Low-temperature and long-time anomalies of a damped quantum particle

The time evolution of a damped quantum particle is discussed. Dissipation is modeled by the bilinear coupling to a set of harmonic oscillators. Using a functional integral technique that accounts for initial correlations between the particle and the reservoir, one can express the dynamics of the damped particle entirely in terms of equilibrium correlation functions. The long-time behavior of these correlations is determined for memory damping arising from the coupling to a reservoir with spectral densityI() at low frequencies, where > 0. The time evolution of nonequilibrium initial states of the damped particle is discussed. At finite temperatures an initially localized state is found to spread subdiffusively or superdiffusively, depending on . For > 2 the damping becomes ineffective for long times, and the width of a state grows kinematically. At zero temperature and for < 1, an initially localized state remains localized for all times. For 1 the state spreads, but with a slower rate than at finite temperatures. Study of arbitrary initial states indicates that the process is ergodic at finite temperatures only for 2 and at zero temperature for 1 2.     

Refining of CdSb and preparation of CdSb single crystals by zone melting

CdSb single crystals were prepared by zone melting in a boat both with and without a seed crystal in a stream of pure hydrogen or in a sealed and evacuated tube. The zone moved with a velocity of 1–20 cm/hour. Zone melting in an evacuated tube was used to prepare CdSb single crystals of high purity containing 10¹⁵ acceptors/cm³ at room temperature. During zone refining the stoichiometry is damaged; the front part of the ingot is enriched by cadmium and the end of the ingot by antimony; the enrichment is of an order of several percent after 10 passages of the zone. In the middle part of the ingot the stoichiometric compound remains unchanged. CdSb single crystals grow even by directional cooling of the melt of the stoichiometric compound without a seed crystal.

A contribution to the theory of the triple crystal diffractometer

The first part of the paper gives a general equation for triple-crystal arrangement with perfect crystals on the assumption that the third crystal is rotated. It is shown that in the case of perfect crystals the shape of the reflection curve is practically independent of the vertical divergence. The case of mosaic crystals is also solved and the possibility of rotation by other than the third crystal is considered. A method is proposed for investigating the imperfection of a crystal which is different from methods used up to now. The paper is supplemented by some experimental results.

The van der Waals limit for classical systems

For a -dimensional system of particles with the two-body potentialq(r)+ ^v K(r) and density , it is proved under fairly weak conditions onq andK that the canonical pressure (, ) and chemical potential (, ) tend to definite limits when 0. The limiting functions are absolutely continuous and are given in terms of the derivative of the limiting free energy density which was found in Part I.     

Change in primary extinction during decomposition of supersaturated solid solution II. Al-Cu 4% alloy-formation of G.P. zones

The change in integrated intensity of the (200) reflections of a solid solution during the formation of G.P. zones was measured and compared with the change in the character of the diffuse streaks corresponding to them. It was found that the. formation of G.P. zones does not lead to a decrease in primary extinction despite the great changes in the distribution of the copper atoms. It was shown that the formation of a precipitate accompanied by the formation of crystallographically incoherent boundaries greatly decreases the primary extinction.

Kinetic equation in the kinetic region of the dilute and nonuniform electron plasma

Mori's scaling method is used to derive the kinetic equation for a dilute, nonuniform electron plasma in the kinetic region where the space-time cutoff (b, t _c) satisfies _Dbl _f , _D t _{c f} , with _D the Debye length, _D ^–1= _p the plasma frequency, andl _f and _f the mean free path and time, respectively. The kinetic equation takes account of the nonuniformity of the order ofl _f and _D for the single-and the two-particle distribution function, respectively. Thus the Vlasov term associated with the two-particle distribution function is retained. This kinetic equation is deduced from the kinetic equation in the coherent region obtained by Morita, Mori, and Tokuyama, where the space-time cutoff of the coherent region satisfies _Dbr ₀, _Dt _{c 0}, withr ₀ the Landau length and ₀ the corresponding time scale.     

One-dimensional harmonic lattice caricature of hydrodynamics

We derive the hydrodynamic (Euler) approximation for the harmonic time evolution of infinite classical oscillator system on one-dimensional lattice ¹ It is known that equilibrium (i.e., time-invariant attractive) states for this model are translationally invariant Gaussian ones, with the mean 0, which satisfy some linear relations involving the interaction quadratic form. The natural parameter characterizing equilibrium states is the spectral density matrix function (SDMF)F(), [– , ). Time evolution of a space profile of local equilibrium parameters is described by a space-time SDMFF(t;x, ) t, xR ¹. The hydrodynamic equation forF(t; x, ) which we derive in this paper means that the normal mode profiles indexed by are moving according to linear laws and are mutually independent. The procedure of deriving the hydrodynamic equation is the following: We fix an initial SDMF profileF(x, ) and a familyP ,>0 of mean 0 states which satisfy the two conditions imposed on the covariance of spins at various lattice points: (a) the covariance at points close to the value ^–1 x in the stateP is approximately described by the SDMFF(x, ); (b) The covariance (on large distances) decreases with distance quickly enough and uniformly in. Given nonzerotR ¹, we consider the states P _–1 ,>0, describing the system at the time moments ^–1 t during its harmonic time evolution. We check that the covariance at lattice points close to ^–1 x in the state P _–1 is approximately described by a SDMFF(t;x, ) and establish the connection betweenF(t; x, ) andF(x,).     

Additivity of vector gleason measures

We study the degree of additivity of orthogonal Hilbert-space-valued measures on the latticeL(H) of all projections acting on a Hilbert spaceH. We present criteria for such measures to be completely additive and we establish the connection between the additivity of orthogonal measures and the size of almost disjoint families on dimH. [For example, we show that everyH-valued orthogonal measure is weakly-additive iff (dimH) > dim H]. As a corollary we see that finitely additive orthogonal measures distinguish dimensions of Hilbert spaces (this can be viewed as a generalization of a theorem by Kruszynski). As a further corollary, we obtain that, for cardinals, with >,3, there is no Jordan homomorphism from a typeI -factor into a typeI -factor. Finally, we show that every latticeL(H) with (dimH) = dimH admits a nonzero free orthogonal measure with values inH. Our results contribute to the noncommutative probability theory and also may find applications in the theory of the representation ofC ^*-algebras.     

Finite size effects in critical dynamics and the renormalization group

Systems representable as a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model with nonconserved order parameter are considered in a block (V=L ^d) geometry with periodic boundary conditions, both for space dimensionalitiesd4 andd=4–. A systematic approach for studying finite size effects on dynamic critical behavior is developed. The method consists in constructing an effective reduced dynamics for the lowest-energy (q=0) mode by integrating out the remaining degrees of freedom, and generalizes recent analytic approaches for studying static finite size effects to dynamics. Above four dimensions, the coupling to the other (q0) modes is irrelevant and the probability densityP(,t) for the normalized order parameter=d^d x(x,t)/V satisfies a Fokker-Planck equation. The dynamics is equivalently described by the Langevin equation for a particle moving in a ||⁴ potential or by a supersymmetric quantum mechanical Hamiltonian. Dynamic finite size scaling is found to be broken, e.g. the order parameter relaxation rate varies at the bulk critical temperatureT _c, as (T _c, L)L ^–d/2 asL. By contrast, ford<4, the coupling to the other (q0) modes cannot be ignored and dynamic finite size scaling is valid. The asymptotic behavior of correlation and response functions can be studied within the framework of an expansion in powers of ^1/2. The scaling function associated with is computed to one-loop order. Finally, the many component (n) limit is briefly considered.     

Nonstationary Markov chains and convergence of the annealing algorithm

We study the asymptotic behavior as timet + of certain nonstationary Markov chains, and prove the convergence of the annealing algorithm in Monte Carlo simulations. We find that in the limitt + , a nonstationary Markov chain may exhibit phase transitions. Nonstationary Markov chains in general, and the annealing algorithm in particular, lead to biased estimators for the expectation values of the process. We compute the leading terms in the bias and the variance of the sample-means estimator. We find that the annealing algorithm converges if the temperatureT(t) goes to zero no faster thanC/log(t/t ₀) ast+, with a computable constantC andt ₀ the initial time. The bias and the variance of the sample-means estimator in the annealing algorithm go to zero likeO(t^–1+) for some 0<1, with =0 only in very special circumstances. Our results concerning the convergence of the annealing algorithm, and the rate of convergence to zero of the bias and the variance of the sample-means estimator, provide a rigorous procedure for choosing the optimal annealing schedule. This optimal choice reflects the competition between two physical effects: (a) The adiabatic effect, whereby if the temperature is loweredtoo abruptly the system may end up not in a ground state but in a nearby metastable state, and (b) the super-cooling effect, whereby if the temperature is loweredtoo slowly the system will indeed approach the ground state(s) but may do so extremely slowly.     

Quantum-resolved fluorescence excitation spectra of SnO free radical

TheA ¹ –X ^{1 +} system of SnO is studied by laser- induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy using isotopically enriched tin Sn¹¹⁶. The rotational structure analysis has been carried out for 6-0, 5-0, 2-0 bands. All these spectra were well resolved only with few perturbed lines in 2-0 band. Rotational constantsB ₂,B ₅,B ₆ and henceB _e , _{e e} have been obtained for the Sn¹¹⁶O molecule. An extension of perturbation study on 4-0 band has been made showing the maximum perturbation occurs at different J values for different isotopes.     

A discrete spectrum of solutions of the wave equation with strong cubic nonlinearity

The nonlinear wave equation, _tt –+³=0, has many solutions that are periodic in time and localized in space, all with infinte energies. The search for spherically symmetric solutions that are well represented by the simple approximation, (r, t)A(r) sin t, leads to a discrete spectrum of solutions{ _N (r, t; )}. The solutions are nonlinear wavepackets, and they can be regarded as particles. The asymptotic theory () of the motion of the guiding center of theNth wavepacket, in the presence of a specified potential, is characterized by an infinite mechanical mass and an infinte interaction mass, and they are compatible. The rest mass in the classical relativistic mechanics of guiding centers ism ₀ c ²= _N ; i.e. the spectrum { _N } determines a spectrum of Planck's constants.On leave (1972–73) Université de Paris VI, Département de Mécanique, 75 Paris 5^e, France.     

On two “self-creation” cosmologies

An attempt to produce a continuous creation theory by adapting the Brans-Dicke theory is described. The universe is seen to be created out of self-contained gravitational, scalar, and matter fields. However, the solution of the one-body problem reveals unsatisfactory characteristics of the theory, and in particular the principle of equivalence is severely violated. A second theory is described which retains the attractive features of the first theory and which does not fall foul of its objections. There do exist empirical tests for the theory which are described and which will require further examination. In the limit this theory approaches general relativity in every respect.Notation ² gf the invariant d'Alembertian - t ₀ Hubble time - H Hubble's constant - scalar field - coupling constant - T _M energy-momentum tensor of matter and nongravitational energy, and nonscalar field energy - T _M energy-momentum tensor of scalar field energy - T _M covariant form - T _M contravariant form - T _M mixed form - T _M T _M trace - T _{M ;} covariant differentiation - contravariant differentiation - T Ricci tensor - R curvature scalar (in tensorial equations) - Kronecker symbol - () a function of used in the text - density - p pressure - g the metric tensor - R(t) scale factor (in cosmological equations) - U the fluid 4-velocity (covariant) - U the fluid 4-velocity (contravariant) - functions differentiated once with respect to time ( , differenciated twice) - k the Robertson-Walker curvature constant=+1, 0, or –1 - proportional to - g gravitational coefficient - parameter - angle of deflection, or coordinate - angle of precession or coordinate - angle of precession - G _v the force density - ³( – _n (t)) the Dirac delta function - proper time - K an unknown function definingG - total angle of deflection - r ₀ minimum radius of approach of a light ray grazing the sun     

Anisotropy of the low temperature resistivity of hexagonal single crystalline spin glass systems

The impurity contribution to the resistivity in zero field (T) of dilute hexagonal single crystals of ZnMn, CdMn and MgMn has been studied in the mK range on samples cut parallel () and perpendicular () to thec-axis, using a SQUID technique for the measurements. Typical spin glass behavior is found in (T) as well as (T) for all alloys, with Kondo like logarithmic increases at higher temperatures and maxima atT _m at lower temperatures, indicating the influence of impurity interactions. The differences in the corresponding isotropic resistivity _poly(T) between the three systems can qualitatively be understood within the framework of a theoretical model by Larsen, describing (T) as a function of universal quantitiesT/T _K and _RKKY/T _K , where _RKKY is the RKKY-interaction strength andT _K the Kondo temperature. With respect to the two lattice directions studied, the behavior of (T and (T is anisotropic in the Kondo regime as well as in the range where ordering becomes important. While the anisotropy in the Kondo slope can be understood by an anisotropic unitarity limit, the understanding of the anisotropy in region where impurity interactions are important remains problematic.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. S. Methfessel on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Light absorption by free semiconductor carriers in the presence of a laser wave

Within the framework of the conditions ; » ^–1 ( ^–1 is the mean time of momentum relaxation), the coefficient of absorption () of a weak electromagnetic wave by the free carriers of a polar semiconductor is calculated in the presence of a strong wave (of frequency ), for arbitrary values of and . Photon absorption by band electrons is due to these latter interacting with optical phonons (of frequency _o). The problem is solved by using an analogous approach to the theory of the linear Kubo reaction. The results are valid in the absence of electron heating, when a strong wave only influences the scattering probability. The appearance of a photostimulated tail of absorption is predicted for < _o, including the jump () for ( – _o + ) ₀T as well as peaks in the function () at the points _s=s (s=1, 2, 3,...). The value (₁) is determined by the formula for the absorption coefficient for one strong wave.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 105–109, July, 1981.The authors are grateful to É.

Exponential convergence to equilibrium for a class of random-walk models

We prove exponential convergence to equilibrium (L ² geometric ergodicity) for a random walk with inward drift on a sub-Cayley rooted tree. This randomwalk model generalizes a Monte Carlo algorithm for the self-avoiding walk proposed by Berretti and Sokal. If the number of vertices of levelN in the tree grows asC _N ~ ^N N ^–1 , we prove that the autocorrelation time satisfies N² N¹⁺

Determination of parameters in equation for ferromagnetic resonance of ferrites

The paper describes a new method for determining the parameters in the equation for ferromagnetic resonance — the internal effective field, the spectroscopic splitting factor and the saturation magnetization in polycrystalline magnetically isotropic ferrites. Relations are derived for calculating these parameters by means of the values of the resonance external static fields, which are obtained by measuring on samples having different geometrical shapes and differently arranged static and microwave magnetic fields. The advantages and disadvantages of the method and remarks on the experimental method are given. The paper ends with an example of measurement.

Circular electron accelerator with toroidal wave-guide

A small electron model of a synchrotron with weak focusing and betatron injection was constructed and tested. In it the electrons are accelerated on a radius of 4 cm by a partial traveling wave in a rectangular toroidal resonator, excited in aE _8,1,1 mode. The source of the h-f power is a tunable impulse magnetron in the 10 GHz band. The possibility of synchronous acceleration of relativistic particles in a smooth toroidal wave-guide in the presence of a strong radial component of the h-f field was thereby confirmed experimentally.

     

Gravitation and universal Fermi coupling in general relativity

The generally covariant Lagrangian densityG = + 2K _matter of the Hamiltonian principle in general relativity, formulated by Einstein and Hilbert, can be interpreted as a functional of the potentialsg _ikand of the gravitational and matter fields. In this general relativistic interpretation, the Riemann-Christoffel form _kl ⁱ = _kl ⁱ for the coefficients _kl ⁱ of the affine connections is postulated a priori. Alternatively, we can interpret the LagrangianG as a functional of , g_ik, and the coefficients _kl ⁱ . Then the _kl ⁱ are determined by the Palatini equations. From these equations and from the symmetry _kl ⁱ = _lk ⁱ for all matter fields with /=0 the Christoffel symbols again result. However, for Dirac's bispinor fields, / becomes dependent on the Dirac current, essentially with a coupling factor Khc. In this case, the Palatini equations define a new transport rule for the spinor fields, according to which a second universal interaction results for the Dirac spinors, besides Einstein's gravitation. The generally covariant Dirac wave equations become the general relativistic nonlinear Heisenberg wave equations, and the second universal interaction is given by a Fermi-like interaction term of the V-A type. The geometrically induced Fermi constant is, however, very small and of the order 10^–81erg cm³
