Magnetic anisotropy in thin ferromagnetic films

The magnetic properties of thin ferromagnetic films are studied taking into account the magnetic anisotropy term in the Hamiltonian. In the second approximation equations are obtained for the magnetization of the monatomic layers parallel to the surface of the thin film. From these equations one obtains the Curie temperature, which depends on the thickness of the thin film and the ratio a between the anisotropy constant and the exchange energy between two neighbours. A value can be chosen for such that the thin film becomes ferromagnetic only for a thickness greater than a definite value and in this manner the theoretical results can be fitted to the experimental data. The situation in cobalt thin films is dealt with in particular.

Feynman integral and complex classical trajectories

Let _t be an analytic solution of the Schrödinger equation with the initial condition . Let _t be the solution of the Schrödinger equation with the initial condition =, where is an analytic function. When 0, then _t (x) _t (x)¹ ( _t (x)), where _t (x) trajectory starting from x. We relate this result to Feynman's sum over trajectories and complex stochastic differential equations.     

The van der Waals limit for classical systems. I. A variational principle

We consider the thermodynamic pressurep(, ) of a classical system of particles with the two-body interaction potentialq(r)+ ^v K(r), where is the number of space dimensions, is a positive parameter, and is the chemical potential. The temperature is not shown in the notation. We prove rigorously, for hard-core potentialsq(r) and for a very general class of functionsK(s), that the limit 0 of the pressurep(, ) exists and is given by where the limit and the supremum can be interchanged. Here is a certain class of nonnegative, Riemann integrable functions,D is a cube of volume |D|, anda ⁰() is the free energy density of a system withK=0 and density . A similar result is proved for the free energy.     

A new procedure for thin-film deposition by solution spraying

The major reasons for the low photovoltaic efficiency of Cu₂S/CdS cells, in which the CdS film is deposited by spraying, are due to small film thicknesses which do not exceed 4 m and the small average grain size which ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 m.A new experimental solution spraying procedure is described that prevents both restrictions by controlling the substrate temperature. Average grain sizes of more than 1 m are obtained.Work supported by Ministere Pubblica Istruzione and Centro Regionale Ricerche Nucleari e di Struttura della Materia     

Measurement of the refractive index and optical absorption spectra of epitaxial bismuth substituted yttrium iron garnet films at uv to near-ir wavelengths

Refractive-index and optical-absorption spectra of Bi-substituted yttrium iron garnet films, epitaxially grown by liquid-phase epitaxy, have been measured in the spectral regime 0.26 m1.9 m by thin-film interference for 0.52 m and by ellipsometry for0.52 m. The Y_3–x–y Bi _x Pb _y Fe_5–z Pt _z O₁₂ films contain bismuth in the range Ox 1.42, lead in the range 0.01 y0.08 and platinum in the range 0.005<=z0.03. There is satisfactory coincidence between the results from ellipsometry and thin-film interference in the overlapping wavelength region. The materials investigated are the same as reported earlier from this laboratory in ter mof their magnetic and magnetooptic properties.     

Point defects on (−π)-wedge disclination in nematics

The structure of a point defect in the director field near (–)-wedge disclination line singularity in a thick sample of a nematic liquid crystal is approximately described. The elastic interaction energy of two point defects of the opposite sign is evaluated. There is always the attraction between two opposite point defects, as expected. Nevertheless, with the defect separation their attraction force decreases. When the attraction force is of the same order as a viscous force acting against a free molecular rotation, the movement of point defects is very slow. For example, the defect separation at which the relative velocity of point defects is about 0.025 m/day was estimated as 160 m.     

An Approach to Linear Scalable DH-PHEMT Model for Millimeterwave Application

This paper describes a scalable small-signal equivalent circuit for 0.25 m gatelength Double Heterojunction delta-doped PHEMTs. The scaling rules for all elements except the pad capacitances and bondwire inductances have been determined. Good agreement is obtained between simulation results and measured results for 2 times 20 m , 2 times 40 m, 2 times 60 m, 2 times 100 m gate width (number of gate fingers times unit gate width) DH PHEMT.     

Determination of the Coefficient of Laser Radiation Reflection from Dielectric Targets in Vacuum

Weak “phase transitions” in asymptotic properties of lattice sums

Two classes ofn-dimensional lattice sums are shown to exhibit a weak form of a phase transition in their asymptotic properties. Both classes depend on two parameters such that the leading term in an asymptotic limit of one parameter is independent of the structure of the lattice in one domain of the second parameter and dependent on the structure in an adjacent domain, with a boundary point, or transition temperature, between the two domains.     

Light absorption in laser-heated cavities

The absorption of laser light in 0.25–1 mm diameter gold cavities, irradiated for the purpose of generating high-temperature blackbody radiation with intense laser radiation of either =0.44 m or =1.3 m wavelength, was investigated. For =0.44 m radiation the absorption exceeded 0.9 for all conditions, but dropped to only 0.3 for the smallest cavities irradiated at =1.3 m. Entrance hole and cavity filling with plasma seems important for the understanding of the observations.     

The lattice deformation and the energy of antiphase boundaries in Fe-Si alloys

The lattice deformation across the antiphase boundary and the energy of both types (a/2111 anda(100) of antiphase boundaries lying in {110} plane are calculated using a series of three interatomic potentials fitted to experimental data. It is shown that the relaxation of atomic planes in the vicinity of antiphase boundary is important for thea/2111 antiphase boundary and is negligible for a 100 antiphase boundary in the DO₃ structure.The author is grateful to Dr. F.Kroupa and to Dr. A.Gemperle for valuable discussions.     

Calculation of the force-dipole tensor for hydrogen in palladium and platinum

The force-dipole tensorP , also known as the elastic dipole and the double-force tensor, is calculated for hydrogen dissolved in palladium and platinum, using a microscopic model for the interaction potentials; the so-called effective medium theory. The force-dipole tensor describes the long range displacement field induced by hydrogen dissolved in the host metal lattice in the dilute limit. It can be related to the mean elastic hydrogen-hydrogen interaction energy and the critical temperatureT _c for the gas-liquid phase transition observed in systems such as PdH _x and NbH _x . Comparison show a fair agreement between theoretical and experimental values for the force-dipole tensor.

The distribution of ions and their valencies in manganese ferrites II. Mn1+xFe2-xO4+y ferrites

The influence of the oxygen content on the saturation magnetic moment and the Curie temperature was studied experimentally on non-stoichiometric manganese ferrites having a varying excess of manganese. Taking into consideration the results of studying the electrical conductivity and magnetic relaxation effects, a model was elaborated for the distribution of ions in these ferrites, which starts out from the distribution of ions in stoichiometric manganese ferrite. The experimental results obtained by us and those of other authors confirm the justification of this model.

Problems in the interpretation of cosmic ray nuclear interactions

Difficulties in the interpretation of high-energy nuclear interactions are discussed and explanations suggested on the basis of successive or composite nucleon-nucleus collisions, the first predominant below a few 10 ¹¹ eV,the second for higher energies. In the energy region up to about 10 ¹¹ eVsome discrepancies in the frequency of production of strange particles, the small interaction cross-section of iron etc. are explained, taking into account secondary intranuclear collisions. The tunnel model of Heitler and McCusker is replaced by assuming a cone-shaped interaction volume (funnel) even at the highest primary energies. A number of consequences concerning the energies of the primary particles, the multiplicity and asymmetry in the angular distribution of secondaries, coefficient of inelasticity etc. are discussed.

Mobility and non-separability

A mobility phenomenon is typical for a large class of non-linear evolutions. It is shown that the mobility can be responsible for a malignant form of quantum mechanical non separability of two correlated systems. An explicit example based on Weinberg's non linear quantum mechanics is considered. We show that in such a theory a transfer of information without a transfer of energy is possible and discuss physical roots of this phenomenon. In Polchinski's approach this effect is not present.1 Permanent address: Laboratory of Dielectrics and Organic Semiconductors, Technical University of Gdask, Gdask, Poland.
