Emissivity of CO2-H2O mixtures at temperatures up to 1000° K

The emissivity in the 2.7 m range is examined with a spectrometer having 25 cm^–1 for 2.5, ,7.5 cm·atm,4 8cm·atm, 400T1000° K; 150P730 mm Hg. It is found that relation (1) is obeyed to within /0.1, though the calculated transmission is usually less than the measured value. It is shown that the relation is obeyed on account of the mutual position of the CO₂ and H₂O lines in the band, i.e., one gas may be considered as unselective relative to the other.     

Mössbauer study of mixed valent silicides Eu(Ir1−x Pd x )2Si2

The solid solutions Eu(Ir_1–x Pd _x )₂Si₂, which exist for 0x0.125 and 0.75x1. cristallize with the tetragonal ThCr₂Si₂-type structure. The variation of the europium valence with composition has been thoroughly studied at temperatures 4.2T293 K by¹⁵¹Eu Mössbauer resonance. For 0x0.125 the europium valence at room temperature decreases asx increases. For 0.75x1 the valence transition temperature Eu³⁺Eu²⁺ increases asx increases.     

Low-temperature and long-time anomalies of a damped quantum particle

The time evolution of a damped quantum particle is discussed. Dissipation is modeled by the bilinear coupling to a set of harmonic oscillators. Using a functional integral technique that accounts for initial correlations between the particle and the reservoir, one can express the dynamics of the damped particle entirely in terms of equilibrium correlation functions. The long-time behavior of these correlations is determined for memory damping arising from the coupling to a reservoir with spectral densityI() at low frequencies, where > 0. The time evolution of nonequilibrium initial states of the damped particle is discussed. At finite temperatures an initially localized state is found to spread subdiffusively or superdiffusively, depending on . For > 2 the damping becomes ineffective for long times, and the width of a state grows kinematically. At zero temperature and for < 1, an initially localized state remains localized for all times. For 1 the state spreads, but with a slower rate than at finite temperatures. Study of arbitrary initial states indicates that the process is ergodic at finite temperatures only for 2 and at zero temperature for 1 2.     

Recent results from the TCV tokamak

During the first two years of operation, the TCV tokamak has produced a large variety of plasma shapes and magnetic configurations, with 1.0B _tor1.46T,I _p800kA,k2.05, –0.71. A new shape control algorithm, based on a finite element reconstruction of the plasma current in real time, has been implemented. Vertical growth rates up to 1000s^–1 have been stabilized using the external coil system. Ohmic H-modes with Troyon factors ( _tor aB/I _p) up to two and densities up to 2.25×10²⁰m^–3, corresponding to the Greenwald limit, have been obtained in diverted discharges. Limiter H-modes with line averaged electron densities up to 1.7×10²⁰m^–3 have been obtained in elongated D-shaped plasmas with 360 kAI _P600 kA.Presented at 17^th Symposium Plasma Physics and Technology, Prague, June 13–16, 1995.This work was partly supported by the Fonds National Suisse de la Recherche Scientifique.     

Towards slow μ− production via muon catalyzed fusion

Slow ^– production via dd-CF using a two-layer arrangement is investigated. To determine its feasibility, experimental measurements are now in progress using the muonic X-ray detection method. The following experimental steps are being considered: (1) measurement of the number of ^– stopped inside a solid H₂/D₂ layer by detecting p K X-rays, (2) hot d emission detection by placing a secondary target at a distance of 10–30 mm from the layer and by detecting specific delayed X-rays, (3) measurement of the disappearance of d emission as the added D₂ layer is increased, (4) dd-CF measurement by detecting fusion protons, and (5) slow ^– emission detection. Results of the initial test experiment are presented.     

Long-range order in the XXZ model

The existence of long-range order is proved under certain conditions for the antiferromagnetic quantum spin system with anisotropic interactions (XXZ model) on the simple cubic or the square lattice. In three dimensions (the simple cubic lattice), finite long-range order exists at sufficiently low temperatures for any anisotropy(0) ifS1, and for 0<0.29 (XY-like) or>1.19 (Ising-like) ifS=1/2. In two dimensions (the square lattice), ground-state long-range order exists under the following conditions: for any anisotropy (0) ifS3/2; 0<0.032 (XY-like) or 0.67<<1.34 (almost isotropic) or>1.80 (Ising-like) ifS=1;>1.93 (Ising-like) ifS=1/2. We conjecture that the two-dimensional spin-1/2XY model (=0) has finite ground-state long-range order. Numerical evidence supporting this conjecture is given.

The damping of particle oscillations in a general field with periodic structure I

A liner theory is derived, discussing the dynamics of particles in the region of an equilibrium orbit in a general electromagnetic field, which forms a periodic system. The total particle damping is determined from the Hamiltonian found and from dissipative forces brought out by a classical reaction radiation. Relations for the damping of the synchrotron oscillations are derived from the study of the appropriate phase space.

     

The distribution of dislocations in silicon iron single-crystals grown from the melt

The distribution of dislocations in a crystal of an Fe-4.2% Si alloy prepared from the melt is studied microscopically and, by X-ray diffraction after rendering them visible by anodic dissolving. The dislocations are also studied inside the crystal by successively grinding the surface. The density of the dislocations inside the blocks is determined by calculation from microphotos, the density of the dislocations forming the boundaries between the blocks by measuring the angles between the lattices of neighbouring blocks. It is found that the dislocations are distributed very unevenly in the crystal and most of them form complicated boundaries of blocks, similarly as with ionic crystals. The distribution of dislocations is also discussed from the point of view of their formation and conclusions are reached as to the preparation of single crystals having a smaller number of dislocations.

The MPE/UCB far-infrared imaging Fabry-Perot interferometer (FIFI)

FIFI is an imaging spectrometer with two or three Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) in series for airborne astronomical observations in the far-infrared range (=40...200m). It employs 5×5 arrays of photoconducting detectors and offers spectral resolutions as small as 2km/s. Resolution and bandwidth can be set over a wide range to match a variety of astronomical sources. Cryogenic optics minimizes thermal background radiation and provides for in-flight step tunable spatial resolution. At 158 m wavelength the background-limited NEP is 3 × 10^-15W/Hz at 40 km/s resolution and with two FPI's; with three FPI's the expected NEP is 10^-15WHz at 5 km/s resolution.The frequency-chopping mode of the high-resolution Fabry-Perot allows for line detection in extended objects. Absolute internal flux calibration ensures adequate flat fielding of the array elements.     

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.

Asymptotic behavior of the density for two-particle annihilating exclusion

We consider a stochastic process which presents an evolution of particles of two types,A andB, onZ ^d with annihilations between particles of opposite types. Initially, at each site ofZ ^d, independently of the other sites, we put a particle with probability 2<1 and assign to it one of two types with equal chances. Each particle evolves onZ ^d in the following manner: independently from the others, it waits an exponential time with mean 1, chooses one of its neighboring sites on the latticeZ ^d with equal probabilities, and jumps to the site chosen. If the site to which a particle attempts to move is occupied by another particle of the same type, the jump is suppressed; if it is occupied by a particle of the opposite type, then both are annihilated and disappear from the system. The considered process may serve as a model for the chemical reactionA+Binert. Let (t) denote the density of particles in this process at timet. We prove that there exist absolute finite constantsc(d) andC(d) such that for all sufficiently larget,c(d)t ^–d/4 (t)C(d)t ^–d/4 in the dimensionsd4 andc(d)t ^–1 (t)C(d)t ^–1 in all higher dimensions. This completes and makes more precise the results obtained by us earlier and shows that asymptotically the density behaves like that in a similar process called two-particle annihilating random walks which was studied by Bramson and Lebowitz. Our proofs are based on the approach developed in their and our works. We use the basic properties of random walk and various tools which have been designed to study simple symmetric exclusion processes.     

Instabilities of plasma with intense azimuthal streams and radially dependent density

The flute instabilities of a cold magnetoactive plasma with radially dependent density and strong azimuthal streams of particles (ions) are studied. The effect of non-zero perpendicular temperatureT of the ions on these oscillations is investigated. For systems withT 0, the continuation of drift-cyclotron instability in a strongly inhomogeneous plasma is found. Further, the stability of electron plasma oscillations (² _pe ² cos² ) is investigated.The authors are indebted to V. KopeckS, J. Teichmann and J. Vàclavik for discussions.     

Fuzzy quantum logic II. The logics of unsharp quantum mechanics

A survey of the main results of the Italian group about the logics of unsharp quantum mechanics is presented. In particular partial ordered structures playing with respect to effect operators (linear bounded operatorsF on a Hilbert space such that, 0¦F²) the role played by orthomodular posets with respect to orthogonal projections (corresponding to sharp effects) are analyzed. These structures are generally characterized by the splitting of standard orthocomplementation on projectors into two nonusual orthocomplementations (afuzzy-like and anintuitionistic-like) giving rise to different kinds of Brouwer-Zadeh (BZ) posets: de Morgan BZ posets, BZ^* posets, and BZ³ posets. Physically relevant generalizations of ortho-pair semantics (paraconsistent, regular paraconsistent, and minimal quantum logics) are introduced and their relevance with respect to the logic of unsharp quantum mechanics are discussed.
