The vacuum and lightcone quantization of interaction Hamiltonians

Let denote the conformally invariant neutral free scalar field on ×S ⁿ. The naive lightcone Hamiltonian for a ^p interaction is given by c^p, where C denotes a lightcone in ×S ⁿ, and the Wick power is relative to the free vacuum. We show that this sesquilinear form annihilates the free vacuum if n3 is odd, p>2, and p(n–1)0 mod 4.     

On the basic laws of reaction kinetics

The paper gives the basic laws necessary and in principle sufficient for constructing a system of differential equations for any reaction kinetic process. A new and more exact formulation of two of the basic laws (the principle of superposition of partial reaction velocities and the Guldberg-Waage law) is made possible by an exact definition of the important quantities of this subject. In conclusion the paper points out the difference between the general form of the differential equations for concentrations of components expressed in moles per unit weight and that for concentrations of components expressed in moles per unit volume.

Quantitative method for determination of fibre texture in wires I. Principle of method and analytical expression of absorption factor

An X-ray diffraction method is described for the quantitative determination of the fibre texture in cylindrical specimens (wires), which does not require specimen preparation. The integrated intensity of the diffracted radiation from a certain atomic plane is measured in the direction parallel to the plane determined by the axis of the wire and by the direct beam for different orientations of the axis of the wire. These measurements can be carried out in practice using an X-ray counter diffractometer or Weissenberg goniometer. The pole figure is determined from the dependence of the diffracted intensity on the orientation of the wire after correcting the intensities for the absorption of radiation in the specimen. The geometric arrangement enables the absorption factor to be calculated analytically. Its form was verified experimentally by measuring the dependence of the intensity of the 220 reflection on the orientation of the axis of a cylindrical specimen of Al containing randomly oriented crystals.

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.

The Gelfand-Levitan equation and its application to the scattering of neutrons on protons

The Gelfand-Levitan equation for the kernelP(r, r) (withrr) is formulated and then applied for determining the scattering potential in the scattering of slow neutrons on protons (for the case when the dependence of the nuclear forces on the spins can be neglected and onlys-scattering need be considered). The potentials obtained are the same as the Bargmann ones, found by a different method.

Effect of hydrogen doping on the magnetic properties of Gd2CuO4

We report the results of ac-susceptibility and dc-magnetization measurements for H_yGd₂CuO₄ (0y0.54). It is shown thatH doping lowers the weak ferromagnetic component in the material. The distinct hysteresis loops observed atT=77 K for both non- and hydrogenated samples change its shape withy. The magnetic ordering temperatures T _N ^Cu and T _N ^Gd , as determined from the temperature dependencies of ac-susceptibility, remain unchanged with sample's hydrogenation. This result seems to indicate that extra electrons are not doped onto the Cu-O planes of Gd₂CuO₄. The frequency dependencies ofx(, T) andx(, T) for bothy=0 andy=0.15 samples are analysed., The maximums ofx andx found at about 200K are considered in terms of susceptibility dependence on the spin-lattice relaxation time (). The anomalies in ac-susceptibility found recently in Gd₂CuO₄ atT _a=8 K andT _b=9.5 K decrease significantly withy. Results are discussed in the context of available data on 214T-type compounds.     

Diffusion in a one-dimensional gas of hard point particles

We simulate the classical diffusion of a particle of massM in an infinite one-dimensional system of hard point particles of massm in equilibrium. Each computer run corresponds to about 10⁸ collisions of the diffusive particle. We find that (t) 1/t fort large enough, and a crossover from an M m regime where=2 to=3 forM=m. The diffusion constant has a sharp maximum atM=m. We study moments x(t)² and x(t)⁴, and examine the behavior ofq ² (t)=x(t)⁴/3x(t)²². We find thatq(t)1 (consistent with a normal distribution) in theM limit (for all timest) and in the t limit for allM.

Branched polymers in a wedge geometry in three dimensions

We investigate the statistical and dimensional properties of uniform star polymers attached by the branching vertex of degreef in a wedge geometry in three dimensions and described by the wedge angles and. We show that the growth constant is equal to ^f , where is the self-avoiding walk limit. Thef and (, ) dependences of the corresponding critical exponent _f (, ) are studied using Monte Carlo techniques. In the casef=1, our results are compared with existing predictions obtained from series expansion and renormalization group methods. We have also estimated the amplitudes for the mean square radius of gyration and the mean square end-to-end branch length. Our results for the ratio of the mean square radius of gyration of anf-star to that of a linear polymer of the same degree of polymerization attached in a similar wedge, and the analogous ratio for the mean square end-to-end branch length, are consistent with these ratios being lattice-independent quantities.     

Single crystal diffraction patterns of germanium. Part II

The rocking curves of Ge (111), (220), (333) for CuK ₁ radiation were measured by means of the triple-crystal diffractometer. Perfect silicon single crystals, cut parallel to the (111) plane were used in the monochromator part of the triple-crystal diffractometer. The results prove the suitability of such a monochromator for studying diffraction patterns.

The physical nature of the production of moving striations in a d-c discharge plasma

The physical nature of the stratification of the d-c discharge plasma is found and physically interpreted. The interpretation is based on the mathematical expression of the production of periodic structure in plasma after an aperiodic disturbance, derived from an extremely simplified system of equations. Only three basic phenomena occurring in the plasma of each d-c discharge are included: a) the dependence of the rate of ionization on the electron temperature and hence on the electric field, b) the production of space charges due to the different rates of diffusion of the electrons and ions, c) the creation of additional electric fields due to the creation of space charges. The interactions of these phenomena gives rise to a chain, expanded in time and space, which leads to the production of moving striations. In agreement with experiment this structure is developed only on the side towards the anode from the place where the equilibrium state is disturbed.

Effect of electrolytically deposited nickel films on the magnetic properties of iron-silicon alloy

The effect of electrolytically deposited nickel films on the magnetostriction, coercive force, residual induction, and the position with respect to each other of the magnetic susceptibility maxima _max. _max of specimens of iron-silicon alloy is investigated. It is shown that elastic extensions lead to a reduction in the spacing between the maxima _max, _max , and for certain loads this spacing disappears and only one maximum is observed.     

Weak four-fermion interaction in terms of SU(3) invariants. II

A lepton octet is constructed by analogy with the baryon octet by the substitution p⁺N ₁e⁺,⁺₁ é⁺,^-₂^-, ^- N ₂^-, where ₁, ₂,N ₁,N ₂ are arbitrary constants. The neutral components are replaced by a linear sum of the electron and muon neutrinos with arbitrary coefficients. The constants are determined from the system of general conditions (normalization, absence of crossed terms of the type ( etc.). As a result, the lepton octet is determined to within a single constant, and this is shown to be identical with the Cabibbo angle. Calculations are also made of the weak decays of baryons of the octet in the case of both charged and neutral currents. In the case of charged currents, the results agree with Cabibbo's theory. Calculations are also made of the lepton-lepton weak interactions and the ratios of the corresponding constants are determined. The ratios are in qualitative agreement with the existing experimental data.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 51–56, January, 1976.     

The influence of compression on the absorption of AgBr single crystals

The influence of compression on the edge of self absorption of AgBr single crystals was studied. The measurements were performed at a temperature of –180°C. The shift of the edge of self absorption was studied both in the field of elastic and plastic deformations. The shift of the absorption edge towards the UV end of the spectrum was determined in the field of elastic deformations and towards the i.r. end in the field of plastic deformations. After the ending of the deformation and after unloading the crystal the return of the absorption edge towards the original position was observed.

Magnetic susceptibility of a one-dimensional Fermi system and dielectric function of a two-dimensional Coulomb gas

A relation between the magnetic susceptibility(k, ) of an interacting 1-D Fermi system and the dielectric function(q) of a 2-D Coulomb gas is established. By applying a cluster-expansion technique and by using known results for the pair-correlation function of the Coulomb gas we obtain a number of expressions for(q) which apply in different regions of theq-plane and in different temperature intervals. These results supplement the existing picture of the transition from non-metallic to metallic behaviour occurring in the 2-D Coulomb gas as the temperature increases. The relation between(q) and(k, ) is then used to derive explicit expressions for(k, ) from these results for(q). The change in the dielectric response of the 2-D Coulomb gas is reflected by a change in the magnetic response of the 1-D Fermi system: as a function of the spin non-flip coupling constant the susceptibility of the Fermi system changes from normal paramagnetic behaviour to non-magnetic behaviour characteristic of a bound singlet-spin ground state, as decreases. Our result for the gap in the spin excitation spectrum of the Fermi system is in agreement with the results of other authors.On sabbatical leave from Institut für Theoretische Physik, TU Hannover, GermanyWork at U.C.S.B. supported in part by the National Science Foundation

Equilibrium state of toroidal electron beam

The paper deals with the collective behaviour of electrons which rotate in a magnetic field used in a betatron. It is shown experimentally that there exists strong interaction between the electrons, which leads to the rapid formation of the equilibrium state with characteristic distribution of the charge density in the cross-section of the toroidal beam. The corresponding relaxation time is of the order of 1 sec. A statistical theory of the equilibrium beam is elaborated. Its main result is that the effective radius of the beam is a function of two parameters, one of which is proportional to the thermal energy of the electrons and the other to the perveance of the beam. The charge contained in a toroidal beam of given effective cross-section is equal to the product of the charge the beam would contain at zero temperature and a coefficient, which is a function of the temperature of the beam. Its value is unity at zero temperature and rapidly decreases with increasing temperature. The cause of cooling of the beam is shown.

Ultrasound in spin glasses

The change of the sound velocity v(,T) and the damping of sound waves (,T) in spin glasses are calculated in the frame-work of an Ising model with a random distribution of exchange interactions. The calculation is based on linearized equations of motion for the spins and on an improved mean field approximation which includes the Onsager reaction field. Near to the freezing temperatureT _f and at high temperatures v(,T) and (,T) turn out to be approximately proportional to the real and the imaginary parts of the dynamical susceptibility. For the special case of infinite range interactions atT=T _f one has v(, T_f) ( )^1/2 and (, T_f) (/)^1/2 where is the relaxation time of independent spins. However, already slightly aboveT _f the frequency dependence of both quantities becomes rather small for RKKY spin glasses. At high temperatures both, v(,T) and (,T) vary asT ^–1.SFB 125 Aachen-Jülich-Köln
