More inequalities for critical exponents

A variety of rigorous inequalities for critical exponents is proved. Most notable is the low-temperature Josephson inequalitydv +2 2–. Others are 1 1 +v, 1 1 , 1,d 1 + 1/ (for d),dv, ₃ + (for d), ₄ , and _{2m 2m+2} (form 2). The hypotheses vary; all inequalities are true for the spin-1/2 Ising model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic pair interactions.NSF Predoctoral Fellow (1976–1979).

Standpoint cosmology

An unorthodox cosmology is based on a notion of standpoint, distinguishing past from future, realized through Hilbert-space representation of the complex conformai group for 3+1spacetime and associated coherent states. Physical (approximate) symmetry attaches to eight-parameter complex Poincaré displacements, interpretable as growth of standpoint age (one parameter), boost of matter energy-momentum in standpoint rest frame (three parameters) and displacement of matter location in a compact U(1)O(4)/O(3) spacetime attached to standpoint (four parameters). An initial condition (at big bang) is characterized by a huge dimensionless parameter that breaks dilation invariance. Four major length scales are recognized, called Planck, particle, lab, and Hubble, with separations controlled by ; all physical concepts, including spacetime, depend on wideness of scale separation.

Experimental Test of a Time-Temperature Formulation of the Uncertainty Principle Via Nanoparticle Fluorescence

No Heading The uncertainty in the measured fluorescence decay lifetimes of 30 nm particles of YAG:Cc was used to evaluate the predictions of a novel form of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle suggested by de Sabbata and Sivaram, T t h/k. The worst-case uncertainty in temperature of 4.5 °K (as derived from the relationship between temperature and lifetime) and the measured uncertainty in decay lifetime, 0.45 ns, yielded an internal estimate of T t = 2.0 × 10^–9 °K s, which is 263 times larger than /k = 7.6 × 10^–12 °K s. An external estimate of T t = 4.5 × 10¹¹ °K s (which is = 6 times /k) is derived from the independently measured uncertainty in the temperature of the sample and the experimentally determined uncertainty in lifetime. These results could be low by a factor of 5.6 if signal averaging must be taken into account. If valid, the findings are consistent with the predictions of this version of the uncertainty principle and they imply the existence of a type of thermal quantum limit.

The distribution of ions and their valencies in manganese ferrites I. MnFe2O4+γ ferrites

A model for the distribution of cations in the spinel lattice of manganese ferrites MnFe₂O₄₊ was elaborated on the basis of the experimental studies of the basic magnetic quantities, electrical conductivity and magnetic relaxation of the given ferrites, taking into consideration their crystallographic properties. The conclusions following from this model are in good agreement with the experimental results obtained by us and by other authors both for stoichiometric manganese ferrite and for a ferrite where 0.

Algebraisch spezielle Einstein-Räume mit einer Bewegungsgruppe

In algebraically special Einstein spaces (R_v=0) with a hypersurfaceorthogonal spacelike Killing vector field _v, the trajectories of the multiple eigen null directions k lie — except one case — in the subspacesV ₃ orthogonal to _v (k=0) and are hypersurface-orthogonal. The solutions with vanishing expansion (k_,;=0, Kundt's class) can be determined explicitly.

The local sensitivity of photo-multiplier photo-cathodes

The influence of the non-uniform distribution of the sensitivity of a photo-multiplier photo-cathode on the spectrum shape of the output pulses from a scintillation detector is studied. Methods of scanning the local sensitivity and determining its distribution function are described. The theory was compared qualitatively with measurement on a slow-neutron detector from a mixture of zinc sulphate and boric acid.

Inhomogeneity correlations in dirty superconductors,I

It is shown that fluctuations around the impurity averaged superconducting order parameter can be large due to interplay of disorder and (decoupled) interaction. Correlations () ² exceeding a critical value render superconductors with nonmagnetic impurities gapless. In addition to a mixed phase, 0 andM 0, a superconducting glass phase with =0 andM 0 is derived. In general, correlations () ² emerge from nonperturbative, saddle point solutions of a replicated matrix field theory. Replica symmetry, soft modes, and other order parameters are discussed.This work was supported by the Sonderforschungsbereich 123 of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft

The paper deals with the influence of light,=403 m, on the absorption of single-crystal plates of AgCl, grown by the capillary method. It was found that crystals with blue luminescence show no maximum in the region measured. For crystals with green luminescence a broad absorption maximum was found at – 590 m, which is partly bleached during further irradiation by light from the region of the absorption maximum. Measurements were preformed at room temperature.

A note on the theory of the successive production of moving striations in the plasma of inert gases

Approximate expressions are derived on the basis of Pekárek's theoretical paper [1] for the period of the maximum t_B of a wave packet produced by the passage of a wave of stratification before the aperture of a photomultiplier, and for its time width in the half-height t_B. The relaxation time of a wave of stratification, following from the theory [1], can thus be calculated by means of the experimentally measured velocity of motion of the maximum of a wave packet u and its width t_B. The calculation is supplemented by numerical data on the magnitude of errors committed by using approximate expressions.

     

Exact distribution of cluster size and perimeter for two-dimensional percolation

Exact series expansion data of Sykes et al. are used to calculate the average numberc _n and perimeters _n of clusters of sizen20 in the site percolation problem for the triangular, square, and honeycomb lattice. At the percolation thresholdp _n we find a sharply peaked distribution of perimeterss _n with mean s _n =((1–p _n )/p _c )n+O(n ) and width s _n ² –S _n ²n ^1.6 where1/=0.39. This perimeter s _n should not be interpreted as a cluster surface in the usual sense. Two tests confirm the universality hypothesis with reasonable accuracy. The asymptotic decay of the cluster numbersc _n withn is consistent with the postulated asymmetry aboutp _c : logc _n –n forn with1 forp<p _c and1/2 forp>p _c .

Ferromagnetic resonance in thin cobalt films

The paper gives the results of measuring ferromagnetic resonance on thin cobalt films, vacuum deposited on unheated glass slides. The values of the (g-factor, the width of the curve, the effective stress and uniaxial induced anisotropy were determined as a function of the thickness of the film from measurements of the ferromagnetic absorption in a magnetic field normal and parallel to the surface of the film. Measurements were carried out on a frequency of 9200 MHz and on film thicknesses of 180 to 1800 Å. A qualitative explanation of the observed dependences is given.

Systems with outer constraints. Gupta-Bleuler electromagnetism as an algebraic field theory

Since there are some important systems which have constraints not contained in their field algebras, we develop here in aC*-context the algebraic structures of these. The constraints are defined as a groupG acting as outer automorphisms on the field algebra , :G Aut , _G Inn , and we find that the selection ofG-invariant states on is the same as the selection of states onM(G ) by (U _g)=1gG, whereU _g M (G )/ are the canonical elements implementing _g . These states are taken as the physical states, and this specifies the resulting algebraic structure of the physics inM(G ), and in particular the maximal constraint free physical algebra . A nontriviality condition is given for to exist, and we extend the notion of a crossed product to deal with a situation whereG is not locally compact. This is necessary to deal with the field theoretical aspect of the constraints. Next theC*-algebra of the CCR is employed to define the abstract algebraic structure of Gupta-Bleuler electromagnetism in the present framework. The indefinite inner product representation structure is obtained, and this puts Gupta-Bleuler electromagnetism on a rigorous footing. Finally, as a bonus, we find that the algebraic structures just set up, provide a blueprint for constructive quadratic algebraic field theory.     

General vacuum solution for Brans-Dicke-Bianchi type V

In this paper we have obtained the general vacuum solution for Bianchi type V in the Brans-Dicke theory. It is shown that for the special case=0, the sourceless scalar field is dynamically an essential factor which determines the cosmological expansion parametersR _i and the singularity does not occur whent=0. For this solution there is no antigravity (>0), which disagrees with other solutionsa for BDT-Bianchi type V     

On the Effect of Increasing the Radiative-Transition Rate Near a Nanosize Point

A short review of theoretical and experimental studies concerning the photoexcited florescence and Raman scattering of light for a substance in a space containing small material bodies is presented. Calculations of the radiativetransition probability for atoms (molecules) in the vicinity of bodies with a size much smaller than the light wavelength are performed. The probabilities of the singlephoton and doublephoton transitions are shown to increase by factors of 9 and 81 in the vicinity of a nanosize sphere with dielectric constant ||\ 1. The probability of a radiative transition in the vicinity of the vertex of a conic needle bearing up against a plane (both with || 1) increases by factors of (/R _in)² and (/R _in)⁴ for singlephoton and doublephoton transitions, respectively (R _in is the curvature radius for the needle vertex). This theoretical result is suggested as an explanation of the effect of increasing the radiation process intensity in the experiments carried out in the studies cited below.     

A contribution to the domain structure of iron whiskers

The paper contains an interpretation of the domain patterns found on iron whiskers. An explanation of the closure structure at the end of a whisker grown in the [111] direction is given on the basis of a quantitative analysis. Structures, which form on whiskers strained by axial pressure and bending, are also dealt with. The results are in good agreement with experiment.
