Surviving extrema for the action on the twisted SU(∞) one point lattice

We give a simplified construction of twist eating configurations, based on a theorem due to Frobenius. These configurations are defined through the equation:U U U ⁺ U ⁺ =exp(2in /N) withU SU(N), =1 tod andn an antisymmetric matrix with integer entries. In the (Twisted)-Eguchi-Kawai model they yield extrema some of which survive forN. Comparison is made with the Monte Carlo data of the internal energy in the small coupling region.     

Bremsstrahlung spectrum in beta decay

The spectrum of the bremsstrahlung due to the complete slowing down in aluminium of beta particles belonging to the continuous spectrum, was calculated for an arrangement, in which the beta emitter is completely enclosed in an absorber. The Bethe-Heitler cross-section, corrected by an empirical factor, was used. A table is given which makes it possible to calculate bremsstrahlung spectra of beta emitters with their maximal energy between 0·6 MeV and 2·0 MeV; the necessary additional calculations are quite simple. The error in the calculation is practically determined by the uncertainty in the determination of the cross-section and is equal to about 10%.

The propagation of excitation energy in perturbed crystals

The process of the propagation of excitation energy in perturbed dielectric crystals with a weak bond between the atoms having zero permanent dipole moment is studied. It is shown that on certain assumptions this process of propagation can be regarded as the motion of a Frenkel exciton in the electrostatic field of the defect. Frenkel's exciton can be characterized in this case as a neutral polarizable particle having induced dipole moment equal to the change in the induced dipole moment of the crystal during the excitation of one of its atoms.

The paramagnetic state (μ+e−) in silicon and tellurium at high temperature

The paramagnetic state (⁺e^–) in Si and Te was observed in a longitudinal magnetic field. The mean lifetimes of these states were obtained: _Si = 1.45(3) s, _Te = 12.5(8) s at 290 K, _Te = 12(2) s at 250 K.     

The Crystallography of Interphase Boundaries Between Silicon Carbide and Silicon Nitride in Silicon Nitride—Silicon Carbide Particulate Composites

Interphase boundaries between 3C SiC grains and two different -Si₃N₄ morphologies in Si₃N₄–SiC composites have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. In general, boundaries between small -Si₃N₄ intragranular precipitates and surrounding SiC grains were relatively free of intergranular films, whereas boundaries between large -Si₃N₄ grains and adjacent SiC grains were invariably covered with thin intergranular films. Orientation relationships approximating to [110] 3C SiC [0001] -Si₃N₄ and (001) 3C SiC (10 0) -Si₃N₄ were found to dominate between 3C SiC grains and the intragranular -Si₃N₄ precipitates, but there was no evidence of any favoured orientation relationship between the large -Si₃N₄ grains and adjacent SiC grains. The rationale for special orientation relationships arising when there is no intergranular film present at 3C SiC–-Si₃N₄ interfaces is explored geometrically using the near-coincidence site lattice model, with the significant result that the dominant orientation relationships between 3C SiC grains and the intragranular -Si₃N₄ precipitates have low misfits relative to all other possible orientation relationships between 3C SiC and -Si₃N₄.     

The effects of inkomogeneous center structure on the shape of the ESR spectra of alkali-rich glasses

The paper considers the effect of nonuniform structure in the centers on the ESR spectrum for the case of axial anisotropy in the g factor; it is shown that if (² >² , _¦ >), the model enables one to describe fairly completely the spectrum of a glass containing 33% Na₂O and 67% SiO₂. Good agreement with all experimental evidence is not obtained for potassium silicate glasses.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, No. 6, pp. 86–90, June, 1971.     

A contribution to direct processes in the Co59(p,n) reaction forE p ∼ 6·5 MeV

Nuclear emulsions were used to study the energy spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry of neutrons from the Co⁵⁹(p,n) reaction forE _p 6·5 MeV. It was found that the decay of the compound nucleus makes a maximum contribution of 50% to the reaction yield. Energies of some excited states of the Ni⁵⁹ nucleus were also determined.

Homogenität,Kovarianz und Relativität

Zusammenfassung Es werden zwei Begriffe: Homogenität des Raumzeitkontinuums und Kovarianz der Gleichungen, wie sie in der Relativitätstheorie gebraucht werden, definiert und erläutert. Es wird gezeigt, doss die beiden Begriffe wesentlich verschieden sind und in Form nichtäquivalenter mathematischer Bedingungen ihren Ausdruck finden. Trotzdem werden beide Begriffe sowohl von Einstein, als auch in der Literatur über Relativitätstheorie mit einem und demselben Wort Relativität bezeichnet. Der Missgebrauch des Wortes Relativität bedeutet nicht nur einen terminologischen Fehler, sondern spricht auch von einem ungenügenden Verständnis der Grundidee der Relativitätstheorie, besonders der sog. allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie. Versteht man unter Relativität Homogenität des Raumes, so ist in der sog. allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie überhaupt keine Relativität vorhanden. Versteht man dagegen unter Relativität Kovarianz der Gleichungen, so steckt in jener Theorie nicht mehr Relativität, wie z. B. in den unrelativistischen Bewegungsgleichungen, welche ebensogut eine allgemein-kovariante Formulierung gestatten (Lagrangesche Gleichungen 2-ter Art). Die Bezeichnung allgemeine Relativitätstheorie ist daher irrefuhrend. Die geniale Theorie Einsteins ist eine reine Gravitationstheorie. , No 4, . 131, 1955.

Phase transformations in Cu-Sn alloys containing Ni,Al, Ge,and In

After quenching from 700C and aging, Cu-Sn alloys containing Ni and Al were found to have a precipitation of-solid solution, with a DO₃ type of ordering, of metastable ,, and phases. It was established that the phase has an 4 type of ordering while the phase has the Cu₃Ti type. Observations revealed that Cu-Sn-Al alloys contained two phases, and, with an identical structure but with different ratios of electron concentration per atom.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 34–37, April, 1981.     

Sensitivity of approximate formulas for determining optical constants of thin films

The sensitivity of approximate formulas for determining the optical constants of thin films using measurement of reflectancesR and transmittancesT at normal incidence have been investigated theoretically. The ranges of refractive indexn, absorption indexk,2nk (=₂) andn ²–k ²(=₁) within relative errors of 5%, 10%, and 20% may be obtained. Selected signs of (₁)⁺ or (₁)^– have been determined. Validity of the condition n₀ A=n _s A has been also evaluated (A=1–R –T andA=1–R–T).     

On the theory of amplification of meso-ultrasound in anisotropic monopolar semiconductors

The electronic absorption coefficient (_e) of meso-ultrasound (_p ^–1 _en, _t, _ee; ql 1, where _p, _en, _t are the times of pulse relaxation, energy, and current carrier traps; _ee ^–1 is the frequency of intraelectron collisions; , q are the frequency and wave vector of sound; l is the carrier mean free path) in the presence of a permanent external field E₀ e ₀ ^–1 q₀T is calculated for anisotropic single-valley semiconductors with piezoelectrical and potential-deformation acoustoelectronic interaction. Considered arbitrary are: 1) the anisotropy of the tensors * and _p (and other crystal parameters); 2) the degree of Fermi degeneration of the carriers; 3) the dependence of _p on the carrier energy . The acoustoheat nonlinearity is neglected. The possibility of meso-ultrasound amplification by the transverse field (E₀ - q) is predicted. By changing the orientation of the vector q relative to the crystal axes, the transverse threshold field (E ^thr ) can be controlled smoothly and within broad limits, This permits the production of a mechanical sound-amplification regulator or a modulator of its intensity. The ratio between E ^thr and E ^thr yields a measure of the relative anisotropy of the mobility.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 87–92, February, 1977.     

An attempt at a phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a polarizing field on piezoelectric resonators

The change in frequency of quartz piezoelectric resonators in a d-c electric polarizing field cannot be explained merely by a change in the dimensions of the resonator due to the polarizing field caused by the inverse piezoelectric effect and electrostriction. We are forced to admit that the elastic constants also change in a polarizing field. A phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a d-c electric polarizing field on the frequency of quartz resonators is proposed here, based on newly introduced quantities characterizing such a change. In conclusion it is shown in what way the quantities, on which the phenomenological theory is based, can be determined experimentally.

The scattering of waves by a periodic surface

The paper derives a general formula for the scattering of electromagnetic (or sound) waves from a periodic, perfectly conducting (or perfectly rigid) surface. No restrictions are imposed on the angle of incidence, the size of the surface or the degree of roughness. Except for the basic Kirchhoff approximation, the method is exact. The results confirm, generalise or correct special cases obtained by more complicated methods.

Perturbations of flows on Banach spaces and operator algebras

For automorphism groups of operator algebras we show how properties of the difference _t – ' _t are reflected in relations between the generators , . Indeed for a von Neumann algebraM with separable predual we show that if _t – '_t 0.28 for smallt, then = 0(+)°^-1 where is an inner automorphism ofM and is a bounded derivation ofM. If the difference _t – ' _t =O(t) ast ; 0, then = + and if _t – ' _t 0.28 for allt then =. We prove analogous results for unitary groups on a Hilbert space andC ₀,C ₀ ^* groups on a Banach space.This paper subsumes an earlier work of the same title which appeared as a report from Z.I.F. der Universität BielefeldWith partial support of the U.S. National Science Foundation
