Problems in the interpretation of cosmic ray nuclear interactions

Difficulties in the interpretation of high-energy nuclear interactions are discussed and explanations suggested on the basis of successive or composite nucleon-nucleus collisions, the first predominant below a few 10 ¹¹ eV,the second for higher energies. In the energy region up to about 10 ¹¹ eVsome discrepancies in the frequency of production of strange particles, the small interaction cross-section of iron etc. are explained, taking into account secondary intranuclear collisions. The tunnel model of Heitler and McCusker is replaced by assuming a cone-shaped interaction volume (funnel) even at the highest primary energies. A number of consequences concerning the energies of the primary particles, the multiplicity and asymmetry in the angular distribution of secondaries, coefficient of inelasticity etc. are discussed.

A note on the Watanabe theory of weak interactions

It is shown that according to the Watanabe theory of weak interactions a resonant scattering of electrons by protons must take place. The resonant energy depends on the massm _B of the intermediate boson. Form _B=2300m _e this energy is about 213 MeV in the centre of the mass system (c. m. s.). The energy width at resonance is 1·4 MeV.

Current distributions in a two-dimensional random-resistor network

The current and logarithm-of-the-current distributionsn(i) andn(ln i) on bond diluted two-dimensional random-resistor networks at the percolation threshold are studied by a modified transfer matrix method. Thek th moment (–9k8) of n(ln i) i.e., ln i&^k, is found to scale with the linear sizeL as (InL)^(k). The exponents (k) are not inconsistent with the recent theoretical prediction (k)=k, with deviations which may be attributed to severe finitesize effects. For small currents, ln n(y)–, yielding information on the threshold below which the multifractality of (i) breaks down. Our numerical results for the moments of the currents are consistent with other available results.     

Optical and magneto-optical effects in semi-conductor crystals

The complicated line structure of the fundamental absorption edge and the effect of magneto-optical oscillations (which are general properties of crystals) open up good possibilities for the study of band structure and exciton states.From a survey of the facts observed lately it follows that the real existence of the exciton is almost certain although no experiment has yet been performed, which would provide direct experimental proof of its motion in the crystal. The evidence of the motion of excitons in the crystal can be determined from effects based on spatial dispersion effects. The observed optical anisotropy of absorption in a Cu₂O cubic crystal (due to spatial dispersion) and the quadrupole character of the exciton linen=1 confirm the motion of exciton through the crystal.The fine structure of the spectral curve for photoconductivity (an effect that is also common to all crystals), which is directly connected with the exciton absorption structure, also testifies to the motion of excitons.The exciton structure of the absorption edge and also the connected effect of edge emission enable the band structure and its splitting to be studied.The determination of the splitting of the exciton lines and edge of continuous absorption under the influence of oriented elastic deformation and the study of the state of polarization of the split components provides a new method for the study of band structure.The study of the Zeeman effect for lines of exciton, absorption in crystals can supply data on the exciton motion and on the complicated band structure in crystals. Special detailed data on the band structure can be obtained from studies in polarized light. From the effect of magneto-optical oscillations we can decide with great exactness the band width of the forbidden zone and obtain data which are in good agreement with those obtained by other methods.

Anti-parallel ferroelectric domains in surface space-charge layers of BaTiO3

It is shown on simplified models of a surface space-charge layer of a single crystal of BaTiO ₃ that in the surface region, in which the direction of the electric field is opposite to the direction of spontaneous polarization inside the crystal, anti-parallel domains can exist. The dimensions of these domains are determined. The use of the results obtained is proposed for interpreting the microrelief of the etch figures and for explaining the different phases of the polarization reversal process of a single-domain single crystal of BaTiO ₃.

Two-barrier detector

The paper describes the principle of a detector with two opposite surface barriers and the experimental verification of its functioning. The detector permits double the effective depth to be attained on the material with a given bias voltage. The principle of opposite barriers also permits a reduction in the system of dE/dx andE detectors to one detector.

The formation of dislocations by a spark discharge

The arrangement of dislocations formed in a single crystal of the alloy Fe-4·2% Si by a spark discharge in air is studied. The dislocations are made visible by etching on the surfaces perpendicular and parallel to the axis of the crater. The results of the observations are explained on the basis of microphysical conceptions of plastic deformation.

On some equations for potential scattering

It is shown that by solving the linear integral Agranovi-Marenko equation for potentials-scattering one can obtain: 1) in the simplest case, when the scattering matrixS has one redundant pole in the upper half-plane of the impulse, the Bargmann potentials; 2) if theS-matrix hasn redundant poles — the equations, which Petras derived fors-scattering using an adapted and simplified Bargmann method; 3) if theS-matrix is discontinuous on a certain interval — the non-relativistic Noyes-Wong equation and 4) further relations — for combinations of isolated poles and discontinuities of theS-matrix on intervals. The former equations can be obtained from the latter as specific cases. In the discussion, the relation between the value of the residuum of theS-matrix in the redundant poles and the number of bound states is shown and the solution of the inverse problem for a band spectrum is sketched.

Ferromagnetic resonance in thin cobalt films

The paper gives the results of measuring ferromagnetic resonance on thin cobalt films, vacuum deposited on unheated glass slides. The values of the (g-factor, the width of the curve, the effective stress and uniaxial induced anisotropy were determined as a function of the thickness of the film from measurements of the ferromagnetic absorption in a magnetic field normal and parallel to the surface of the film. Measurements were carried out on a frequency of 9200 MHz and on film thicknesses of 180 to 1800 Å. A qualitative explanation of the observed dependences is given.

The basic equations of the dynamics of the continuous distribution of dislocations III. special problems

The basic equations of the dynamics of the continuous distribution of dislocations analogical to Maxwell equations are derived in a series of papers [I, II, III]. The analogy of the elastic and electromagnetic fields is analyzed. In part [III] some special problems are discussed, such as the density of the forces acting on the dislocations, the energy dissipation during the movement of dislocations, which is expressed by an equation analogical to Ohm's law. The equations derived in the previous parts in four-dimensional symbolics are considered in the three-dimensional differential and integral form. It is found that in special cases the relations become the known ones of elastodynamics, hydrodynamics and the static theory of the continuous distribution of dislocations. It is found that Kröner's method of integrating the equations of the dislocation field by means of so-called incompatibility tensors is analogical to the integration of the Maxwell equations by means of Hertz vectors. The analogy between the elastic dislocation field and the electromagnetic field is discussed in detail.

Fock representations of the affine Lie algebraA 1 (1)

The aim of this note is to show that the affine Lie algebraA ₁ ⁽¹⁾ has a natural family _, ,v of Fock representations on the spaceC[x _i,y _j;i andj ], parametrized by (,v) C ². By corresponding the highest weight _, of _, to each (,), the parameter spaceC ₂ forms a double cover of the weight spaceC₀C –₁ with singularities at linear forms of level –2; this number is (–1)-times the dual Coxeter number. Our results contain explicit realizations of irreducible non-integrable highest wieghtA ₁ ⁽¹⁾ -modules for generic (,v).     

Energy and momentum in general relativity

In general relativity, conservation of energy and momentum is expressed by an equation of the form /x= 0, where –gT represents the total energy, momentum, and stress. This equation arises from the divergence formula dV _v = (/x ^v )d ⁴ d. Here we show that this formula fails to account properly for the system of basis vectors e(x). We obtain the (invariant) divergence formula e dV _v = e (/x ^v + )d ⁴ d. Conservation of energy and momentum is therefore expressed by the covariant equation (/x ^v ) + = 0. We go on to calculate the variation of the action under uniform displacements in space-time. This calculation yields the covariant equation of conservation, as well as the fully symmetric energy tensor . Finally, we discuss the transfer of energy and momentum, within the context of Einstein's theory of gravitation.

Polarization of photo-luminescence of ZnS: Cu monocrystals

Different models of luminescence centres are discussed on the basis of measurements of the composition of ZnS monocrystal photo-luminescence in different polarizations and temperature dependence of the degree of polarization. Those of the models submitted by Birman, which assume the polarization to be due to the different force of the oscillators for transitions withEc andEc, or models assuming luminescence polarization to be due to the orientation of the luminescence centres, agree with the results of experiments, i.e. the temperature independence of the degree of polarization and the conformable spectral composition of both polarizations. It is also shown that measurements made up to now of the degree of polarization must be taken as orientational as a consequence of the depolarizing influence of the diffused rays of luminescence on its value.

Energy level crossings in quantum mechanics

From the eigenvalue equationH \ _n () =E _n ()\ _n () withH H ₀ +V one can derive an autonomous system of first order differential equations for the eigenvaluesE _n () and the matrix elementsV _mn () where is the independent variable. To solve the dynamical system we need the initial valuesE _n ( = 0) and \ _n ( = 0). Thus one finds the motion of the energy levelsE _n (). We discuss the question of energy level crossing. Furthermore we describe the connection with the stationary state perturbation theory. The dependence of the survival probability as well as some thermodynamic quantities on is derived. This means we calculate the differential equations which these quantities obey. Finally we derive the equations of motion for the extended caseH =H ₀ +V ₁ + ² V ₂ and give an application to a supersymmetric Hamiltonian.
