Generalized holographic and Ricci dark energy models

In this paper, we consider generalized holographic and Ricci dark energy models where the energy densities are given as ρ _R =3c ² M _pl² Rf(H ²/R) and ρ _h =3c ² M _pl² H ² g(R/H ²), respectively; here f(x), g(y) are positive defined functions of the dimensionless variables H ²/R or R/H ². It is interesting that holographic and Ricci dark energy densities are recovered or recovered interchangeably when the function f(x)=g(y)≡1 or f(x)=Id and g(y)=Id are taken, respectively (for example f(x),g(x)=1−ε(1−x), ε=0or1, respectively). Also, when f(x)≡xg(1/x) is taken, the Ricci and holographic dark energy models are equivalent to a generalized one. When the simple forms f(x)=1−ε(1−x) and g(y)=1−η(1−y) are taken as examples, by using current cosmic observational data, generalized dark energy models are considered. As expected, in these cases, the results show that they are equivalent (ε=1−η=1.312), and Ricci-like dark energy is more favored relative to the holographic one where the Hubble horizon was taken as an IR cut-off. And the suggested combination of holographic and Ricci dark energy components would be 1.312R−0.312H ², which is 2.312H²+1.312[(H)\dot]2.312H^{2}+1.312\dot{H} in terms of H ² and [(H)\dot]\dot{H} .     

NMR-ON measurements of187WFe,182,183,186ReNi,186ReFe and203PbFe

The magnetic hyperfine splitting frequencies of¹⁸⁷WFe,¹⁸²Re(j ^π=2⁺)Ni,¹⁸³ReNi,¹⁸⁶ReNi,¹⁸⁶ReFe and²⁰³PbFe in a zero external magnetic field have been determined by the NMR-ON method at about 7 mK as 225.56(6), 130.9(1), 98.17(4), 136.6(4), 1007.0(3) and 58.43(3) MHz, respectively. With the knowng-factors ofg(¹⁸⁶Re, 1⁻)=1.739(3) andg(²⁰³Pb, 5/2⁻)=0.27456(20), the following hyperfine fields were deduced:B _HF(¹⁸⁶ReNi)=−103.05(35) kG;B _HF(¹⁸⁶ReFe)=−759.7(13) kG;B _HF(²⁰³PbFe)=+279.18(25) kG. Taking hyperfine anomalies into account, theg-factor of¹⁸³Re was deduced as |g(¹⁸³Re, 5/2⁺)|=1.267(6). With the assumption of Knight shift factorK=0, theg-factors of¹⁸²Re and¹⁸⁷W and the hyperfine field of¹⁸⁷WFe were determined as |g(¹⁸²Re, 2⁺)|=1.63(5), |g(¹⁸⁷W, 3/2⁻)|=0.414(10) andB _HF(¹⁸⁷WFe) =−714(18) kG. The large hyperfine anomaly was deduced to be¹⁸³W Δ¹⁸⁷W =−0.124(22).     

Specific heat of the harmonic oscillator within generalized equilibrium statistics

Summary Within the generalized equilibrium statistics recently introduced by Tsallis (p _n ∝[1−β(q−-1) _εn ]^1/(q−)), we calculate the thermal dependence of the specific heat corresponding to a harmonic-oscillator-like spectrum, namely ε _n ω(n−α) (∀ω>0,n=0,1,2,...). The influences ofq and α are exhibited. Physically inaccessible and/or thermally frozen gaps are obtained in the low-temperature region, and, forq>1, oscillations are observed in the high-temperature region. The specific heat of the two-level system is also shown.

High-spin states of<Superscript>125</Superscript>Sb: Particle-core excitation coupling

Excited states of¹²⁵Sb have been studied using in-beam γ spectroscopy techniques via the¹²⁴Sn(⁷Li, α2n) reaction at a beam energy of 32 MeV. A high-spin level scheme including 21 new γ-transitions and 14 new excited states have been established. Three isomers have been identified at 1970, 2110 and 2471 keV and the ranges of their half-lives have been estimated from the delayed coincidence data. The level structure of¹²⁵Sb is discussed in terms of particle-core excitation coupling. With the help of empirical shell model calculations the three isomers are proposed to have three-quasiparticle πg_7/2⊗v(h _11/2 s _1/2)₅₋, πg_7/2⊗v(h _11/2 d _3/2)₇₋ and πg_7/2⊗v(h ₁₁^2/2)₁₀ ⁺ configurations, respectively.     

Nature of conduction via impurities in uncompensated silicon

The static conductivity σ(E) and photoconductivity (PC) at radiation frequencies ħω=10 and 15 meV in Si doped with shallow impurities (density N=10¹⁶−6×10¹⁶ cm⁻³, ionization energy ε₁≃45 meV) with compensation K=10⁻⁴−10⁻⁵ in electric fields E=10–250 V/cm are measured at liquid-helium temperatures T. Special measures are taken to prevent the high-frequency part of the background radiation (ħω>16 meV) from striking the sample. It is found that the conductivity σ(E) is due to carrier motion along the D ⁻ band, which is filled with carriers under the influence of the field E. In fields E<E _q (E _q ≃100–200 V/cm) the carrier motion consists of hops along localized D ⁻ states in a 10–15 meV energy band below the bottom of the free band (energy ε=ε₁); for E>E _q carriers drift along localized D ⁻ states with energy ε∞ε₁−10 meV. An explanation is proposed for the threshold behavior of the field dependence of the photo-and static conductivities. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 66, No. 4, 232–236 (25 August 1997)     

A Note on Classical Ground State Energies

The pair-specific ground state energy ε _g (N):=ℰ _g (N)/(N(N−1)) of Newtonian N body systems grows monotonically in N. This furnishes a whole family of simple new tests for minimality of putative ground state energies ℰ _g ^x (N) obtained through computer experiments. Inspection of several publicly available lists of such computer-experimentally obtained putative ground state energies ℰ _g ^x (N) has yielded several dozen instances of ℰ _g ^x (N) which failed one of these tests; i.e., for those N one concludes that ℰ _g ^x (N)>ℰ _g (N) strictly. Although the correct ℰ _g (N) is not revealed by this method, it does yield a better upper bound on ℰ _g (N) than ℰ _g ^x (N) whenever ℰ _g ^x (N) fails a monotonicity test. The surveyed N-body systems include in particular N point charges with 2- or 3-dimensional Coulomb pair interactions, placed either on the unit 2-sphere or on a 2-torus (a.k.a. Thomson, Fekete, or Riesz problems).     

(T1u+T1g)⊗(hg+τ1u)vibronic interaction and superconductivity in C 60 n− fullerides

The closeness of low-lying T_1u and T_1g levels of C ₆₀ ⁻ could enable their mixing under an odd parity vibration of (T_{1 u} + T_{1 g} ⊗ (h_g + τ_{1 u})type. In addition, the two levels are susceptible to Jahn-Teller interaction due to five-fold degenerate h_g vibrations. This complex problem of (T_1u+T_1g)⊗(h_g+τ_1u) vibronic interaction is transformed to a form similar to T_2g ⊗ (ε_g + τ_2g) vibronic problem of octahedral symmetry. The problem is analysed in an infinite coupling model and compared with the experimental spectroscopic results for the C ₆₀ ⁻ radical. The resulting parameters are used to calculate the pair-binding energy and superconducting transition temperature in C ₆₀ ⁿ⁻ fullerides. Vibronic mixing with the T_1g level is found to be responsible for maximising the pair-binding energy at the doping level n=3. It is also found to be an important source of T_c enhancement.     

β-Relaxation in polymethylacrylate studied by light scattering

Summary The relaxation processes of glass-forming polymethylacrylate have been studied in a wide temperature range above the glass transition temperatureT _g by means of light scattering measurements. Experimental spectra give evidence of a self-similar behaviourI(ω) ∝ ω^−(1−a) over a spectral range of 2–3 decades, consistent with the predictions of the mode-coupling theory. Different from the prediction of the theory, the value ofa is strongly temperature dependent. This behaviour has been attributed to the presence of a slow secondary relaxation located in the GHz frequency region, whose strength progressively increases with temperature.

Dual analytic model of generalized parton distributions

A model for generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in the form of ∼(x/g ₀)^{(1−x)ᾶ(t)}, where ᾶ(t) = α(t) − α(0) is the nonlinear part of the Regge trajectory and g ₀ is a parameter, g ₀ > 1, is presented. For linear trajectories, it reduces to earlier proposals. We compare the calculated moments of these GPDs with the experimental data on form factors and find that the effects from the nonlinearity of Regge trajectories are large. By Fourier transforming the obtained GPDs, we access the spatial distribution of protons in the transverse plane. The relation between dual amplitudes with Mandelstam analyticity and composite models in the infinite-momentum frame is discussed, the integration variable in dual models being associated with the quark longitudinal-momentum fraction x in the nucleon. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Quasi-long-range order in the random anisotropy Heisenberg model

The random field and random anisotropy N-vector models are studied with the functional renormalization group in 4−ε dimensions. The random anisotropy Heisenberg (N=3) model has a phase with an infinite correlation length at low temperatures and weak disorder. The correlation function of the magnetization obeys a power law 〈m(r ₁)m(r ₂)〉∼|r ₁−r ₂|^{− 0.62ε}. The magnetic susceptibility diverges at low fields as χ∼H ^−1+0.15ε. In the random field N-vector model the correlation length is finite at arbitrarily weak disorder for any N>3. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Renormalization group functions of the φ<Superscript>4</Superscript> theory from high-temperature expansions

It has been previously shown that calculation of the renormalization group (RG) functions of scalar ϕ⁴ theory reduces to analysis of thermodynamic properties of the Ising model. Using high-temperature expansions for the latter, RG functions of the four-dimensional theory can be calculated for arbitrary coupling constant g with an accuracy of 10⁻⁴ for the Gell-Mann-Low function β(g) and with an accuracy of 10⁻³–10⁻² for anomalous dimensions. The expansions of the renormalization group functions up to the 13th order in g ^−1/2 have been obtained.     

The Transition to a Giant Vortex Phase in a Fast Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate

We study the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) energy functional for a fast rotating Bose-Einstein condensate on the unit disc in two dimensions. Writing the coupling parameter as 1/ε ² we consider the asymptotic regime ε → 0 with the angular velocity Ω proportional to (ε ²|log ε|)⁻¹. We prove that if Ω = Ω₀(ε ²|log ε|)⁻¹ and Ω₀ > 2(3π)⁻¹ then a minimizer of the GP energy functional has no zeros in an annulus at the boundary of the disc that contains the bulk of the mass. The vorticity resides in a complementary ‘hole’ around the center where the density is vanishingly small. Moreover, we prove a lower bound to the ground state energy that matches, up to small errors, the upper bound obtained from an optimal giant vortex trial function, and also that the winding number of a GP minimizer around the disc is in accord with the phase of this trial function.     

On the Energy Growth of Some Periodically Driven Quantum Systems with Shrinking Gaps in the Spectrum

We consider quantum Hamiltonians of the form H(t)=H+V(t) where the spectrum of H is semibounded and discrete, and the eigenvalues behave as E _n ∼n ^α , with 0<α<1. In particular, the gaps between successive eigenvalues decay as n ^α−1. V(t) is supposed to be periodic, bounded, continuously differentiable in the strong sense and such that the matrix entries with respect to the spectral decomposition of H obey the estimate ‖V(t) _m,n ‖≤ε|m−n|^−p max {m,n}^−2γ for m≠n, where ε>0, p≥1 and γ=(1−α)/2. We show that the energy diffusion exponent can be arbitrarily small provided p is sufficiently large and ε is small enough. More precisely, for any initial condition Ψ∈Dom(H ^1/2), the diffusion of energy is bounded from above as 〈H〉 _Ψ (t)=O(t ^σ ), where . As an application we consider the Hamiltonian H(t)=|p| ^α +ε v(θ,t) on L ²(S ¹,dθ) which was discussed earlier in the literature by Howland.     

Low-energy electron spectrum in copper oxides in the multiband p-d model

An exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the p-d model of a CuO₆ cluster was used to obtain dependences on the model parameters of the lowest-energy two-hole terms: the energy difference between the 2p orbitals of planar and apical oxygen Δ(apex)=ε(2p)−ε[2p(apex)], the crystal field parameter , and the ratio of the distances between the copper atom and the apical and planar oxygen atoms d(apex)/d(pl). In the limit of large d(apex)/d(pl) and Δ_d, our model is equivalent to the three-band p-d model and, in this case, large singlet-triplet splitting Δε⩾1 eV is also observed. As the parameters decrease, a singlet-triplet crossover is observed. Two mechanisms are identified for stabilization of the triplet term ³ B _1g (0) as the ground state. It is shown that for realistic values of the parameters, reduction of the p-d model to the three-band model is limited by the low energies of the current excitations because of the presence of the lower excited ³ B _1g and ¹ A _1g cluster states. Intercluster hopping causes strong mixing of singlet and triplet states far from the G point. The results of the calculations are compared with data obtained by angle-resolved photoelectron emission in Sr₂CuO₂Cl₂. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 40, 184–190 (February 1998)

Pseudovector heavy quarkonia in e + e −2 collisions

It is shown that BR(χ _b1(1 P)→e ⁺ e ⁻)≃3.3· 10⁻⁷ and BR(χ _c1(1 P)→e ⁺ e ⁻)≃10⁻⁸. This gives realistic possibilities for searching for the production of χ _b1(1 P) and ξ _c1(1 P) states in e ⁺ e ⁻ collisions, even on the present-day colliders, to say nothing of b and c-τ factories.

Calculation of the quenching rate constants for electronically excited singlet molecular nitrogen

The quenching rate constants for the singlet states (a′)⁽¹⁾Σ _u ⁻ (v = 1−17), a ⁽¹⁾Π _g (v = 0−14), and w ⁽¹⁾Δ _u (v = 0−13) of molecular nitrogen colliding with an N₂ molecule are calculated using quantum-chemical approximations. It is shown for the first time that both the intramolecular and intermolecular processes of electronic excitation transfer are significant for these states. Calculated rate constants are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.     

Dielectric properties of epitaxial Pb1−x Sn x Te layers at microwave frequencies

The dielectric properties of epitaxial Pb_1−x Sn _x Te layers are investigated at 9 GHz in a composition range betweenx=0 and 0.225. The samples are characterized by fairly low carrier concentrations between 1.4×10¹⁶ and 32×10¹⁶ cm⁻³. Data of the static dielectric constant (ε ^s ) are obtained at temperatures of 77 and 300 K. The results of ε ^s are 25% to 100% higher compared to previous measurements in bulk material from other authors. The observed higher values of ε ^s in the investigated samples may be due to the reduced number of point defects in epitaxially grown Pb_1−x Sn _x Te layers. The model of Kawamura which predicts a dependence of ε ^s on the effective band gap cannot be verified.
