A contribution to the semi-focusing method with a flat polycrystalline sample

Condition are derived for the approximate focusing of diffraction lines in the chosen, relatively wide angular region, using the semi-focusing method with a flat sample, if a bent crystal monochromator is employed. The form of the absorption factor for a flat polycrystalline sample is derived for the case of uniform oscillation of the sample in the angular region ± around the axis of the camera.

Solution spectrum of nonlinear diffusion equations

The stationary version of the nonlinear diffusion equation–c/t +D c = ₁c – ₂c² can be solved with the ansatz c = _p ^{= 1/} A_p(coshkx) ^–p , inducing a band structure with regard to the ratio ₁/₂. The resulting solution manifold can be related to an equilibrium of fluxes of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The modification of this ansatz yielding the expansion c = skp = 1/ A _pq (coshkx)^–p [(cosht) ^–q–1 sinht + b(cosht)^–q] represents a solution spectrum of the time-dependent nonlinear equation, and the stationary version can be found from the asymptotic behavior of the expansion. The solutions can be associated with reactive processes propagating along molecular chains, and their applicability to biophysical processes such as active transport phenomena and control circuit problems is discussed. There are also applications to cellular kinetics of clonogenic cell assays and spheroids.     

The Schrödinger equation and canonical perturbation theory

LetT ₀(, )+V be the Schrödinger operator corresponding to the classical HamiltonianH ₀()+V, whereH ₀() is thed-dimensional harmonic oscillator with non-resonant frequencies =(₁, ... , _d ) and the potentialV(q ₁, ... ,q _d) is an entire function of order (d+1)^–1. We prove that the algorithm of classical, canonical perturbation theory can be applied to the Schrödinger equation in the Bargmann representation. As a consequence, each term of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger series near any eigenvalue ofT ₀(, ) admits a convergent expansion in powers of of initial point the corresponding term of the classical Birkhoff expansion. Moreover ifV is an even polynomial, the above result and the KAM theorem show that all eigenvalues _n (, ) ofT ₀+V such thatn coincides with a KAM torus are given, up to order , by a quantization formula which reduces to the Bohr-Sommerfeld one up to first order terms in .     

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.     

Mathematical properties of gap-functions in strongly coupled superconductors

We consider the Dyson equation associated with the BCS superconducting state from a mathematical point of view. The Dyson equation gives rise to a modified gap equation that is similar to the BCS gap equation, but with a different kernel. We first show that for strong coupling (such that the McMillan parameter ||1) both the real and imaginary parts of the solution (E) of the modified gap equation alternate in sign as function of the excitation energyE, the periods being 4₀ for positive and 4₀/3 for negative . (₀ is the frequency of an Einstein spectrum of phonons). A closed, algebraic approximation to (E) is 2||₀log[cotan(E/ )]. Finally, the poles of the kernel of the integral equation are located in the complex-E plane. For the new-type, oscillatory solution of the modified gap equation the analogue of the causal (zero-temperature) Green's function is shown to have different analytic properties from those of the smooth Eliashberg solution of BCS theory.     

Spectral properties of certain composition operators arising in statistical mechanics

By applying the theory of linear positive operators in a Banach space we derive spectral properties of certain composition operators in the Banach spaceA () of holomorphic functions over some domain . Examples of such operators are provided by the so called generalized transfer matrices of classical one-dimensional lattice systems.     

Asymptotic Distribution of Eigenvalues for a Class of Second-Order Elliptic Operators with Irregular Coefficients in R d

Let A=A ₀+v(x) where A ₀ is a second-order uniformly elliptic self-adjoint operator in R ^d and v is a real valued polynomially growing potential. Assuming that v and the coefficients of A ₀ are Hölder continuous, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the counting function N(A,) () with the remainder estimates depending on the regularity hypotheses. Our strongest regularity hypotheses involve Lipschitz continuity and give the remainder estimate N(A,)O({}^–), where may take an arbitrary value strictly smaller than the best possible value known in the smooth case. In particular, our results are obtained without any hypothesis on critical points of the potential.     

Reactive pulsed laser deposition and laser induced crystallization of SnO2 transparent conducting thin films

Transparent conducting SnO₂ thin films with a thickness between 1000–2000 Å were deposited on glass, quartz and silicon substrates using standard pulsed laser deposition techniques with two different targets (Sri and SnO₂) and with three different laser wavelengths (1.06, 0.532 and 0.266 ) from a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. Tin dioxide films with optical transmission over most of the visible spectrum exceeding 80% were obtained using a Sn target and a background oxygen pressure of 20 Pa. The electrical resistivity () depended strongly on the substrate temperature during deposition, with the lowest values of of about 10^–2 -cm obtained when the substrate was maintained at 400°C during deposition. Using SnO₂ targets, predominantly amorphous phase SnO₂ films were deposited on Si substrates and then transformed into polycrystalline Sn₃O₄ by laser induced crystallization ( = 1.06 m). Whereas these later films were essentially non-conducting as deposited ( > 400 -cm), the electrical resistivity was permanently reduced after laser induced crystallization by a factor greater than 1000 to a value of approximately 4 × 10^–1 -cm.     

Symmetries and half-sided modular inclusions of von Neumann algebras

LetN, be a von Neumann algebras on a Hilbert space , a common cyclic and separating vector. Assume to be cyclic and also separating forN . Denote by , _N , _N the modular operators to (, ), (N, ), resp (N , ). Assume now ^-it N ^it N for allt 0. (Such type of inclusions ((N U, ) , ) are called half-sided modular.) Then the modular groups ^it , _N ^ir , _N ^is ,t, r, s generate a unitary representation of the group S1(2, )/Z ₂ of positive energy.Another result is related to two half-sided modular inclusions (₁ , ) and (₂ , ). Under proper conditions the three modular groups ^it , ₁ ^ir , ₂ ^is ,t, r, s generate the three-dimensional subgroup of O(2, 1) of two commuting translations and the Lorentz transformation.Partly supported by the DFG, SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik.     

The quantum theory of multipole radiation in a dielectric

The potentials of an electromagnetic field of multipoles in a dielectric, which is realized by a dielectric sphere having a perfectly conducting surface, are derived. The diagonal values of the energy for thez component of the angular momentum and the square of the angular momentum of the field are determined and also the ratio between thez component of the angular momentum and the energy and the ratio between the square of the angular momentum and the square of the energy. It is shown that the total angular momentum can be divided in the usual way into orbital and spin parts but that these parts cannot be interpreted as the orbital and spin angular momentum because their eigenvalues cannot be the eigenvalues of any operator of infinitesimal rotation. In the commutation rules of a multipole field the vector character of the field is to a certain extent suppressed and the spin of the photon in a state with a certain value of the energy, parityz component of the angular momentum and the square of the angular momentum is not defined.

The electroluminescence op ZnS-Cu single crystals excited with pulses of alternating polarity

The brightness waves of electroluminescence of ZnS—Cu were measured for the case of excitation with rectangular pulses as a function of the amplitude of the pulses and the temperature. A concrete model is proposed for electronic processes in barriers in ZnS crystals, the consequences of which for the decay of electroluminescence are in agreement with measurements.

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 influence of an alternating magnetic field on the remanent state of magnetically soft materials

A study is made of the influence of an alternating magnetic field of varying maximum amplitude on the remanent state, or rather, apparent remanent state of toroidal and open samples of metallic and non-metallic magnetically soft ferromagnetics. An interpretation of the corresponding dependences is given on the basis of Kondorski's conception of the composition of a polycrystalline jerromagnetic material.

     

Spatial period of moving striations as function of electric field strength in glow discharge

During a systematic investigation of the parameters of a moving stratification in a glow discharge in helium and neon it was found that the spatial period of the striations is a simple, unique function of the d-c (constant) component of the longitudinal electric field strengthE. It was found that this dependence is hyperbolic and that the simple relation (1) or (2) thus holds. In the relation has the significance of a potential fall between the corresponding points of two neighbouring striations and in the measured range of pressures, currents and diameters of discharge tubes it depends only on the sort of gas and type of striations.

Mean-Field Critical Behavior for the Contact Process

The contact process is a model of spread of an infectious disease. Combining with the result of ref. 1, we prove that the critical exponents take on the mean-field values for sufficiently high dimensional nearest-neighbor models and for sufficiently spread-out models with d>4:()– _c as _c and ()( _c–)^–1 as _c, where () and () are the spread probability and the susceptibility of the infection respectively, and _c is the critical infection rate. Our results imply that the upper critical dimension for the contact process is at most 4.
