lattices is described. The accuracy can easily be calculated for all common methods by means of graphically represented functions. The relations derived can be used as quantitative criteria for the suitability of the combination of lines from which the lattice parameters are to be determined.

The scattering of waves by a periodic surface

The paper derives a general formula for the scattering of electromagnetic (or sound) waves from a periodic, perfectly conducting (or perfectly rigid) surface. No restrictions are imposed on the angle of incidence, the size of the surface or the degree of roughness. Except for the basic Kirchhoff approximation, the method is exact. The results confirm, generalise or correct special cases obtained by more complicated methods.

Betatron oscillations in an accelerator with a general field I

The paper gives a linear theory of equilibrium trajectories in an accelerator with a generalized magnetostatic field, the components of which are defined on a general rotation surface. Equations of motion of the particles in natural coordinates are derived with respect to the change in energy and dissipative force. A system of equilibrium trajectories is found in the general form. Conditions for the field components on the reference surface, necessary for the existence of equilibrium trajectories, for the conservation of their geometric similarities and for maintaining the constancy of the frequencies of the betatron oscillations, are derived. A condition is also derived which must be satisfied by the reference surface in order to conserve constant circular frequency of the particles. It is seen that it is not possible to find a field for an accelerator with an exactly constant circular frequency and with constant frequencies of the betatron oscillation in the relativistic energy region. An ultra-relativistic cyclotron with such properties is realizable.

Studium der photodielektrischen Erscheinung an lumineszierenden Zinkkadmiumsulfiden

Zusammenfassung Die spektrale Abhägigkeit der photodielektrischen Eigenschaften der lumineszierenden Zinkkadmiumsulfide verschiedener Zusammensetzung zeigt, da eine Beimengung von Kupfer das Eintreten von Zuständen mit groer Polarisierbarkeit hervorruft, die eine Änderung der realen Komponente der Dielektrizitätskonstanten zur Folge haben. Die Kupferkonzentration kann dabei so gering sein, da sie in der Lumineszenzemission gar nicht zur Geltung kommt. Die Infrarotmaxima der Verluste entsprechen Niveaus, die von anderen Autoren und mit anderen Methoden festgestellt wurden. Das Maximum des Exzitationsspektrums im Bereiche des Ausläufers der Absorptionskante hängt mit dem Maximum der Änderung der realen Komponente der Dielektrizitätskonstante zusammen.

Generalization ability and information gain of clock-model perceptrons

We study the generalization abilityg _Q ofQ-state Clock-model perceptrons for (i) Hebbian and for certain Non-Hebbian learning procedures, namely (ii) learning with maximal stability, (iii) zero stability and (iv) optimal generalization, for the case of random training sets. Among other results we find thatg _Q behaves quite different in the Hebbian and in the Non-Hebbian cases in the limitQ. E.g. in the Hebbian case for finite ,g _Q vanishes always 1/Q, whereas in the Non-Hebbian cases considered,g _Q converges forQ to a non-trivial continuous functiong (), which vanishes for <2, but increases rapidly for >2. This means that for (ii), (iii) and (iv), as a function of atQ=, there is a 2nd-order phase transition from a non-generalizing phase for 2 to a generalizing phase for >2. Different behaviour of the Hebbian and Non-Hebbian cases, respectively, is also observed for the information gain obtained through learning. For the particular case of AdaTron Learning, which is identical to case (ii), we find a geometrical formulation forg _Q (), which is applicable to more general models.     

Der Exzitonenzerfall im elektrostatischen Felde der Störstellen von Ionenkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es wird theoretisch der Prozeß des Exzitonenzerfalls mit Hilfe der Ionisation durch das elektrostatische Feld der Störstelle untersucht. Die Wirkungsquerschnitte werden in zwei Grenzfällen bestimmt: bei einer kleinen und einer großen mittleren freien Bahn des Exzitons, die durch dessen Wechselwirkung mit den Phononen bedingt ist. Die Ergebnisse werden zum Studium des Exzitonenzerfalls an einer Vakanz nach einem Kupferion in Cu₂O-Kristallen mit einem stöchiometrischen Sauerstoffüberschuß verwendet.
