Trapping and cascading of eigenvalues in the large coupling limit

We consider eigenvaluesE of the HamiltonianH =–+V+W,W compactly supported, in the limit. ForW0 we find monotonic convergence ofE to the eigenvalues of a limiting operatorH (associated with an exterior Dirichlet problem), and we estimate the rate of convergence for 1-dimensional systems. In 1-dimensional systems withW0, or withW changing sign, we do not find convergence. Instead, we find a cascade phenomenon, in which, as , each eigenvalueE stays near a Dirichlet eigenvalue for a long interval (of lengthO( )) of the scaling range, quickly drops to the next lower Dirichlet eigenvalue, stays there for a long interval, drops again, and so on. As a result, for most large values of the discrete spectrum ofH is close to that ofE , but when reaches a transition region, the entire spectrum quickly shifts down by one. We also explore the behavior of several explicit models, as .Max Kade Foundation FellowPartially supported by USNSF under Grant DMS-8416049On leave of absence from Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA.

Local magnetic moment and hyperfine field in hydrogenated iron and iron-vanadium alloy

The local magnetic moment and hyperfine fieldB _hf at Fe and V sites in hydrogenated iron and iron-vanadium were calculated using the discrete variational method. The variations in andB _hf with H occupation of the octahedral (O) site were considered. It was found that when H occupies the O site neighbouring an Fe atom, both local moment and hyperfine field at this atom decrease linearly with increasing number of H atoms. The rate of decrease is larger for Fe in iron as compared to iron in vanadium. On the other hand, when H resides at an O site next neighbouring an Fe atom, whether in iron metal or in iron-vanadium, the Fe magnetic moment increases slowly, while the hyperfine field remains almost constant. The V moment in iron, which is negative (–0.83 _B ), becomes less negative (–0.30 _B) as H occupies the neighboring O sites, whereas slight changes occur (–0.88 _B) when H is at the next neighbouring O site. The net effect of H on Fe in iron is to decrease the average magnetic moment at a rate of 1.2 _B per H/Fe for low H content. On the other hand, the average Fe moment in an iron-vanadium alloy increases if H resides at O sites which are immediate neigbours of V and next neighbours of Fe. This may explain the development of a magnetic state on hydrogenation of Fe-V alloys, which is exhibited by the specific heat and susceptibility measurements. The changes in the isomer shift were found to agree with experimental trends.     

A new solution for dilaton-Maxwell gravity

An interesting static spherically symmetric solution corresponding to Einstein-Maxwell gravity coupled to a dilaton field with negative kinetic term has been obtained. This solution is characterized by the set of two arbitrary parameters, the physical mass ₀ and electric chargeQ. It has two horizons on which the metric, scalar curvature and both dilaton and electromagnetic fields are regular. Another feature of this solution is that the physical mass is bounded by the electric charge as ₀2¦Q¦ (unlike the Reisner-Nordström solution for which ₀>-¦Q¦). The structure of the scalar curvature has been analyzed.On leave from: Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Microphysics, Moscow State University, 119899 Moscow, Russia

Holes in the probability density of strongly colored noise driven systems

A qualitative change in the topology of the joint probability densityP(,x), which occurs for strongly colored noise in multistable systems, has recently been observed first by analog simulation (F. Moss and F. Marchesoni,Phys. Lett. A 131:322 (1988)) and confirmed by matrix continued fraction methods (Th. Leiber and H. Riskin, unpublished), and by analytic theory (P. Hänggi, P. Jung, and F. Marchesoni,J. Stat. Phys., this issue). Systems studied were of the classx=–U(x)/x+(t,), whereU(x) is a multistable potential and (t, ) is a colored, Gaussian noise of intensityD, for which =0, and (t) (s)=(D/)exp(–t–s/). When the noise correlation time is smaller than some critical value ₀, which depends onD, the two-dimensional densityP(,x) has the usual topology [P. Jung and H. Risken,Z. Phys. B 61:367 (1985); F. Moss and P. V. E. McClintock,Z. Phys. B 61:381 (1985)]: a pair of local maxima ofP(,x), which correspond to a pair of adjacent local minima ofU(x), are connected by a single saddle point which lies on thex axis. When >₀, however,the single saddle disappears and is replaced by a pair of off-axis saddles. A depression, or hole, which is bounded by the saddles and the local maxima thus appears. The most probable trajectory connecting the two potential wells therefore does not pass through the origin for >₀, but instead must detour around the local barrier. This observation implies that successful mean-first-passage-time theories of strongly colored noise driven systems must necessarily be two dimensional (Hänggiet al.). We have observed these holes for several potentialsU(x): (1)a soft, bistable potential by analog simulation (Moss and Marchesoni); (2) a periodic potential [Th. Leiber, F. Marchesoni, and H. Risken,Phys. Rev. Lett. 59:1381 (1987)] by matrix continued fractions; (3) the usual hard, bistable potential,U(x)=–ax ²/2+bx ⁴/4, by analog simulations only; and (4) a random potential for which the forcingf(x)=–U(x)/x is an approximate Gaussian with nonzero correlation length, i.e., colored spatiotemporal noise, by analog simulation. There is a critical curve ₀(D) in the versusD plane which divides the two topological behaviors. For a fixed value ofD, this curve is shifted toward larger values of ₀ for progressively weaker barriers between the wells. Therefore, strong barriers favor the observation of this topological transformation at smaller values of . Recently, an analytic expression for the critical curve, valid asymptotically in the small-D limit, has been obtained (Hänggiet al.).This paper will appear in a forthcoming issue of theJournal of Statistical Physics.     

Studium der Stationären und Laufenden Schichtung in der Entladung in Neon Mit Hilfe eines Lokalen Hochfrequenzfeldes

Zusammenfassung Es wurde ein Verfahren zur Erregung von stationären Schichten, der Schichtungswelle und der laufenden Schichten in der Gleichstromentladung ausgearbeitet, das auf der Einwirkung eines Hochfrequenzfeldes auf einen kurzen Abschnitt der positiven Säule beruht. Dieses Verfahren wurde zum Studium aller drei angeführten Schichtungsarten in Neon benützt, insbesondere jedoch zum Studium des Zusammenhanges zwischen den laufenden und den stationären Schichten.Bei stationären Schichten wurden zweifache Strukturen festgestellt und es wurde deren Abhängigkeit vom Entladungsstrom und von der Größe des erregenden Hochfrequenzfeldes verfolgt.Bei der Schichtungswelle wurde die Stelle deren Entstehung ermittelt und es wurde nachgewiesen, daß das Hochfrequenzfeld diese Welle lokal an der Stelle dessen Einwirkung auf die positive Säule hervorruft.Bei den laufenden Schichten wurde deren Resonanzfrequenz in Abhängigkeit vom Entladungsstrom und die Abhängigkeit der Wellenlänge der Schichten von der Frequenz untersucht.Es wurde festgestellt, daß der extrapolierte Wert der Wellenlänge für die Nullfrequenz erheblich niedriger ist als die Länge der stationären Schichten. Weiter wurde eine Übereinstimmung der Frequenz der laufenden Schichten in der Schichtungswelle mit der Resonanzfrequenz der künstlich hervorgerufenen laufenden Schichten festgestellt.

The Schrödinger equation and canonical perturbation theory

LetT ₀(, )+V be the Schrödinger operator corresponding to the classical HamiltonianH ₀()+V, whereH ₀() is thed-dimensional harmonic oscillator with non-resonant frequencies =(₁, ... , _d ) and the potentialV(q ₁, ... ,q _d) is an entire function of order (d+1)^–1. We prove that the algorithm of classical, canonical perturbation theory can be applied to the Schrödinger equation in the Bargmann representation. As a consequence, each term of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger series near any eigenvalue ofT ₀(, ) admits a convergent expansion in powers of of initial point the corresponding term of the classical Birkhoff expansion. Moreover ifV is an even polynomial, the above result and the KAM theorem show that all eigenvalues _n (, ) ofT ₀+V such thatn coincides with a KAM torus are given, up to order , by a quantization formula which reduces to the Bohr-Sommerfeld one up to first order terms in .     

Characteristic parameters of recombination centres

The paper points to the possibility of describing the properties of recombination centres by means of the quantitiesc _p/c _n ande _n/e _p, in contrast to the existing method based mainly on the so-called energy position of recombination levels. The proposal is supported by a simple statistical analysis and by experimental material and has some advantages over the method used hitherto.

Symmetries and half-sided modular inclusions of von Neumann algebras

LetN, be a von Neumann algebras on a Hilbert space , a common cyclic and separating vector. Assume to be cyclic and also separating forN . Denote by , _N , _N the modular operators to (, ), (N, ), resp (N , ). Assume now ^-it N ^it N for allt 0. (Such type of inclusions ((N U, ) , ) are called half-sided modular.) Then the modular groups ^it , _N ^ir , _N ^is ,t, r, s generate a unitary representation of the group S1(2, )/Z ₂ of positive energy.Another result is related to two half-sided modular inclusions (₁ , ) and (₂ , ). Under proper conditions the three modular groups ^it , ₁ ^ir , ₂ ^is ,t, r, s generate the three-dimensional subgroup of O(2, 1) of two commuting translations and the Lorentz transformation.Partly supported by the DFG, SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik.     

Rate equations in the hopping transport

The usual kinetic equations for the site occupation probabilities in an external field are solved exactly in a simple one-dimensional periodic model with two kinds of atoms using a) free boundary conditions and order of limitsN, 0 needed for a proper treatment of the dc conductivity here b) boundary conditions with metallic contacts and order of limitsN, 0 and c) the same boundary conditions but reversed order of limiting processes 0,N typical of e.g. numerical and percolation treatments. (N and are the number of sites and frequency.) It is demonstrated that though the bulk dc conductivity is the same in all three cases, local bulk properties of the material are strongly dependent on the régime used. The role of the order of all three limiting processes 0,N+ andn+ (N–n+) for local shifts of the chemical potential _n in the dc limit is examined (n is the number of the relevant site calculated from a boundary of the chain). It is shown especially that the rate equation treatment (régime a) on the one hand and numerical or percolation treatments (régime c) on the other hand never yield the same bulk values of _r.     

The vibrational spectra of sulphur and selenium in the amorphous state and their similarity

The paper gives the absorption spectrum of liquid selenium in a wave-length region of 2 to 25 and investigates the temperature dependence of the absorption bands in a temperature range up to 400C. It also gives the absorption spectrum of amorphous and liquid sulphur and investigates the temperature dependence of the absorption bands in a temperature range up to 400C in a wave-length region of 2 to 25 . Preliminary measurements were made of the infra-red emission spectrum of the heat nature of liquid sulphur and liquid selenium. The paper then investigates the similarity of the absorption spectra of amorphous and liquid sulphur and selenium in the whole wave-length range measured today up to 135 and 150 respectively, and an attempt is made at an empirical correlation between the absorption bands of these elements.In another paper we wish to deal with the interpretation proper of the vibration spectra of sulphur and selenium.     

Magnetism in bcc Fe-Al alloy

The magnetic moment , hyperfine fieldB _hf and isomer shiftIS at the Fe site in bcc Fe-Al alloys were calculated from first principle. Contrary to the belief that Al atoms reside in the iron lattice as magnetic holes, it was found that the local magnetic moment of Fe is decreased when Al is at a nearest neighbour site (NN), while it increases if Al is at a next-nearest neighbour site (NNN). Consequently, the average per Fe atom was found to be, initially, independent of Al content. Assuming a linear dependence of _Fe on the number of Al atoms at NN and NNN sites, we calculated the average, which was found to agree with experimental results of cold worked alloys for disordered Fe-Al alloy. On the other hand, antiferromagnetic coupling appears in the CsCl ordered structures. The averageB _hf was also calculated and compared to experimental data and the trends in theIS are considered.     

Spectral superbroadening of self-focused picosecond laser pulses in D2O

Intense picosecond light pulses of a mode-locked Nd: glass laser at _L =1054 nm (fundamental wavelength) and _SH =527 nm (second harmonic wavelength) are passed through a sample of D₂O under self-focusing conditions. Spectrally structured superbroadened, spatially bell-shaped emission in the forward direction is obtained. Primary generation processes are pump-pulse-degenerate stimulated parametric four-photon interaction (₁ + _{1 3} + ₄) and stimulated Raman scattering (_{1 R} + ), which occur concurrently (₁= _L or _SH angular pump frequency, #x03C9; _R first Stokes frequency, #x03C9; signal frequency, #x03C9;₃ signal frequency, #x03C9;₄ idler frequency). The parametric four-photon interaction occurs under collinear non-phase-matched conditions and under longitudinally phase-matched, transversally non-phase-matched (erenkov-like) conditions. Subsequent interaction processes are pump-pulse-nondegenerate four-photon interaction of the type ₁ + _{R 3} + ₄, coherent antiStokes Raman scattering (CARS, ₁ + ₁ – _{4 3}), inverse Raman scattering ( _A + ₁ + ), and cascading light up-conversion of the type ₁ + _(i) – _{R (i+1)}.

Intersections of random walks. A direct renormalization approach

Various intersection probabilities of independent random walks ind dimensions are calculated analytically by a direct renormalization method, adapted from polymer physics. This heuristic approach, based on Edwards' continuum model, leads to a straightforward derivation and also to refinements of Lawler's results for the simultaneous intersections of two walks in ⁴, or three walks in ³. These results are generalized toP walks in ^d *, ,P2. Ford<4, an infinite set of universal critical exponents _L ,L1, are derived. They govern the asymptotic probability thatL star walks in ^d , with a common origin, do not intersect before timeS. The _L 's are calculated up to orderO(²), whered=4–. This information is used to calculate the probability that a set of independent random walks in ^d or ^d ,d4, (respectivelyd3) form a given topological networks of multiple intersection points, in the absence of any other double point (respectively triple point). This is generalized to a network in dimension with exclusion ofP-tuple points. The method is quite general and can be used to calculate any critical intersection probability, and provides the probabilist with a large variety of exact results (yet to be proven rigorously).     

Filling of quasibound states by electrons in a schwarzchild field

Quasistationary states with energies < exist in the vicinity of a Schwarzchild black hole. The process of filling of these states by massive spinor particles is examined. The analysis is conducted in the Pauli approximation for small black holes M 1. In this case, it turns out that the distribution is a thermal distribution.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zabedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 75–77, August, 1983.     

Influence of inhomogeneities in magnetic crystal on ferromagnetic resonance line shape

The general theory of the preceding paper is applied to a concrete case. The spin wave interaction operator, ^s , is derived by quantizing a phenomenological expression, which expresses the contribution to the energy of the magnetic sample, caused by fluctuations in the anisotropic and exchange interaction. The influence of thermally excited spin waves on the absorption of energy from a high-frequency field and the justification for the application of the general results of the preceding paper are discussed on the basis of the form of the operator ^s . The interaction operator of the magnetic sample with the h-f field is also determined, and it is used to give a definite form to the expression for the resonance curve of the imaginary part of the susceptibility '. Using the matrix elements of the operator ^s we calculate the quantitiy, which formally corresponds to the width of the resonance -curve. The magnitude of is estimated numerically and our results are compared with those obtained by A. M. Clogston et al. and E. Schlömann for the line width in monocrystals and the shape of the resonance curve in polycrystals respectively. The expression obtained on the basis of the theory of the preceding paper for the frequency shift diverges in our case. The way in which to avoid this divergence is indicated.

Mean-Field Critical Behavior for the Contact Process

The contact process is a model of spread of an infectious disease. Combining with the result of ref. 1, we prove that the critical exponents take on the mean-field values for sufficiently high dimensional nearest-neighbor models and for sufficiently spread-out models with d>4:()– _c as _c and ()( _c–)^–1 as _c, where () and () are the spread probability and the susceptibility of the infection respectively, and _c is the critical infection rate. Our results imply that the upper critical dimension for the contact process is at most 4.
