Small x behaviour of the chirally-odd parton distribution h 1(x,Q 2)

The small x behaviour of the structure function h ₁ (x, Q ²) is studied within the leading logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. There are two contributions relevant at small x. The leading one behaves like (1/x)⁰ i.e. it is just a constant in this limit. The second contribution, suppressed by one power of x, includes the terms summed by the GLAP equation. Thus for h ₁ (x, Q ²) the GLAP asymptotics and Regge asymptotics are completely different, making h ₁(x, Q ²) quite an interesting quantity for the study of small x physics.     

The orientational glass instability and localization in (KCN) x (KBr)1−x and (KCN) x (NaCN)1−x

Substitutional disorder in mixed crystals with orientational and translational degrees of freedom leads to the appearance of random strain fields. The strains act as static scattering centers for dynamic modes. Near a ferroelastic phase transition where the crystal is very soft, internal friction processes dominate the dynamic restoring forces. The resulting nonergodic instability marks the onset of the orientational glass state, which is characterized by a freezing-in of orientational and translational modes without long range order. The method is based on the study of dynamic equations of mode-coupling type and was originally developed by Götze for the Anderson localization.Dedicated to Professor Harry Thomas on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Dielectric properties of (KBr)1−x (KCN) x

The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant of (KBr)_1–x (KCN) _x was measured at frequencies of 87.5 Hz, 1, 10 and 100 kHz for concentrations ofx=0, 0.01, 0.04, 0.14, 0.25, and 0.50. Both the real and the imaginary part showed maxima at characteristic temperatures which depend on the measuring frequency and the concentration. The results are analogous to the behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility in spin glasses and support the existence of an orientational glass state.     

Chiral-odd transversity spin structure function h1(x) of the nucleon in a constituent quark model

We study the chiral-odd transversity spin-dependent quark distribution function h₁(x) of the nucleon in a constituent quark model. The twist-2 structure functions, f₁(x), g₁(x) and h₁(x) are calculated within the diquark spectator approximation. Whereas an inequality f₁(x) > h₁(x) > g₁(x) holds with the interaction between quark and diquark being scalar, the axial-vector effective quark-diquark interaction, which contributes to the d-quark distribution, does not lead to such a simple relation. We find that h₁(x) for the d-quark becomes somewhat smaller than g₁^d(x), when we fix the model parameter to reproduce known other structure functions. We also include corrections due to the non-trivial structure of the constituent quark, which is modeled by the Goldstone boson dressing. This improves agreements of f₁(x) and g₁(x) with experiments, and brings further reduction of h₁^d(x) distribution. Consequences for semi-inclusive experiments are also discussed.     

Ge self-diffusion in epitaxial Si(1)-(x)Ge(x) layers

Diffusion coefficients and activation energies have been determined for Ge diffusion in strain-relaxed Si(1)-(x)Ge(x) with x = 0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.50. The activation energy drops from 4.7 eV in Si and Si(0.90)Ge(0.10) to 3.2 eV at x = 0.50. This value compares with the literature value for Ge self-diffusion in Ge, suggesting Ge-like diffusion already at x approximately equal to 0.5. The effect of strain on the diffusion was also studied showing a decrease in diffusion coefficient and an increase in activation energy upon going from compressive over relaxed to tensile strain.     

Non-ergodic instability and the quadrupolar glass state in K(CN) x Br1−x and (NaCN) x (KCN)1−x

Random strain fields, due to substitutional disorder, couple to translational and orientational dynamic modes in plastic crystals. One distinguishes the cases of weak and strong random fields. In weak fields, the crystal comes close to a structural phase transition. Then elastic restoring forces are weak while internal friction dominates. The resulting non ergodic instability marks the onset of a structural glass state. The evolution of the glass state is discussed within a selfconsistent theory. The results of an extensive numerical study are compared with experiment. In presence of strong random fields no instability occurs, and orientational freezing is a continuous process.     

Optical Properties of the (CuInSe2) x ·(2ZnSe)1−x and (CuInTe2) x (·2ZnTe)1−x Solid Solutions

Crystals of the compounds CuInSe₂, CuInTe₂, ZnSe, and ZnTe, and the solid solutions (CuInSe₂) _x ·(2ZnSe)_1–x and (CuInTe₂) _x ·(2ZnTe)_1–x were grown by the Bridgman and chemical transport reactions methods. Their transmission and reflection spectra in the region of the main absorption line edge were studied. The forbidden band gap of the indicated materials was determined and its concentration dependences were built for the solid solutions. It is established that the forbidden band gap changes linearly with the x composition and is satisfactorily described by the square-law dependence.     

Phases and phase transitions of (NaCl)1−x(NaCN)x

(NaCl)_1–x(NaCN)_x mixed crystals with CN-concentrationsx of 0.87, 0.76, 0.71 and 0.65 have been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction. Apart from the cubic room temperature phase, a rhombohedral and an orthorhombic phase have been identified. In addition a glass state has been observed which is characterized by a strong broadening of the cubic powder lines. The phase diagram shows a wide coexistence gap between the non-cubic phases and the glass state.     

Defect-induced magnetic structure in (Ga(1)-(x)Mn(x))As

We show that magnetic structures involving partial disorder of local magnetic moments on the Mn atoms in (Ga(1)-(x)Mn(x))As lower the total energy, compared to the case of perfect ferromagnetic ordering, when As defects on the Ga sublattice are present. Such magnetic structures are found to be stable for a range of concentrations of As antisites, and this result accounts for the observed magnetic moments and critical temperatures in (Ga(1)-(x)Mn(x))As. We propose an explanation for the stabilization of the partially disordered magnetic structures and conclude that the magnetization and critical temperatures should increase substantially by reducing the number of As antisite defects.     

The phase diagram of (NH4I)x(KI)1−x

The χ,T phase diagram of (NH₄I)_x(KI)_1−x has been determined using neutron diffraction experiments and dielectric spectroscopy. At low temperatures and with decreasing χ, the sequence γ, β, ε and glass phase has been detected. The critical concentration χ_c≈0.55 separates the glassy phase with frozen-in orientational disorder from the ε phase which reveals long-range orientational order. Close to χ_c our experiments reveal evidence for two subsequent glass transitions.

Nonlocal magnetic field-tuned quantum criticality in cubic CeIn(3-x)Sn(x) (x = 0.25)

We show that antiferromagnetism in lightly (approximately 8%) Sn-doped CeIn3 terminates at a critical field mu0H(c) = 42 +/- 2 T. Electrical transport and thermodynamic measurements reveal the effective mass m* not to diverge, suggesting that cubic CeIn3 is representative of a critical spin-density wave (SDW) scenario, unlike the local quantum critical points reported in anisotropic systems such as CeCu(6-x)Au(x) and YbRh2Si(2-x)Ge(x). The existence of a maximum in m* at a lower field mu0H(x) = 30 +/- 1 T may be interpreted as a field-induced crossover from local moment to SDW behavior as the Néel temperature falls below the Fermi temperature.
