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.     

Reliable evaluation of temperature-independent parameters in correlation of vapour–liquid equilibrium data

A new algorithm/program has been elaborated for simultaneous processing of different sets of vapour–liquid equilibrium data. The program was tested with six binary hexane + isomeric pentanol systems, each of them measured at three different isobaric conditions and one isothermal system of tert-butyl-methyl-ether + 2-methyl-2-propanol measured at three different temperatures. The correlation uses the maximum likelihood method, taking into account real behaviour of vapour phase. The parameters obtained are valid within the whole temperature range of the data, and are consistent in comparison with those obtained from individual correlations of isobars or isotherms. Results are presented for the Wilson and NRTL equations.     

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.
