Scalar gluonium candidates and the radiativeJ/ψ decays

We discuss productions of scalar gluonium candidates in the radiativeJ/ decays. The branching ratios of such productions are estimated on the basis of the Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian for gluon-photon couplings. We mention that these estimates cannot be expected to be accurate to better than within a factor 2. We show that the radiativeJ/ decays probably invalidate gluoniumgg interpretation of the GAMS meson F₀(1590) and a narrow 0⁺⁺ stateS lying below 1 GeV. However, a possible wide scalar effective gluonium candidate(920) is shown not to be excluded by the data on the decayJ/. We also find that the experimental data about radiativeJ/ decays presumably agree with a recently suggested interpretation of F₀(1590) as being approximately a half-and-half mixture of pure 0⁺⁺ gluoniumgg andSU(3)_f singlet quarkoniumq¯q states.     

Influence of the phase coherence length on ballistic transport

The characteristic length scales for the transport in disordered metals are discussed. Based on a phenomenological model of phase randomising scattering processes, the influence of the phase coherence length on the conductance of ballistic systems is studied. It is argued that the frequency dependence of the conductance of quasi-one dimensional systems can be used in order to determine not only the statistical average but the whole distribution function of the phase coherence length. Various cases of distributions, the -function, the exponential, and the Gamma distribution, are discussed. It is shown that due to quantum coherence effects deviations from the classical (Drude) behavior of the conductance exist. For independent scattering processes the probability distribution function is given by the Poisson distribution function. In this case an expression for the conductance can be derived which contains the ballistic transport, and the result for the exponential distribution.     

Quantitative characterization of chaotic instabilities in semiconductors

A method for quantitative characterization of chaotic dynamical systems is discussed. An electronic instrument for determining the number of independent variablesk ^*, involved in the motion, is described. It allows one to obtain these in real time from a single observable. The suggested technique has been applied to quantification of strange attractors underlying chaotic instabilities in semi-insulating GaAsCr, and n-Ge, irradiated with high energy electrons. In n-Ge, for instance, the measured numbersk ^* range from 2 to 4 depending on control parameters. These measurements reveal the highly deterministic nature of the observed chaotic oscillations. The physical mechanisms responsible for the current instabilities and chaotic behaviour are discussed.     

Transition metal complexes with Girard reagent-based ligands

The ligand, salicylaldehyde Girard-T hydrazonium chloride, [H₂SalGT]Cl (1), and two complexes [Cu(HSalGT)X₂]·H₂O (X = Br(2); Cl(3)) were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the two isostructural complexes, the Cu(II) is located in a square-pyramidal environment, with the chelating ligand and one halogen atom in the basal plane and the second halogen in the apical position. The most apparent structural difference between the 1 and its complexes 2 and 3 is the orientation of the N(CH₃)₃ group: in 1, it is practically coplanar to the rest of the molecule, while in 2 and 3 it is oriented to the side of the axially bonded halogen, which can be explained by the C–H…X intramolecular interactions. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and electronic absorption spectra.
