Influence of ageing on change in electrical properties of semiconducting systems of Bi₂Te₃-Bi₂Se₃

The paper describes the effect of ageing observed on a semiconducting system Bi₂Te₃ — Bi₂Se₃. It is shown that the change in electrical conductivity and thermoelectric force, which takes place during ageing, is caused by the change in concentration of the free electrons. The influence of this process on the efficiency of equipment employing the Peltier effect is analyzed.

     

Some critical exponent inequalities for percolation

For a large class of independent (site or bond, short- or long-range) percolation models, we show the following: (1) If the percolation densityP (p) is discontinuous atp _c , then the critical exponent (defined by the divergence of expected cluster size, nP _n (p) (P _c –P)^– asp p _c ) must satisfy 2. (2) or (defined analogously to, but asp p _c ) and [P _n (p _c ) (n ^–1–1/) asn ] must satisfy, 2(1 – 1/). These inequalities for improve the previously known bound 1(Aizenman and Newman), since 2 (Aizenman and Barsky). Additionally, result 1may be useful, in standardd-dimensional percolation, for proving rigorously (ind>2) that, as expected,P _x has no discontinuity atp _c .     

On classical models of Spin

We discuss two classical situations that lead to probabilities characteristic for systems with spin-1/2. (a) Pitowsky model: It is demonstrated that the definition of spin functions does not imply which circle (a parallel or a great circle) on the sphere should be taken as a probability space in calculation of conditional probabilities. Pitowsky's choice of parallels must be formulated as an assumption about the model. It is shown that the model explicitly avoiding this difficulty is possible and no contradiction with the Bell Theorem is found. The modification is based on a new pathological decomposition of the sphere and belongs to a class of hidden variable theories with undetected signals. (b) Aerts model: We show the importance of the polarization effect of the measurements for the sake of obtaining a non-Kolmogorovian probability model. It is also shown that the conditioning by a change of state leads in general to the non-Kolmogorovian probability calculus.2. For example, let _{Cw,z xCw,z}µ_c ({y C _w,z S ₊|(x,y) /2})=µ _c(C _w,z S ₊)= 1/2µ _c(C _w,z). Pitowsky spheres with white points distributed onC _w,z in this way exist. The proof is exactly analogous to this of Theorem 1 in [1]. Then (**) = 1 -/, if one takesC _w,z as the probability space. This example seems very instructive.3. If the chargeq falls down on some point then it clearly has not fallen down on another one. Having given a result of a measurement we cannot, within the model with polarization, talk in a sensible way about its alternative: We can think either aboutsuccessive measurements (then the Bell inequality is not derivable) or ask What would have happened if..., but then we deal with a different problem (in Aerts' terminology [2b] this is anobservation) and obtain again Eq. (8) (there is no complementarity but there is no model of spin either).     

Derivation of the Tully—Fisher Law: Doubts About the Necessity and Existence of Halo Dark Matter

For disk galaxies the fourth power of the circular velocity ⁴ _c of stars around thecore of the galaxy is proportional to the luminosity L, ⁴ _c L (Tully—Fisher law).Since L is proportional to the mass M of the galaxy, it follows that ⁴ _c M.Newtonian mechanics, however, yields ² _c = GM/r for a circular motion. In orderto rectify this big difference, astronomers assume the existence of dark matter.We derive the equation of motion of a star moving in the central field of a galaxyand show that, for a circular motion, it yields a term of the form ⁴ _c GMc/,where G is Newton's gravitational constant, c is the speed of light, and is theHubble time. This puts in doubt the existence of halo dark matter for galaxies.     

Some remarks on braided group reconstruction and braided doubles

The cross coproduct braided group AutC)B is obtained by Tannaka-Krein reconstruction from C ^B C for a braided group B in braided category C. We apply this construction to obtain partial solutions to two problems in braided group theory, namely the tensor problem and the braided double. We obtain AutC) Aut(C) Aut(C) Aut(C) and higher braided group spin chains. The example B(R) B(R) ... B(R) is described explicitly by R-matrix relations. We also obtain Aut(C) Aut(C)* as a dual quasitriangular codouble braided group by reconstruction from the dual category C° C. General braided double crossproducts B C are also considered.     

The classical limit of quantum partition functions

We extend Lieb's limit theorem [which asserts that SO(3) quantum spins approachS ² classical spins asL] to general compact Lie groups. We also discuss the classical limit for various continuum systems. To control the compact group case, we discuss coherent states built up from a maximal weight vector in an irreducible representation and we prove that every bounded operator is an integral of projections onto coherent vectors (i.e. every operator has diagonal form).Supported by USNSF Grant MCS-78-01885     

Stochastic Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices on the strip

We discuss stochastic Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices with wave functions, taking values in ^l so there are 2l Lyaponov exponents ₁..._l0 _l+1..._2l =–₁. Our results include the fact that if ₁=0 on a set positive measure, thenV is deterministic and one that says that {E|exactly 2j 's are zero} is the essential support of the a.c. spectrum of multiplicity 2j.Research partially supported by USNSF under grant DMS-8416049     

Direct observation of the second-order Stark effect of theX-B transition in molecular iodine

The second-order Stark shift of the components of the hyperfine structure of the transition¹ _g ⁺ ( = 0,j = 13, 15) ³ _ou ⁺ ( = 43,j = 12, 16) (of molecular iodine have been studied by means of saturated absorption spectroscopy in an external cell with the I₂ vapour located in an electric field. The anisotropic polarizabilities of the upper and lower levels together with the difference between the isotropic polarizabilities of the levels of the transition have been obtained.     

Hyperbolic initial-boundary-value problem for magnetic flux compression by plane liners

Based on the (relativistic) Maxwell equations with displacement current E/t, the initial-boundary-value problem for the compression of an initially homogeneous magnetic fieldB={0,B(x,t),0} between a fixed liner atx=0 and a detonation-driven liner atx=s(t) is solved analytically. By homogenizing the boundary conditions at the moving boundary, the transient electromagnetic fields are shown to be a superposition of quasistatic elliptic (E/t=0) and hyperbolic (E/t0) wave solutions. The wave equation is solved by a Fourier expansion in time-dependent eigenfunctionsf _n =f _n [nx/s(t)] for the variable region 0xs(t), where the Fourier amplitudes _n (t) are determined by coupled differential equations of second order. It is concluded that the conventional elliptic flux compression theories (E/t=0) hold approximately for nonrelativistic liner speeds , whereas the hyperbolic theory (E/t0) is valid for arbitrary liner speeds .     

Kinetic equation in the kinetic region of the dilute and nonuniform electron plasma

Mori's scaling method is used to derive the kinetic equation for a dilute, nonuniform electron plasma in the kinetic region where the space-time cutoff (b, t _c) satisfies _Dbl _f , _D t _{c f} , with _D the Debye length, _D ^–1= _p the plasma frequency, andl _f and _f the mean free path and time, respectively. The kinetic equation takes account of the nonuniformity of the order ofl _f and _D for the single-and the two-particle distribution function, respectively. Thus the Vlasov term associated with the two-particle distribution function is retained. This kinetic equation is deduced from the kinetic equation in the coherent region obtained by Morita, Mori, and Tokuyama, where the space-time cutoff of the coherent region satisfies _Dbr ₀, _Dt _{c 0}, withr ₀ the Landau length and ₀ the corresponding time scale.     

Phase segregation dynamics in particle systems with long range interactions. I. Macroscopic limits

We present and discuss the derivation of a nonlinear nonlocal integrodifferential equation for the macroscopic time evolution of the conserved order parameter (r, t) of a binary alloy undergoing phase segregation. Our model is ad-dimensional lattice gas evolving via Kawasaki exchange with respect to the Gibbs measure for a Hamiltonian which includes both short-range (local) and long-range (nonlocal) interactions. The nonlocal part is given by a pair potential ^dJ(|x–y|), >0 x and y in ^d, in the limit 0. The macroscopic evolution is observed on the spatial scale ^–1 and time scale ^–2, i.e., the density (r, t) is the empirical average of the occupation numbers over a small macroscopic volume element centered atr=x. A rigorous derivation is presented in the case in which there is no local interaction. In a subsequent paper (Part II) we discuss the phase segregation phenomena in the model. In particular we argue that the phase boundary evolutions, arising as sharp interface limits of the family of equations derived in this paper, are the same as the ones obtained from the corresponding limits for the Cahn-Hilliard equation.     

Mixing properties,differentiability of the free energy and the central limit theorem for a pure phase in the Ising model at low temperature

For the Ising model with nearest neighbour interaction it is shown that the spin correlations _{A B} - _{A B} decrease exponentially asd(A, B) in a pure phase when the temperature is well belowT _c. This is used to prove that the free energyF(,h) is infinitely differentiable in and has one sided derivatives inh of all orders forh=0. The bounds are also used to prove that the central limit theorem holds for several variables such as e.g. the total energy and the total magnetization of the system, the limit distribution being gaussian with variances determined by the second derivatives ofF(,h).     

Kac-Moody symmetry of generalized non-linear Schrödinger equations

The classical non-linear Schrödinger equation associated with a symmetric Lie algebra =km is known to possess a class of conserved quantities which from a realization of the algebrak []. The construction is now extended to provide a realization of the Kac-Moody algebrak[, ^–1] (with central extension). One can then define auxiliary quantities to obtain the full algebra [, ^–1]. This leads to the formal linearization of the system.     

Anisotropy of the low temperature resistivity of hexagonal single crystalline spin glass systems

The impurity contribution to the resistivity in zero field (T) of dilute hexagonal single crystals of ZnMn, CdMn and MgMn has been studied in the mK range on samples cut parallel () and perpendicular () to thec-axis, using a SQUID technique for the measurements. Typical spin glass behavior is found in (T) as well as (T) for all alloys, with Kondo like logarithmic increases at higher temperatures and maxima atT _m at lower temperatures, indicating the influence of impurity interactions. The differences in the corresponding isotropic resistivity _poly(T) between the three systems can qualitatively be understood within the framework of a theoretical model by Larsen, describing (T) as a function of universal quantitiesT/T _K and _RKKY/T _K , where _RKKY is the RKKY-interaction strength andT _K the Kondo temperature. With respect to the two lattice directions studied, the behavior of (T and (T is anisotropic in the Kondo regime as well as in the range where ordering becomes important. While the anisotropy in the Kondo slope can be understood by an anisotropic unitarity limit, the understanding of the anisotropy in region where impurity interactions are important remains problematic.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. S. Methfessel on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

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.     

Real-space renormalization group for directed percolation system

We use the recently proposed real-space renormalization group method to study the critical behavior of directed percolation system in two dimensions. The correlation length exponents and are found to be 1.76 and 1.15. These results are in good agreements with the best known values.     

Additivity of vector gleason measures

We study the degree of additivity of orthogonal Hilbert-space-valued measures on the latticeL(H) of all projections acting on a Hilbert spaceH. We present criteria for such measures to be completely additive and we establish the connection between the additivity of orthogonal measures and the size of almost disjoint families on dimH. [For example, we show that everyH-valued orthogonal measure is weakly-additive iff (dimH) > dim H]. As a corollary we see that finitely additive orthogonal measures distinguish dimensions of Hilbert spaces (this can be viewed as a generalization of a theorem by Kruszynski). As a further corollary, we obtain that, for cardinals, with >,3, there is no Jordan homomorphism from a typeI -factor into a typeI -factor. Finally, we show that every latticeL(H) with (dimH) = dimH admits a nonzero free orthogonal measure with values inH. Our results contribute to the noncommutative probability theory and also may find applications in the theory of the representation ofC ^*-algebras.     

Differential calculus on quantum spheres

Three-dimensional differential calculus on quantum spheres S _infc ^sup2 ,]–1, 1[{0}, c[0, ], is introduced and investigated. Spectra of generalized Laplacians are found. These operators are expressed by generalized directional derivatives. Classical limits of these objects are obtained and a simple approach to quantum mechanics on a quantum sphere is presented.     

Strict inequalities for some critical exponents in two-dimensional percolation

For 2D percolation we slightly improve a result of Chayes and Chayes to the effect that the critical exponent for the percolation probability isstrictly less than 1. The same argument is applied to prove that ifL():={(x, y):x=r cos, y=r sin for some r0, or} and():=limpp _c [log(p–p _c )]^–1 log P_cr {itO is connected to by an occupied path inL()}, then() is strictly decreasing in on [0, 2]. Similarly, lim_n [–logn]^–1 logP _cr {itO is connected by an occupied path inL()() to the exterior of [–n, n]×[–n, n] is strictly decreasing in on [0, 2].
