Averaging the electron velocity in three-dimensional models of microwave electron devices in electron gap synthesis

Possible ways of averaging the electron velocity in three-dimensional high-perveance electron gaps are compared. The method proposed for averaging the electron velocity is the most suitable for electron gap synthesis. An estimate is made of the error that occurs in the velocity averaging by this method as a result of the finite value of the beam-focusing magnetic field.St. Petersburg Electrical Engineering Institute of Communications.

Effective electron–electron and electron–phonon interactions in the Hubbard–Holstein model

We investigate the interplay between the electron–electron and the electron–phonon interaction in the Hubbard–Holstein model. We implement the flow-equation method to investigate within this model the effect of correlation on the electron–phonon effective coupling and, conversely, the effect of phonons in the effective electron–electron interaction. Using this technique we obtain analytical momentum-dependent expressions for the effective couplings and we study their behavior for different physical regimes. In agreement with other works on this subject, we find that the electron–electron attraction mediated by phonons in the presence of Hubbard repulsion is peaked at low transferred momenta. The role of the characteristic energies involved is also analyzed.     

Propagation of electron cyclotron waves in the presence of anisotropic electron distributions

The effects of the anisotropy of the electron distribution on the propagation and the absorption of electron cyclotron waves propagating perpendicularly to the external magnetic field, are analyzed. Considerable variations of the absorption with the anisotropy are found for the ordinary mode at the fundamental cyclotron frequency and the extraordinary mode at the second harmonic.     

An auger electron spectroscopic investigation of the electron states of copper alloys

L₃VV Auger transitions of copper alloys show a feature due to a band-like states, the shape and intensity of which depend on the composition. The energy separation between this feature and the L₃M_4·5M_4·5 peak increases progressively with Cu concentration.     

Ferromagnetism of the electron gas

The ground-state energy of the ferromagnetic electron gas is calculated for the relative polarizationζ=0−1 and the interelectron separationr _s =5−12. The method consists in describing the electron gas approximately by a quadratic boson Hamiltonian, and contains the random-phase approximation as a special case. Numerical studies show that in both the random-phase and the present approximations the paramagnetic state has the lowest energy: the energy increases withζ for all values ofr _s considered. In the present approximation instabilities are found to occur forr _s above a critical value, due to exchange processes of finite momentum transfers. Forζ=0 this critical value ofr _s is 9.4; it decreases with increasingζ. However, the fully-polarized state (ζ=1), which lies above the rest, is always stable. The conclusions are as follows: (1) Forr _s <9.4 the electron gas is paramagnetic. (2) Atr _s =9.4 it goes over to the fully-polarized ferromagnetic state. (3) This phase transition requires an energy absorption of 0.03 rydberg per electron. (4) The fully-polarized state is not obtainable as the limitζ→1.

电子入射角度对聚酰亚胺二次电子发射系数的影响

采用具有负偏压收集极的二次电子发射系数测试系统, 对聚酰亚胺样品的二次电子发射系数与入射电子角度和入射电子能量的关系进行了测量. 测量结果表明, 在电子小角度入射样品的情况下, 随着入射角度的增加, 二次电子发射系数单调增加, 并符合传统的规律, 但是在电子大角度入射时, 却与此不符合. 测量显示, 出现偏差时对应的临界电子入射角度随着入射电子能量的降低而减小. 采用简化的电子弹性散射过程和卢瑟福弹性散射截面公式对这种偏差的出现进行了分析, 并推导出修正后的二次电子发射系数的计算公式. 修正后的二次电子发射系数的计算结果更加符合实验结果.     

Increasing spatial resolution in the backscattered electron mode of scanning electron microscopy

A new method for increasing spatial resolution in the detection of backscattered electrons and induced current in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is proposed in terms of regularized Fourier transform. The real size of an electron probe and its blurring in a solid target sample are considered in forming the algorithm. The experiments reveal an almost 100% improvement in resolution in the processed images.     

Determination of electron affinity of electron accepting molecules

The unoccupied π ^* states of the solid film of electron accepting organic molecules, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), fluorinated TCNQ derivatives, 11,11,12,12-tetracyanonaphtho-2,6-quinodimethane (TNAP), C₆₀, and 6,6-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) have been studied by inverse photoemission spectroscopy. The assignment of the π ^* affinity levels of these typical electron accepting molecules provides the basic information for the organic electronics and the new electronic functional molecular design. The comparison with density functional theory calculations enables understanding how the electron affinity evolves in terms of molecular orbitals. The correlation between the film morphology and the irradiation damage on the TCNQ derivative samples by electron impact during the inverse photoemission measurements is also discussed.     

Effect of upflowing field-aligned electron beams on the electron cyclotron waves in the auroral magnetosphere

The role of low density upflowing field-aligned electron beams (FEBs) on the growth rate of the electron cyclotron waves at the frequencies ω _r < Ω_e, propagating downward in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field, has been analysed in the auroral region at ω _e/Ω_e < 1 where ω _e is the plasma frequency and Ω_e is the gyrofrequency. The FEBs with low to high energy (E _b) but with low temperature (T _‖b) have no effect on these waves. The FEBs with E _b < 1 keV and T _‖b (> 1.5 keV) have been found to have significant effect on the growth rate. Analysis has revealed that it is mainly the T _‖b which inhibits the growth rate (magnitude) and the range of frequency (bandwidth) of the instability mainly in the higher frequency spectrum. The inhibition in the growth rate and bandwidth increases with increase in T _‖b. The FEBs with less E _b (giving drift velocity) reduce growth rate more than the beams with larger E _b. The inhibition of growth rate increases with the increase in the ratio ω _e/Ω_e indicating that the beams are more effective at higher altitudes.      

f electron versus conduction electron superconductivity in the periodic Anderson model

We investigate the superconducting order parameter of strongly correlated electrons originating fromf states in the Anderson lattice model. Self-consistent calculations demonstrate rapid decrease of this quantity with the deviation of chemical potential from the centre of the band forT=0. The results indicate that although heavyf electrons are present at the Fermi surface, the superconductivity seems to be more likely supported by conduction electrons. Thus, we confirm the existence of cross-over effects derived by us previously within non self-consistent theory and suggest that the conduction electron contribution to the superconductivity of heavy fermion systems can be important and even dominating one.Supported by PAN, CPBP, 01.12., 2.7     

Chaotic characteristics of electron motion in the static magnetic fields and self-fields of the electron beam

In this paper We study the properties of electron motion when a nonneutral electron beam goes through a static magnetic field. The self-electronic and magnetic fields also affects on the test electron. The Hamiltonian equations of electron motion are deduced and the Poincare surface of section and the Lyapunov exponent are used to prove that the electron motion becomes chaotic when the fields are strong enough.     

Energy-momentum vector of the classical electron

One of the problems often attributed to the classical electron is that energy and linear momentum do not transform as components of a 4-vector under Lorentz transformations. It is shown (with the example of an uncharged balloon) that this problem is not unique to the classical electron with its electromagnetic field extending to spatial infinity. For the balloon model and the classical electron it is shown that the cohesive surface stress makes a contribution to the energy and momentum in such a way that they transform as 4-vector components. From these and other considerations it is shown that the classical electron may be treated in a self-consistent manner.

Phenomenology of the electron structure function

The advantages of introducing the electron structure function (ESF) in electron induced processes are demonstrated. Contrary to the photon structure function it is directly measured in such processes. At present energies, a simultaneous analysis of both the electron and the photon structure functions gives an important test of the experimentally applied methods. Estimates of the ESF at LEP momenta are given. At very high momenta contributions from W and Z bosons together with –Z interference can be observed. Predictions for the next generation of experiments are given. Received: 17 July 2001 / Revised version: 28 August 2001 / Published online: 5 October 2001
