Calculation of the dispersion of the third-order optical nonlinearity in C60 films

Using wave functions determined from ground-state local-density calculations, we have calculated the wave-dispersed free response of the optical nonlinear polarizability ⁽³⁾(–3;,,), for the C₆₀ molecule and ⁽³⁾(–3;,,) i.e. Third-Harmonic Generation (THG) for films using a sum-over-states approach. The influence of screening was determined by applying an external static electric field in separate selfconsistent calculations to evaluate induced dipole moments which was used to determine the static linear and nonlinear polarizabilities. The polarizabilities calculated in the static limit were used to determine an effective screening parameter which was, in turn, used together with an RPA approach to calculate screened wave-dispersed, third-order nonlinear optical properties such as ⁽³⁾(–3;,,) and ⁽³⁾(–3;,,). Comparing evaluated polarizabilities with experimental values we found that the non-resonant free polarizability compares well in absolute magnitude with experimental results. Inclusion of screening results in a polarizability about two orders of magnitude below the experimental values.Paper presented at the 129th WE-Heraeus-Seminar on Surface Studies by Nonlinear Laser Spectroscopies, Kassel, Germany, May 30 to June 1, 1994     

Dynamic structure factor in a random diffusion model

Let {X _t:0} denote random walk in the random waiting time model, i.e., simple random walk with jump ratew ^–1(X _t), where {w(x):x^d} is an i.i.d. random field. We show that (under some mild conditions) theintermediate scattering function F(q,t)=E ₀ (q^d) is completely monotonic int (E ₀ denotes double expectation w.r.t. walk and field). We also show that thedynamic structure factor S(q, w)=2 ₀ cos(t)F(q, t) exists for 0 and is strictly positive. Ind=1, 2 it diverges as 1/||^1/2, resp. –ln(||), in the limit 0; ind3 its limit value is strictly larger than expected from hydrodynamics. This and further results support the conclusion that the hydrodynamic region is limited to smallq and small such that ||D |q|², whereD is the diffusion constant.

Some Remarks on a Nongeometrical Interpretation of Gravity and the Flatness Problem

In a nongeometrical interpretation of gravity,the metric g(x) = + (x)is interpreted as an effective metric, whereas(x) is interpreted as afundamental gravitational field, propagated in spacetime which isactually flat. Some advantages and disadvantages of suchan interpretation are discussed. The main advantage isa natural resolution of the flatness problem.     

Tunable UV radiation at short wavelengths (188–240 nm) generated by sum-frequency mixing in lithium borate

Sum-frequency mixing (₃=₁+₂) of UV laser radiation (₁=266 nm and 213 nm) and tunable coherent infrared light (₂=1.2–2.6 m) in lithium borate (LBO) generates radiation at short wavelengths (₃=188–242 nm). The UV radiation at ₁ is produced by the fourth and fifth harmonic of a pulsed Nd-YAG laser. The infrared light is generated with an optical parametric oscillator of beta barium borate. The phase-matching angle is measured as function of ₃ and compared with calculated values. For UV laser radiation at shorter wavelengths (173 nm₁213 nm) the calculations predict an extension of the tuning range of the sum-frequency generated at ₃ to wavelengths as short as the LBO transmission cutoff at 160 nm.     

The room-temperature decomposition of metastable phases precipitated in the Al-Zn alloys at 200 °C

The room-temperature decomposition of metastable phases in the Al-Zn alloys (from 25 to 50 wt. % Zn) was studied by the transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Metastable phases, i.e. G.-P. zones, _R-and -phases, were grown at 200 °C and their decomposition into equilibrium -phase at 20 °C was investigated. Ageing times comprised 1 to 999 days.Both the decomposition mechanism and the rate of decomposition of coherent phases were found to be dependent on the particle sizes and their density reached at 200 °C. The local vacancy supersaturation around the -nucleus in a dense system of G.-P. zones leads to an enhanced growth rate of such nucleus and thus to the formation of one large -precipitate at the expense of several neighbouring G.-P. zones. The elastic stress field around this -particle promotes the further nucleation and growth of -precipitates and leads to their gradual spread throughout the matrix. The decomposition of intermediately sized _Rprecipitates results in the development of -precipitates of comparable sizes nucleated on the array of misfit dislocations at the periphery of _R-precipitates. The cooperative effect between neighbouring particles does not influence the decomposition of large _R-precipitated which split then into several smaller -particles. The rate of G.-P. zones or _R to -decomposition increases with the increasing sizes of transition precipitates and with the zinc content of the alloy. The kinetics of to -decomposition was found to be independent both on the annealing time at 200 °C and on the investigated alloy composition. This can be attributed to the constant density of misfit dislocations as nucleation sites for -precipitates along the -matrix interface and to the large mutual separation of -precipitates in all these alloys.In conclusion we would like to express our thanks to Doc. Dr. V.Syneek, CSc. for his valuable discussions and to Ing. V.íma for the preparation of Al-Zn alloys. Our thanks are also due to Mr. Z.iký for his help in the X-ray diffraction measurement and to P.Vyhlídka for the careful chemical analyses of the investigated alloys.

Homogeneous and hypersurface-homogeneous shear-free perfect fluids in general relativity

Shear-free, general-relativistic perfect fluids are investigated in the case where they are either homogeneous or hypersurface-homogeneous (and, in particular, spatially homogeneous). It is assumed that the energy density and the presurep of the fluid are related by a barotropic equation of statep = p(), where +p 0. Under such circumstances, it follows that either the fluid's volume expansion rate or the fluid's vorticity (i.e., rotation) must vanish. In the homogeneous case, this leads to only two possibilities: either = = 0 (the Einstein static solution), or 0, = 0 (the Gödel solution). In the hypersurface-homogeneous case, the situation is more complicated: either = 0, 0 (as exemplified,inter alia, by the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models), or 0, = 0 (which pertains, for example, in general stationary cylindrically symmetric fluids with rigid rotation, or = = 0 (as occurs for static spherically symmetric solutions). Each possibility is further subdivided in an invariant way, and related to the studies of other authors, thereby unifying and extending these earlier works.     

On surface layers on BaTiO3 single crystals

The possibility of explaining the existence of a surface layer on BaTiO₃ crystals by the presence of Schottky defects in the crystal is investigated. The magnitude of the potential difference between the surface and the interior of the crystal and the thickness of the surface layer, which at temperatures of over 400°C agrees with the measured values, are calculated for the cubic phase from a simplified ionic model.

Ultrasound in spin glasses

The change of the sound velocity v(,T) and the damping of sound waves (,T) in spin glasses are calculated in the frame-work of an Ising model with a random distribution of exchange interactions. The calculation is based on linearized equations of motion for the spins and on an improved mean field approximation which includes the Onsager reaction field. Near to the freezing temperatureT _f and at high temperatures v(,T) and (,T) turn out to be approximately proportional to the real and the imaginary parts of the dynamical susceptibility. For the special case of infinite range interactions atT=T _f one has v(, T_f) ( )^1/2 and (, T_f) (/)^1/2 where is the relaxation time of independent spins. However, already slightly aboveT _f the frequency dependence of both quantities becomes rather small for RKKY spin glasses. At high temperatures both, v(,T) and (,T) vary asT ^–1.SFB 125 Aachen-Jülich-Köln

Zur Temperaturabhängigkeit einiger Kenngrössen der Verfestigungskurven von Zinkeinkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es werden Ergebnisse beschrieben über die Temperaturabhängigkeit: der kritischen Schubspannung ₀, des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , im BereichA der Verfestigungskurve; des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _B im BereichB, der Längea _A des BereichsA und der Schubspannung _A am Ende des BereichsA. Die kritische Schubspannung wächst im Temperaturbereich 225–344°K linear mit abnehmender Temperatur. Der Temperaturverlauf des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , stimmt überein mit älteren Messungen an h.k.p. Metallen. Ähnlich verhält sich der Verfestigungskoeffizient _B . Die Schubspannung am Ende des BereichsA wird durch thermisch aktivierte Vorgänge beeinflußt. Der BereichA verkürzt sich im Temperaturbereich 0–85°C linear mit zunehmender Temperatur. Temperaturwechselversuche zeigen, daß im BereichB thermisch irreversible Änderungen in der Versetzungsstruktur auftreten.

Dynamics of vector spin glasses: The Gabay-Toulouse line

The dynamics of ann-component vector spin glass with infinite range interactions are investigated near and above the Gabay-Toulouse (GT) line. The local transverse susceptibility _T for 0 varies along the whole GT lineT _c1 (H) as ^v , with a field and temperature independent critical exponentv=1/2. The longitudinal susceptibility _L () remains analytic for all (T, H)T _c1 (H), except for a cross-over fromv=1 tov=1/2 forH0 at the freezing temperatureT=T _f . The dynamic susceptibilities _T () and _L () are already coupled above the GT line via self-energy terms. BelowT _c1 (H), this coupling is strongly enhanced by other mechanisms.     

Method of moments in analysis of x-ray diffraction lines

A general relation between the moments of the functionsf,g, andh, in the integral equationh(x)=f(y)g(x–y) dy, is derived. This enables any moment of the unknown functionf to be calculated from the moments of the functionsg andh. In particular, if certain assumptions are fulfilled, the moments of the components of the doublet can be calculated with advantage from the moments of the total profile. The statistical significance of the moment characteristics is also emphasized.

An attempt at a phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a polarizing field on piezoelectric resonators

The change in frequency of quartz piezoelectric resonators in a d-c electric polarizing field cannot be explained merely by a change in the dimensions of the resonator due to the polarizing field caused by the inverse piezoelectric effect and electrostriction. We are forced to admit that the elastic constants also change in a polarizing field. A phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a d-c electric polarizing field on the frequency of quartz resonators is proposed here, based on newly introduced quantities characterizing such a change. In conclusion it is shown in what way the quantities, on which the phenomenological theory is based, can be determined experimentally.

Periodic Thermodynamics

This paper develops the thermodynamics of quantum Floquet systems, i.e., quantum systems driven by an arbitrarily strong periodic perturbation, which are in weak interaction with a heat bath. The physics differs in an essential way from that of undriven systems, because the usual energy conservation law, for interactions between the system and heat bath, is changed to +E=0, ±, ±2,... where is the driving frequency, is the difference of the so-called quasi-energies of the Floquet states and E the excitation energy of the bath. That is, a transition between two given physical Floquet states will be accompanied by bath transitions with many different energy changes, E=–+m, where m is an arbitrary integer. This results in a breakdown of detailed balance. There is a steady state in which the system has periodic fluctuations of period T=2/. The steady state density matrix is diagonal in the Floquet states, with all Floquet states having finite weights, even at zero temperature. Experimentally favorable conditions for studying periodic thermodynamics are briefly discussed.     

The influence of plastic deformation on the magnetostriction constant of nickel

The magnetostriction constant of nickel was measured as a function of plastic deformation up to an elongation of 30%. The values of the magnetostriction constant in deformed samples deviate considerably, a fact which cannot be explained by errors of measurement. The absolute value of the magnetostriction constant decreases with increasing plastic deformation (by around 5%).
