Determination of equilibrium composition of C x H y O z N t plasmas out of thermodynamic equilibrium

In this paper, we determine the composition of C_xH_yO_zN_t plasmas out of thermodynamic equilibrium using a more rigorous thermodynamic derivation of the Saha equation modified to two-temperature plasma system proposed by Chen et al. The calculation is made for these plasmas in pressure range 0.1-1 MPa and for electron temperature range 5 000-30 000 K. A great attention is given to the evolution of the major species such as hydrogen components (H, H₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and electrons. We compared the results obtained with our previous experimental and theoretical studies; the latter one has been carried out in equilibrium situation. We also compared our results with those given by the method based on the minimization of the Gibbs free energy widely used in the literature.

Excitation and relative differential oscillator strengths for trifluoromethyl sulphur pentafluoride, SF5CF3, in the UV–VUV region by electron energy loss spectroscopy

Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been used to study the photo-absorption spectrum of trifluoromethyl sulphur pentafluoride (SF₅CF₃) for the first time. Comparison is made with the EELS spectrum of sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆). The photolysis of the compound is discussed with relevance to estimated lifetimes in the atmosphere. It is estimated that the lifetime of SF₅CF₃ is of the order of 1000 years.     

Statistical Entropy of a Lattice-Gas Model: Multiparticle Correlation Expansion

A formula expressing the statistical entropy of a lattice-gas model as a multiparticle correlation expansion is derived in the grand-canonical and in the canonical ensembles. The differences from the analogous expansion in the continuum case are elucidated. The Ising model in one dimension is discussed as a case study.     

A Conversation with Franco Rasetti

Along with Enrico Fermi, Franco Rasetti played a key role in the rebirth of Italian physics in the 1920s and 1930s. In this interview he talks about his experiments at Caltech on the Raman effect in 1928–1929, mountain climbing, his passion for bugs, fossils, and flowers, and doing physics in Florence, Rome, Berlin-Dahlem, and Quebec. Rasetti also reminisces about the Rome school of mathematics and other scientists he has known and worked with in Europe and in North America, including Robert and Glenn Millikan, Lise Meitner, and O. M. Corbino.

Preparation of a two-state mixture of ultracold fermionic atoms with balanced population subject to the unstable magnetic field

We report a novel method to prepare a mixture of ~(40)K Fermi gas having an equal population of the two ground magnetic spin states confined in an optical dipole trap, in the presence of an noisy quantization(magnetic) field. We realize the equal population mixture by applying a series of RF pulses. We observe the dependence of the population distribution between two spin states on the number of the applied RF pulses and find that the decoherence effects leading to the population fluctuations are overcome by the high number of RF pules. Our demonstrated technique can be potentially used in the precision measurement experiments with ultracold gases in noisy environments.     

Thermodynamic coefficients of ideal Fermi gas

We present analytical formulae for the first and second derivatives of the Helmholtz free energy of non-relativistic ideal Fermi gas. Important thermodynamic quantities such as heat capacity, sound velocity, heat capacity ratio, and others are explicitly expressed through the derivatives. We demonstrate correct ideal Boltzmann gas and low-temperature Fermi gas asymptotes and derive corrections to thermodynamic functions for these limiting cases. Numerical computations of thermodynamic properties of ideal Fermi gas can be accurately performed using the developed freely available Python module ifg .     

Theoretical infrared line shapes of H‐bonds within the strong anharmonic coupling theory and Fermi resonances effects

In this article, we extend a previous work toward presenting a theoretical study of the effects of Fermi resonances and the fundamental anharmonic coupling parameter α between the high‐frequency mode and the H‐bond bridge. The model incorporates (i) both intrinsic anharmonicities of the fast mode (double well potential) and the H‐bond Bridge (Morse potential), (ii) strong anharmonic coupling theory, (iii) Fermi resonances by the aid of an anharmonic coupling between the fast mode and one or several harmonic bending modes, (iv) quadratic modulation of both the angular frequency and the equilibrium position of the X? …Y stretching mode on the intermonomer ? H… motions, and (v) the quantum direct (fast and bending modes) and indirect dampings (slow mode). The IR spectral density is obtained by Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of the transition dipole moment operator of the X? H bond. The numerical calculation shows that Fermi resonances generate very complicated profiles with multisubstructure and also provide a direct evidence of Fermi resonances which were predicted to be a major feature of H‐bonds. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
