Calculation of energy characteristics of adsorption of metals

Within the framework of the electron density functional, a technique is developed for calculation of the adsorption energy and variation in the electron work function for metal substrates due to metal atom adsorption. The corrections to the local density approximation, which are associated with non-uniformity of the electron density in the subsurface region and discontinuous ion charge distribution over the crystal lattice sites, are included into consideration. It is shown that adsorption of alkali metal atoms results in lower electron work function, while that of transition metals (cobalt, iron, and chromium) might both decrease and increase the electron work function. Formation of a variety of adsorption structures from metal atoms depending on the temperature is discussed. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 14–19, July, 2007.     

Effect on zero drift of accuracy of reciprocal tuning of elements of fiber-optic interferometer

The effect of the accuracy of reciprocal tuning of the elements of a fiber-optic interferometer (FOI) — laser, polarizer, and eigenaxes of single-mode-fiber (SMF) birefringence — is examined. It is shown that zero drift in the FOI consists of two parts — a constant part and a temperature-related variable part. Both of these parts are functions of the polarization state of the radiation at the entrance to the polarizer, the extinction coefficient of the polarized, and the orientation of the SMF eigenaxes with respect to the polarizer. The variable part of the zero drift is also a function of the birefringence and h-parameter of the SMF and the width of the radiation-source spectrum. Numerical estimates of FOI zero drift are made.Institute of Applied Physics, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Rectangularity of hysteresis loop of ferrites as a function of volume of reverse domains in state of remanence

A study is made of the dependence of the coefficient of rectangularity of the hysteresis loop of ferrites of the Li-Mn-Mg and Mg-Mn-Zn system on the volume concentration of residual reverse domains. The latter is calculated from the results of measurements of the relative remanence on the basis of a model developed. It is shown that a high degree of loop rectangularity can be attained not only in the absence of reverse domains but also in the presence of a considerable volume concentration of such domains.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 109–114, June, 1978.     

Statistics of partitions of the kinetic energy of small nanoclusters

In Aquilanti, Lombardi, and Sevryuk, J. Chem. Phys. 2004, V. 121, No. 12, P. 5579 and Sevryuk, Lombardi, and Aquilanti, Phys. Rev. A. 2005, V. 72, No. 3, P. 033201, we defined several partitions of the total kinetic energy of a system of classical particles into terms corresponding to various motion modes. In this work, we study the statistics of these terms for clusters with the number of particles N from 3 to 100 (at randomly selected particle coordinates and velocities). Some new kinetic energy components are defined and studied. Two limiting situations are considered, those of particles of equal masses and particles whose masses vary randomly. With equal masses, the mean values of almost all cluster kinetic energy components are expressed in terms of N with the use of very simple equations.     

Influence of rate of change of frequency on the overall pitch of frequency-modulated tones

The mechanism(s) determining pitch may assign less weight to portions of a sound where the frequency is changing rapidly. The present experiments explored the possible effect of this on the overall pitch of frequency-modulated sounds. Pitch matches were obtained between an adjustable unmodulated sinusoid and a sinusoidal carrier that was frequency modulated using a highly asymmetric function with the form of a repeating U or inverted U shaped function. The amplitude was constant during the 400-ms presentation time of each stimulus, except for 10-ms raised-cosine onset and offset ramps. In experiment 1, the carrier level was 50 dB SPL and the geometric mean of the instantaneous frequency of the modulated carrier, fc, was either 0.5, 1, 2, or 8 kHz. The modulation rate (fm) was 5, 10, or 20 Hz. The overall depth (maximum to minimum) of the FM was 8% of fc. For all carrier frequencies, the matched frequency was shifted away from the mean carrier frequency, downwards for the U shaped function stimuli and upwards for the repeated inverted U shaped function stimuli. The shift was typically slightly greater than 1% of fc, and did not vary markedly with fc. The effect of fm was small, but there was a trend for the shifts to decrease with increasing fm for fc = 0.5 kHz and to increase with increasing fm for fc = 2 kHz. In experiment 2, the carrier level was reduced to 20 dB SL and matches were obtained only for fc = 2 kHz. Shifts in matched frequency of about 1% were still observed, but the trend for the shifts to increase with increasing fm no longer occurred. In experiment 3, matches were obtained for a 4-kHz carrier at 50 dB SPL. Shifts of about 1% again occurred, which did not vary markedly with fm. The shifts in matched frequency observed in all three experiments are not predicted by models based on the amplitude- or intensity-weighted average of instantaneous frequency (EWAIF or IWAIF). The shifts (and the pitch shifts observed earlier for two-tone complexes and for stimuli with simultaneous AM and FM) are consistent with a model based on the assumption that the overall pitch of a frequency-modulated sound is determined from a weighted average of period estimates, with the weight attached to a given estimate being inversely related to the short-term rate of change of period and directly related to a compressive function of the amplitude.     

Simulation of the superlinearity of dose characteristics of thermoluminescence of anion-defective aluminum oxide

The specific features revealed in the superlinearity of dose dependences of thermoluminescence of anion-defective aluminum oxide single crystals have been considered theoretically in terms of the model of an interactive trap system. The model explains the decrease in the degree of superlinearity at a low heating rate, as well as with an increase in the dose increment, the occupancy of deep traps, and the sensitivity of the crystals to radiation due to the increase in the concentration of luminescence centers. The obtained results indicate a widening of the possibilities of the model for interpreting experimental data in the investigation of the dose characteristics of thermoluminescence of the studied crystals.     

Generation of superpositions of coherent states of the motion of a trapped ion

We propose a method for preparing superpositions of coherent states of the motion of an ion in an anisotropic two-dimensional trap, in which the ion is tightly bound in the y direction. In the scheme the ion is excited by two resonant laser beams with equal amplitude, propagating along the x and y directions, respectively. In the Dicke-Lamb limit, an initial coherent state of the ion motion can be converted into a superposition of several coherent states on a circle through the laser-ion interactions and state-selective measurements on the ion.

The effect of hydration of ions of inorganic salts on the shape of the Raman stretching band of water

The shape of the Raman stretching band of water molecules in aqueous solutions of electrolytes KBr, KCl, KI, NaCl, and NaI is studied. It is confirmed that the characteristics of the stretching band strongly depend on the concentration and type of salt. The behavior of different parameters of the band is explained in terms of the theory of hydration of salts.

Equations of the general theory of plasticity of crystals

Equations are formulated for the elastic-plastic strains of crystals experiencing an inelastic flow of crystallographic shears. Local invariant relationships, including creep and active plasticity, are constructed. To take account of the microstresses a method of effective field is used. All the relationships are derived in a tensor formulation with reliance on representations about the physical regularities of the development of deformation. The derived system of equations describes a broad class of problems of the physics and mechanics of plasticity of an almost unbounded degree of complexity.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 73–78, June, 1988.     

Heat of formation of solid solution of alkali halides

Based on a semicontinuum model, the electrostatic, the polarisation, and the repulsive energy change of a lattice is calculated numerically, as a function of the relaxation of the nearest neighbouring ions of a substitutional impurity in an alkali halide crystal. It is found that for a particular displacement, the total energy change of the lattice is a minimum. Thus the heat of formation of a dilute solid solution is obtained. Here, we report calculations on the heat of formation of the following systems-Na⁺ in LiCl, Li⁺ in NaCl, K⁺ in NaCl, Na⁺ in KCl, Rb⁺ in NaCl, Na⁺ in RbCl, F^? in NaCl, Cl^? in NaF. Br^? in NaCl and Cl^? in NaBr.     

Measurement of the index of refraction of single microparticles

The refractive index of single microparticles is derived from precise measurement and rigorous modeling of the stiffness of a laser trap. We demonstrate the method for particles of four different materials with diameters from 1.6 to 5.2 microm and achieve an accuracy of better than 1%. The method greatly contributes as a new characterization technique because it works best under conditions (small particle size, polydispersion) where other methods, such as absorption spectroscopy, start to fail. Particles need not be transferred to a particular fluid, which prevents particle degradation or alteration common in index matching techniques. Our results also show that advanced modeling of laser traps accurately reproduces experimental reality.     

Effective method of representing first derivatives of combined contours of lines in problems of modeling and interpretation of complicated spectra

It is shown that the integral convolution of the first derivatives of Lorentz and Gauss functions can be replaced, with a high degree of accuracy, by their linear combination. Here, a unique transition from approximation to convolution parameters and back is possible. Use of such a linear combination in calculations of line contours allows a gain in the calculation speed by 1–2 orders of magnitude.

Z-dependences of atomic parameters of autoionization states of two-electron systems

On the bais of two programs, calculations are carried out for energies, probabilities of radiative transitions and nonradiative decays, and lifetimes of levels of two-electron systems 2l.4l. The results of the two calculations are compared for a wide range of Z. Possible channels of radiative transitions and nonradiative decays are discussed. Their relative contribution to the total probability is evaluated. This evaluation is compared with data obtained by calculations, on the basis of which a conclusion is made about the contribution of correlation and relativistic effects. The Z-dependences are investigated for each of the parameters under consideration. A comparison is made with the results of other calculations.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 55–72, August, 1990.     

旋转波片偏振仪波片方位误差研究

旋转波片Stokes偏振仪是最常用的测量光束偏振态的仪器。波片快轴方位误差是影响旋转波片Stokes偏振仪的主要误差源之一。为了研究波片方位偏差对测量精度的影响,提出了一种描述波片快轴方位误差向最终的偏振测量误差传递的数学模型,并引入协方差矩阵法表征偏振测量误差。根据这一模型,获得最优的偏振仪配置参数。在推导过程中,假设波片方位误差服从同一高斯分布。基于此误差模型,得到如下结论：(1)由波片方位误差引入的测量误差与光强测量次数N成反比;(2)测量误差独立于入射光强度,但是依赖于入射光偏振态(s₁, s₂, s₃)和波片的位相延迟量δ;(3)波片位相延迟量在(103.22°, 116.13°)范围内时波片方位误差引入的测量误差最小。最后,经过仿真实验证明,所得解析结果与仿真模拟结果相一致。     

Simulation of the contours of spectral lines of closed-ARC radiation

Simulated contours of self-reversed lines of Tl at 535 nm (7²S_1/2−6²P_3/2) and 378 nm (7²S_1/2-6²P_1/2) in alternating-current closed-arc radiation in mercury vapor with an addition of Tll were compared with experimental contours. It is shown that while a single self-reversed contour has many different sets of model parameters that ensure coincidence of experimental and calculated profiles, in the case of operation with a large data file of contours that correspond to different directions of observation along chords perpendicular to the discharge axis, and with different lines that have a common level, such a set of parameters becomes virtually unique. Instantaneous spatial distributions of Hg and Tl atoms in the ground state and of Tl atoms in the 6²P_3/2 state are determined and the parameters of the van der Waals broadening of the 7²S_1/2 level are found. It is shown that a considerable “red” shift of absorption contours in the outer layers of the discharge is observed. The results obtained contradict the presumed existence of local thermodynamic equilibrium in the given discharge.

Role of interactions of triplets of atoms in the formation of elastic properties of cubic crystals

It is widely known that the interaction of triplets of particles (which are not reducible to the sum of pair interactions) play an important role in formation the nonlinear and anisotropic properties of crystals. The aim of this work is to establish a general form of the dependence of these properties on interactions of triplets of atoms that is dependent only on the structure of the crystals. To separate the interactions of triplets of atoms from those of quadruples, we assume that the energy of triplets of interacting atoms depends only on the characteristics of a triangle whose vertices are the centers of gravity of interacting atoms. In this model, the internal energy must therefore be invariant upon rearrangement of the numbers of interacting atoms and any rotation of the triangle in isotropic space, P(3) × O(3). To specify the form of energy dependence on characteristics of selected triangles, we constructed an integral rational basis of invariants in dependence on the components of the vectors connecting the vertices of each triangle. Using the example of a simple dependence of the energy on basic invariants, we show how to move from the assumed energy dependence on invariants to the dependence of energy on lattice sums.

Parameters of the elastodynamic state of dodecaborides of rare-earth metals

The mechanical and thermal properties of the crystal lattice are considered as functions of three Mie-Gruneisen parameters. With the relations derived here a number of parameters of the elastodynamic state can be calculated from two data. This model is shown to be applicable for predicting the elastodynamic properties of metallic compounds on the example of dodecaborides of rare-earth metals.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 89–92, May, 1991.
