The quantum efficiency of the internal photo-electric effect in indium antimonide

A method is described for measuring the relative quantum efficiency of the internal photo-electric effect in semi-conductors by simultaneously measuring the photo-magnetoelectric and photo-conductive effect. The results of measurements on indium antimonide are given. The quantum efficiency begins to increase if the energy of the photon exceeds 0·47 eVat room temperature. The quantum efficiency as a function of the energy of the photon is analysed on the basis of the conception of impact ionization and it is shown that a study of the structure of this curve can supply information on the, band structure of a semi-conductor in the region of high energies of electrons and holes.

Asymptotic theory of multidimensional chaos

A delay-differential equationu(t)+u(t)=f(u(t–1)), 0t < , and its generalization are investigated in the limit 0, when the attractor's dimension increases infinitely. It is shown that a number of statistical characteristics are asymptotically independent of. As for the attractor, it can be regarded as a direct product ofO(1/) equivalent subattractors, their statistical characteristics being asymptotically independent of . The results enable one to predict some characteristics of the attractor with fractal dimensionD 1 for the case 1, when they are inaccessible numerically. The approach developed seems to be applicable for a wide class of spatiotemporal systems.     

Analyticity properties of eigenfunctions and scattering matrix

For potentialsV=V(x)=O(|x|^–2–) for |x|,x³ we prove that if theS-matrix of (–, –+V) has an analytic extension to a regionO in the lower half-plane, then the family of generalized eigenfunctions of –+V has an analytic extension toO such that for |Imk|<b. Consequently, the resolvent (–+V–z ²)^–1 has an analytic continuation from ⁺ to {kOImk|<b} as an operator from _b ={f=e ^–b|x| g|gL ₂(³)} to _–b . Based on this, we define for potentialsW=o(e ^–2b|x|) resonances of (–+V, –+V+W) as poles of and identify these resonances with poles of the analytically continuedS-matrix of (–+V, –+V+W).The author would like to thank the Institute for Advanced Study for its hospitality and the National Science Foundation for financial support under Grant No. DMS-8610730(1)     

Multiple scattering in random media I. Restricted two-body additive approximation

We present a microscopic theory of the problem of finding the properties of a particle interacting with potentials located at random sites. The sites are governed by a general probability distribution. The starting point is the multiple scattering equations for the amplitude k ₁|T |k ₂ in terms of the individual scattering amplitudes k ₁|T |k ₂. We work with quantitiesA defined by k ₁|T |k ₂=k ₁|T |k ₂exp[i(k ₁–k ₂)R ]. The theory is based on a splitting of the fundamental equation forA into equations for the mean A and the fluctuationsAA . Neglect of the fluctuations yields the quasicrystalline approximation. We rearrange the equation forAA to isolate the collective part of the fluctuations. We then make the simplest microscopic truncation which is thatAA is a restricted two-body additive function of the site positions. With the contribution of the collective fluctuations, this yields results forA that are accurate to ordert ⁴.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Contract No. NSF DMRWork supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Contract No. NSF DMR     

Photostability of Molecules of Aromatic Amines in a Polymeric Matrix

In the temperature range T = 5–295 K, the spectralluminescent properties and curves of thermostimulated luminescence (TSL) of molecules of triphenylamine (TPA), trirtolylamine (TTA), triranisolamine (TAA), and N,N'diphenylbis(3methylphenyl)(1,1'biphenyl)4,4'diamine (TPD) in polystyrene and 4Brpolystyrene matrices have been investigated. It has been found that photoirradiation at room temperature in the region of the lowest electron transition of molecules leads to a decrease in the intensities of the luminescence, photoluminescence, and TSL bands, as well as to the formation of new deep traps for charge carriers. At equal irradiation doses these changes in TPD are noticeably less pronounced than in TPA, TTA, and TAA. The higher photochemical stability of TPD molecules compared to TPA, TTA, and TAA is attributed to the difference in the mechanisms of nonradiative deactivation of the triplet states of molecules.

Approximate calculation of frequencies of localized vibrations

An exact calculation of the frequencies of localized vibrations in a crystal with defects meets with considerable difficulties and therefore only the simplest cases have been calculated [9, 10]. An approximate calculation is confined to computing the frequencies of a system composed of several atoms in the neighbourhood of the defect. The interaction between this system and the other atoms of the lattice, which however are immobile in this approximation, is taken into consideration. Since the analytical estimate of the approximation is very rough, the approximate and exact calculations have been compared for some concrete cases (Fig. 1, 2). It is clear from these calculations that the use of the proposed approximation leads to good results.

A Note on Static Solutions of a Lorentz Invariant Equation in Dimension 3

Cut-and-project sets with convex acceptance windows, based on irrationalities = (1+5), =1+2, =2+3 are models for experimentally observed quasicrystals – materials with diffraction patterns consisting of sharp Bragg peaks in crystallographically disallowed patterns. We show that for each of these three irrationalities there exists a unique binary operation of the type x _s y:=sx+(1–s)y, such that one-dimensional cut-and-project sets are precisely Delone sets closed under this operation.     

Strong coupling expansion for classical statistical dynamics

We discuss the simple, randomly driven systemdx/dt = –x –x³ +f(t), wheref(t) is a Gaussian random function or stirring force with f(t)f(t) = (t – t). We show how to obtain approximately the coefficients of the expansion of the equal-time Green's functions as power series in (1/R)ⁿ, whereR is the internal Reynolds number ()^1/2/, by using a new expansion for the path integral representation of the generating functional for the correlation functions. Exploiting the fact that the action for the randomly driven system is related to that of a quantum mechanical anharmonic oscillator with Hamiltonianp ²/2 +m ² x ²/2 +vx ⁴ +x ⁶/2, we evaluate the path integral on a lattice by assuming that thex ⁶ term dominates the action. This gives an expansion of the lattice theory Green's functions as power series in 1/(a)^1/3, wherea is the lattice spacing. Using Padé approximants to extrapolate toa = 0, we obtain the desired large-Reynolds-number expansion of the two-point function.Supported financially by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Induced geometry and confinement

A classical, Poincaré invariant dynamical system is developed which contains, besides the natural metric _v , an induced metricg _v that is generated by a real scalar dynamical field. It is shown that scalar fields whose dynamics are governed by the induced metric can be consistently introduced. Also, point particles which follow timelike quasi-geodesic trajectories can be introduced. The reaction forces acting ong _v due to the presence of these fields and particles are computed. A discussion of causality and geometrical confinement is given.     

Matrix field theory for disordered local pairing superconductors with two glass order parameters and spin-flip pairbreaking processes

We derive the exact matrix field theory for a replicated grassmannian representation of a local pairing superconducting disorder ensemble including three superconducting order parameters and the spin-flip pairbreaking mechanism. Disorder is assumed to be gaussian distributed. We find by exactly solving the saddle-point equation the criterion for a vanishing gap ^–1 + ^–1 , where denotes the averaged superconducting order parameter, ^–1 the spin-flip scattering rate, and ^–1 the scattering rate corresponding to correlations of Re(–). Taken at =0, our field theory, which is exact in all orders of ^–1 , contains new terms in addition to those of theO( ^–1 ) model derived by Efetov et al. Our formulation transfers correctly to all orders the invariances of the action into symmetries of the matrix field theory. The saddle point approximation is outlined and it is shown how singular corrections to the saddle point density of states arise atE _F in a gapless superconductor. Finally singular corrections in the two particle propagator, the density correlation function and the conductivity are calculated for =0 in one loop order. It turns out that these corrections can be entirely expressed by those of the single particle density of states.     

On some frequent but controversial statements concerning the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations

Quite often the compatibility of the EPR correlations with the relativity theory has been questioned; it has been stated that the first in time of two correlated measurements instantaneously collapses the other subsystem; it has been suggested that a causal asymmetry is built into the Feynman propagator. However, the EPR transition amplitude, as derived from the S matrix, is Lorentz andCPT invariant; the correlation formula is symmetric in the two measurements irrespective of their time ordering, so that the link of the correlations is the Feynman zigzag, and that causality isCPT invariant at the microlevel; finally, although the Feynman propagator has theP andCT symmetries, no causal asymmetry follows from that. As for Stapp's views concerning process and becoming, and his Whiteheadean concept of an advancing front, I object that they belong to factlike macrophysics, and are refuted at the microlevel by the EPR phenomenology, which displays direct Fokker-like space-time connections. The reason for this is a radical one. The very blending of a space-time picture and of a probability calculus is a paradox. The only adequate paradigm is one denying objectivity to space-time—but this, of course, is also required by the complementary of the x and the k pictures, which only look compatible at the macrolevel. Therefore, the classical objectivity must yield in favor of intersubjectivity. Only the macroscopic preparing and measuring devices have factlike objectivity; the transition of the quantal system takes place beyond both thex and thek 4-spaces. Then, the intrinsic symmetries between retarded and advanced waves, and statistical prediction and retrodiction, entails that the future has no less (but no more) existence than the past. It is the future that is significant in creative process, the elementary forms of which should be termed precognition or psychokinesis—respectively symmetric to the factlike taboos that we can neither know into the future nor act into the past. It is gratifying that Robert Jahn, at the Engineering School of Princeton University, is conducting (after others) conclusive experiments demonstrating low level psychokinesis—a phenomenon implied by the very symmetry of the negentropy-information transition. So, what pierces the veil of maya is the (rare) occurrence of paranormal phenomena. The essential severance between act and potentia is not a spacelike advancing front, but the out of and the into factlike space-time. Finally, I do not feel that an adequate understanding of the EPR phenomenology requires going beyond the present status of relativistic quantum mechanics. Rather, I believe that the potentialities of this formalism have not yet been fully exploited.     

Four-parametric regular black hole solution

We present a regular class of exact black hole solutions of the Einstein equations coupled with a nonlinear electrodynamics source. For weak fields the nonlinear electrodynamics becomes the Maxwell theory, and asymptotically the solutions behave as the Reissner–Nordström one. The class is endowed with four parameters, which can be thought of as the mass m, charge q, and a sort of dipole and quadrupole moments and , respectively. For 3, 4, and |q|2s _c m the corresponding solutions are regular charged black holes. For = 3, they also satisfy the weak energy condition. For = = 0 we recover the Reissner–Nordström singular solution and for = 3, = 4 the family includes a previous regular black hole reported by the authors.     

Correlations and spectra of an intermittent chaos near its onset point

A one-parameter family of piecewise-linear discontinuous maps, which bifurcates from a periodic state of periodm, (m=2, 3,...) to an intermittent chaos, is studied as a new model for the onset of turbulence via intermittency. The onset of chaos of this model is due to the excitation of an infinite number of unstable periodic orbits and hence differs from Pomeau-Manneville's mechanism, which is a collapse of a pair of stable and unstable periodic orbits. The invariant density, the time-correlation function, and the power spectrum are analytically calculated for an infinite sequence of values of the bifurcation parameter which accumulate to the onset point _c from the chaos side - _c > 0. The power spectrum near=0 is found to consist of a large number of Lorentzian lines with two dominant peaks. The highest peak lies around frequency=2/m with the power-law envelope l/¦-(2/m)¦⁴. The second-highest peak lies around o = 0 with the envelope l/¦¦². The width of each line decreases as, and the separation between lines decreases as/lg3^–1. It is also shown that the Liapunov exponent takes the form-/m and the mean lifetime of the periodic state in the intermittent chaos is given bym ^–1(ln ^–1+1).     

Harmonic mixing by weakly pinned charge density waves

Third order harmonic mixing voltageE ₀ in case of frequency matching, =₂–₁=0, and third order pseudo harmonic mixing currentj() in the detuned case, 0, are evaluated for the one-dimensional Fukuyama-Lee-Rice model for weakly pinned charge density waves in the region of sub-threshold bias electric fields. After a perturbation expansion of the phase response to the ac driving fields the impurity averaging is performed diagrammatically. Specific statistical properties of the charge density wave phase in the weak pinning limit and a non-trivial result for the pinning of the static phase are utilized to expressE ₀ andj() in terms of the dielectric function (). A recent evaluation of () within the self-consistent Born approximation is used to present the results explicitly in a number of diagrams. In comparison to the overdamped anharmonic oscillator the following differences are found: Randomness leads to interference contributions which increase the amplitudes and decrease the phase shifts. The more realistic form for () at lower frequencies lead to a downward shift in the maximum ofj() when ₁ is decreased below the cross-over frequency _c . The present theory retains inertia in the dynamical equations and remains valid for frequencies near and above the pinning frequency. It fails, however, for small frequencies _{1 c} due to the neglect of metastable states and screening.     

Fock representations of the affine Lie algebraA 1 (1)

The aim of this note is to show that the affine Lie algebraA ₁ ⁽¹⁾ has a natural family _, ,v of Fock representations on the spaceC[x _i,y _j;i andj ], parametrized by (,v) C ². By corresponding the highest weight _, of _, to each (,), the parameter spaceC ₂ forms a double cover of the weight spaceC₀C –₁ with singularities at linear forms of level –2; this number is (–1)-times the dual Coxeter number. Our results contain explicit realizations of irreducible non-integrable highest wieghtA ₁ ⁽¹⁾ -modules for generic (,v).

Hölder continuity of sample paths in Euclidean field theory

Hölder continuity of sample paths of the stochastic process _t (f)=( _t f) (f Y(R ^d–1)) in Euclidean field theory is proved under some assumptions on correlation functions. These assumptions are fulfilled inP()₂ and in theories in which the GHS inequality holds. The continuity index is determined by the condition d(p)|p ₀|²<, whered(p) is the Fourier transform of the two-point function.On leave of absence from Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wrocaw, Wrocaw, Poland
