Boundary conditions for the Pauli equation: application to photodetachment of Cs-

We formulate the boundary conditions near the atomic nucleus for solving the Pauli equation, based on the analytic solution of the Dirac equation for a Coulomb potential. We then integrate the Pauli equation using an effective potential that is adjusted to reproduce Dirac R-matrix scattering phase shifts, and find the (3)P(o)(1) resonance contribution to the photodetachment cross section of Cs-. Our photodetachment cross sections agree with recent experiments by Scheer et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 684 (1998)] after tuning the resonance position by 2.4 meV. We also provide angle-differential photodetachment cross sections and the corresponding asymmetry parameter beta near the Cs(6s) threshold.     

Lattice calculations of the photoionization of Li

Calculations are presented for the double photoionization (with excitation) and triple photoionization of the Li atom. The motion of all three electrons is treated equally by solving the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation in nine dimensions. A radial lattice is used to represent three of the nine dimensions, while a coupled channel expansion is used to represent the other six dimensions. Probabilities for photoionization are obtained by t--> infinity projection onto fully antisymmetric spatial and spin functions. Double photoionization cross sections for lithium leaving the ion in the 1s, 2s, and 2p states are presented. Good agreement is found with the measurements of Huang et al. [Phys. Rev. A 59, 3397 (1999)]] for the total double photoionization cross section and with the measurements of Wehlitz et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1813 (1998)]] for the triple photoionization cross section.     

Relaxation of a hard-sphere gas and criteria of validity of the calculations

The isotropic Boltzmann equation is solved using the Sonin moment system of equations. The main task here is the construction of a matrix describing the particle interaction. Such a matrix has been constructed analytically for various interaction cross sections in a number of papers [M. Barnsley and G. Turchetti, Lett. Nuovo Cimento 33, 347 (1982); G. Turchetti and M. Paolilli, Phys. Lett. A 90, 123 (1982); F. Schürrer and G. Kügerl, Phys. Fluids A 2, 609 (1990); A. Ya. énder and I. A. énder, Tech. Phys. 39, 997 (1994)]. Calculations of matrix elements arrived at by different methods for the hard-sphere model are compared. Some general properties of the matrix are found that can be used as criteria of the validity of the calculations. With the help of such criteria it is shown that the nonlinear matrix elements were calculated incorrectly by Schürrer and Kügerl (op. cit.). Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 68, 18–26 (May 1998)     

Some remarks on finite-gap solutions of the Ernst equation

The relationship between the class of algebro-geometrical (finite-gap) solutions of the Ernst equation constructed by Korotkin and Matveev [Theor. Math. Phys. 77 (1989) 1018; St. Petersburg Math. J. 1 (1990) 379] and the solutions recently constructed by Meinel and Neugebauer [Phys. Lett. A 210 (1996) 160] is discussed. A new formula for the general algebro-geometrical solution is obtained.     

From Reactive Boltzmann Equations to Reaction–Diffusion Systems

We consider the reactive Boltzmann equations for a mixture of different species of molecules, including a fixed background. We propose a scaling in which the collisions involving this background are predominant, while the inelastic (reactive) binary collisions are very rare. We show that, at the formal level, the solutions of the Boltzmann equations converge toward the solutions of a reaction-diffusion system. The coefficients of this system can be expressed in terms of the cross sections of the Boltzmann kernels. We discuss various possible physical settings (gases having internal energy, presence of a boundary, etc.), and present one rigorous mathematical proof in a simplified situation (for which the existence of strong solutions to the Boltzmann equation is known).     

Generalized statistical complexity measures: Geometrical and analytical properties

We discuss bounds on the values adopted by the generalized statistical complexity measures [M.T. Martin et al., Phys. Lett. A 311 (2003) 126; P.W. Lamberti et al., Physica A 334 (2004) 119] introduced by López Ruiz et al. [Phys. Lett. A 209 (1995) 321] and Shiner et al. [Phys. Rev. E 59 (1999) 1459]. Several new theorems are proved and illustrated with reference to the celebrated logistic map.     

Exact analytical solution of a nonlinear equation arising in heat transfer

This Letter shows that the nonlinear equation arising in heat transfer recently investigated in papers [D.D. Ganji, Phys. Lett. A 355 (2006) 337; S. Abbasbandy, Phys. Lett. A 360 (2006) 109; Hafez Tari, D.D. Ganji, H. Babazadeh, Phys. Lett. A 363 (2007) 213] and [M.S.H. Chowdhury, I. Hashim, Phys. Lett. A 372 (2008) 1240] is exactly solvable, analyses the equation fully and, furthermore, gives analytic exact solution in implicit form for each value of parameters of equation.     

Effect of the reagent vibration on stereodynamics of the reaction O（^1D）＋HF→F＋OH

This paper studies the influence of the reagent vibration on the reaction O(¹D)+HF → HO+F by using a quasi-classical trajectory method on the new \textitab initio ¹A' ground singlet potential energy surface (Gómez-Carrasco et al 2007 Chem. Phys. Lett. 435 188--193). The product angular distributions which reflect the vector correlation are calculated. Four polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) which are sensitive to many photoinitiated bimolecular reaction experiments are presented in the center of the mass frame, respectively. The differential cross section indicates that the OH product mainly tends to the forward scattering, and other PDDCSs are also influenced by the vibration levels of HF.     

Stereo-dynamics of the exchange reaction HaWLiHb → LiHa＋Hb and its isotopic variants

<正>The quasi-classical trajectory(QCT) method is used to calculate the stereo-dynamics of the exchange reaction H_a+LiH_b→LiH_a+H_b and its isotopic variants based on an accurate potential energy surface reported by Prudente et al.[Prudente F V,Marques J M C and Maniero A M 2009 Chem.Phys.Lett.474 18].The reactive probability of the title reaction is computed.The vector correlations and four polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections(PDDCSs) at different collision energies are presented.The influences of the collision energy and the reagent rotation on the product polarization are studied in the present work.The results indicate that the product rotational angular momentum j’ is not only aligned,but also oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane. The product polarization distributions of the title reaction and its isotopic variants exhibit distinct differences which may arise from different mass combinations.     

Quenched noise in surface growth

The analytical continuous equations for the Tang and Leschhorn (Phys. Rev. A 45 (1992) R8309) and the Buldyrev et al. (Phys. Rev. A 45 (1992) R8313) models are derived from the microscopic rules using a regularization procedure. As was shown in a previous paper (Phys. Rev. E 62 (2000) 6970) the continuous equation for the Tang and Leschhorn model is formally different to the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation (Phys. Rev. Lett. 56 (1986) 889) with quenched noise (QKPZ). Nevertheless, after expanding the multiplicative noise, it is shown that we recover the usual QKPZ, demonstrating analytically that both equations belong to the same universality class.     

The Bi-Hamiltonian Structure and New Solutions of KdV6 Equation

We show that the KdV6 equation and the nonholonomic perturbation of bi-Hamiltonian system of KdV hierarchy recently studied in Karasu-Kalkanli et al. (J Math Phys 49:073516, 2008) and Kupershmidt (Phys Lett A 372:2634–2639, 2008) are equivalent to the Rosochatius deformation of KdV equation and KdV hierarchy with self-consistent sources (RD-KdVESCS, RD-KdVHSCS), respectively, recently presented in Yao and Zeng (J Phys A Math Theor 41:295205, 2008). The t-type bi-Hamiltonian formalisms of KdV6 equation and RD-KdVHSCS are constructed by taking x as evolution parameter. Some new solutions of KdV6 equation, such as soliton, positon and negaton solution, are presented.     

Growing mechanisms in the QKPZ equation aaand the DPD models

The roughening of interfaces moving in inhomogeneous media is investigated by numerical integration of the phenomenological stochastic differential equation proposed by Kardar, Parisi, and Zhang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 889 (1986)] with quenched noise (QKPZ) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 920 (1995)]. We express the evolution equations for the mean height and the roughness into two contributions: the local and the lateral one in order to compare them with the local and the lateral contributions obtained for the directed percolation depinning models (DPD) introduced independently by Tang and Leschhorn [Phys. Rev A 45, R8309 (1992)] and Buldyrev et al. [Phys. Rev A 45, R8313 (1992)]. These models are classified in the same universality class of the QKPZ although the mechanisms of growth are quite different. In the DPD models the lateral contribution is a coupled effect of the competition between the local growth and the lateral one. In these models the lateral contribution leads to an increasing of the roughness near the criticality while in the QKPZ equation this contribution always flattens the roughness.

Analytical Solutions,Moments, and Their Asymptotic Behaviors for the Time-Space Fractional Cable Equation

Following the fractional cable equation established in the letter [B.I. Henry, T.A.M. Langlands, and S.L. Wearne, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 (2008) 128103], we present the time-space fractional cable equation which describes the anomalous transport of electrodiffusion in nerve cells. The derivation is based on the generalized fractional Ohm's law; and the temporal memory effects and spatial-nonlocality are involved in the time-space fractional model. With the help of integral transform method we derive the analytical solutions expressed by the Green's function; the corresponding fractional moments are calculated; and their asymptotic behaviors are discussed. In addition, the explicit solutions of the considered model with two different external current injections are also presented.

The Cauchy Problem for the relativistic Boltzmann equation is studied with small (i.e., near–vacuum) data. For an appropriate class of scattering cross sections, global ``mild' solutions are obtained. Supported in part by NSF DMS 0204227     

A New Modified Extended Tanh-Function Method and Its Application

In this paper, a new modified extended tanh-function method is presented for constructing soliton-like,periodic form solutions of nonlinear evolution equation (NEEs). This method is more powerful than the extended tanhfunction method [Phys. Lett. A277 (2000) 212] and the moditied extended tanh-function method [Phys. Lett. A285(2001) 355]. Abundant new solutions of two physically important NEEs are obtained by using this method and symbolic computation system Maple.     

A New Formula to Obtain Exact Green's Functions of Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation

We obtain a new relation between Green's functions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for stationary potentials and Green's functions of the same equation for certain time-dependent potentials. The relation obtained here emerges very easily from a transformation introduced by Ray [J.R. Ray, Phys. Rev. A26 (1982) 729] and generalizes former work of Dodonov, et al. [V.V. Dodonov, V.I. Man'ko, and D.E. Nikonov, Phys. Lett. A162 (1992) 359.]     

Vibrationally resolved K-shell photoionization cross sections of methane

We use an extension of the static-exchange density functional theory (DFT) method, previously reported in [E. Plésiat et al., Phys. Rev. A 2, 023409 (2012), E. Plésiat, P. Decleva, F. Martín, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 31, 10853 (2012)], to evaluate vibrationally resolved (total and angular) K-shell photoelectron cross sections of methane. The calculated cross sections are in very good agreement with the existing experimental measurements at low photoelectron energies. We show that, in contrast with the rich interference patterns previously observed in molecular frame C(1s) photoelectron angular distributions of methane at both low and high photoelectron energy, no interference effects are observed in the calculated β parameters, even at high photon energies.     

Path integral hybrid Monte Carlo calculation of the bosonic oscillators

In this paper, various correlation functions for a bosonic many-body system have been calculated using the path integral hybrid Monte Carlo method proposed by the authors [Chem. Phys. Lett. 308, 115 (1999)]. A system consisting of 32 independent particles in a harmonic well was chosen as a model problem. Calculations were carried out at two temperatures for the Boltzmann and Bose statistics. The large amplitude of the bosonic pair-correlation function around origin was found in comparison with the boltzmannoniac counterpart. This behavior can be interpreted by effective “attractive interaction” between particles arising from the Bose statistics.
