Negative normal restitution coefficient found in simulation of nanocluster collisions

The oblique impacts of nanoclusters are studied theoretically and by means of molecular dynamics. In simulations we explore two models--Lennard-Jones clusters and particles with covalently bonded atoms. In contrast with the case of macroscopic bodies, the standard definition of the normal restitution coefficient yields for this coefficient negative values for oblique collisions of nanoclusters. We explain this effect and propose a proper definition of the restitution coefficient which is always positive. We develop a theory of an oblique impact based on a continuum model of particles. A surprisingly good agreement between the macroscopic theory and simulations leads to the conclusion that macroscopic concepts of elasticity, bulk viscosity, and surface tension remain valid for nanoparticles of a few hundred atoms.

Anomalous behavior of the low-temperature nernst-ettingshausen coefficient of semiconductors in strong magnetic fields

We show that the transition to nondegeneracy induced in a semiconductor at very low temperatures by a sufficiently strong magnetic field should give rise to an anomalous behavior of the Nernst-Ettingshausen coefficient.     

Anomalous behaviour of the diffusion coefficient in interacting adsorbates

Langevin simulations provide an effective way to study collective effects of Brownian particles immersed in a two-dimensional periodic potential. In this paper, we concentrate essentially on the behaviour of the tracer (D_Tr) and collective diffusion coefficients (D_C) as function of friction (Γ). Our simulations show that in the high friction limit, the two physical quantities D_Tr and D_C present qualitatively the same behaviour, for both coupled and decoupled substrate potentials. However, for the low friction regime, and especially for the coupled potential case, an anomalous diffusion behaviour is found where D_Tr∼Γ^-σ_Tr and D_C∼Γ^-σ_C, with σ_Tr<σ_C<1. We also found that in the case of weak dynamical coupling between the adparticles and the substrate, the exponents are not universal and rather depend on the potentials. Moreover, changes in the inter-particle potentials may reverse the behaviour to a normal one.

Anomalous behavior of the surface state in ferromagnetic superconductors

The effect of the electromagnetic interaction between the persistent current and the magnetic moments to the surface state in ferromagnetic superconductors is studied theoretically. This interaction causes an oscillatory decay of the penetrated magnetic field near the magnetic phase transition temperature. Below a critical temperature, the spontaneous surface magnetization is stabilized by the magnetic field induced by the surface persistent current.

Anomalous magnetic behavior of CuO nanoparticles

We report studies on temperature, field and time dependence of magnetization on cupric oxide nanoparticles of sizes 9 nm, 13 nm and 16 nm. The nanoparticles show unusual features in comparison to other antiferromagnetic nanoparticle systems. The field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization curves bifurcate well above the Néel temperature and the usual peak in the ZFC magnetization curve is absent. The system does not show any memory effects which is in sharp contrast to the usual behavior shown by other antiferromagnetic nanoparticles. It turns out that the non-equilibrium behavior of CuO nanoparticles is very strange and is neither superparamagnetic nor spin glass like.     

Anomalous high-pressure Jahn-Teller behavior in CuWO4

High-pressure optical-absorption measurements performed in CuWO(4) up to 20 GPa provide experimental evidence of the persistence of the Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion in the whole pressure range both in the low-pressure triclinic and in the high-pressure monoclinic phase. The electron-lattice couplings associated with the e(g)(E?e) and t(2g)(T?e) orbitals of Cu(2+) in CuWO(4) are obtained from correlations between the JT distortion of the CuO(6) octahedron and the associated structure of Cu(2+) d-electronic levels. This distortion and its associated JT energy (E(JT)) decrease upon compression in both phases. However, both the distortion and associated E(JT) increase sharply at the phase-transition pressure (P(PT)=9.9 GPa), and we estimate that the JT distortion persists for a wide pressure range not being suppressed up to 37 GPa. These results shed light on the transition mechanism of multiferroic CuWO(4), suggesting that the pressure-induced structural phase transition is a way to minimize the distortive effects associated with the toughness of the JT distortion.     

Anomalous behavior of the Fermi energy in heavily tin-doped InGaAs

We have measured the dependence of the Fermi energy on carrier concentration in Sn doped InGaAs at 4.2 K and 300 K. At 4.2 K the Fermi energy was measured by photoluminescence spectroscopy, and at 300 K it was deduced from transport measurements of thermionic emission. In both cases the dependence of the Fermi energy on the mobile electron concentration, measured by Hall effect, strongly deviates from standard theoretical predictions, and the deviation increases with concentration. The most striking observed anomaly is the near saturation of the Fermi level when the Hall concentration exceeds 10¹⁹ cm^-3. Received 19 April 2001 and Received in final form 22 July 2001     

Anomalous behavior of textures in a magnetic field

It is shown that a qualitatively new type of transition to a nonlinear phase is possible in two-dimensional two-phase textures in a magnetic field. The anomalous growth of the effective response (higher-order correlation functions of the current) near the critical magnetic field is studied. The dependence of the critical magnetic field on the angles of microinclusions is calculated. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 66, No. 2, 115–119 (25 July 1997)     

Anomalous density of states in hybrid normal metal-superconductor bilayers

In contact with a superconductor, the Andreev reflection of the electrons locally modifies the N metal electronic properties, including the local density of states (LDOS). We investigated the LDOS in superconductor-normal metal (Nb-Au) bilayers using a very low temperature (60 mK) STM on the normal metal side. High resolution tunneling spectra measured on the Au surface show a clear proximity effect with an energy gap of reduced amplitude compared to the bulk Nb gap. The dependence of this mini-gap width with the normal metal thickness is discussed in terms of the Thouless energy. Within the mini-gap, the density of states does not reach zero and shows clear sub-gap features. We compare the experimental spectra with the well-established quasi-classical theory.     

The required sample size in measuring oblique incidence absorption coefficient Experimental study

It is an important issue to clarify the minimum required size of a specimen for the accurate measurement of oblique incidence absorption coefficient. Investigation is made on the basis of experimental studies in a laboratory, using Aoshima's time stretched pulse technique. Measurements are carried out for glass fiber with thickness of 50 and 100 mm as highly absorbing materials and for ceramic with a thickness of 52 mm as relatively low absorbing material. The tested surface areas range from 0.0625 to 42 m² for glass fiber and from 0.1563 to 39.168 m² for ceramics. The absorption coefficients are determined at incidence angles from 0 to 45° in increments of 15°. With consideration of an active surface bounded by ellipse orbit, the minimum required surface area is 16 m² with a ratio of length to width of about 1.25. This value is twice the area size of the active surface, which is calculated from the geometry of source and microphone, and the width of the temporal window.     

Anomalous behavior of the electrical conductivity tensor in strong magnetic fields

The behavior of the electrical conductivity tensor in strong magnetic fields in the presence of unclosed quasiclassical electron trajectories of complex form near the Fermi surface is considered. It is shown that the asymptotic behavior of the conductivity tensor in the limit B→∞ differs in this case from the picture previously described for trajectories of simpler form. The possibility of blocking the longitudinal conductivity in strong magnetic fields at low temperatures in the case of a Fermi surface of special form is also treated theoretically. Zh. éksp. Teor.
