Hydromagnetic laminar flow of a conducting fluid in an annulus in presence of a radial magnetic field

The object of the present paper is to study the MHD effects on the laminar flow of a viscous, incompressible and conducting fluid in an annulus with arbitrary time-varying pressure gradient and arbitrary initial velocity in presence of a radial magnetic field. Using finite Hankel transform, solutions for both the unsteady and steady flows under different prescribed pressure gradients have been found out.Notation H a constant characterising the intensity of the magnetic field - p hydrostatic pressure - _e magnetic permeability - coefficient of viscosity - kinematic coefficient of voscosity - conductivity of the medium - density - a radius of the inner cylinder - b radius of the outer cylinder - parameter - s positive root - J (sr) Bessel's function of first kind of ordergl - Y (sr) Bessel's function of second kind of order     

Experimental modelling of groove effect on finline transitions at Ka-Band

The mounting groove of finline circuits is always the area of research for low loss E-Plane components. The normal practice says, the groove depth should be kept /4 or /2 according to the termination at the top surface for electrical short inside the waveguide. Here we have investigated the effect experimentally at Ka-Band for short ended circuit grooves. It has been found that if the groove depth is kept /10, just adequate to hold the card vertical rigidly, considerable improvement has been observed in the Insertion Loss of the line. An improvement of 0.6 dB has been observed with /4 to /10 groove depth for short ended circuit for Symmetric unilateral finline.     

Ising-like field theory

A field theory model onR ² in which the basic fields are Ising spins instead of Gaussian spins is examined. Using statistical mechanics techniques we discuss the ultraviolet and the infrared problems. In particular we discuss a technique yielding the asymptotic expansion in of the ground state energy, as 0, without using the cluster expansion.Supported in part by Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche.     

Modified London model for the determination of λ and ζ in a high κ superconductor

We present a modified London model suggested by Brandt [1–3] which introduces a finite vortex core size appropriate for isotropic superconductors in which the average internal field is less than approximately (1/4)H _c2. TheSR lineshape resulting from this model possesses a distinctive shape due to the magnetic penetration depth and the vortex core diameter (approximately equal to twice the coherence length ). However, for a given lineshape, there is a large range of values of and which produce nearly the same lineshape. Lineshape smearing caused by disorder in the vortex lattice increases uncertainty in values for and . If well-determined values of either (T) or (T) are not available from another technique, both of them can be determined bySR measurements alone if runs in more than one applied field at the same temperature are fit with and as shared parameters. We also present our method of estimating the degree of disorder in the vortex lattice.     

On the invariant sets of a family of quadratic maps

The Julia setB for the mappingz (z–)² is considered, where is a complex parameter. For 2 a new upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension is given, and the monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to the equilibrium measure onB are introduced. A method for calculating all of the polynomials is provided, and certain identities which obtain among coefficients of the three-term recurrence relations are given. A unifying theme is the relationship betweenB and -chains ± (± (± ...), which is explored for –1/42 and for with ||1/4, with the aid of the Böttcher equation. ThenB is shown to be a Hölder continuous curve for ||<1/4.Supported by NSF Grant MCS-8104862Supported by NSF Grant MCS-8002731     

Geometry and combinatorics of Julia sets of real quadratic maps

For real a correspondence is made between the Julia setB forz(z–)², in the hyperbolic case, and the set of-chains±(±(±..., with the aid of Cremer's theorem. It is shown how a number of features ofB can be understood in terms of-chains. The structure ofB is determined by certain equivalence classes of-chains, fixed by orders of visitation of certain real cycles; and the bifurcation history of a given cycle can be conveniently computed via the combinatorics of-chains. The functional equations obeyed by attractive cycles are investigated, and their relation to-chains is given. The first cascade of period-doubling bifurcations is described from the point of view of the associated Julia sets and-chains. Certain Julia sets associated with the Feigenbaum function and some theorems of Lanford are discussed.Supported by NSF grant No. MCS-8104862.Supported by NSF grant No. MCS-8203325.

Exact density of states for lowest Landau level in white noise potential superfield representation for interacting systems

The density of states of two-dimensional electrons in a strong perpendicular magnetic field and white-noise potential is calculated exactly under the provision that only the states of the free electrons in the lowest Landau level are taken into account. It is used that the integral over the coordinates in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field in a Feynman graph yields the inverse of the number of Euler trails through the graph, whereas the weight by which a Feynman graph contributes in this disordered system is times that of the corresponding interacting system. Thus the factors cancel which allows the reduction of thed dimensional disordered problem to a (d-2) dimensional ⁴ interaction problem. The inverse procedure and the equivalence of disordered harmonic systems with interacting systems of superfields is used to give a mapping of interacting systems withU(1) invariance ind dimensions to interacting systems with UPL(1,1) invariance in (d+2) dimensions. The partition function of the new systems is unity so that systems with quenched disorder can be treated by averaging exp(–H) without recourse to the replica trick.Supported in part by the DFG through SFB123 Stochastic Mathematical Models     

Perturbation about the mean field critical point

We consider two models that are small perturbations of Gaussian or mean field models: the first one is a double well /4⁴ — /2² perturbation of a massless Gaussian lattice field in the weak coupling limit (0, proportional to ). The other consists of a spin 1/2 Ising model with long-range Kac type interactions; the inverse range of the interaction, , is the small parameter. The second model is related to the first one via a sine-Gordon transformation. The lattice ^d has dimensiond3.In both cases we derive an asymptotic estimate to first order (in or ²) on the location of the critical point. Moreover, we prove bounds on the remainder of an expansion in or around the Gaussian or mean field critical points.The appendix, due to E. Speer, contains an extension of Weinberg's theorem on the divergence of Feynman graphs which is used in the proofs.Supported by NSF Grant # MCS 78-01885Supported by NSF Grant # PHY 78-15920     

Kac-Moody symmetry of generalized non-linear Schrödinger equations

The classical non-linear Schrödinger equation associated with a symmetric Lie algebra =km is known to possess a class of conserved quantities which from a realization of the algebrak []. The construction is now extended to provide a realization of the Kac-Moody algebrak[, ^–1] (with central extension). One can then define auxiliary quantities to obtain the full algebra [, ^–1]. This leads to the formal linearization of the system.     

Non-thermal laser-induced desorption of metal atoms with bimodal kinetic energy distribution

Laser-induced desorption of metal atoms at low rate has been studied for pulsed excitation with wavelengths of = 266, 355, 532 and 1064 nm. For this purpose sodium adsorbed on quartz served as a model system. The detached Na atoms were photo-ionized with the light of a second laser operating at = 193 nm and their kinetic energy distribution was determined by time-of-flight measurements. For = 1064 nm a distribution typical of thermal bond breaking is observed. If desorption, however, is stimulated with light of = 266 or 532 nm, the kinetic energy distribution is non-thermal with a single maximum atE _kin = 0.16 ± 0.02 eV. For = 355 nm the non-thermal distribution is even bimodal with maxima appearing atE _kin = 0.16 ± 0.02 and 0.33 ± 0.02 eV. These values of the kinetic energies actually remain constant under variation of all experimental parameters. They appear to reflect the electronic and geometric properties of different binding sites from which the atoms are detached and thus constitute fingerprints of the metal surface. The non-thermal desorption mechanism is discussed in the framework of the Menzel-Gomer-Redhead scenario. The transition from non-thermal to thermal desorption at large fluentes of the laser light could also be identified.     

Tunable UV radiation at short wavelengths (188–240 nm) generated by sum-frequency mixing in lithium borate

Sum-frequency mixing (₃=₁+₂) of UV laser radiation (₁=266 nm and 213 nm) and tunable coherent infrared light (₂=1.2–2.6 m) in lithium borate (LBO) generates radiation at short wavelengths (₃=188–242 nm). The UV radiation at ₁ is produced by the fourth and fifth harmonic of a pulsed Nd-YAG laser. The infrared light is generated with an optical parametric oscillator of beta barium borate. The phase-matching angle is measured as function of ₃ and compared with calculated values. For UV laser radiation at shorter wavelengths (173 nm₁213 nm) the calculations predict an extension of the tuning range of the sum-frequency generated at ₃ to wavelengths as short as the LBO transmission cutoff at 160 nm.

C λ-extended oscillator algebra and parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics

The C -extended oscillator algebra is generated by {1, a, a , N, T}, where T is the generator of the cyclic group C of order . It can be realized as a generalized deformed oscillator algebra (GDOA). Its unirreps can thus be easily exhibited using the representation theory of GDOAs and their carrier spaces show a Z-grading structure. Within its infinite-dimensional Fock space representation, this algebra provides a bosonization of parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics of order p = – 1.     

Compact recording of information by the holographic method

Conclusions For holography using a convergent subject beam arrangement, the effect associated with increased extrafocal information density is most pronounced when the parameter 2ac/F is small. This relationship between the object parameters (a and c) and the characteristics of the holographic system (, F) is encountered most frequently in problems of microfilming (ac) and radar imaging (ac,a ²/F is small). It is only in the case 2acF99 with an accuracy of not worse than 1%, that we can assert that the sizes of the minimal Fourier holograms will coincide.Gorkii State University.

Luminescence of Higher Plants upon Excitation by Laser Radiation with Different Energy and Time Parameters

The luminescence response of the leaves of higher plants exposed to laser radiation with different energy and time parameters has been investigated at a wavelength of 685 nm. The plants were irradiated by laser radiation at 1060, 632, and 530 nm. Radiation at = 632 nm was used as the control. It is shown that radiation at = 1060 nm suppresses photosynthesis, whereas that at = 530 nm stimulates it.     

Functional derivative for the distribution function of a Λ-nucleon pair in nuclear matter

An exact expression for the functional derivative of the distribution function of a -nucleon pair in nuclear matter is derived. An approximate expression is also derived by means of the Kirkwood superposition approximation. The latter expression is subsequently used to obtain the Euler equation for the correlation functionf(r1) of a -nucleon pair in nuclear matter.     

Positron annihilation in synthetic zeolites (II) magnetic quenching effect

Positron lifetime spectra were re-measured for a series of synthetic zeolites using a large time window of observation. Magnetic quenching experiments were also performed for the zeolites, and it has been confirmed that both the ₄ and the ₃ components are due to o-Ps. The annihilation rate of the third component, ₃, showed a good correlation with the size of the largest voids, which is similar to the correlation reported for other compounds. However the annihilation rate of the longest-lived component, ₄, showed a poor correlation with the void size. The ₃ component has thus been assigned to o-Ps in the regular voids of the zeolites, and the ₄ component to that escaped to inter-particle open spaces.     

Stimulated IR- and vacuum-UV emission following two-photon-excitation of molecular hydrogen using an ArF laser

Hydrogen molecules are excited by two 193 nm-photons [X¹ _g ⁺ E,F¹ _g ⁺ ;Q₀₂(1)] generated with a commerical oscillator-amplifier ArF laser. Stimulated emission is subsequently observed in the IR (=752.4 nm to 836.6 nm;E, FB) and in the VUV (=134.0 nm to 160.9 nm;BX) with a VUV conversion efficiency of 0.2%. The rotational fine-structure, the saturation behaviour, pump depletion as well as SRS-onset on and off two-photon resonance are investigated.
