The lanthanideβ″ aluminas

The entire sodium ion content of sodium alumina (Na_1.67Mg_0.67Al_10.33O₁₇) can be replaced with a variety of lanthanide ions by simple diffusion reactions at moderate temperatures (500–700°C). Lanthanide alumina crystals are hard, clear, chemically stable, and have well-defined crystal structures. The fluorescence spectrum of Nd³⁺ in alumina is similar to that in YAG. The lifetime of the⁴ F _3/2 state of Nd³⁺ in completely-exchanged alumina (350s at 10²¹ Nd³⁺ cm^–3) is about 45% longer than in YAG (240s at 10²⁰Nd³⁺ cm^–3). The lanthanide aluminas may be of considerable interest as new phosphor and laser host materials.     

Internal Lifschitz singularities of disordered finite-difference Schrödinger operators

The integrated density of states has C-like singularities, ln|k(E)–k(E _c )|=–|E–E _c |^–v/2 _c (E), with _c >0, a milder function at the edges of the spectral gaps which appear when the distribution function of the potentiald has a sufficiently large gap. The behaviour of _c nearE _c is determined by the local continuity properties ofd near the relevant edge: _c (E)=O(1) ifd has an atom and =O(ln|E–E _c |) if is (absolutely) continuous and power bounded.     

Quantum shot noise: Expansions in powers of the pulse density

Quantum shot noise consists of individual pulses which contribute time-dependent (operator) potentials toward a total potentialV(t). The averaged quantity T exp _t0 ^t dtV(t) in general can no longer be calculated explicitly, in contrast to the classical case, and expansions are of interest. Noncommutative cumulant expansions are not directly applicable if the correlation functions ofV(t) have singularities, as happens in applications. It is shown here that these expansions, when applied to quantum shot noise, can be partially summed to give expansions in powers of the pulse density. Three types of such expansions are established explicitly, and for two of them the derivation is direct. For one of them the first-order approximation is closely connected to the so-called unified theory of spectral-line broadening.     

Decay of Re186

The decay of Re 186 was investigated with a double focusing spectrometer and scintillation spectrometer. Four transitions were observed with energies of 122·7±0·1 keV, 137·2 keV, 632·2±1·5 keV and 768·2±1·5 keV and the relative-ray intensities 18, 246, 0·9 and 1 respectively. TheK-conversion coefficients determined for low-energy transitions are in good agreement with the theoretical values ( _K ^122·7 =0·53±0·05, _K ^137·2 =0·44±0·02). The relative intensities of theK, L, M andN conversion lines were also determined for these transitions:KL _I +IIL _III M=1·20±0·201·32±0·20 1±0·150·57±0·08 for 122·7 keV transition,KL _I +IIL _III MN=1·57±0·081· 72±0080·70±0·030·20±0·01 for 137·2 keV transition. In the beta spectrum two groups were observed with the end points of 1076±3 keV and 939±3 keV and relative intensities 74±4% and 21±4% respectively. For the branching ofK-capture it was found that 1·5% populates the 122·7 keV level and 3·5% the ground state. The decay scheme from the present results is proposed.The authors would like to thank M.

A four-thirds law for phase randomization of stochastically perturbed oscillators and related phenomena

LetI be a set of invariants and be a set of angle variables for a system of differential equations with anO() vector field. When time dependent stochastic perturbations, also ofO(), are added to the system, we have shown that under suitable conditionsI becomes a stochastic adiabatic invariant satisfying a diffusion equation on time scales of order 1/², in the limit as »0. Here we show that the angle variables converge weakly to a Gaussian Markov process on an O(^-4/3) time scale, and thus the phase becomes randomized at these times. Application to nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems is considered.Supported by NSF grant DMR-8704348     

Natural boundaries for area-preserving twist maps

We consider KAM invariant curves for generalizations of the standard map of the form (x, y)=(x+y, y+f(x)), wheref(x) is an odd trigonometric polynomial. We study numerically their analytic properties by a Padé approximant method applied to the function which conjugates the dynamics to a rotation +. In the complex plane, natural boundaries of different shapes are found. In the complex plane the analyticity region appears to be a strip bounded by a natural boundary, whose width tends linearly to 0 as tends to the critical value.     

The interaction of pions with deuterons

Summary There has been remarkable experimental and theoretical progress in the field ofd interactions in the last few years. Within the uncertainties of the theory the experimental data in thed breakup and thed elastic scattering reaction can be fairly well reproduced. Theoretical problems remain in the absorption channel, but there is a hope that with a few additional measurements of tensor polarization and spin transfer observables in this reaction a partial wave amplitude analysis may localize the theoretical difficulties. In addition it is very important to provide data on the deuteron tensor polarizations and the spin transfer parameters for thed elastic scattering reaction in order to obtain a reliable set of phase shifts, which may reveal resonance structures in this reaction channel.Invited talk to the symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei, Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, May 27–June 1, 1985.     

Renormalization Group Analysis of the Self-Avoiding Paths on the d-Dimensional Sierpiński Gaskets

Notion of the renormalization group dynamical system, the self-avoiding fixed point and the critical trajectory are mathematically defined for the set of self-avoiding walks on the d-dimensional pre-Sierpiski gaskets (n-simplex lattices), such that their existence imply the asymptotic behaviors of the self-avoiding walks, such as the existence of the limit distributions of the scaled path lengths of canonical ensemble, the connectivity constant (exponential growth of path numbers with respect to the length), and the exponent for mean square displacement. We apply the so defined framework to prove these asymptotic behaviors of the restricted self-avoiding walks on the 4-dimensional pre-Sierpiski gasket.     

Spatially Periodic Solutions in Relativistic Isentropic Gas Dynamics

We consider the initial value problem, with periodic initial data, for the Euler equations in relativistic isentropic gas dynamics, for ideal polytropic gases which obey a constitutive equation, relating pressure p and density , p=², with 1, 0<<c, where c is the speed of light. Global existence of periodic entropy solutions for initial data sufficiently close to a constant state follows from a celebrated result of Glimm and Lax (1970). We prove that given any periodic initial data of locally bounded total variation, satisfying the physical restrictions ||v₀||<c, where v is the gas velocity, there exists a globally defined spatially periodic entropy solution for the Cauchy problem, if 1<₀, for some ₀>1, depending on the initial bounds. The solution decays in L_loc¹ to its mean value as t.     

Iron-57 Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of the High Temperature Properties of Metal-Doped Iron Oxides

⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra recorded in situ in vacuo from chromium- and gallium-doped Fe₃O₄ at elevated temperatures show the dopant ions to depress the Curie temperature of Fe₃O₄ by ca. 70 K. Spectra recorded from aluminium-doped -Fe₂O₃ show the onset of conversion to aluminium-doped -Fe₂O₃ to begin at ca. 750 K, which is ca. 100 K above the conversion temperature for undoped -Fe₂O₃. The variation in magnetic hyperfine fields at temperatures exceeding ca. 750 K is similar to that recorded from -Fe₂O₃ when doped with zinc or magnesium. At temperatures exceeding 900 K the zinc doped -Fe₂O₃ partially converts to spinel-related ZnFe₂O₄.

Self-consistent calculation of statics and dynamics of the roughening transition

Statics and dynamics of the modified kinetic discrete Gaussian model are treated selfconsistently using a Gaussian probability assumption. A non-trivial roughening temperatureT _R is found in exactly two dimensions only. The free energyF, the correlation length and the interface roughness h ² are found to behave—lnFlnh ²(T _R –T)^–1 for temperaturesT approachingT _R from below. The linear relaxation rate of the order parameter is found to be proportional to ^–2. As a model for crystal growth, the growth rate depends linearly upon the chemical potential difference aboveT _R , shows a metastable regime belowT _R with a spinodal limit of metastability _c , beyond which oscillatory growth starts. The critical behavior of _c is found to be ln _c –(T _R –T)^–1+O(ln (T _R –T)).

Analytic study of power spectra of the tent maps near band-splitting transitions

Successive band-splitting transitions occur in the one-dimensional map x_i+1=g(x_i),i=0, 1, 2,... withg(x)=x, (0 x 1/2) –x +, (1/2 <x 1) as the parameter is changed from 2 to 1. The transition point fromN (=2ⁿ) bands to 2Nbands is given by=(2)^1/N (n=0, 1,2,...). The time-correlation function _i=x_ix₀/(x₀)²,x_i x_i–x_i is studied in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the map. It is shown that, near the transition point=2, _i–[(10–42)/17] _i,0-[(102-8)/51]_i,1 + [(7 + 42)/17](–1)ⁱe^–yi, where2(–2) is the damping constant and vanishes at=2, representing the critical slowing-down. This critical phenomenon is in strong contrast to the topologically invariant quantities, such as the Lyapunov exponent, which do not exhibit any anomaly at=2. The asymptotic expression for _i has been obtained by deriving an analytic form of _i for a sequence of which accumulates to 2 from the above. Near the transition point=(2)^1/N, the damping constant of _i fori N is given by _N=2(^N-2)/N. Numerical calculation is also carried out for arbitrary a and is shown to be consistent with the analytic results.     

Amplitude-distortion factors for the inelastic scattering of an electron at a neon atom in an electric field

Inelastic electron scattering at a neon atom in the presence of an external electric field is considered. The distortion factors of the cross section _M (F) are calculated for a series of 4d and 5d levels. It is shown that the distortion factor in strong fields is a nonlinear and nonmonotonic function of the field. The distortion factors and transition probabilitiesA , are compared. The correlation between the behavior ofA , and _M (F) is explained by the dependence of the mean dipole moment of the Stark state on the field strength.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 97–110, January, 1996.     

Renormalized transport equations for the bistable potential model

Renormalized transport equations for general Fokker-Planck systems are derived and applied to the bistable potential model. The exact equation for the expectation value x _t can be evaluated in both domains Dx _± and xD ₀ outside and between the potential minima, leading to drastic differences of the dynamics prevailing inD _± andD ₀, respectively.     

Perturbations of flows on Banach spaces and operator algebras

For automorphism groups of operator algebras we show how properties of the difference _t – ' _t are reflected in relations between the generators , . Indeed for a von Neumann algebraM with separable predual we show that if _t – '_t 0.28 for smallt, then = 0(+)°^-1 where is an inner automorphism ofM and is a bounded derivation ofM. If the difference _t – ' _t =O(t) ast ; 0, then = + and if _t – ' _t 0.28 for allt then =. We prove analogous results for unitary groups on a Hilbert space andC ₀,C ₀ ^* groups on a Banach space.This paper subsumes an earlier work of the same title which appeared as a report from Z.I.F. der Universität BielefeldWith partial support of the U.S. National Science Foundation     

More inequalities for critical exponents

A variety of rigorous inequalities for critical exponents is proved. Most notable is the low-temperature Josephson inequalitydv +2 2–. Others are 1 1 +v, 1 1 , 1,d 1 + 1/ (for d),dv, ₃ + (for d), ₄ , and _{2m 2m+2} (form 2). The hypotheses vary; all inequalities are true for the spin-1/2 Ising model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic pair interactions.NSF Predoctoral Fellow (1976–1979).

Internal Lifschitz singularities for one dimensional Schrödinger operators

The integrated density of states of the periodic plus random one-dimensional Schrödinger operator ;f0,q _i ()0, has Lifschitz singularities at the edges of the gaps inSp(H ). We use Dirichlet-Neumann bracketing based on a specifically one-dimensional construction of bracketing operators without eigenvalues in a given gap of the periodic ones.
