The influence of plastic deformation on the magnetostriction constant of nickel

The magnetostriction constant of nickel was measured as a function of plastic deformation up to an elongation of 30%. The values of the magnetostriction constant in deformed samples deviate considerably, a fact which cannot be explained by errors of measurement. The absolute value of the magnetostriction constant decreases with increasing plastic deformation (by around 5%).

Systematic study of muon transfer to sulphur dioxide

In a systematic study of the transfer process to sulphur dioxide, in seven different H₂ + SO₂ gas mixtures, the time spectra of the muonic sulphur X-rays yield muon transfer rates to the SO₂ molecule, deduced from the lifetimes of the p atoms, which agree all well with each other. The muonic oxygen time spectra show an additional structure as if p atoms of another kind were present. Reduced transfer rates_O are reproducible if one uses the model of ephemeral p atoms. The intensity ratios between the different kinds of p atoms are also discussed in the framework of this model and the one of black and white p atoms.     

Zur Temperaturabhängigkeit einiger Kenngrössen der Verfestigungskurven von Zinkeinkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es werden Ergebnisse beschrieben über die Temperaturabhängigkeit: der kritischen Schubspannung ₀, des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , im BereichA der Verfestigungskurve; des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _B im BereichB, der Längea _A des BereichsA und der Schubspannung _A am Ende des BereichsA. Die kritische Schubspannung wächst im Temperaturbereich 225–344°K linear mit abnehmender Temperatur. Der Temperaturverlauf des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , stimmt überein mit älteren Messungen an h.k.p. Metallen. Ähnlich verhält sich der Verfestigungskoeffizient _B . Die Schubspannung am Ende des BereichsA wird durch thermisch aktivierte Vorgänge beeinflußt. Der BereichA verkürzt sich im Temperaturbereich 0–85°C linear mit zunehmender Temperatur. Temperaturwechselversuche zeigen, daß im BereichB thermisch irreversible Änderungen in der Versetzungsstruktur auftreten.

Magnetic susceptibility of a one-dimensional Fermi system and dielectric function of a two-dimensional Coulomb gas

A relation between the magnetic susceptibility(k, ) of an interacting 1-D Fermi system and the dielectric function(q) of a 2-D Coulomb gas is established. By applying a cluster-expansion technique and by using known results for the pair-correlation function of the Coulomb gas we obtain a number of expressions for(q) which apply in different regions of theq-plane and in different temperature intervals. These results supplement the existing picture of the transition from non-metallic to metallic behaviour occurring in the 2-D Coulomb gas as the temperature increases. The relation between(q) and(k, ) is then used to derive explicit expressions for(k, ) from these results for(q). The change in the dielectric response of the 2-D Coulomb gas is reflected by a change in the magnetic response of the 1-D Fermi system: as a function of the spin non-flip coupling constant the susceptibility of the Fermi system changes from normal paramagnetic behaviour to non-magnetic behaviour characteristic of a bound singlet-spin ground state, as decreases. Our result for the gap in the spin excitation spectrum of the Fermi system is in agreement with the results of other authors.On sabbatical leave from Institut für Theoretische Physik, TU Hannover, GermanyWork at U.C.S.B. supported in part by the National Science Foundation     

Correlated majority model

We extend the bichromatic majority model by including (one-dimensional isotropic) correlations and numerically discuss, through Monte Carlo simulations, the simple, 1/3, and 2/3 majority rules. We calculate, as functions of the concentration and correlation degree, the mean finite cluster size, and the order parameterm as well as their respective critical exponents and. We find1 regardless of the correlation degree or the type of majority. Also, a supplementary divergence of is observed at the>0 borderline.

Decay of the Bethe–Salpeter Kernel and Bound States for Lattice Classical Ferromagnetic Spin Systems at High Temperature

We consider lattice classical ferromagnetic spin systems at high temperature (1) with nearest neighbor interactions and even single-spin distributions (ssd). Associated with each system is an imaginary time lattice quantum field theory. It is known that there is a particle of mass m–ln in the energy-momentum spectrum. If s ⁴–3s ²²<0, where s ^k is the kth moment of the ssd, and is sufficiently small, we show that in the two-particle subspace there is no mass spectrum up to 2m. For >0 we show that the only mass spectrum in (m, 2m) is a bound state of mass m _b=2m+ln(1–)+O(), where =(+2s ²²)^–1. A bound on the decay of the kernel of a Bethe–Salpeter equation is obtained and used to prove these results.     

Experimental survey of the sticking problem in muon catalyzed dt fusion

The sticking process dt + n, which constitutes the most severe limit to the number of fusions which a muon can catalyze, is reviewed. Many attempts were made to determine by calculations and measurements the probability for initial sticking _s ⁰ (immediately after dt fusion) and for final sticking _s (after the came to rest). Previous results based on neutron disappearance rates and on the observation of -X-rays were controversial and also in some disagreement with theory. New data are reported from PSI on direct observation of final sticking, using a setup with the St. Petersburg ionization chamber. These data mark a significant improvement in reliability and may clarify questions concerning previous discrepancies. The new results is _s(0.56±0.04)%, lower than the theory prediction _s=(0.65±0.03)%, at medium density.     

The Gelfand-Levitan equation and its application to the scattering of neutrons on protons

The Gelfand-Levitan equation for the kernelP(r, r) (withrr) is formulated and then applied for determining the scattering potential in the scattering of slow neutrons on protons (for the case when the dependence of the nuclear forces on the spins can be neglected and onlys-scattering need be considered). The potentials obtained are the same as the Bargmann ones, found by a different method.

A Rigorous Derivation of a Linear Kinetic Equation of Fokker–Planck Type in the Limit of Grazing Collisions

We rigorously derive a linear kinetic equation of Fokker–Planck type for a 2-D Lorentz gas in which the obstacles are randomly distributed. Each obstacle of the Lorentz gas generates a potential V( ), where V is a smooth radially symmetric function with compact support, and >0. The density of obstacles diverges as ^– , where >0. We prove that when 0< <1/8 and =2+1, the probability density of a test particle converges as 0 to a solution of our kinetic equation.     

Influence of manganese and oxygen content on tetragonal deformation of copper ferrite

Pure copper ferrite and solid solutions of 0.9 parts of copper ferrite CuFe₂ and 0.1 part of hausmannite Mn₃ were heated in air or in oxygen at various temperatures and either cooled slowly or quenched. All samples with cubic spinel structure contained less oxygen than required by the ideal spinel formula Me²⁺Me ₂ ³⁺ O ₄ ^2– . The addition of hausmannite promotes the formation and/or stabilization of the cubic structure. The lower the heating temperature, the higher the oxygen deficiency necessary for the preparation of cubic samples.

Dynamic structure factor in a random diffusion model

Let {X _t:0} denote random walk in the random waiting time model, i.e., simple random walk with jump ratew ^–1(X _t), where {w(x):x^d} is an i.i.d. random field. We show that (under some mild conditions) theintermediate scattering function F(q,t)=E ₀ (q^d) is completely monotonic int (E ₀ denotes double expectation w.r.t. walk and field). We also show that thedynamic structure factor S(q, w)=2 ₀ cos(t)F(q, t) exists for 0 and is strictly positive. Ind=1, 2 it diverges as 1/||^1/2, resp. –ln(||), in the limit 0; ind3 its limit value is strictly larger than expected from hydrodynamics. This and further results support the conclusion that the hydrodynamic region is limited to smallq and small such that ||D |q|², whereD is the diffusion constant.     

Zero value of the Schwarzschild mass for an asymptotically Euclidian system of gravitational waves

A class of the asymptotically Euclidian space-times is shown to exist for which the Schwarzschild mass is equal to zero. The coordinate atlases of these space-times satisfy two additional conditions: _k (-gg ^0k )=0 and _ik ⁰ _0g ^ik - _ik ^k _0g ⁰ⁱ =0. In aT-orthogonal metricgs ²=g ₀₀ dt ² -g dx dx these conditions take a simple form: ₀(detg )=0 and (₀ g )(₀ g )=0.     

Single crystal diffraction patterns of germanium. Part II

The rocking curves of Ge (111), (220), (333) for CuK ₁ radiation were measured by means of the triple-crystal diffractometer. Perfect silicon single crystals, cut parallel to the (111) plane were used in the monochromator part of the triple-crystal diffractometer. The results prove the suitability of such a monochromator for studying diffraction patterns.

Derivations commuting with abelian gauge actions on lattice systems

Let be an action of a compact abelian groupG on aC*-algebraA, and assume that the fixed-point subalgebraA is an AF-algebra. We show that if is a closed *-derivation onA commuting with , and the restriction of toA generates a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms, then itself is a generator. In particular, the result applies if is an infinite product action ofG on a UHF algebra. Furthermore, if in this situation ₁ and ₂ are two derivations both satisfying the hypotheses on , and ₁ and ₂ have the same restriction toA , then there exists a one-parameter subgroup of the action with generator ₀ such thatD(₁)D(₂)D(₀) is a joint core for the three derivations, and ₂=₁+₀ on this core.     

Cyclotron instabilities of a two-component electron plasma

A study is made of instability at frequencies close to the electron cyclotron frequency _B and its multiples, subject to the presence of two different groups of electrons. It is shown that a mixture of hot and cold electrons ( _ph ² _pc ² ) in the region of frequencies s _B, s2 can be unstable with respect to waves of the flute type (k _z=0) with maximum increment _max ( _ph/_pc). _B, if there exists an interval of transversal velocities in whichF/ >0. When the curvature of the magnetic field is taken into account, even waves with _B can be unstable in such a plasma. The effect of spatial inhomogeneity of the hot component on flute-type instability and on two-beam cyclotron instability is also examined.The author extends his thanks to A. B.

A note on the Watanabe theory of weak interactions

It is shown that according to the Watanabe theory of weak interactions a resonant scattering of electrons by protons must take place. The resonant energy depends on the massm _B of the intermediate boson. Form _B=2300m _e this energy is about 213 MeV in the centre of the mass system (c. m. s.). The energy width at resonance is 1·4 MeV.

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.
