Determination of the nuclear parameters of155Gd excited states using the Mössbauer effect

From Mössbauer spectra of GdAlO₃ and GdVO₄ above and below the Néel temperature and fitted using a transmission integral, we have determined the following parameters of the 86.5 keV and 105 keV levels:g(86)/g(0)=+1.217±0.005,Q(86)/Q(0)= +0.10±0.02,g(105)/g(0)=–0.55±0.02,Q(105)/Q(0)=+0.74±0.02, r ²₁₀₅/ r ²₈₆=+1.30±0.05. The linewidth observed for the 105 keV transition is less than the calculated natural linewidth.     

Temperature dependence of the effective work function for the BaO - W system

The temperature dependence of the work function has been examined for the BaO-W system for degrees of coating less than 1 and about 1 in the range 700–1400 °K; it is found that a monomolecular film gives a negative sign of this coefficient in this temperature range ( /T 10^–4 –10^–3 eV/deg). At 1000–1200 °K, the temperature coefficient is almost zero, while at 1200–1400 °K there is a positive value. If the covering is less than monomolecular, the sign is positive throughout the entire temperature range (/T 10^–4 eV/deg).Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, No. 9, pp. 65–70, September, 1971.We are indebted to N.

The low-temperature phase of Kac-Ising models

We analyze the low-temperature phase of ferromagnetic Kax-Ising models in dimensionsd2. We show that if the range of interactions is ^–1, then two disjoint translation-invariant Gibbs states exist if the inverse temperature satisfies –1^N, where =d(1–)/(2d+2)(d+1), for any >0. The proof involves the blocking procedure usual for Kac models and also a contour representation for the resulting long-range (almost) continuous-spin system which is suitable for the use of a variant of the Peierls argument.     

Studium der Stationären und Laufenden Schichtung in der Entladung in Neon Mit Hilfe eines Lokalen Hochfrequenzfeldes

Zusammenfassung Es wurde ein Verfahren zur Erregung von stationären Schichten, der Schichtungswelle und der laufenden Schichten in der Gleichstromentladung ausgearbeitet, das auf der Einwirkung eines Hochfrequenzfeldes auf einen kurzen Abschnitt der positiven Säule beruht. Dieses Verfahren wurde zum Studium aller drei angeführten Schichtungsarten in Neon benützt, insbesondere jedoch zum Studium des Zusammenhanges zwischen den laufenden und den stationären Schichten.Bei stationären Schichten wurden zweifache Strukturen festgestellt und es wurde deren Abhängigkeit vom Entladungsstrom und von der Größe des erregenden Hochfrequenzfeldes verfolgt.Bei der Schichtungswelle wurde die Stelle deren Entstehung ermittelt und es wurde nachgewiesen, daß das Hochfrequenzfeld diese Welle lokal an der Stelle dessen Einwirkung auf die positive Säule hervorruft.Bei den laufenden Schichten wurde deren Resonanzfrequenz in Abhängigkeit vom Entladungsstrom und die Abhängigkeit der Wellenlänge der Schichten von der Frequenz untersucht.Es wurde festgestellt, daß der extrapolierte Wert der Wellenlänge für die Nullfrequenz erheblich niedriger ist als die Länge der stationären Schichten. Weiter wurde eine Übereinstimmung der Frequenz der laufenden Schichten in der Schichtungswelle mit der Resonanzfrequenz der künstlich hervorgerufenen laufenden Schichten festgestellt.

Electronic Structure of Immunoactive Molecules of 8–Azagona–12,17–Dione

Using the semiempirical method of partial neglect of differential overlap (PNDO), we have calculated the wave functions, energies, orbital configurations of electronic states, oscillator strengths of transitions, electronic density distributions, and dipole moments for the molecule of biologically active 8–azagona–12,17–dione, containing a conformationally rigid –acyl––aminovinylcarbonyl fragment. It has been established that as to their orbital nature the excited lower and higher singlet electronic states of this molecule are of the n^*– and ^* type respectively. The results of the theoretical analysis are in good qualitative agreement with the spectral data on absorption and luminescence. The calculations of the intermolecular interaction of the compound under consideration with a medium show that the molecular systems under consideration can possess a dynamic multicenter structure.

Solution of the coupled nonlinear algebraic equations appearing in the fixed-point perturbation theory

The old form of the so called fixed-point perturbation theory is reformulated into a formalism suitable for applications. Its structure is described as parallel to the standard Rayleigh-Schrödinger theory. On a number of examples, its algebraic nonlinearity is demonstrated to be almost trivial, i.e. reducible to a finite number of equations (one or two for a few simplest Padé potentials).Presented at the International Conference Selected Topics in Quantum Field Theory and Mathematical Physics, Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, June 23–27, 1986.

The Debye-Waller factor and the diffusion process for hydrogen in Nb,Ta, and V single crystals investigated by neutron spectroscopy

Quasielastic scattering of slow neutrons on hydrogen diffusing in the-phase of NbH_0.02, TaH_0.13 and VH_0.07 single crystals was investigated in a wide range of temperatures and scattering vectorsQ (0.5Q2.5 Å^–1). The incoherent scattering lawS _d (Q,) for four different diffusion models was consistently compared with the measured lineshapes. At elevated temperatures one had to introduce correlated jumps to describe the experimental data, whereas at room temperature a model with jumps between adjacent sites is sufficient. The integrated quasielastic intensityI(Q) obtained from the fit ofS _d (Q,) with the measured spectra follows an isotropic Debye-Waller factor with mean square amplitudes u ²=0.02–0.04 Ų for H in Ta (20°C–500°C), and u ²=0.03–0.04 Ų for H in Nb (20°C–300°C). For H in V,I(Q) obtained from the analysis of the quasielastic scattering deviates from a normal Debye-Waller factor behaviour. This effect is assumed to be due to the flight process between the interstitial sites. On the other hand, a normal Debye-Waller factor was obtained from theQ-dependence of the inelastic scattering of the band modes, with values of u ²=0.02–0.04 Ų (135°C–500°C). The observed values of u ² were compared with theoretical calculations.     

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.     

Holes in the probability density of strongly colored noise driven systems

A qualitative change in the topology of the joint probability densityP(,x), which occurs for strongly colored noise in multistable systems, has recently been observed first by analog simulation (F. Moss and F. Marchesoni,Phys. Lett. A 131:322 (1988)) and confirmed by matrix continued fraction methods (Th. Leiber and H. Riskin, unpublished), and by analytic theory (P. Hänggi, P. Jung, and F. Marchesoni,J. Stat. Phys., this issue). Systems studied were of the classx=–U(x)/x+(t,), whereU(x) is a multistable potential and (t, ) is a colored, Gaussian noise of intensityD, for which =0, and (t) (s)=(D/)exp(–t–s/). When the noise correlation time is smaller than some critical value ₀, which depends onD, the two-dimensional densityP(,x) has the usual topology [P. Jung and H. Risken,Z. Phys. B 61:367 (1985); F. Moss and P. V. E. McClintock,Z. Phys. B 61:381 (1985)]: a pair of local maxima ofP(,x), which correspond to a pair of adjacent local minima ofU(x), are connected by a single saddle point which lies on thex axis. When >₀, however,the single saddle disappears and is replaced by a pair of off-axis saddles. A depression, or hole, which is bounded by the saddles and the local maxima thus appears. The most probable trajectory connecting the two potential wells therefore does not pass through the origin for >₀, but instead must detour around the local barrier. This observation implies that successful mean-first-passage-time theories of strongly colored noise driven systems must necessarily be two dimensional (Hänggiet al.). We have observed these holes for several potentialsU(x): (1)a soft, bistable potential by analog simulation (Moss and Marchesoni); (2) a periodic potential [Th. Leiber, F. Marchesoni, and H. Risken,Phys. Rev. Lett. 59:1381 (1987)] by matrix continued fractions; (3) the usual hard, bistable potential,U(x)=–ax ²/2+bx ⁴/4, by analog simulations only; and (4) a random potential for which the forcingf(x)=–U(x)/x is an approximate Gaussian with nonzero correlation length, i.e., colored spatiotemporal noise, by analog simulation. There is a critical curve ₀(D) in the versusD plane which divides the two topological behaviors. For a fixed value ofD, this curve is shifted toward larger values of ₀ for progressively weaker barriers between the wells. Therefore, strong barriers favor the observation of this topological transformation at smaller values of . Recently, an analytic expression for the critical curve, valid asymptotically in the small-D limit, has been obtained (Hänggiet al.).This paper will appear in a forthcoming issue of theJournal of Statistical Physics.     

Rate equations in the hopping transport

The usual kinetic equations for the site occupation probabilities in an external field are solved exactly in a simple one-dimensional periodic model with two kinds of atoms using a) free boundary conditions and order of limitsN, 0 needed for a proper treatment of the dc conductivity here b) boundary conditions with metallic contacts and order of limitsN, 0 and c) the same boundary conditions but reversed order of limiting processes 0,N typical of e.g. numerical and percolation treatments. (N and are the number of sites and frequency.) It is demonstrated that though the bulk dc conductivity is the same in all three cases, local bulk properties of the material are strongly dependent on the régime used. The role of the order of all three limiting processes 0,N+ andn+ (N–n+) for local shifts of the chemical potential _n in the dc limit is examined (n is the number of the relevant site calculated from a boundary of the chain). It is shown especially that the rate equation treatment (régime a) on the one hand and numerical or percolation treatments (régime c) on the other hand never yield the same bulk values of _r.     

High-frequency sum-rules for classical relativistic plasmas in a magnetic field

A μSR study of spin density wave condensation in Cr85Mo15

Zero field SR spectra from Cr₈₅Mo₁₅ are well described by the sum of a lightly damped (0.02s^–1<₁<0.2s^–1) and a heavily damped (2s^–1<₂<15s^–1) exponential. The temperature dependence of these components is discussed in relation to the condensation of the incommensurate spin density wave and the onset of the antiferromagnetic state in this Cr-like alloy below T_N=120K. Evidence is presented for the nucleation of the spin density wave at temperatures greater than 1.5T_N.

Light absorption by free semiconductor carriers in the presence of a laser wave

Within the framework of the conditions ; » ^–1 ( ^–1 is the mean time of momentum relaxation), the coefficient of absorption () of a weak electromagnetic wave by the free carriers of a polar semiconductor is calculated in the presence of a strong wave (of frequency ), for arbitrary values of and . Photon absorption by band electrons is due to these latter interacting with optical phonons (of frequency _o). The problem is solved by using an analogous approach to the theory of the linear Kubo reaction. The results are valid in the absence of electron heating, when a strong wave only influences the scattering probability. The appearance of a photostimulated tail of absorption is predicted for < _o, including the jump () for ( – _o + ) ₀T as well as peaks in the function () at the points _s=s (s=1, 2, 3,...). The value (₁) is determined by the formula for the absorption coefficient for one strong wave.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 105–109, July, 1981.The authors are grateful to É.

Statistics of the One-Dimensional Riemann Walk

The Riemann walk is the lattice version of the Lévy flight. For the one-dimensional Riemann walk of Lévy exponent 0<<2 we study the statistics of the support, i.e., set of visited sites, after t steps. We consider a wide class of support related observables M(t), including the number S(t) of visited sites and the number I(t) of sequences of adjacent visited sites. For t we obtain the asymptotic power laws for the averages, variances, and correlations of these observables. Logarithmic correction factors appear for =2/3 and =1. Bulk and surface observables have different power laws for 1<2. Fluctuations are shown to be universal for 2/3 <2. This means that in the limit t the deviations from average M(t)M(t)–M-0304;(t-0304;) are fully described either by a single M independent stochastic process (when 2/3 <1) or by two such processes, one for the bulk and one for the surface observables (when 1<<2).
