Electrooptical parameters of uniaxial crystals

For the linear effect in classes 4, ¯4, 42, 4 · m, 6, 62, and 6 m, one of the optic axes always coincides with the high-order symmetry axis c when the electric field e lies in a plane perpendicular to that axis, while the other describes a circular cone around c as e rotates in that plane. The same rotation in classes 3, 32, 3 · m, 3 m, and m · 3 m causes both optic axes to deviate from c to opposite sides by equal angles, both describing circular cones. One of the optic axes always coincides with c for any direction of e in classes 42 and 62, while the other axis describes an elliptic cone around c as e rotates in a plane inclined to c. Both optic axes describe an elliptic cone in classes 3 m, 32, and m · 3 m.     

Decay of Cs134m

The decay of the isomeric state of Cs¹³⁴ was studied. The decay half-timeT _1/2=2·93±0·05 hours was determined. From measurements carried out by means of a spectrometer with short lens, scintillation measurements and chemical separations, the non-existence of the weak decay of this state was proved, contrary to statements found previously in the literature (maximum possible intensity 0·02%, compared to the value of 1% found in the literature). The spectrum of conversion electrons was measured by a double-focusing spectrometer, and the following transition energies were determined: 127·3±0·3 keV (E3) and 138·4±0·4 keV (M4) (K:L:M+N is 92 100 27 for the 127·3 keV transition, and 206 100 31 for the 138·4 keV transition). The conversion coefficient of the 127 keV transition was measured, resulting in a value of _k =2·55±±0·4. The ratio of transition intensities isI ₁₃₈ I ₁₂₇=5·7 1000.

A four-thirds law for phase randomization of stochastically perturbed oscillators and related phenomena

LetI be a set of invariants and be a set of angle variables for a system of differential equations with anO() vector field. When time dependent stochastic perturbations, also ofO(), are added to the system, we have shown that under suitable conditionsI becomes a stochastic adiabatic invariant satisfying a diffusion equation on time scales of order 1/², in the limit as »0. Here we show that the angle variables converge weakly to a Gaussian Markov process on an O(^-4/3) time scale, and thus the phase becomes randomized at these times. Application to nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems is considered.Supported by NSF grant DMR-8704348     

Birefringence in YAlO3∶Ce between 2–5 eV

This contribution presents birefringence spectra for orthorhombic YAlO₃Ce single crystal in the region 2–5 eV. The spectra were measured by means of a reflection method of null ellipsometry and were compared with spectra of YAlO₃:Nd determined from values measured in the region of lower energies (1·1–2·2 eV). We have found that there are differences between the spectra of YAlO₃Nd and YAlO₃:Ce which are most pronounced in thea-axis direction.The author is most grateful to Ing. . Viovský CSc. for helpful discussions during the course of this work and to Monokrystaly Turnov for preparation of the samples.     

The semi-conducting properties of CdSnAs2

The paper gives the results of measuring the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity(T), the Hall coefficientR _H (T) and the magnetic susceptibility(T) forn-type CdSnAs₂. The effective mass of the electrons was determined by analysis of the measured dependences on the basis of the simple theory for an isotropic non-degenerate semi-conductor. It was found to bem _n /m ₀=2×10^–2 in the intrinsic region and does not depend on the temperature; the energy gap ise _g ⁰=0·26 eV and the molar susceptibility of the CdSnAs₂ lattice _G ^mol=–112× ×10^–6. The mobility of the electrons in the intrinsic region reaches a value of _n =25 000 cm²V^–1sec^–1 at 500°K and decreases exponentially _n T ^–1.67 with rising temperature. The density of CdSnAs₂ was determined pyknometrically,g9=5·35 g cm^–3. The measurements were made on ann-type polycrystalline sample consisting of crystals a few millimetres in diameter, which at a temperature of 100°K had a free electron concentration ofn _s =6×10¹⁶ cm^–3.

ИжМЕРЕНИЕ пОльРИжАцИИ пРОтОНОВ с ЁНЕРгИЕИ 6,7 MeV пРИ РАссЕьНИИ НА УглЕРОДЕ

A carbon polarimeter for proton polarization measurements at energies higher than 4 MeV has been designed. Considerable transmission has been attained by using a thick polarimeter target and larger scattering solid angles. The effective polarization value at the region ofE _p from 4·6 to 6·0 MeV varies only slightly with energy and attains an average value ofP _eff–0·8. Solid state detectors were used for proton recording. The instrument calibration curve was determined by means of a triple experiment.The angular distribution of polarized protons scattered elastically has been measured at an energy of 6·7 MeV and in an angle range of _lab form 30 to 120. This distribution has two minima ofP(40_lab)=–056±0·03 andP(100_lab)=–088±0·06 and one maximum ofP(70_lab)=+1·03±0·04.     

Behavior of copper in gallium arsenide with high tin concentration

Investigations were made of the electrical properties, the cathodolumiescence and photoconductivity spectra, and the temperature dependence of the majority carrier lifetime in gallium arsenide with a high concentration of tin (n=2·10¹⁸ cm^–3, 1.5·10¹⁷ cm^–3) that was doped with copper under different diffusion regimes. Measurements of the Hall effect revealed centers with an ionization energy 0.175 ± 0.005 eV, their concentration depending on the rate of cooling of the samples. The cathodoluminescence and Hall effect data suggest that the cathodoluminescence band observed at 1.35 eV in GaAsSnCu is associated with radiative transitions of electrons to centers with _a =E_v + 0.175 eV. The hole lifetime in GaAsSnCu has a complicated temperature dependence which can be explained qualitatively by the presence of two types of capture center.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 58–63, September, 1980.     

The electronic structure of Rhodium: Angle-resolved studies of photoelectron and secondary electron emission

We report electron spectroscopic studies of the Rh(111) surface, with the aim to obtain bulk band-structure information. We have measured normal photoemision using tunable synchrotron radiation in the range of photon energies between 11 eV and 55 eV, and angle-dependent photoemission along the LUX and LKL azimuths using the He resonance lines (=21.2 eV, 40.8 eV). To complement these data, we studied angleresolved secondary electron emission after excitation with electrons and photons. We derive parts of the one-electron energy dispersionE(k) along L, and determine the energies of several bulk critical points (in eV):E(> ₇₊/₈₊)=–2.75±0.10,E(> ₈₊=–0.85±0.10,E(> _7–=16.1±0.5,E(> _6–/> _8–)=20.5±0.5,E(X ₇₊)=–5.0±0.1,E(L ₆₊)=–5.6±0.5,E(L ₆₊/L ₄₊₊₅₊)=–2.65±0.10,E(L ₆₊)=9.0±0.5 eV. Our results are compared to several available band structure calculations.     

Study of the influence of iron and lanthanum oxides on the band structure of Pb(Zr,Ti) O3

The measurements of diffuse reflectance spectra in the range of 400; 2500 nm and of photoacoustic spectra in the range of 350; 800 nm were used for the study of the influence of iron (III) oxide and lathanum oxide additions on the band structure of polycrystalline lead zirconate — lead titanate solid solutions. The molar ratio of zirconium and titanium in the studied solid solutions was 60 40, and the concentrations of the dopants werex FeO_1.5, andy LaO_1.5, werex 0; 0·05 mol, andy 0; 0·10 mol, respectively. The diffuse reflectance spectra were expressed in terms of the Kubelka-Munk function values versus incident electromagnetic radiation energy. These dependences were decomposed into partial absorption bands using a computer. Transitions of charged carriers between energy levels or bands which differ mutually by the energy of 0·9, 1·2–1·3, 1·6, 1·65–1·7, 2·4–2·5, 2·75–2·8, 2·9–3·2, 3·4–3·8 eV, were identified. Their intensities depend on the concentration of Fe and/or on La in the Pb(Zr_0.60 Ti_0.40) solid solutions.The authors are very grateful to Mrs. Iva Havlasová, Vra Andrsová, Ing. Jan Netuka, and Mrs. Liana Karlíková from the first authors' institute, for their technical assistance.     

Dynamic scaling for spin glasses near the de Almeida-Thouless line

We calculate the dynamic local susceptibility () of an Ising spin glass near the de Almeida-Thouless (AT) line within the soft spin dynamics for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We find a crossover from analytic behaviour of () at =0 above the AT line to a power law behaviour ()(–i) ^v on the AT line and discuss the analytic properties of the crossover function. The frequencyscale is proportional to ^1/v , where measures the distance from the AT line. We determine the spectrum of relaxation times which diverge as ^1–1/v . The average relaxation time diverges as ^–1/v wherev1/2. In addition we determine the absolute frequency scale and prove the consistency of the ansatz of Sompolinsky and Zippelius ()–(0)(–i) ^v at and below the AT line.     

Dielectric properties of titanium and gadolinium doped MgO single crystals

The dielectric properties of titanium doped magnesium oxide (Ti/MgO) and gadolinium doped magnesium oxide (Gd/MgO) single crystals have been measured at room temperature over the frequency range 500 Hz to 50 kHz. For both the crystals, the dielectric constant is found to be independent of frequency and the ac conductivity Re{_ae} agrees well with the relation Re{_ae} ⁿ , being the angular frequency with n=0.84±0.05 for Ti/MgO andn=0.81±0.03 for Gd/MgO. The data fits well with the relation ^n–1(n<1), being the dielectric loss factor. An explanation may be found on the basis of the hopping phenomenon.

The interaction of pions with deuterons

Summary There has been remarkable experimental and theoretical progress in the field ofd interactions in the last few years. Within the uncertainties of the theory the experimental data in thed breakup and thed elastic scattering reaction can be fairly well reproduced. Theoretical problems remain in the absorption channel, but there is a hope that with a few additional measurements of tensor polarization and spin transfer observables in this reaction a partial wave amplitude analysis may localize the theoretical difficulties. In addition it is very important to provide data on the deuteron tensor polarizations and the spin transfer parameters for thed elastic scattering reaction in order to obtain a reliable set of phase shifts, which may reveal resonance structures in this reaction channel.Invited talk to the symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei, Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, May 27–June 1, 1985.     

Mössbauer six-line spectra position analysis for Fe57 in metallic iron

The formulae for evaluating the parameters of magnetically split Mössbauer six-line spectra with quadrupole splitting from measured line positions are derived. Some special cases are considered and the suitability of the centre of gravity rule for the shift determination as well as the case of the internal magnetic field measurement from the distance of the outermost lines of the Mössbauer sextet are discussed. From the measured spectra of metallic iron the ratio of magnitudes of the nuclear magnetic moments for Fe⁵⁷ ¦ ₁/ ₀¦= 1·701±0·008 is derived by means of the proposed method. Further, the internal magnetic field intensity at the Fe⁵⁷ nucleus in metallic ironH _i =(329·4±1·2) kOe and other quantities are determined.The author is indebted to Dr. M. ernohorský for his continual encouragement and to Dr. J. Kuera for his valuable remarks on this paper. Thanks are also due to Mr. S. Havlíek and Mr. J. Hlavo for their help with the measurements and with the evaluation of the spectra.     

Diffractive dissociation reaction np → Λ0K0p for incident neutron momenta between 30 and 70 GeV/c BIS-2 collaboration

We present results of the exclusive diffractive reaction np ⁰K⁰p at 0·08 < |t|< 0·53 GeV²/c² and momenta between 30–70 GeV/c at the Serpukhov neutron beam. Thet-dependence is exp (Bt) withB= 11·4± 2·3 (GeV/c)^–2 and it exhibits the diffractive minimum at ¦t¦ 0·28 GeV²/c² for ⁰K⁰ massesM < 1·8 GeV/c².B decreases with increasingM. Correlation with the beam direction is observed in the rest frame of the ⁰K⁰ system: the cross section rises for the forward-going ⁰. The rise is more pronounced for higherM. The cross section of reaction np ⁰K⁰p for 0<|t|< 0·53 GeV²/c² is 10·3 ± 2·5 ± 2·8 b.     

Thermal conductivity and specific heat of amorphous Zr0.67Ni0.33 after structural relaxation

Low-temperature measurements of the thermal conductivity (0.3KT5K) and of the specific heatC (0.07KT3.5K) of splat-cooled amorphous superconducting Zr_0.67Ni_0.33(T _c 2.7K) after different annealing stages are reported. increases progressively (up to 55%) after annealing. An analysis of with the help of normal-state measurements belowT _c in an overcritical field shows that the phonon-electron scattering remains unaltered after annealing. Hence the increase in must be entirely attributed to structure-induced (intrinsic) scattering, i.e. by two-level tunneling states (TLS) at low temperatures (T1K). The specific heat shows a small decrease aboveT _c (by 8%) which is attributed to a small diminution of the electronic density of states at the Fermi level and to a small increase in the Debye temperature. ForTT _c where TLS dominate, the specific heatC decreases less upon annealing than expected from the increase of in the standard tunneling model. This points to a change in the TLS relaxation time spectrum upon annealing, as observed previously for Zr _x Cu_1–x glasses.     

Quantum shot noise: Expansions in powers of the pulse density

Quantum shot noise consists of individual pulses which contribute time-dependent (operator) potentials toward a total potentialV(t). The averaged quantity T exp _t0 ^t dtV(t) in general can no longer be calculated explicitly, in contrast to the classical case, and expansions are of interest. Noncommutative cumulant expansions are not directly applicable if the correlation functions ofV(t) have singularities, as happens in applications. It is shown here that these expansions, when applied to quantum shot noise, can be partially summed to give expansions in powers of the pulse density. Three types of such expansions are established explicitly, and for two of them the derivation is direct. For one of them the first-order approximation is closely connected to the so-called unified theory of spectral-line broadening.     

Theory of ferromagnetic resonance line shape in insulators

The paper discusses the absorption of the energy of a high-frequency field by a magnetic sample from the point of view of the interaction of spin waves with photons and spin waves amongst themselves. A general expression for the form of the absorption curve is derived, using the method known from the quantum theory of radiation and assuming very weak fields.
