On the equivalence of different order parameters for Ising ferromagnets

In a recent note Barber showed, for a spin-1/2 Ising system with ferromagnetic pair interactions, that some critical exponents of the triplet order parameter _{i j k} are the same as those of the magnetization _i . Here we prove such results for all odd correlations and dispense with the requirement of pair interactions. We also prove that the critical temperatureT _c , defined as the temperature below which there is a spontaneous magnetization, is for fixed even spin interactionsJ _e independent of the way in which the odd interactionsJ _o approach zero from above. This is achieved by using only the simplest, Griffiths-Kelley-Sherman (GKS), inequalities, which apply to the most general many-spin, ferromagnetic interactions.Research supported in part by NSF Grant #MPS 75-20638.     

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.

On the theory of ferromagnetic thin films

As is known, the second approximation in the calculation of the partition function by the traces method of ferromagnetic thin films gives wrong results for the coordination number equal to eight. In order to obtain correct results even for this case, the third order approximation of the partition function is developed and thus the magnetic properties of body-centred cubic iron thin films are studied. The dependence of the Curie temperature on the thickness, for different values of the ratio between the anisotropy constant and the exchange energy between two neighbours, is discussed. A value can be chosen for this ratio such that the thin film becomes ferromagnetic only for a thickness greater than a definite value.

Thes-f model with Coulomb repulsion: Thermodynamics of two atomic cluster. Spin 1/2

A cluster of two atoms described by thes-f model with Coulomb repulsion has been considered. The interaction between localized 4f electrons (S=1/2) is taken in the molecular field approximation. The thermodynamic quantities like magnetization, specific heat and correlation functions n , n , S ^z n , S ^z n , S ^z (n –n ), n n and S ⁺ a ⁺ a as functions of temperature are presented for different band fillingN=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2. The dependence of Curie temperature onN is calculated. The phase diagram forN=1 (T=0K) shows the possibility of existence of two phases: paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.The Curie temperature and the specific heat as functions ofN exhibit similar trends as found in experiments on doped magnetic semiconductors.     

Particle-like configurations of the electromagnetic field: An extension of de Broglie's ideas

Localised configurations of the free electromagnetic field are constructed, possessing properties of massive, spinning, relativistic particles. In an inertial frame, each configuration travels in a straight line at constant speed, less than the speed of lightc, while slowly spreading. It eventually decays into pulses of radiation travelling at speedc. Each configuration has a definite rest mass and internal angular momentum, or spin. Each can be of electric or magnetic type, according as the radial component of the magnetic or electric field vanishes in the rest frame, and each has an antiparticle. Any such configuration, of electric or magnetic type, is characterized in part by a set of labels (, ₀, ,l, m), where ₀ is the mean of the angular frequencies of the plane waves making up the configuration, is the variance of those frequencies, is a positive constant with dimensions of action, andl, m are angular momentum quantum numbers withl a positive integer andm an integer such that ml. The rest energy of the particle is ₀, its spin is m, and its lifetime is of the order of 1/. Its antiparticle has ₀ replaced by –₀.     

The low-temperature phase of Kac-Ising models

We analyze the low-temperature phase of ferromagnetic Kax-Ising models in dimensionsd2. We show that if the range of interactions is ^–1, then two disjoint translation-invariant Gibbs states exist if the inverse temperature satisfies –1^N, where =d(1–)/(2d+2)(d+1), for any >0. The proof involves the blocking procedure usual for Kac models and also a contour representation for the resulting long-range (almost) continuous-spin system which is suitable for the use of a variant of the Peierls argument.     

A unified theory of matter. I. The fundamental idea

The Lorentz transformation is derived without assuming that the velocity of light is a constant. This suggests that the constantc which appears in the transformation has a deeper significance than heretofore commonly assumed. It is hypothesized that there exists, in all of physical reality, velocities of only one magnitude. The magnitude isc, the speed of light in vacuum. This hypothesis forces us to view a fundamental particle as an extended object and matter in general as a field (t, r, ), which we give the generic name stuff. An important feature of the field is that at each spacetime point(t, r) stuff travels in all directions with speedc. In order to elucidate the nature of (t, r, ), the equations determining for a one-dimensional world are derived and solved. Fundamental particles are shown to exist and their structure is obtained.A private communication; not an official publication of the National Bureau of Standards.     

Photo-luminescence and growth defects in ZnS: Cu monocrystals

The paper describes microscopic investigation into the spectral distribution of photo-luminescence and its polarization on hexagonal ZnS monocrystals in relation to the structural defects of such crystals. These observations, as well as birefringent observations, show that the values of the birefringence and the degree of polarization in different stripes of the same crystal are the same within the limits of observational errors.

МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ЭЛЕКТ РОННО-ОПТИЧЕСКИХ СИС ТЕМ С ОСЕВОЙ СИММЕТРИЕЙ П РИ ПОМОЩИ СЕТИ СОПРОТИВЛЕНИЙ

The paper explains the theory of modelling electrostatic fields by a resistance network. The conditions, which the resistance network must satisfy, are derived and the question of modelling electrodes of different shapes is solved. The finished network and the results obtained on it when modelling a jet for a linear h-f accelerator of electrons are described. Particular attention is paid to the influence of a space charge, the modelling of which is an advantage of this method.

Les absorbants de son resonants

Résumé Dans la présente étude, on trouve un bref résumé des travaux de l'auteur, de ses collègues et collaborateurs, concernant l'utilisation des résonateurs dans l'acoustique architecturale. On explique tout d'abord le problème de l'inpluence des résonateurs sur la durée de la réverbération des salles. Se basant sur des considérations théoriques, l'auteur déduit le critère de l'emplacement le plus favorable des matières absorbant le son dans le résonateur même et discute la possibilité de l'absorption totale du son par le résonateur. Dans le cas des systèmes de résonateurs pareils disposés régulièrement sur les murs, le diapason pouvant être obtenu d'une importante absorption est relativement faible. En se servant de systèmes résonants d'absorption comportant plusieurs couches de résonateurs, reliés en série, le diapason de l'absorption importante peut être notablement élargi. L'auteur explique la corrélation du coefficient d'absorption et de l'angle d'incidence de l'onde sonore. En conclusion, on mentionne des exemples de l'utilisation pratique des résonateurs d'absorption les plus simples pour obtenir la caractéristique de l'absorption de fréquence exigée. On discute aussi le problème de l'influence des vibrations simultanées de la paroi extérieure du système de résonance sur la caractéristique de l'absorption du son.

Long-time tails in lattice Lorentz gases

We consider a Lorentz gas on a square lattice with a fraction c of scattering sites. The collision laws are deterministic (fixed mirror model) or stochastic (with transmission, reflection, and deflection probabilities ,, and respectively). If all mirrors are parallel, the mirror model is exactly solvable. For the general case a self-consistent ring kinetic equation is used to calculate the longtime tails of the velocity correlation function (0) (t) and the tensor correlation Q(0)Q(t) withQ= _{x y} . Both functions showt ^–2 tails, as opposed to the continuous Lorentz gas, where the tails are respectivelyt ^–2 andt ^–3. Inclusion of the self-consistent ring collisions increases the low-density coefficient of the tail in (0)(t) by 30–100% as compared to the simple ring collisions, depending on the model parameters.     

Wave chaos in quantum systems with point interaction

We study perturbations of the quantized version ₀ of integrable Hamiltonian systems by point interactions. We relate the eigenvalues of to the zeros of a certain meromorphic function . Assuming the eigenvalues of ₀ are Poisson distributed, we get detailed information on the joint distribution of the zeros of and give bounds on the probability density for the spacings of eigenvalues of . Our results confirm the wave chaos phenomenon, as different from the quantum chaos phenomenon predicted by random matrix theory.SFB 237 Essen-Bochum-Düsseldorf     

Atomic versus ionized states in many-particle systems and the spectra of reduced density matrices: A model study

We study the spectrum of appropriate reduced density matrices for a model consisting of one quantum particle (electron) in a classical fluid (of protons) at thermal equilibrium. The quantum and classical particles interact by a shortrange, attractive potential such that the quantum particle can form atomic bound states with a single classical particle. We consider two models for the classical component: an ideal gas and the cell model of a fluid. We find that when the system is at low density the spectrum of the electron-proton pair density matrix has, in addition to a continuous part, a discrete part that is associated with atomic bound states. In the high-density limit the discrete eigenvalues disappear in the case of the cell model, indicating the existence of pressure ionization or a Mott effect according to a general criterion for characterizing bound and ionized electron-proton pairs in a plasma proposed recently by M. Girardeau. For the ideal gas model, on the other hand, eigenvalues remain even at high density.     

ВЛИЯНИЕ ПЕРЕХОДНЫХ Э ФФЕКТОВ НА ИЗМЕРЕНИЕ КРИВЫХ НАМАГНИЧЕННОСТИ КОМ МУТАЦИОННЫМ БАЛЛИСТИЧЕСКИМ МЕТО ДОМ

The paper gives an analysis of the conditions in the primary circuit of equipment for measuring the magnetization curves of ferromagnets by the ballistic method. It investigates the influence of transitional current states caused by sudden changes in the circuit parameters (commutation, switching off and on of circuit), on the magnetic state of the ferromagnet. In this connection it points out the disadvantages of using the commutational ballistic method compared with the summation ballistic method for measuring the magnetization curves of ferromagnets with rectangular hysteresis loop and very short magnetization reversal time.

The connection between low-gradient form of the positive column in oxygen and moving striations

The method of sliding photomultipliers was used to study the connection between two forms of the positive column in oxygen — the so-called low-gradientT-form and the highgradientH-form — and the presence of moving striations in the positive column. It was shown that in theT-form of a positive column striations are always present which move from the cathode to anode with a velocity of several thousand metres/sec. The highgradient form of theH-positive column, on the other hand, is not striated. The non-single-valuedness of the value of the longitudinal electric field in a discharge in oxygen is thus explained by the presence or absence of phenomena of a time variable character.
