The electronic structure of Rhodium: Angle-resolved studies of photoelectron and secondary electron emission

We report electron spectroscopic studies of the Rh(111) surface, with the aim to obtain bulk band-structure information. We have measured normal photoemision using tunable synchrotron radiation in the range of photon energies between 11 eV and 55 eV, and angle-dependent photoemission along the LUX and LKL azimuths using the He resonance lines (=21.2 eV, 40.8 eV). To complement these data, we studied angleresolved secondary electron emission after excitation with electrons and photons. We derive parts of the one-electron energy dispersionE(k) along L, and determine the energies of several bulk critical points (in eV):E(> ₇₊/₈₊)=–2.75±0.10,E(> ₈₊=–0.85±0.10,E(> _7–=16.1±0.5,E(> _6–/> _8–)=20.5±0.5,E(X ₇₊)=–5.0±0.1,E(L ₆₊)=–5.6±0.5,E(L ₆₊/L ₄₊₊₅₊)=–2.65±0.10,E(L ₆₊)=9.0±0.5 eV. Our results are compared to several available band structure calculations.     

The energy gaps of fullerene C60 and C70 determined from the temperature dependent microwave conductivity

The dielectric constants of C₆₀ and C₇₀ powders have been measured in the temperature range from 150 K to 900 K using a microwave absorption method. From the temperature dependence of the electrical band gaps are found to be 1.86±0.1 eV for C₆₀ and 1.57±0.1 eV for C₇₀. Our method is not influenced by the possible generation of excitons. The results are discussed and related to theoretical predictions.     

Optical constants of thin germanium films

The paper gives the values of the optical constants of thin films of germanium obtained by evaporating germanium in a vacuum onto glass slides in the region of 0·35–0·78 for an index of absorptionk and 0·35–2·5 for refractive indexn. The results are compared with the values obtained by other authors and with the values ofn andk for single crystals. It is shown that these values for thin films and single crystals slightly differ quantitatively but agree fairly well qualitatively, which had not been sufficiently the case in previous papers.

Change in primary extinction during decomposition of supersaturated solid solution II. Al-Cu 4% alloy-formation of G.P. zones

The change in integrated intensity of the (200) reflections of a solid solution during the formation of G.P. zones was measured and compared with the change in the character of the diffuse streaks corresponding to them. It was found that the. formation of G.P. zones does not lead to a decrease in primary extinction despite the great changes in the distribution of the copper atoms. It was shown that the formation of a precipitate accompanied by the formation of crystallographically incoherent boundaries greatly decreases the primary extinction.

Corrections to cluster-radius scaling for branched polymers and percolation

We report analyses of series enumerations for the mean radius of gyration for isotropic and directed lattice animals and for percolation clusters, in two and three dimensions. We allow for the leading correction to the scaling behaviour and obtain estimates of the leading correction-to-scaling exponent . We find -0.640±0.004 and =0.87±0.07 for isotropic animals in 2d, and =0.64±0.06 in 3d. For directed lattice animals we argue that the leading correction has= or= ; we also estimate =0.82±0.01 and 0.69 ±0.01 ind=2, 3 respectively. For percolation clusters at and abovep _c, we find (p _c) =0.58±0.06 and (p>p _c)=0.84±0.09 in 2d, and (p _c)=0.42±0.11 and (p>p _c)=0.41 ±0.09 in 3d.

Temperature dependence of the young's modulus of the Al-Zn alloys and its influence upon the metastable coherent phase diagram

The paper describes the measurements of the temperature dependence of Young's modulus for several Al-Zn alloys. The moduli were measured by the method of a composite oscillator at resonance frequencies of about 100 kHz. When decreasing the temperature from the state of homogeneous solid solution, the undercooling phenomena cause a hysteresis effect. Young's modulus decreases approximately linearly with increasing atomic fraction of zinc at 390C. The determined temperature and concentration dependence was used for thermodynamic calculation of the form of metastable coherent solubility gaps by which the separation of the solid solution into coherent zones can be described.

On the invariant sets of a family of quadratic maps

The Julia setB for the mappingz (z–)² is considered, where is a complex parameter. For 2 a new upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension is given, and the monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to the equilibrium measure onB are introduced. A method for calculating all of the polynomials is provided, and certain identities which obtain among coefficients of the three-term recurrence relations are given. A unifying theme is the relationship betweenB and -chains ± (± (± ...), which is explored for –1/42 and for with ||1/4, with the aid of the Böttcher equation. ThenB is shown to be a Hölder continuous curve for ||<1/4.Supported by NSF Grant MCS-8104862Supported by NSF Grant MCS-8002731     

On classical models of Spin

We discuss two classical situations that lead to probabilities characteristic for systems with spin-1/2. (a) Pitowsky model: It is demonstrated that the definition of spin functions does not imply which circle (a parallel or a great circle) on the sphere should be taken as a probability space in calculation of conditional probabilities. Pitowsky's choice of parallels must be formulated as an assumption about the model. It is shown that the model explicitly avoiding this difficulty is possible and no contradiction with the Bell Theorem is found. The modification is based on a new pathological decomposition of the sphere and belongs to a class of hidden variable theories with undetected signals. (b) Aerts model: We show the importance of the polarization effect of the measurements for the sake of obtaining a non-Kolmogorovian probability model. It is also shown that the conditioning by a change of state leads in general to the non-Kolmogorovian probability calculus.2. For example, let _{Cw,z xCw,z}µ_c ({y C _w,z S ₊|(x,y) /2})=µ _c(C _w,z S ₊)= 1/2µ _c(C _w,z). Pitowsky spheres with white points distributed onC _w,z in this way exist. The proof is exactly analogous to this of Theorem 1 in [1]. Then (**) = 1 -/, if one takesC _w,z as the probability space. This example seems very instructive.3. If the chargeq falls down on some point then it clearly has not fallen down on another one. Having given a result of a measurement we cannot, within the model with polarization, talk in a sensible way about its alternative: We can think either aboutsuccessive measurements (then the Bell inequality is not derivable) or ask What would have happened if..., but then we deal with a different problem (in Aerts' terminology [2b] this is anobservation) and obtain again Eq. (8) (there is no complementarity but there is no model of spin either).     

Differential algebras for quantum groups of type B, C, and D

We study higher order bicovariant differential calculi on the quantum groups O_q(N) and Sp _q (N). We show that the second antisymmetrizer exterior algebra _u is the quotient of the universal exterior algebra _u by the principal ideal generated by . Here denotes the unique up to scalars biinvariant 1-form. Moreover is central in _u and _u is an inner differential calculus. We show that the quadratic dual to the left-invariant algebra _{s L} is isomorphic to the reflection equation algebra. Let be an arbitrary left-covariant first order differential calculus. We show that the dimension of the space of left-invariant 2-forms in the universal exterior algebra equals the number of linearly independent quadratic-linear relations in the quantum tangent space.     

The influence of successive asymmetrical magnetization reversal on the magnetic state of open samples

A study is made of the influence of successive asymmetrical magnetization reversal on the magnetic state of open samples, where the macroscopic demagnetization field has a significant effect during magnetization reversal and leads to a sort of rotation of the asymmetrical loops performed one after another. This effect is similar to reptation, which was studied experimentally by Nguyen van Dang [1–4] and theoretically explained by Néel [5, 6]. The quantitative expression of the rotation of asymmetrical loops in open samples as a function of the number of loops and amplitude of the disymmetry is similar to that with the reptation effect.

Asymptotics of decay of correlations for lattice spin fields at high temperatures. I. The Ising model

We find the asymptotic decrease of correlations < _{A +y} , _B >,yZ ^v +1, |y|, in the Ising model at high temperatures. For the case when monomials _A and _B both are odd, using the saddle-point method, we find the asymptotics of the correlations for any dimension . For even monomials _A , _B we formulate a general hypothesis about the form of the asymptotics and confirm it in two cases: (1) =1 and the vectory has an arbitrary direction, (2)y is directed along a fixed axis and arbitrary . Here we use besides the saddle-point method, some arguments from scattering theory.     

The influence of oscillations on ionization in a discharge path

The paper solves the problem of gas ionization in a discharge path in a very dilute gas, where the free path of the electrons is much larger than the dimensions of the path and the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes is of the order of the period of the applied h-f voltage. It was found that for a certain ratio of the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes in the discharge path to the period of the h-f oscillation, resonance occurs when the wattless current component is zero. The electron density rises in the path and thus also the gas ionization.

Interacting fields in general relativity theory

The direct interaction of a massless neutral scalar field with an electromagnetic field is investigated with regard for the proper gravitational field. The interaction Lagrangian is chosen in the form L_int=FF, =e–1, where the parameter characterizes the interaction force. Exact static spherically and cylindrically symmetric solutions are obtained. A solution with a finite total field energy is extracted. A comparison is made with the corresponding system in flat space-time. It is concluded that the gravitational field performs a regulatory function.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 25–30, September, 1977.The authors are indebted to Yu.

ССЛЕДОВАНИЕ РАСПАДА Dy155 → Tb155

The gamma-spectrum and coincidences of gamma-rays appearing in Dy¹⁵⁵ Tb¹⁵⁵ decay have been measured with the aid of a scintillation gamma-spectrometer. The Dy¹⁵⁵ source has been obtained by a repeated chromatographic separation from Ho fraction produced by a spallations reaction Ta+p(E _p=660 MeV). Dy¹⁵⁵ appears as a decay product of Ho¹⁵⁵ (T _1/2= =45 min). In the gamma-spectrum new transitions in the energy range of 1170–2000 keV have been observed. As a result of- coincidence measurements we get a new energy level (1820±15 keV) of Tb¹⁵⁵.

Influence of ageing on change in electrical properties of semiconducting systems of Bi₂Te₃-Bi₂Se₃

The paper describes the effect of ageing observed on a semiconducting system Bi₂Te₃ — Bi₂Se₃. It is shown that the change in electrical conductivity and thermoelectric force, which takes place during ageing, is caused by the change in concentration of the free electrons. The influence of this process on the efficiency of equipment employing the Peltier effect is analyzed.

Zusammenfassung Es wird theoretisch der Prozeß des Exzitonenzerfalls mit Hilfe der Ionisation durch das elektrostatische Feld der Störstelle untersucht. Die Wirkungsquerschnitte werden in zwei Grenzfällen bestimmt: bei einer kleinen und einer großen mittleren freien Bahn des Exzitons, die durch dessen Wechselwirkung mit den Phononen bedingt ist. Die Ergebnisse werden zum Studium des Exzitonenzerfalls an einer Vakanz nach einem Kupferion in Cu₂O-Kristallen mit einem stöchiometrischen Sauerstoffüberschuß verwendet.
