Novel perturbation expansion for the Langevin equation

We discuss the randomly driven systemdx/dt= -W(x) +f(t), wheref(t) is a Gaussian random function or stirring force withf(t)f(t)=2(t–t), andW(x) is of the formgx ¹⁺². The parameter is a measure of the nonlinearity of the equation. We show how to obtain the correlation functionsx(t)f(t)···x(t( n)) _f as a power series in. We obtain three terms in the expansion and show how to use Padé approximants to analytically continue the answer in the variable. By using scaling relations, we show how to get a uniform approximation to the equal-time correlation functions valid for allg and.     

Synthesis of peptidomimetics using a polymer-bound Boc-linker

Boc-resin-bound -hydroxy--amino-aldehydes are accessible starting from N-terminally bound amino acidesters by using Dondoni's C₁-homologationreaction sequence. The conversion of these synthons totwo different peptide mimetics – 2-hydroxy-1,3-ethyl-diamines and -hydroxy--amino-vinyl sulfones – hasbeen investigated. The successful transfer of thecomplex -amino acid homologation reactionsequence into solid-phase chemistry demonstrates thepotentials of the Boc-resin for synthesis of peptidomimetics.     

A Rigorous Derivation of a Linear Kinetic Equation of Fokker–Planck Type in the Limit of Grazing Collisions

We rigorously derive a linear kinetic equation of Fokker–Planck type for a 2-D Lorentz gas in which the obstacles are randomly distributed. Each obstacle of the Lorentz gas generates a potential V( ), where V is a smooth radially symmetric function with compact support, and >0. The density of obstacles diverges as ^– , where >0. We prove that when 0< <1/8 and =2+1, the probability density of a test particle converges as 0 to a solution of our kinetic equation.     

On the efficiency of small-angle Čerenkov second harmonic generation in optical waveguides

It is well known that in the non-depleted pump approximation, the efficiency of a second harmonic generation (SHG) of a guided mode in a non-linear optical waveguide increases quadratically with the interaction length (P ₂ L ²), and linearly (P ₂ L) in the erenkov regime. The efficiency of the erenkov SHG in the waveguide with a non-linear substrate and linear guiding layer is known to be strongly peaked at a particular pump wavelength and a particular waveguide thickness, with the erenkov angle approaching zero. The known theory predicts an infinite efficiency value at the peak, however. In this contribution, a simple integral expression for the SHG efficiency in the erenkov regime is derived. For large erenkov angles and interaction lengths it yields the expected P ₂ L dependence, while in the limit of small erenkov angles the dependence is found to have the form of P L ^3/2, possessing also a finite value at the efficiency peak. The condition determining the accurate position of the efficiency peak in the waveguide thickness–pump wavelength plane is given, too.     

Derivations commuting with abelian gauge actions on lattice systems

Let be an action of a compact abelian groupG on aC*-algebraA, and assume that the fixed-point subalgebraA is an AF-algebra. We show that if is a closed *-derivation onA commuting with , and the restriction of toA generates a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms, then itself is a generator. In particular, the result applies if is an infinite product action ofG on a UHF algebra. Furthermore, if in this situation ₁ and ₂ are two derivations both satisfying the hypotheses on , and ₁ and ₂ have the same restriction toA , then there exists a one-parameter subgroup of the action with generator ₀ such thatD(₁)D(₂)D(₀) is a joint core for the three derivations, and ₂=₁+₀ on this core.     

Investigation of Rust Formed on Steel Surfaces and Related Oxyhydroxides

In order to indentity the corrosion products formed on steel surfaces from ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, detailed Mössbauer parameters have been determined for various kinds of iron-oxyhydroxides: -FeOOH, -FeOOH, -FeOOH and -FeOOH. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer measurements of the iron oxyhydroxides indicate the following results. Fe occupies a single site in -FeOOH, but below the Néel temperature as at e.g., 300 K the Mössbauer spectrum is always broad, showing a distribution of the strength of the magnetic exchange interactions. Its shape depends on the grain-size and synthetic methods of the specimen. Fe occupies 3 sites in -FeOOH. High-purity reagents of -FeOOH always contain small amounts of -FeOOH and their Néel temperatures depend on the synthetic methods of the specimen. Mössbauer spectroscopy of the synthetic -FeOOH shows very broad distribution of the hyperfine magnetic fields.     

Second-harmonic generation at periodic second-order susceptibility gratings with self-phase and cross-phase modulation

Quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation at periodic quadratic susceptibility gratings with self-phase and cross-phase modulation owing to Kerr nonlinearities is investigated. A model of interaction of monochromatic plane travelling waves is considered. The solution assumes a nondepleted pump and results for a numerical computation of second-harmonic conversion efficiency for a highly efficient process are presented. It is shown that for high spatial-frequency gratings the efficiency of second-harmonic generation depends on the reduced detuning and the Kerr-nonlinearity coefficient only. In some cases, if the signs of and are opposite, the Kerr nonlinearity can enhance the second-harmonic conversion efficiency due to the compensation of the phase mismatch attained in the below-half-conversion stage by the reversed phase mismatch in the above-half-conversion stage of the process. The computed maximum conversion efficiencies for various values of and are plotted in a contour map on the - plane.     

Theory of transition radiation in randomly inhomogeneous medium

A theory of the radiation emitted by a charged particle moving in a randomly inhomogeneous correlated medium is constructed. It is shown that the radiation is isotropic and unpolarized. The frequency dependence of the radiation intensity is investigated and a peak is predicted in the wavelength region of e₂a (where e₂ is the dielectricconstant fluctuation and a is the correlation radius of the random field).Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, Academy of Sciences of Armenia.

A GaAs–InGaAs optoelectronic switch with multiple operation states

An optoelectronic switch with both n- and p-type delta-doped (-doped) quantum wells was investigated. The -doped structures formed potential wells for the carrier accumulation and potential barriers for the carrier injection. Being possessed of -doped sheets with different doping levels, the potential barriers were sequentially collapsed to produce a double negative-differential-resistance (NDR) phenomenon in the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the device, due to the carrier accumulation in the potential wells. The device also showed an optical function related to the barrier heights controllable by incident light.

This result generalizes that of Duval and Ovsienko.

Ermüdungserscheinungen der infrarotbestrahlten Silber-Cäsium-Photokathoden

Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden die Erscheinungen der normalen und anomalen, durch Infrarotstrahlung verursachten und von uns schon früher an diesen Photokatoden beobachteten Ermüdung von Silber-Cäsium-Photokathoden untersucht. Diese Erscheinungen wurden an durchsichtigen sowie undurchsichtigen, durch verschiedene Technologien zubereiteten Photokathoden festgestellt. Es wurden Messungen der Strahlungsintensitäts-, Temperatur- und Spektralverteilungsabhängigkeit der normalen und anomalen Ermüdung durchgeführt. Es werden die Ursachen der Unübereinstimmigkeit im Vergleich mit Arbeiten von De Boer und Teves besprochen. Ferner wurden die Zeitverläufe der Ermüdung bei der Abwechslung der Bestrahlungs- und Dunkelzyklen studiert.

Band-gap structure of the spectrum of periodic Maxwell operators

We investigate the band-gap structure of some second-order differential operators associated with the propagation of waves in periodic two-component media. Particularly, the operator associated with the Maxwell equations with position-dependent dielectric constant (x),xR ³, is considered. The medium is assumed to consist of two components: the background, where (x) = _b , and the embedded component composed of periodically positioned disjoint cubes, where (x) = _a . We show that the spectrum of the relevant operator has gaps provided some reasonable conditions are imposed on the parameters of the medium. Particularly, we show that one can open up at least one gap in the spectrum at any preassigned point provided that the size of cubesL, the distancel=L betwen them, and the contrast = _b / _a are chosen in such a way thatL ^–2, and quantities ^-1-3/2 and ² are small enough. If these conditions are satisfied, the spectrum is located in a vicinity of widthw(^3/2)^-1 of the set {² L ^-2 k ²:kZ³}. This means, in particular, that any finite number of gaps between the elements of this discrete set can be opened simultaneously, and the corresponding bands of the spectrum can be made arbitrarily narrow. The method developed shows that if the embedded component consists of periodically positioned balls or other domains which cannot pack the space without overlapping, one should expect pseudogaps rather than real gaps in the spectrum.

A theory of 1/f noise

Letu() be an absolutely integrable function and define the random process where thet _i are Poisson arrivals and thes _i, are identically distributed nonnegative random variables. Under routine independence assumptions, one may then calculate a formula for the spectrum ofn(t), S _n(), in terms of the probability density ofs, p_s(). If any probability density p_s() having the property p_s() I for small is substituted into this formula, the calculated S_n() is such that S_n() 1 for small . However, this is not a spectrum of a well-defined random process; here, it is termed alimit spectrum. If a probability density having the property p_s() for small , where > 0, is substituted into the formula instead, a spectrum is calculated which is indeed the spectrum of a well-defined random process. Also, if the latter p_s is suitably close to the former p_s, then the spectrum in the second case approximates, to an arbitrary, degree of accuracy, the limit spectrum. It is shown how one may thereby have 1/f noise with low-frequency turnover, and also strict 1/f ^1– noise (the latter spectrum being integrable for > 0). Suitable examples are given. Actually, u() may be itself a random process, and the theory is developed on this basis.     

Pseudopotential calculation of the energy of vacancy formation in binary alloys as a function of the degree of far order

Pseudopotential theory is used to study the dependence of energy of vacancy formation E_IV ^f in binary replacement alloys as a function of the degree of far order is shown that E _IV ^f =E_o+E·]², where E_o is the energy of vacancy formation in a disordered alloy, E then contains the ordering energy. It is shown with examples of the alloys CuZn, AuZn, and AgCd that the energy of vacancy formation can decrease with increase in the degree of far order. It is found that in calculating the vacancy formation energy it is necessary to consider lattice relaxation energy, since such consideration can lead to a change in the sign of E.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 62–67, June, 1984.

The damping of particle oscillations in a general field with periodic structure I

A liner theory is derived, discussing the dynamics of particles in the region of an equilibrium orbit in a general electromagnetic field, which forms a periodic system. The total particle damping is determined from the Hamiltonian found and from dissipative forces brought out by a classical reaction radiation. Relations for the damping of the synchrotron oscillations are derived from the study of the appropriate phase space.
