Effective stimulated emission and excited-state absorption cross-section spectra of para-phenylene-ethynylene polymers

The effective stimulated emission cross-section spectra, em,eff(), the stimulated emission cross-section spectra, em(), and the excited-state absorption cross-section spectra, ex()=em()–em,eff(), of the conjugated polymers poly(2,5-dioctadecyloxy-paraphenylene-ethynylene-co-2,5-thienyl) (OPT) and poly(2,5-dioctadecyloxy-paraphenylene-ethynylene-co-2,5-pyridinyl) (OPP) in tetrahydrofuran are determined in the fluorescence region. em,eff() determined by a fluorescence amplification technique is found to be small compared to em() indicating that ex() is nearly as large as em(). The laser excitation to the wide inhomogeneously broadened S1-absorption band leads to the formation of spectrally structured inhomogeneously broadened lattice relaxed exciton conformations extending on average over two monomer units which are thought to be responsible for upper-to-lower-state stimulated emission and lower-to-upper-state (excited-state) absorption.     

QCD sum rule analysis of the coupling constant g ωσγ

We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the coupling constant g by studying the three point -correlation function. Our result complements the analysis of this coupling constant utilizing the experimental value of the ⁰⁰ decay rate studied within the framework of chiral perturbation theory including vector meson and meson intermediate states.     

Resistance to dislocation motion in copper-based solid solutions with a statistically disordered atomic distribution

The stress _F due to friction forces in copper-based solid solutions was determined. Under the conditions of the procedure used to measure _F, on the basis of the half-wave hysteresis with polycrystalline samples, the value of d: _F = _F0 + K_Fd^–(1/2) where _F0 is the resistance to dislocation motion in an alloy having an infinite grain size, and K_F is a constant. It is shown that _F0 is governed by the interaction of moving dislocations with impurity atoms in the case of a statistically disordered atomic distribution. A study was made of the effects of various factors on _F and of the nature of the changes in _F0 caused by alloying.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, No.3, pp. 18–23, March, 1971.     

Correlation inequalities for the truncated two-point function of an Ising ferromagnet

We establish the following new correlation inequalities for the truncated twopoint function of an Ising ferromagnet in a positive external field: _j ; _l ^T _j ; _k ^T _k ; _l ^T , and _j ; _l ^T _{k K j} ; _k ^T _{k l} , whereK is any set of sites which separatesj froml. The inequalities are also valid for the pure phases with zero magnetic field at all temperatures. Above the critical temperature they reduce to known inequalities of Griffiths and Simon, respectively.NSERC Postgraduate Fellow, 1978–1981.

Using the iteration method, the author obtains the transfer equation for the scattering of electromagnetic waves in a system comprising a large number of statistically independent particles spherical in shape under the condition c^–1 1 c is the density of the number of particles, the scattering cross section for a single particle, and the wave number. The method is easily extended to the scattering of scalar waves.In conclusion the author expresses his thanks to V. E. Zuev and S. D. Tvorogov for their guidance and observations on the study.     

Propagation of electromagnetic waves in a random medium and nonzero rest mass of the photon

The propagation of electromagnetic waves is studied in a Maxwell vacuum with 0. The photon loses energy during its propagation through this vacuum. This dissipation of energy is related to the fluctuation of the refractive index of the underlying vacuum. There exists a bounded and unique solution in the limit 0 in the asymptotic region. The geometric structure of the background space-time is Finslerian in nature.     

Infinite hierarchy of exponents in a two-component random resistor network

We have studied the voltage distribution for a two-component random mixture of conductances _a and _b. A scaling theory is developed for the moments of the distribution, which predicts, for small values ofh=_a/_b, an infinite number of crossover exponents, one for each moment, for Euclidean dimensiond >2, and only one crossover exponent ford=2. Monte Carlo results on the square lattice confirm this prediction.     

Electrical conductivity of electrons in a model binary disordered alloy with long range order

The CPA d. c. electrical conductivity for a bcc based random binary substitutional alloy with long range ordering is determined for a single band model with diagonal disorder and arbitrary alloy parameters. The CPA vertex corrections to vanish, off-diagonal elements of the Green function are most important. The conductivity obeys general symmetries with respect to alloy parameters and can be brought to closed form resembling the standard expression = ne²/m. To interpret various terms in correctly, limits with available Boltzmann equation solutions are analyzed in detail.     

Mixing properties,differentiability of the free energy and the central limit theorem for a pure phase in the Ising model at low temperature

For the Ising model with nearest neighbour interaction it is shown that the spin correlations _{A B} - _{A B} decrease exponentially asd(A, B) in a pure phase when the temperature is well belowT _c. This is used to prove that the free energyF(,h) is infinitely differentiable in and has one sided derivatives inh of all orders forh=0. The bounds are also used to prove that the central limit theorem holds for several variables such as e.g. the total energy and the total magnetization of the system, the limit distribution being gaussian with variances determined by the second derivatives ofF(,h).     

Electrical and thermal properties of chalcogenide glass system Se75Ge25−x Sb x

The dc and thermal conductivities of five different compositions of the chalcogenide glass system Se₇₅Ge_25–x Sb _x have been studied in a temperature range below T _g. The dc conductivity results indicate that each composition has a single activation energy in the considered temperature range. The coefficient of thermal conductivity increased linearly with temperature below T _g for the compositions investigated. The increase of Sb content in the chalcogenide glass system leads to an increased coefficient of electrical conductivity , an increased coefficient of thermal conductivity , and to a decreased activation energy E and pre-exponential factor ₀. The observed compositional dependencies of and E have been correlated with the increase of weak bond density and the decrease of covalent bond density in the structure of the compositions investigated with increasing Sb content at the expense of Ge content. The decrease in ₀ and the increase in has been, respectively, correlated with the decrease in mobility and the increase in phonon velocity.     

Strong scattering of radio waves by a two-layer medium with rough boundaries and inhomogeneous permittivity of the layer

An analytical expression for the two-frequency correlation function of reflected radiation is derived in the framework of the Kirchhoff approximation, assuming that the mean square roughness heights _1,2 of the upper (₁) and lower (₂) boundaries are large compared to the wavelength and taking account of large-scale permittivity fluctuations in the layer. The condition under which p cannot be small when _i ^{2 2} is specified. In particular, it is shown that if the scattering is only at the upper boundary of the layer (when ₁ 0, ₂ = = 0), then this condition is , where m, n=0, 1,.... The potential of the layered medium sounding methods based on the relations obtained is estimated.Institute of Physics, State University, Rostov-on-Don.

Some results on the behavior and estimation of the fractal dimensions of distributions on attractors

The strong interest in recent years in analyzing chaotic dynamical systems according to their asymptotic behavior has led to various definitions of fractal dimension and corresponding methods of statistical estimation. In this paper we first provide a rigorous mathematical framework for the study of dimension, focusing on pointwise dimension(x) and the generalized Renyi dimensionsD(q), and give a rigorous proof of inequalities first derived by Grassberger and Procaccia and Hentschel and Procaccia. We then specialize to the problem of statistical estimation of the correlation dimension and information dimension. It has been recognized for some time that the error estimates accompanying the usual procedures (which generally involve least squares methods and nearest neighbor calculations) grossly underestimate the true statistical error involved. In least squares analyses of and we identify sources of error not previously discussed in the literature and address the problem of obtaining accurate error estimates. We then develop an estimation procedure for which corrects for an important bias term (the local measure density) and provides confidence intervals for. The general applicability of this method is illustrated with various numerical examples.     

Macroscopic short-time electrodynamics for conductors

In the macroscopic electrodynamics (MED) of good conductors (metals) based on Ohm's law j=E, the momentum relaxation time =m/ne² of the electrons limits the application to electromagnetic (EM) processes with characteristic timest. An interesting physical difficulty occurs in MED since the EM field damping time _R=/ of metals is very small compared with the minimum macroscopic time scale, _R. Consequently, the damping and propagation of EM waves and pulses in good conductors cannot be correctly described within the frame of conventional MED. New hyperbolic EM wave equations with relaxation and memory are proposed, which no longer exhibit the _R deficiency. The latter is caused by Ohm's law, which breaks down for short-time processes, due to neglect of electron inertia. The advantages of the proposed and the disadvantages of the conventional EM wave equations for good conductors are discussed in applications.     

H+H2O reaction dynamics: state distribution for the OH product

A method has been developed to study the dynamics of high barrier reactions by combining hot-atom production by laser photolysis and fast-product detection by laser induced fluorescence. The nascent OH rotational, vibrational and fine structure state distributions produced in the endothermic reaction have been measured with hot hydrogen atoms from the photodissociation of HBr at 193 nm. OH rotational excitation is low and corresponds to a partitioning of only around 3% of the total reaction energy to OH rotation. OH could only be observed in the vibrational ground state, i.e.(v=1)/(v=0)0.1. The OH spin doublets are produced statistically, but the partitioning in the -doublets is very non-statistical with a strong preference for the ⁺-component ((⁺)/(^–)=3.2±1.0) demonstrating the exit channel of the reaction to be preferentially planar. By measuring reactant and product densities at short times, an absolute total cross-section of 0.24±0.1[Ų] has been obtained.     

Nonperturbative corrections to the cross section ratio R=σL/σT for deep-inelastic scattering

The contribution of nonperturbative corrections, proportional to the quark and gluon vacuum condensates, to the ratio R=_L/_T, where _L and _T are the cross sections for longitudinal and transversal photon scattering by nucleons, is calculated. It is shown that these condensate corrections amount to 30% in the range 0.1相似文献   

Asymptotics of decay of correlations for lattice spin fields at high temperatures. I. The Ising model

We find the asymptotic decrease of correlations < _{A +y} , _B >,yZ ^v +1, |y|, in the Ising model at high temperatures. For the case when monomials _A and _B both are odd, using the saddle-point method, we find the asymptotics of the correlations for any dimension . For even monomials _A , _B we formulate a general hypothesis about the form of the asymptotics and confirm it in two cases: (1) =1 and the vectory has an arbitrary direction, (2)y is directed along a fixed axis and arbitrary . Here we use besides the saddle-point method, some arguments from scattering theory.     

Nonlinear Kac model: Spatially homogeneous solutions and the Tjon effect

We study Kac's nonlinear model of the Boltzmann equation when the cross section() does not satisfy the special symmetry condition()=(-). We determine a differential system for the Laguerre moments of the odd and even velocity parts of the solutions. We consider the spatially homogeneous model in 1+1 dimensions (velocityv and timet) when the even velocity part of the solution is provided by the Bobylev-Krook-Wu closed solutions and study the associated odd velocity part. We find that the solutions depend on the microscopic models of(). For one class of(), which has sums of exponential terms for the Laguerre moments, we establish the relations allowing the construction of the time-dependent solutions associated with any initial distribution. We find sufficient conditions on() and on the even part such that the Laguerre series of the odd part converges. We establish a criterion for a well-defined linear combination of the moments cross section, and we check its validity for different numerical examples. We find that if the relaxation time for the even part is smaller than the corresponding one for the odd part and if the initial distribution has a narrow peak, then the Tjon effect exists for the complete B.K.W. solution (even+odd parts).     

Iteration wave function for describing the (e, 2e) spectrum of the helium atom

The wave function of the ground state of the helium atom is derived by the variational-iteration technique with the Hylleraas-Eckart momentum representation of the wave function as a first approximation. This function is used to calculate the ratios of the differential cross sections (n=2)/(n=1) and (2p)/(2s) for helium ionized by an electron impact. The calculation is conducted in the plane-wave impulse approximation for symmetric noncoplanar kinematics of the (e, 2e) process. The results are compared with previous calculations in which variational wave functions of the configurational interaction type were used. Good agreement with the existing experimental data for (n=2)/(n=1) is obtained. The results are generalized to helium ions.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 45–50, December, 1986.     

The modular group and super-KMS functionals

Every normal, faithful, self-adjoint functional on a von Neumann algebraA canonically determines a one-parameter-weakly continuous *-automorphism group (the analog of the modular group) and a canonical ₂ grading onA, commuting with . We show that the functional satisfies the weak super-KMS property with respect to and Furthermore, we prove that and are the unique pair of a-weakly continuous one-parameter *-automorphism group and a grading of the algebra, commuting with each other, with respect to which is weakly super-KMS. The above results thus provide a complete extension of the theory of Tomita and Takesaki to the nonpositive case.Supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant DMS-8922002.

Its relation to random surface methods, in particular to the work of Debrushin and Holický, Kotecký, and Zahradník, is discussed.This paper is based on a talk presented at the conference on Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions—Mathematical and Physical Aspects, Trebon, September 1–6, 1986.
