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.

     

On the electroluminescence of powdered zinc sulphide layers

The experimental study of the dependence of the electroluminescence brightness on the voltage confirms the correctness of the mechanism of electroluminescence, based on impact ionization in parts of the crystal where the electric field is concentrated. A study of the photoluminescent and electroluminescent spectra of phosphors containing two activators (copper and an element of rare earth) permits the determination of the magnitude of the volume of the crystal in which electroluminescence occurs. A study of the influence of the stored light sum on the brightness of electroluminescence and a study of the rate of growth of the variable and constant components of electroluminescence point to the fact that the excitation is transferred from the region of field concentration to the whole volume of the crystal.

A note on the Watanabe theory of weak interactions

It is shown that according to the Watanabe theory of weak interactions a resonant scattering of electrons by protons must take place. The resonant energy depends on the massm _B of the intermediate boson. Form _B=2300m _e this energy is about 213 MeV in the centre of the mass system (c. m. s.). The energy width at resonance is 1·4 MeV.

Honeycomb domain structure

A theory is given of a new structure produced when demagnetizing uniaxial single crystals (e.g. magnetoplumbite) in a field normal to thec axis. The experimental results fully support the theory on the assumption that domain structures produced under normal conditions are metastable. Methods are given by which stable structures can be prepared from such metastable ones. On the basis of these results opinions are expressed as to the nucleation of plate and honeycomb structures, produced either by reducing the field from saturation or by cooling below the Curie point.

The complex conductivity of the plasma of a d-c glow discharge in Ne

In paper [1] Fang derived an expression for the complex conductivity of plasma assuming that the distribution function of the electrons is Maxwellian and the collision frequency is directly proportional to their velocity. Since the assumptions are approximately satisfied in the positive column of a d-c glow discharge in Ne, the applicability of Fang's relation is investigated for this case.

Optical and magneto-optical effects in semi-conductor crystals

The complicated line structure of the fundamental absorption edge and the effect of magneto-optical oscillations (which are general properties of crystals) open up good possibilities for the study of band structure and exciton states.From a survey of the facts observed lately it follows that the real existence of the exciton is almost certain although no experiment has yet been performed, which would provide direct experimental proof of its motion in the crystal. The evidence of the motion of excitons in the crystal can be determined from effects based on spatial dispersion effects. The observed optical anisotropy of absorption in a Cu₂O cubic crystal (due to spatial dispersion) and the quadrupole character of the exciton linen=1 confirm the motion of exciton through the crystal.The fine structure of the spectral curve for photoconductivity (an effect that is also common to all crystals), which is directly connected with the exciton absorption structure, also testifies to the motion of excitons.The exciton structure of the absorption edge and also the connected effect of edge emission enable the band structure and its splitting to be studied.The determination of the splitting of the exciton lines and edge of continuous absorption under the influence of oriented elastic deformation and the study of the state of polarization of the split components provides a new method for the study of band structure.The study of the Zeeman effect for lines of exciton, absorption in crystals can supply data on the exciton motion and on the complicated band structure in crystals. Special detailed data on the band structure can be obtained from studies in polarized light. From the effect of magneto-optical oscillations we can decide with great exactness the band width of the forbidden zone and obtain data which are in good agreement with those obtained by other methods.

Quantum Observables,Lie Algebra Homology and TQFT

Let us consider a Lie (super)algebra G spanned by T where T are quantum observables in BV formalism. It is proved that for every tensor c^... that determines a homology class of the Lie algebra G the expression c^...T...T is again a quantum observable. This theorem is used to construct quantum observables in the BV sigma model. We apply this construction to explain Kontsevich's results about the relation between homology of the Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields and topological invariants of manifolds.

The influence of compression on the absorption of AgBr single crystals

The influence of compression on the edge of self absorption of AgBr single crystals was studied. The measurements were performed at a temperature of –180°C. The shift of the edge of self absorption was studied both in the field of elastic and plastic deformations. The shift of the absorption edge towards the UV end of the spectrum was determined in the field of elastic deformations and towards the i.r. end in the field of plastic deformations. After the ending of the deformation and after unloading the crystal the return of the absorption edge towards the original position was observed.

Multiple scattering in random media I. Restricted two-body additive approximation

We present a microscopic theory of the problem of finding the properties of a particle interacting with potentials located at random sites. The sites are governed by a general probability distribution. The starting point is the multiple scattering equations for the amplitude k ₁|T |k ₂ in terms of the individual scattering amplitudes k ₁|T |k ₂. We work with quantitiesA defined by k ₁|T |k ₂=k ₁|T |k ₂exp[i(k ₁–k ₂)R ]. The theory is based on a splitting of the fundamental equation forA into equations for the mean A and the fluctuationsAA . Neglect of the fluctuations yields the quasicrystalline approximation. We rearrange the equation forAA to isolate the collective part of the fluctuations. We then make the simplest microscopic truncation which is thatAA is a restricted two-body additive function of the site positions. With the contribution of the collective fluctuations, this yields results forA that are accurate to ordert ⁴.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Contract No. NSF DMRWork supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Contract No. NSF DMR

The influence of a strong high-frequency field on the stratification of the positive column of a D-C glow discharge

An experimental study is made of the damping of moving striations in a d-c glow discharge by a strong high-frequency field. The results of measurement are in agreement with existing conceptions on the production and mechanism of propagation of moving striations. Apart from the process of damping the paper also describes the standing stratification of the positive column of a d-c discharge as a result of a superposed high-frequency discharge.

Spectral superbroadening of self-focused picosecond laser pulses in D2O

Intense picosecond light pulses of a mode-locked Nd: glass laser at _L =1054 nm (fundamental wavelength) and _SH =527 nm (second harmonic wavelength) are passed through a sample of D₂O under self-focusing conditions. Spectrally structured superbroadened, spatially bell-shaped emission in the forward direction is obtained. Primary generation processes are pump-pulse-degenerate stimulated parametric four-photon interaction (₁ + _{1 3} + ₄) and stimulated Raman scattering (_{1 R} + ), which occur concurrently (₁= _L or _SH angular pump frequency, #x03C9; _R first Stokes frequency, #x03C9; signal frequency, #x03C9;₃ signal frequency, #x03C9;₄ idler frequency). The parametric four-photon interaction occurs under collinear non-phase-matched conditions and under longitudinally phase-matched, transversally non-phase-matched (erenkov-like) conditions. Subsequent interaction processes are pump-pulse-nondegenerate four-photon interaction of the type ₁ + _{R 3} + ₄, coherent antiStokes Raman scattering (CARS, ₁ + ₁ – _{4 3}), inverse Raman scattering ( _A + ₁ + ), and cascading light up-conversion of the type ₁ + _(i) – _{R (i+1)}.     

Correlations and spectra of an intermittent chaos near its onset point

A one-parameter family of piecewise-linear discontinuous maps, which bifurcates from a periodic state of periodm, (m=2, 3,...) to an intermittent chaos, is studied as a new model for the onset of turbulence via intermittency. The onset of chaos of this model is due to the excitation of an infinite number of unstable periodic orbits and hence differs from Pomeau-Manneville's mechanism, which is a collapse of a pair of stable and unstable periodic orbits. The invariant density, the time-correlation function, and the power spectrum are analytically calculated for an infinite sequence of values of the bifurcation parameter which accumulate to the onset point _c from the chaos side - _c > 0. The power spectrum near=0 is found to consist of a large number of Lorentzian lines with two dominant peaks. The highest peak lies around frequency=2/m with the power-law envelope l/¦-(2/m)¦⁴. The second-highest peak lies around o = 0 with the envelope l/¦¦². The width of each line decreases as, and the separation between lines decreases as/lg3^–1. It is also shown that the Liapunov exponent takes the form-/m and the mean lifetime of the periodic state in the intermittent chaos is given bym ^–1(ln ^–1+1).     

The crystal structure of copper dipyridine dibromide Cu(C5H5N)2Br2

The X-ray structural analysis of copper dipyridine dibromide was carried out. The substance is monoclinic, its space group isP2₁/n, having the lattice constantsa=8.30 kXU,b=17.72 kXU,c=4.04 kXU,=96°,Z=2. The localization of the heavy atoms was carried out by means of the projections of the Patterson functionsP(u, v) andP(v, w), which provided the bases for determining the signs of the majority of structure factors. The projections of the electron density(x, y) and(y, z) were calculated on the basis of these data. The positions of the atoms were refined three times by methods of differential syntheses and by geometrical analysis. The structure of CuPy₂Br₂ is very close to that of CuPy₂Cl₂ [1], [2], differing from it primarily in the orientation of the symmetry elements with respect to the crystallographic axes. In both structures the copper atom is octahedrally coordinated with four halogen and two nitrogen atoms. The nitrogen atoms and two bromine atoms are bound to the copper covalently in the structure of the bromine derivative, as follows from the length of the bonds (Cu-N 1.99 kXU, Cu-Br, 2.46 kXU), while the remaining two bromine atoms are bound to the copper by weaker bonds and mediate the chain formation of molecules in the direction of thec axis.

The semi-conducting properties of CdSnAs2

The paper gives the results of measuring the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity(T), the Hall coefficientR _H (T) and the magnetic susceptibility(T) forn-type CdSnAs₂. The effective mass of the electrons was determined by analysis of the measured dependences on the basis of the simple theory for an isotropic non-degenerate semi-conductor. It was found to bem _n /m ₀=2×10^–2 in the intrinsic region and does not depend on the temperature; the energy gap ise _g ⁰=0·26 eV and the molar susceptibility of the CdSnAs₂ lattice _G ^mol=–112× ×10^–6. The mobility of the electrons in the intrinsic region reaches a value of _n =25 000 cm²V^–1sec^–1 at 500°K and decreases exponentially _n T ^–1.67 with rising temperature. The density of CdSnAs₂ was determined pyknometrically,g9=5·35 g cm^–3. The measurements were made on ann-type polycrystalline sample consisting of crystals a few millimetres in diameter, which at a temperature of 100°K had a free electron concentration ofn _s =6×10¹⁶ cm^–3.

The influence of oscillations on ionization in a discharge path

The paper solves the problem of gas ionization in a discharge path in a very dilute gas, where the free path of the electrons is much larger than the dimensions of the path and the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes is of the order of the period of the applied h-f voltage. It was found that for a certain ratio of the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes in the discharge path to the period of the h-f oscillation, resonance occurs when the wattless current component is zero. The electron density rises in the path and thus also the gas ionization.

A solvable model exhibiting a glass-like transition

A nonlinear equation of motion of an overdamped oscillator exhibiting a glass-like transition at a critical coupling constant _c is presented and solved exactly. Below _c , in the fluid phase, the oscillator coordinatex(t) decays to zero, while above _c , in the amorphous phase, it decays to a nonzero infinite time limit. Near _c the motion is slowed down by a nonlinear feedback mechanism andx(t) decays exponentially to its long time limit with a relaxation time diverging as (1 – / _c )^–3/2 and (/ _c –1)^–1 for < _c and > _c respectively. At _c x(t) exhibits a power law decay proportional tot ^– with exponent -1/2.
