On the relative entropy

ForA any subset of () (the bounded operators on a Hilbert space) containing the unit, and and restrictions of states on () toA, ent _A (|)—the entropy of relative to given the information inA—is defined and given an axiomatic characterisation. It is compared with ent _A ^A (|)—the relative entropy introduced by Umegaki and generalised by various authors—which is defined only forA an algebra. It is proved that ent and ent ^S agree on pairs of normal states on an injective von Neumann algebra. It is also proved that ent always has all the most important properties known for ent ^S : monotonicity, concavity,w* upper semicontinuity, etc.     

Three-Mode Entangled State Representation of Continuum Variables and Optical Four-Wave Mixing

We establish a new three-mode entangled state representation , of continuum variables, which make up a complete set. Using optical four-wave mixing and a beam splitter transform we can prepare , . Based on , a new number-difference--operational-phase uncertainty relation is established and the corresponding squeezing dynamics is discussed.     

The energy of periodic surface structures in ferromagnetism

The periodic domain structures on unfavourably oriented surface layers of ferromagnetic materials were studied both experimentally and theoretically. The connection between the surface structure and the crystallographic orientation of the crystals was confirmed. All the terms contributing to the total energy of the surface layer were calculated. A general solution of the potential problem is given for arbitrary periodic distribution of the charges.

The use of the repulsive potential in the quantum theory of solids

A new method is proposed for calculating the energy in certain special points of the Brillouin zone. The wave functions of valence and conduction electrons are given in the form of the linear combination of plane waves and the orthogonality condition of these functions to the wave functions of lower states is replaced by the repulsive potential. The practical application of this very simple method is illustrated on the energy spectrum of silicon in the centre of the Brillouin zone. It is proved that the results are comparable with some other methods, e. g. the orthogonalized plane-wave method.

Theory of percolation in fluids of long molecules

We use the reference interaction site model (RISM) integral equation theory to study the percolation behavior of fluids composed of long molecules. We examine the roles of hard core size and of length-to-width ratio on the percolation threshold. The critical density _c is a nonmonotonic function of these parameters exhibiting competition of different effects. Comparisons with Monte Carlo calculations of others are reasonably good. For critical exponents, the theory yields =2=2 for molecules of any noninfinite lengthL. WhenL is very large, the theory yields _cL ^–2. These predictions compare favorably with observations of the conductivity for random assemblies of conductive fibers. The threshold region where asymptotic scaling holds requires the correlation length (/ _c ) ^–v to be much larger thanL. Evidently, the range of densities in this region diminishes asL increases, requiring that density deviations from _c be no larger thanL ^–2. Otherwise, crossover behavior will be observed.

The meson decay of light hyperfragments

The binding energies of five types of light hyperfragments, i. e. of atomic nuclei of light elements containing one hyperon instead of one neutron, were measured. The hyperfragments originated by means of the interaction of K^– mesons with the nuclei of light elements, contained in the emulsion.

Die Umwandlung der Fackelentladung in die Hochfrequenz-korona

Zusammenfassung Durch künstliche Senkung der Temperatur der Fackelentladung geht diese Entladung in eine Hochfrequenz-Korona über. Wenn die Temperatur der Entladung sinkt, wächst in ihr die elektrische Feldstärke; dadurch werden die Bedingungen des thermodynamischen Gleichgewichts gestört und es beginnt der Übergang von der thermischen zur elektrischen Ionisation. Die Erläuterung wird durch die Spektralanalyse und das Studium der Fackelentladung mittels einer zeitlich zerlegten Photographie ergänzt.

Bunching phenomena during electron injection into the betatron II. Theory of starting conditions

A theory of the azimuthal bunching of electrons injected into the betatron is presented and compared with the experiments described in [1]. The bunching is treated as a small perturbation of the stationary beam.The stationary injected beam is replaced by the corresponding equilibrium beam of the same perveance so that the angular velocity spread of the injected electrons is proportional to the square root of the injection perveance.Self-consistent wave solutions for the perturbation of the stationary solution are then found. Equations giving the amplification of small density or energy disturbances along the beam are derived. These disturbances are assumed to be introduced by density or velocity modulation of the injected beam. The condition for the spontaneous occurrence of bunching is deduced by assuming that the disturbances do not vanish even when there is no modulation of the injected beam. The resulting expressions for the threshold perveance and the rise-time of the disturbance are in reasonably good agreement with the experiments. Such agreement may be considered as further verification of the statement made in [1] that the amplification of the disturbances is caused by the negative mass instability mechanism.

Determination of the electron density at the Cu nucleus in Cu-Au alloys

The half-life of⁶⁴Cu in Cu–Au solid solutions has been measured as a function of the Cu concentration. Relative changes of electron densities (0)/(0) at the Cu nucleus are deduced. The observed nonlinear concentration dependence of (0)/(0) is discussed in terms of volume and charge transfer effects.

The probability distribution of the velocities of gas molecules after collision with a rapidly moving rigid body

The above problem is met, for example, in the case of the collision of molecules of the atmosphere with an artificial earth satellite and leads to the problem of determining the probability distribution of the absolute value of the vector sum of a constant vector and a Maxwell vector (the latter being a vector, whose rectangular components are distributed normally, with the same standard deviation and mean value zero). The resultant probability density is given by equation (18), the complement to the distribution function by (24), the mean value by (27) and the variance by (31). These results are obtained by transforming the corresponding three-dimensional normal distribution to spherical co-ordinates and integrating over the co-ordinate angles and , which yields the required probability density; the other results are then obtained from it by the usual methods.

On the equivalence of boundary conditions

We show that ifb andb are two boundary conditions (b.c.) for general spin systems on ^d such that the difference in the energies of a spin configuration in ^d is uniformly bounded, |H _,b ()–H _,b()|C < , then any infinite-volume Gibbs states and obtained with these b.c. have the same measure-zero sets. This implies that the decompositions of and into extremal Gibbs states are equivalent (mutually absolutely continuous). In particular, if is extremal,=. Application of this observation yields in an easy way (among other things) (a) the uniqueness of the Gibbs states for one-dimensional systems with forces that are not too long-range; (b) the fact that various b.c. that are natural candidates for producing non-translation-invariant Gibbs states cannot lead to such an extremal Gibbs state in two dimensions.Supported in part by NSF Grant PHY 78–15920 and by the Swiss National Foundation For Scientific Research.     

Relative change of the electron density at the Cu nucleus in Cu-Ag alloys

The decay constant of⁶⁴Cu in Cu–Ag solid solutions has been measured at various Cu concentrations. Deduced values of the relative changes of electron densities (0)/(0) at the Cu nucleus are given. The observed concentration dependence of (0)/(0) is discussed in terms of a volume effect and charge transfer from Cu to Ag.

The influence of an alternating magnetic field on the remanent state of magnetically soft materials

A study is made of the influence of an alternating magnetic field of varying maximum amplitude on the remanent state, or rather, apparent remanent state of toroidal and open samples of metallic and non-metallic magnetically soft ferromagnetics. An interpretation of the corresponding dependences is given on the basis of Kondorski's conception of the composition of a polycrystalline jerromagnetic material.

     

Gelfand Pairs with Coherent States

The notion of solvable Gelfand pairs (K,N) (K is a compact Lie group acting on N, a solvable connected and simply connected Lie group) is due to Benson, Jenkins and Ratcliff. Thanks to the localization lemma, they came back to the case where K is a connected subgroup of U(n) acting on N = Hn, the 2n + 1-dimensional Heisenberg group. They gave a geometrical condition for such a pair: (K,Hn) is a Gelfand pair if and only if the intersection of each coadjoint orbit of G = K Hn with (Lie K) contains at most one integral K-orbit. Using coherent states, we define here a generating function of multiplicity m for each in K^. m is holomorphic on D(0,1), m (r) = n = 0 an rn, an and limr 1 m (r) = mtp (, W) (W is the generic representation of Hn naturally extended to K). (K,Hn) is thus a Gelfand pair if and only if limr 1 m 1. We prove here that if m is a non homogeneous function, then there is at least two K-orbits in the intersection of the generic coadjoint orbit associated to with (Lie K).
