Evolution equation of the optical tomogram for arbitrary quantum Hamiltonian and optical tomography of relativistic classical and quantum systems

The dynamic equation for the optical tomogram of nonrelativistic quantum system with an arbitrary Hamiltonian is obtained. The kinetic equation in the classical relativistic kinetics is discussed, and its optical tomography representation is obtained. Dynamic equations for the Wigner functions of relativistic spinless quantum particles in electromagnetic and scalar fields are obtained. Optical tomographic-distribution functions of weakly relativistic spinless quantum particles are introduced, and dynamic equations for these functions in weak electric and scalar fields are obtained.     

声子气的状态方程和声子气运动的守恒方程

根据爱因斯坦的狭义相对论中质能的等效关系，把固体(本文指非导体)晶格(原子)的质量分为晶格(原子)的静质量和晶格热振动能量的等效质量两个部分，后者就是固体中声子气的等效质量.晶格(原子)热振动的能量则分为晶格(原子)静质量具有的热能以及声子气质量具有的热能.基于固体的状态方程，导得了晶格静质量热振动的状态方程和声子气的状态方程.声子气在固体介质中的宏观运动就是热量在固体中的传递过程.建立了声子气运动的守恒方程组，分析表明，忽略惯性力时声子气的动量守恒方程就退化为傅里叶导热定律，阐明了傅里叶导热定律的物理本质是声子气驱动力与阻力的平衡方程.当热流密度很大惯性力不能忽略时，傅里叶导热定律不再适用. 关键词： 非傅里叶导热 声子气 声子气质量 状态方程 守恒方程     

Quasiparticle kinetic equation in geometry of local base vectors

Kinetic equations for quasiparticle excitations in ideal crystals, known from solid state physics, are generalized to the case of material bodies the crystal structure of which is distorted by the existence of continuously distributed defects. Distribution of defects is described by a field of local base vectors of a primitive crystal lattice. The form of conservation laws implied by such kinetic equations is discussed using the example of energy balance in a phonon system. It is shown that energy balance can be written either with respect to lattice connection or with respect to the Euclidean connection, having a vanishing source term in both cases. Transition from one version to another involves a redefinition of the heat flux vector.     

Phonon images of crystals

Using the pair of coupled Boltzmann kinetic equations for 2D electron gas and bulk acoustic phonons we derive the explicit formula for the phonon drag voltage induced by a pulsed phonon beam. A point source producing very short bursts of monoenergetic phonons is considered. The time integrated signal of the phonon drag voltage is calculated numerically for 2D electron gas lying in a {001} plane. For the raster scanned source of phonons the pattern of induced voltage is obtained and compared to the suitable experimental pattern and to the calculated quasimomentum focusing image. For several phonon propagation directions the dependency of induced voltage on the phonon energy is studied and compared with the experimental results. The ratio of the strength of piezo-electric coupling to the deformation potential constant and the localization length of 2D electrons are fitted.     

Thermodynamics of nonstationary and transient effects in a relativistic gas

We show how a system of generalized Fourier and Navier-Stokes equations, containing relaxation terms and couplings between heat flow and viscosity, can be consistently derived from phenomenological thermodynamics and from kinetic theory. The coefficients are given explicitly for a relativistic Boltzmann gas.     

Exact conformally flat solutions of Einstein equations for neutral superfluids

A family of exact conformally flat solutions of Einstein equations (with Λ term) is presented. They correspond to a class of relativistic neutral superfluids. The particular velocity field chosen and the field equations determine the thermodynamical variables of the superfluid and restrict the form of the equation of state. One of the solution provides a geometrical interpretation for merons. In principle, a measurement of the time change of the circulation quantum, would distinguish among the various cosmologies of the Dirac-Canuto type.     

Relativistic kinetic equations for inelastically interacting particles in a gravitational field

The relativistic canonical formalism is used to construct the kinetic equations for a gas in a gravitational field, whose particles interact with one another via numerous inelastic collisions. Boltzmann's H-theorem is proved for T-invariant interactions.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 19–23, August, 1983.     

Uniform shear flow under thermally relativistic limit: Case of zero Lorentz contraction

The uniform shear flow (USF) under the thermally relativistic limit is discussed on the basis of Truesdell’s theory of the USF for the nonrelativistic gas, when the Lorentz contraction is negligible. We investigate the solution of the USF under the thermally relativistic limit using the pseudo Maxwellian molecule. Under the thermally relativistic limit, solutions of seven moment equations for the USF, which are obtained from Grad’s 14 moment equations by Israel–Stewart, violate the positivity of the pressure tensor, when the dimensionless truncation number is larger than the threshold value owing to the contribution of the dynamic pressure, whereas solutions of six moment equations for the USF never violate the positivity of the pressure tensor.     

Normal modes of a relativistic quantum plasma; The one-component plasma

The normal modes of a relativistic electron gas are studied on the basis of the Boltzmann-Vlasov kinetic equation via a projection operator formalism. A general framework is constructed in which the fully relativistic Vlasov self-consistent force term appears as a symmetric operator acting in the Hilbert space of one-particle states. The plasma-dynamical equations are obtained by projecting onto the subspace consisting of the charge, energy and momentum densities, plus the nonconserved current density. The eigenmodes of these equations include two transverse and two longitudinal plasma modes, and one damped heat mode. They are explicitly calculated up to second order in the wave vector and to first order in the collision frequency.     

Kinetic modeling of a slow flow CW CO2 laser

A kinetic model for analysis of the slow-flow CW-discharge CO₂ laser with diffusion cooling has been developed in which the gas temperature is obtained from energy balance equations. The method is based on the numerical solution of a set of nonlinear differential equations for vibrational kinetics. The numerical predictions from the model are compared with some experimental results and a good agreement is obtained.     

Nonlinear Langmuir waves in a relativisitc plasma

Langmuir waves in a relativistic plasma are considered using kinetic equations without consideration of captured particles. The frequency shift found for such waves contains contributions from four-wave interaction, and a contribution produced by the relativistic dependence of electron momentum on velocity.     

Remarks on relativistic thermodynamics

The relativistic transformation equations for the pressure, volume, energy, and momentum of a gas in a closed container are discussed. Considerations are given in support of pressure noninvariance, volume dilatation, and the fact that the energy and momentum of a gas form a four-vector. It is shown that the relativistic transformation formula for temperature resulting from the Lorentz invariance requirement of the equation of state of an ideal gas coincides with the Ott formula.     

Macroscopic dynamics of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of 1D and 2D optical lattices

The hydrodynamic equations of superfluids for a weakly interacting Bose gas are generalized to include the effects of periodic optical potentials produced by stationary laser beams. The new equations are characterized by a renormalized interaction coupling constant and by an effective mass accounting for the inertia of the system along the laser direction. For large laser intensities the effective mass is directly related to the tunneling rate between two consecutive wells. The predictions for the frequencies of the collective modes of a condensate confined by a magnetic harmonic trap are discussed for both 1D and 2D optical lattices and compared with recent experimental data.     

Ideas of relativistic quantum chemistry

The basic ideas of relativistic quantum chemistry are highlighted, with the most important ingredients summarised as follows. (1) The restricted kinetic balance (RKB) condition, being both necessary and sufficient, serves as the cornerstone for the matrix representation of the Dirac-based Hamiltonian. (2) The concept of matrix transformation plays the key role in formulating two-component relativistic theories. Some popular ones, albeit presented as operators, are de facto matrix formulations in terms implicitly of the RKB condition. They merely make simple things complicated as a one-step block-diagonalization of the matrix Dirac equation can do the whole job. (3) The computational efficiency for both four- and two-component relativistic theories can be gained by means of the simple chemical idea of ‘from atoms to molecule’ without recourse to mathematical tricks. The two branches of relativistic theories have thus been made fully equivalent in all the aspects of simplicity, accuracy, and efficiency. It is concluded that the best relativistic electrons-only Hamiltonian has been found, which can be combined with any know-how correlation methods for electronic structure calculations of all the atoms in the Periodic Table. Most amazingly, the new quantum mechanical equation serves as a seamless bridge between the Schrödinger and Dirac equations. In short, the ‘relativity problem’ in chemistry has been solved.     

Nonlocal conserved quantities,balance laws,and equations of motion

A formalism is developed whereby balance laws are directly obtained from nonlocal (integrodifferential) linear second-order equations of motion for systems described by several dependent variables. These laws augment the equations of motion as further useful information about the physical system and, under certain conditions, are shown to reduce to conservation laws. The formalism can be applied to physical systems whose equations of motion may be relativistic and either classical or quantum. It is shown to facilitate obtaining global conservation laws for quantities which include energy and momentum. Applications of the formalism are given for a nonlocal Schrödinger equation and for a system of local relativistic equations of motion describing particles of arbitrary integral spin.
