Bunching phenomena during electron injection into the betatron II. Theory of starting conditions

A theory of the azimuthal bunching of electrons injected into the betatron is presented and compared with the experiments described in [1]. The bunching is treated as a small perturbation of the stationary beam.The stationary injected beam is replaced by the corresponding equilibrium beam of the same perveance so that the angular velocity spread of the injected electrons is proportional to the square root of the injection perveance.Self-consistent wave solutions for the perturbation of the stationary solution are then found. Equations giving the amplification of small density or energy disturbances along the beam are derived. These disturbances are assumed to be introduced by density or velocity modulation of the injected beam. The condition for the spontaneous occurrence of bunching is deduced by assuming that the disturbances do not vanish even when there is no modulation of the injected beam. The resulting expressions for the threshold perveance and the rise-time of the disturbance are in reasonably good agreement with the experiments. Such agreement may be considered as further verification of the statement made in [1] that the amplification of the disturbances is caused by the negative mass instability mechanism.

The use of the repulsive potential in the quantum theory of solids

A new method is proposed for calculating the energy in certain special points of the Brillouin zone. The wave functions of valence and conduction electrons are given in the form of the linear combination of plane waves and the orthogonality condition of these functions to the wave functions of lower states is replaced by the repulsive potential. The practical application of this very simple method is illustrated on the energy spectrum of silicon in the centre of the Brillouin zone. It is proved that the results are comparable with some other methods, e. g. the orthogonalized plane-wave method.

A note on the theory of the successive production of moving striations in the plasma of inert gases

Approximate expressions are derived on the basis of Pekárek's theoretical paper [1] for the period of the maximum t_B of a wave packet produced by the passage of a wave of stratification before the aperture of a photomultiplier, and for its time width in the half-height t_B. The relaxation time of a wave of stratification, following from the theory [1], can thus be calculated by means of the experimentally measured velocity of motion of the maximum of a wave packet u and its width t_B. The calculation is supplemented by numerical data on the magnitude of errors committed by using approximate expressions.

     

The energy of periodic surface structures in ferromagnetism

The periodic domain structures on unfavourably oriented surface layers of ferromagnetic materials were studied both experimentally and theoretically. The connection between the surface structure and the crystallographic orientation of the crystals was confirmed. All the terms contributing to the total energy of the surface layer were calculated. A general solution of the potential problem is given for arbitrary periodic distribution of the charges.

A Rigorous Derivation of a Linear Kinetic Equation of Fokker–Planck Type in the Limit of Grazing Collisions

We rigorously derive a linear kinetic equation of Fokker–Planck type for a 2-D Lorentz gas in which the obstacles are randomly distributed. Each obstacle of the Lorentz gas generates a potential V( ), where V is a smooth radially symmetric function with compact support, and >0. The density of obstacles diverges as ^– , where >0. We prove that when 0< <1/8 and =2+1, the probability density of a test particle converges as 0 to a solution of our kinetic equation.     

An upper bound on the free energy for classical systems with Coulomb interactions in a varying external field

The thermodynamic limit is taken using a sequence of regions all the same shape as a given region of volume ||, with a specified distribution of normal field component on . We show that with magnetostatic interactions the limiting free energy density is bounded above by jhen where (,B) is the free energy density for a system of density in a uniform external fieldB and the inf is taken over all divergence-free fieldsB with given normal component on and all densities (x) compatible with particle number constraints of the form where _i is a sub-region of . A physical argument suggests that this upper bound is the true thermodynamic limit, and that it takes account demagnetization effects. Electrostatic interactions can be treated similarly.     

Rate equations in the hopping transport

The usual kinetic equations for the site occupation probabilities in an external field are solved exactly in a simple one-dimensional periodic model with two kinds of atoms using a) free boundary conditions and order of limitsN, 0 needed for a proper treatment of the dc conductivity here b) boundary conditions with metallic contacts and order of limitsN, 0 and c) the same boundary conditions but reversed order of limiting processes 0,N typical of e.g. numerical and percolation treatments. (N and are the number of sites and frequency.) It is demonstrated that though the bulk dc conductivity is the same in all three cases, local bulk properties of the material are strongly dependent on the régime used. The role of the order of all three limiting processes 0,N+ andn+ (N–n+) for local shifts of the chemical potential _n in the dc limit is examined (n is the number of the relevant site calculated from a boundary of the chain). It is shown especially that the rate equation treatment (régime a) on the one hand and numerical or percolation treatments (régime c) on the other hand never yield the same bulk values of _r.     

The room-temperature decomposition of metastable phases precipitated in the Al-Zn alloys at 200 °C

The room-temperature decomposition of metastable phases in the Al-Zn alloys (from 25 to 50 wt. % Zn) was studied by the transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Metastable phases, i.e. G.-P. zones, _R-and -phases, were grown at 200 °C and their decomposition into equilibrium -phase at 20 °C was investigated. Ageing times comprised 1 to 999 days.Both the decomposition mechanism and the rate of decomposition of coherent phases were found to be dependent on the particle sizes and their density reached at 200 °C. The local vacancy supersaturation around the -nucleus in a dense system of G.-P. zones leads to an enhanced growth rate of such nucleus and thus to the formation of one large -precipitate at the expense of several neighbouring G.-P. zones. The elastic stress field around this -particle promotes the further nucleation and growth of -precipitates and leads to their gradual spread throughout the matrix. The decomposition of intermediately sized _Rprecipitates results in the development of -precipitates of comparable sizes nucleated on the array of misfit dislocations at the periphery of _R-precipitates. The cooperative effect between neighbouring particles does not influence the decomposition of large _R-precipitated which split then into several smaller -particles. The rate of G.-P. zones or _R to -decomposition increases with the increasing sizes of transition precipitates and with the zinc content of the alloy. The kinetics of to -decomposition was found to be independent both on the annealing time at 200 °C and on the investigated alloy composition. This can be attributed to the constant density of misfit dislocations as nucleation sites for -precipitates along the -matrix interface and to the large mutual separation of -precipitates in all these alloys.In conclusion we would like to express our thanks to Doc. Dr. V.Syneek, CSc. for his valuable discussions and to Ing. V.íma for the preparation of Al-Zn alloys. Our thanks are also due to Mr. Z.iký for his help in the X-ray diffraction measurement and to P.Vyhlídka for the careful chemical analyses of the investigated alloys.     

Zero value of the Schwarzschild mass for an asymptotically Euclidian system of gravitational waves

A class of the asymptotically Euclidian space-times is shown to exist for which the Schwarzschild mass is equal to zero. The coordinate atlases of these space-times satisfy two additional conditions: _k (-gg ^0k )=0 and _ik ⁰ _0g ^ik - _ik ^k _0g ⁰ⁱ =0. In aT-orthogonal metricgs ²=g ₀₀ dt ² -g dx dx these conditions take a simple form: ₀(detg )=0 and (₀ g )(₀ g )=0.     

On the relative entropy

ForA any subset of () (the bounded operators on a Hilbert space) containing the unit, and and restrictions of states on () toA, ent _A (|)—the entropy of relative to given the information inA—is defined and given an axiomatic characterisation. It is compared with ent _A ^A (|)—the relative entropy introduced by Umegaki and generalised by various authors—which is defined only forA an algebra. It is proved that ent and ent ^S agree on pairs of normal states on an injective von Neumann algebra. It is also proved that ent always has all the most important properties known for ent ^S : monotonicity, concavity,w* upper semicontinuity, etc.     

Kinetic limits of the HPP cellular automaton

We study the Boltzmann-Grad limit in various versions of the two-dimensional HPP cellular automaton. In the completely deterministic case we prove convergence to an evolution that is not of kinetic type, a well-known phenomenon after Uchyiama's paper on the Broadwell gas, whereas the limiting equation becomes of kinetic type in the model with random collisions. The main part of the paper concerns the case where the collisions are deterministic and the randomness comes from inserting, between any two successive HPP updatings, ^- stirring updatings, <1 being any fixed positive number and a parameter which tends to 0. The initial measure is a product measure with average occupation numbers of the order of (low-density limit) and varying on distances of the order of ^–1. The limit as 0 of the system evolved for times of the order of ^-1- corresponds to the Boltzmann-Grad limit. We prove propagation of chaos and that the renormalized average occupation numbers (i.e., divided by) converge to the solution of the Broadwell equation. Convergence is proven at all times for which the solution of the Broadwell equation is bounded.     

A natural scalar field in the einstein gravitational theory

In a Riemannian space-time, the difference between the third-order tensor potentialH of the Riemann tensor (presented in a precedent paper) and the Lanczos generating function of the Weyl tensor is here shown to be characterized by a vectorV , obtained by contractionH . The significant role of such a vector, in the context of general relativity, is then discussed. Particular attention is paid to the scalar potential which characterizes the irrotational part ofV : such a scalar field satisfies a space-time wave equation of the Poisson type. Weak fields are also considered: in the particular case of a static metric, the scalar is found to be proportional to the classic Newtonian potential.This work was done in the sphere of activity of the C.N.R. Groups for mathematical research.     

Characteristics analysis of metal-clad and absorptive dielectric waveguides by a simple and accurate perturbation method

We present a simple and accurate method for characteristic analysis of metal-clad dielectric waveguides and absorptive waveguides. The real partN of the complex modal indexN=N + iN is obtained by solving the corresponding real eigenvalue equation, and the imaginary partN is given by (n/), where= + i is the complex dielectric constant of the absorptive layer, and N/ is obtained by numerical differentiation. The method is straightforward, and the cumbersome solution of complex transcendental equations is completely eliminated. Results for simple structures are in good agreement with those obtained by exact analysis.     

Current controlled negative resistance phenomenon in SbPbSe system

Thin film Al/Sb₂Pb₁Se₇/Al metal-glass-metal sandwiched structures prepared using thermal evaporation technique have been studied. The I–V measurements showed that the devices switched from high resistance OFF state to a low resistance ON state when a particular voltage appeared across it. The OFF state I–V characteristics showed non-ohmic behaviour while in the ON state the devices displayed purely linear characteristics. The switching voltage (V _th) was found to depend on film thickness and temperature of the device. A linear relation between V_th and temperature was observed.
