Pressure fluctuations in separated flows

This paper presents measurements of wall pressure spectra and r.m.s. levels in subsonic separated flows and it is shown that there is a relation between the r.m.s. pressures in various separated flow configurations. Using pressure correlation measurements, turbulence properties and a similarity analysis, a flow model is postulated which gives good estimates of the fluctuating wall pressures.

Pressure screening and fluctuations at the bottom of a granular column

We report sets of precise and reproducible measurements on the static pressure at the bottom of a granular column. We make a quantitative analysis of the pressure saturation when the column height is increased. We evidence a great sensitivity of the measurements with the global packing fraction and the eventual presence of shear bands at the boundaries. We also show the limit of the classical Janssen model and discuss these experimental results under the scope of recently proposed theoretical frameworks.

Rectifying fluctuations in an optical lattice

We have realized a Brownian motor by using cold atoms in a dissipative optical lattice as a model system. In our experiment the optical potential is spatially symmetric and the time symmetry of the system is broken by applying appropriate zero-mean ac forces. We identify a regime of rectification of forces and a regime of rectification of fluctuations, the latter corresponding to the realization of a Brownian motor.

Local polarization fluctuations in an aging glass

Polarization fluctuations were measured in nanoscale volumes of a polymer glass during aging following a temperature quench through the glass transition. Statistical properties of the noise were studied in equilibrium and during aging. The noise spectral density had a larger temporal variance during aging; i.e., the noise was more non-Gaussian, suggesting stronger correlations during aging.     

Reflectance fluctuations in an absorbing random waveguide

We study the statistics of the reflectance (the ratio of reflected and incident intensities) of an N-mode disordered waveguide with weak absorption g per mean free path. Two distinct regimes are identified. The regime γ N ²≫1 shows universal fluctuations. With increasing length L of the waveguide, the variance of the reflectance changes from the value 2/15N ², characteristic for universal conductance fluctuations in disordered wires, to another value 1/8N ², characteristic for chaotic cavities. The weak-localization correction to the average reflectance performs a similar crossover from the value 1/3N to 1/4N. In the regime γ N ²≫1, the large-L distribution of the reflectance R becomes very wide and asymmetric, P(R)∝(1−R)⁻² for R≪1−γN. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Current fluctuations in an interacting quantum dot

We calculate the counting statistics of electron transfer through an open quantum dot with charging interaction. A dot that is connected to leads by two single-channel quantum point contacts in an in-plane magnetic field is described by a Luttinger liquid with impurity at the Toulouse point. We find that the fluctuations of the current through this conductor exhibit distinctive interaction effects. Fluctuations saturate at high voltages, while the mean current increases linearly with the bias voltage. All cumulants higher than the second one reach at large bias a temperature independent limit.     

Field theory of fluctuations during phase transitions

The evolution of the most probable amplitudes of the hydrodynamic mode is investigated in the self-consistent scheme. Fluctuations of the amplitude of the conjugate force are also investigated. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1689–1692 (September 1999)     

Heat load of a GaAs photocathode in an SRF electron gun

A great deal of effort has been made over the last decades to develop a better polarized electron source for high energy physics. Several laboratories operate DC guns with a gallium arsenide photocathode, which yield a highly polarized electron beam. However, the beam's emittance might well be improved by using a superconducting radio frequency (SRF) electron gun, which delivers beams of a higher brightness than that from DC guns because the field gradient at the cathode is higher. SRF guns with metal and CsTe cathodes have been tested successfully. To produce polarized electrons, a Gallium-Arsenide photo-cathode must be used: an experiment to do so in a superconducting RF gun is under way at BNL. Since a bulk gallium arsenide (GaAs) photocathode is normal conducting, a problem arises from the heat load stemming from the cathode. We present our measurements of the electrical resistance of GaAs at cryogenic temperatures, a prediction of the heat load and verification by measuring the quality factor of the gun with and without the cathode at 2 K. We simulate heat generation and flow from the GaAs cathode using the ANSYS program. By following the findings with the heat load model, we designed and fabricated a new cathode holder (plug) to decrease the heat load from GaAs.

Design of an electron gun for terahertz radiation source

An EC-ITC(External-Cathode Independently Tunable Cells) RF gun was employed with the aim of obtaining short-pulse bunches with high peak current for a terahertz radiation source. A gridded DC gun plays a key role as the external injecting electron source of the ITC RF gun, the performance of which determines the beam quality in the injector and transport line. In order to make the beam well compressed in the ITC RF gun, the energy of the electrons acquired from the gridded DC gun should be 15 keV at most. A proper structure of the gridded gun with double-anode is shown to overcome the strong space- charge force on the cathode, which is able to generate 6 μs beam with 4.5 A current successfully.

Superconducting fluctuations and the peierls instability in an organic solid

The discovery of extraordinary conductivity maxima in a class of organic charge transfer salts is reported. The data are interpreted as resulting from superconducting fluctuations at high temperatures. A possible mechanism for achieving high temperature superconductivity is suggested based on the electron-phonon interaction, in the strong-coupling limit, and the Peierls soft-mode instability in pseudo-one-dimensional systems. Procedures are suggested for the possible eventual stabilization of the superconducting state.
