Cooperative plasticity due to the motion of disorientation and phase separation boundaries

Conclusions As has already been noted above, the theory of planar defects organically includes the mechanics of twinning, grain boundaries, Somigliani dislocations, translational dislocations, disclination, and dispiration. The fundamental propositions of the theory and methods of giving the tensor T are listed in Table 4. The mathematical formalism remains the same throughout, and it is applicable to both discrete objects (it is then necessary to conserve the -function apparatus), and to a continuous (then appropriate smoothing is needed, which usually reduces to replacement of the multiplication procedure by the normal n or by the direction , to operations of finding the gradient, divergence, and curl of regular expressions, and discarding the -functional), In particular, the problem of thermoelasticity is formulated successfully by such a method in the terminology of the present theory.In a broad sence of the word, the development of the theory should be perceived as an extension of the concept of imperfection to defects of sufficiently arbitrary origin. A completely developed formalism was worked out earlier for just linear defects; in the symbols used here, for the case b=b₀ + X (r – r₀) for constant b₀,, and r₀, and without taking account of processes on the boundary S if the linear defect contained such a feature. Let us emphasize that to describe three-dimensional defects occurring because of homogeneous distortion = (V)., it is sufficient to use the apparatus of just the theory of planar defects since the fundamental phenomena are associated with precisely the presence of boundaries and in a formal plane, with the spatial derivatives of , they are always expressed in terms of the functional (S), while in the case of finite surface gradients in terms of (L). The time derivatives of the distortion T, i.e., is written down in the developed representations in terms of the form with all the resulting consequences.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 83–102, June, 1981.     

Time evolution automorphisms in generalized mean-field theories

A general class of time evolutions ^Q of infinite quantum systems is rigorously defined. It generalizes thermodynamic limits of polynomial mean-field evolution of quantum spin lattices, the simplest case of which is the strong coupling version of the quasi spin B.C.S.-model of superconductivity. A distinguished feature of the considered type of time evolution is the ^Q -non-invariance of the usually consideredC ^*-algebraA of quasilocal observables of the infinite system. A largerC ^*-algebraC containingA as a subalgebra is introduced in such a way that ^Q has a natural extension to a one parameter group^*-automorphisms ofC. The algebraC contains a commutative subalgebra of classical observables (consisting of the intensive observables of the large quantal system determined by a Lie groupG action(G) ^*-autA) denoted byN which is ^Q invariant and the restriction of ^Q toN reproduces the classical Hamiltonian flow ^Q corresponding to the chosen classical Hamiltonian functionQ on the classical phase space of the intensive observables. The evolution ^Q is determined uniquely by the classical Hamiltonian functionQ as well as by the action(G). Continuity properties of ^Q are considered and reviewed.Presented at the International Conference Selected Topics in Quantum Field Theory and Mathematical Physics, Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, June 23–27, 1986.     

On Percolation with Fibers or Layers

We consider site percolation on Z ^d, directed edges going from any sZ ^d to s+A ₁,..., s+A _n, where A ₁,..., A _n are the same for all sites and at least two of them are noncollinear. A site is closed if it belongs to p+Block, where p is a point in a Poisson distribution in R ^dZ ^d with a density and Block={sL: |s|M}+{sR ^d: |s|}, where L is a linear subspace of R ^d, |·| is the Euclidean norm, =max(|A ₁|,..., |A _n|) and M is a parameter. We study the behavior of *, the critical value, and P _closed*, corresponding critical percentage of closed sites, when M. Denote R ^d/L the factor space. Call two nonzero vectors U, V codirected if U=kV, where k>0. Theorem. If there are A _i and A _j whose projections to R ^d/L are not codirected, then *1/M ^dim(L) and P _closed* remains separated both from 0 and 1 when M. If projections of all A ₁,..., A _n to R ^d/L are codirected, then *1/M ^dim(L)+1 and P _closed*1/M when M.     

The quasilinear theory of two-stream cyclotron instability of electron beams

The paper is devoted to a study of cyclotron instability ( _e) of two opposite beams of electrons from the aspect of the quasilinear effects. For this case of instability the authors evolve the diffusion equation in the velocity space for an averaged distribution function. They estimate the relaxation times , _z of the spreading of the distribution function in the velocity space. At the end of the paper, they compare their results with an experiment described by M. Seidl and P. unka [Phys. Letters11 (1964), 31].     

Linking numbers of closed manifolds at random in ℝ n,inductances and contacts

We give here new results of topology and integral geometry concerning the Gauss linking number I of closed manifolds inn-dimensional space. The rigid manifolds have arbitrary shapes and dimensions, and are statistically at random positions in ⁿ . Generalizing Pohl's work, for two closed manifoldsC ₁ ^r ,C ₂ ^s , of respective dimensionsr ands, with 0rn–1, andr+s+1=n, we consider the kinematic linking integralI=<I ²(x,O)d ⁿ x>, of the square linking number I ofC ₁ ^r andC ₂ ^s , over the group of Euclidean motions of one manifold (translationsx, rotationsO). Introducing a new tensorial method, and using group theory, we show quite generally thatI=num. fact. , where is a length variable and whereA , (=1, 2) are characteristic functions associated with the manifoldC only. We study functionsA and of a manifoldC ^r , of dimensionr, in all cases 0rn–1.A always exists.A(0) givesC's area, whereas equals the interior volume of a hypersurfaceC. is found to exist and not to vanish only if 2 dimC+1=n andn=3+4q=3, 7, 11 ...A and are explicitly calculated for segments andr-spheresS ^r . As an application the topological excluded volume of a gas of nonlinked spheresS ^r moving in ^2r+1 is calculated. We generalize toN manifoldsC , =1, ...,N, linked successively to each other and forming a ring. The cyclic product of their linking numbers is integrated over the group of motions of the manifolds. It is shown to factorize completely in Fourier space, with special algebraic rules, over the set of 2N characteristic functionsA , , associated with theC 's. The same algebra of characteristic functions is shown to describe a larger class of topology and electromagnetism properties: a new theorem is given for a family of Euclidean group integrals involving the random linking numbers, mutual inductances and contact distributions ofN manifolds.     

Analytic study of power spectra of the tent maps near band-splitting transitions

Successive band-splitting transitions occur in the one-dimensional map x_i+1=g(x_i),i=0, 1, 2,... withg(x)=x, (0 x 1/2) –x +, (1/2 <x 1) as the parameter is changed from 2 to 1. The transition point fromN (=2ⁿ) bands to 2Nbands is given by=(2)^1/N (n=0, 1,2,...). The time-correlation function _i=x_ix₀/(x₀)²,x_i x_i–x_i is studied in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the map. It is shown that, near the transition point=2, _i–[(10–42)/17] _i,0-[(102-8)/51]_i,1 + [(7 + 42)/17](–1)ⁱe^–yi, where2(–2) is the damping constant and vanishes at=2, representing the critical slowing-down. This critical phenomenon is in strong contrast to the topologically invariant quantities, such as the Lyapunov exponent, which do not exhibit any anomaly at=2. The asymptotic expression for _i has been obtained by deriving an analytic form of _i for a sequence of which accumulates to 2 from the above. Near the transition point=(2)^1/N, the damping constant of _i fori N is given by _N=2(^N-2)/N. Numerical calculation is also carried out for arbitrary a and is shown to be consistent with the analytic results.     

Thes-f model with Coulomb repulsion: Thermodynamics of two atomic cluster. Spin 1/2

A cluster of two atoms described by thes-f model with Coulomb repulsion has been considered. The interaction between localized 4f electrons (S=1/2) is taken in the molecular field approximation. The thermodynamic quantities like magnetization, specific heat and correlation functions n , n , S ^z n , S ^z n , S ^z (n –n ), n n and S ⁺ a ⁺ a as functions of temperature are presented for different band fillingN=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2. The dependence of Curie temperature onN is calculated. The phase diagram forN=1 (T=0K) shows the possibility of existence of two phases: paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.The Curie temperature and the specific heat as functions ofN exhibit similar trends as found in experiments on doped magnetic semiconductors.     

Wave propagation in quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma in a magnetic field

A cold electron gas fills the lowest Landau level for high enough magnetic fields and for low enough densities. Such a situation is expected to occur for the Malmberg-O'Neil experiment and also for pulsar crusts and atmospheres. Such plasmas behave as a quasi-one-dimensional system and exhibit some peculiarities in their wave structure. We study the dispersion and damping of the low frequencies, i.e., the whistler mode, and the extraordinary mode for zero temperature. The behavior of the whistler mode depends critically on the filling number _Fc=_F/ , where _F is the Fermi energy and is the cyclotron frequency. The one-dimensional character of the system affects the pair excitation spectrum and thus the decay of modes. We find that, in contrast to the three-dimensional situation, the plasma mode and the extraordinary mode remain undamped, while the whistler mode is undamped for all but very highk values.     

Muon lifetimes and weak interaction coupling constants

Improvements in determining muon lifetimes that are possible with the pulsed muon beam at the ISIS accelerator complex near Oxford, UK, are examined. The requirements of the standard model do not require an improvement in (µ⁺)[G_µ], which is fortunate as the low repetition rate of ISIS make such difficult. However, for stopping µ^± in liquid hydrogen the differences [(µ⁺) –(µ^–, observing decay e^–)] and [(µ^–, e^–) – (µ^–, observing capture n)] can be well improved to give the induced pseudo-scalar coupling constant,g _P, to ±2% and hence the first test of the chiral structure of the nucleon.On leave from Department of Physics, William & Mary, VA, USA.     

On the equivalence of different order parameters for Ising ferromagnets

In a recent note Barber showed, for a spin-1/2 Ising system with ferromagnetic pair interactions, that some critical exponents of the triplet order parameter _{i j k} are the same as those of the magnetization _i . Here we prove such results for all odd correlations and dispense with the requirement of pair interactions. We also prove that the critical temperatureT _c , defined as the temperature below which there is a spontaneous magnetization, is for fixed even spin interactionsJ _e independent of the way in which the odd interactionsJ _o approach zero from above. This is achieved by using only the simplest, Griffiths-Kelley-Sherman (GKS), inequalities, which apply to the most general many-spin, ferromagnetic interactions.Research supported in part by NSF Grant #MPS 75-20638.     

On the determination of the position of the energy level of surface recombination centres

A detailed analysis of the dependence of the surface recombination velocitys on the surface potential _s leads to the conclusion that the position of the surface recombination level with respect to the centre of the energy gapE _t -E _i does not coincide with the valueq _s *, while the surface recombination velocitys decreases to half its maximum value. The difference between the two quantities is negligible only when the width of the curves( _s ) between the points corresponding to the valuess=1/2s _max is greater than 8kT.

Les absorbants de son resonants

Résumé Dans la présente étude, on trouve un bref résumé des travaux de l'auteur, de ses collègues et collaborateurs, concernant l'utilisation des résonateurs dans l'acoustique architecturale. On explique tout d'abord le problème de l'inpluence des résonateurs sur la durée de la réverbération des salles. Se basant sur des considérations théoriques, l'auteur déduit le critère de l'emplacement le plus favorable des matières absorbant le son dans le résonateur même et discute la possibilité de l'absorption totale du son par le résonateur. Dans le cas des systèmes de résonateurs pareils disposés régulièrement sur les murs, le diapason pouvant être obtenu d'une importante absorption est relativement faible. En se servant de systèmes résonants d'absorption comportant plusieurs couches de résonateurs, reliés en série, le diapason de l'absorption importante peut être notablement élargi. L'auteur explique la corrélation du coefficient d'absorption et de l'angle d'incidence de l'onde sonore. En conclusion, on mentionne des exemples de l'utilisation pratique des résonateurs d'absorption les plus simples pour obtenir la caractéristique de l'absorption de fréquence exigée. On discute aussi le problème de l'influence des vibrations simultanées de la paroi extérieure du système de résonance sur la caractéristique de l'absorption du son.

The peak constrained positive exponential sum method of inverting Laplace transform applied to correlation spectroscopy

As a contribution to the basic problem of correlation spectroscopy, a method has been developed for the Laplace transform inversion with a given number of maxima in the nonnegative inverted function() (i.e. in the distribution function of decay times recalculated as a density function on a logarithmic scale) by the least squares method. The resulting solution consists of the given number of-functions, each of which may be accompanied on one or both sides by one or several histogram bins decreasing away from the-function. When applied to simulated data for quasielastic light scattering (QELS), the method yields good agreement of the calculated distributions with the simulated ones, except that it yields sharp edges to the histogram bins and artefact-functions at the maxima of all the bands. An example shows the method to be a useful tool in interpreting QELS data.     

Photometric and fluorimetric study of the acid-base behavior of 2,2′-diquinolyl and 2,2′,2″-terpyridyl

A photometric and fluorimetric study of the acid-base behavior of 2,2-diquinolyl and 2,2,2-terpyridyl was performed. In sulfuric acid medium, the doubly charged 2,2-diquinolynium ion undergoes the first dissociation atH ₀=0.20±0.09, as determined by fluorimetry (_ex=336 nm, _em=424 nm). Photometric titration is less accurate because of the overlapping of the absorption spectra. The second dissociation constant of 2,2-diquinolyl was determined by fluorimetric titration (_ex=336 nm, _em=420 nm), obtaining a value of 3.67±0.03. The triply charged 2,2,2-terpyridyl molecule was found to undergo the first dissociation atH ₀=–7.17±0.04, as determined by fluorimetric titration (_ex=316 nm, _em=350 nm), in aqueous sulfuric acid medium. Photometric titration (=335 nm) was performed in the presence of 6.5% ethanol because of the low solubility of the compound in water. In this ethanolicwater medium, a value of the dissociation constant atH ₀=–7.39±0.03 was calculated. The second dissociation constant was determined to be 2.81±0.12 by photometric titration at 285 nm, and values of 4.03±0.26 and 4.16±0.20 were found for the third dissociation constant by photometric titrations at 320 and 295 nm, in 10% ethanol, in close agreement with previously reported values. The fluorimetric titration profile obtained by exciting at 274 nm and measuring the fluorescence emission at 350 nm, in the zone betweenH ₀=–3 and pH=10, is complicated by the several equilibria involved.     

Radius of clusters at the percolation threshold: A position space renormalization group study

Using a direct position-space renormalization-group approach we study percolation clusters in the limits , wheres is the number of occupied elements in a cluster. We do this by assigning a fugacityK per cluster element; asK approaches a critical valueK _c , the conjugate variables . All exponents along the path (K–K _c ) 0 are then related to a corresponding exponent along the paths . We calculate the exponent , which describes how the radius of ans-site cluster grows withs at the percolation threshold, in dimensionsd=2, 3. Ind=2 our numerical estimate of =0.52±0.02, obtained from extrapolation and from cell-to-cell transformation procedures, is in agreement with the best known estimates. We combine this result with previous PSRG calculations for the connectedness-length exponent , to make an indirect test of cluster-radius scaling by calculating the scaling function exponent using the relation =/. Our result for is in agreement with direct Monte-Carlo calculations of , and thus supports the cluster-radius scaling assumption. We also calculate ind=3 for both site and bond percolation, using a cell of linear sizeb=2 on the simple-cubic lattice. Although the result of such small-cell calculations are at best only approximate, they nevertheless are consistent with the most recent numerical estimates.Supported in part by grants from ARO and ONR     

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.

The connection between low-gradient form of the positive column in oxygen and moving striations

The method of sliding photomultipliers was used to study the connection between two forms of the positive column in oxygen — the so-called low-gradientT-form and the highgradientH-form — and the presence of moving striations in the positive column. It was shown that in theT-form of a positive column striations are always present which move from the cathode to anode with a velocity of several thousand metres/sec. The highgradient form of theH-positive column, on the other hand, is not striated. The non-single-valuedness of the value of the longitudinal electric field in a discharge in oxygen is thus explained by the presence or absence of phenomena of a time variable character.

Double quantum transitions in paramagnetic resonance

The theory of double quantum transitions of the M=±2 type, with regard to inhomogeneously broadened spin systems is studied in this paper with the approximation ²T₂T₃ 1. We suppose that the inhomogeneous broadening is formed by an inhomogeneous crystal field. The obtained results describe the magnitude of absorption as a function of the h.f. power and also describe the shape of the absorption curve. It is demonstrated that in inhomogeneously broadened spin systems the absorption curve of double quantum transitions has the form of the difference of two different Lorentz's curves and that at the saturation ( ²T₂T₁ 1) the absorption increases with the cube of the h.f. field intensity. The shape of the curves is expressed by means of phenomenological relaxation constants of the system.

What determinates the chemical changes of the internal conversion coefficients for inner atomic shells?

Calculations of internal conversion coefficients (ICC) of the E1–E4 and M1–M4 transitions for nuclei in ions show that the relative changes _i / _i of the ICC _i for deep inner subshells can differ significantly from the relative changes _i/_i of the electron densities _i at the nucleus. For the K conversion _i/ _i are many times greater than _i/_i. Especially large deviations of _i/ _i are characteristic of transitions of high multipolarity; however, for the M1 transitions they can also be significant. Illustrations of various dependencies of _i/ _iare presented for the conversion in the regionZ-50.
