Wavelength distribution of X-rays in the focus of a monochromator and an estimate of the influence of this distribution on precision measurements of lattice constants

Wavelength distribution in the focus of a Johansson type monochromator is computed assuming the tube focus emissivityG(), reflection curveR() and wavelength distribution of the incident radiationJ(-₀) are known. It is shown e.g. that the centre of gravity may be shifted in accordance with the position of the crystal on the focal circle which may considerably influence precision measurements of lattice parameters.

Generalized Stefan-Boltzmann law

Thermodynamics arguments have been employed to derive how the energy density depends on the temperatureT for a fluid whose pressurep obeys the equation of statep = ( –1), where is a constant. Three different methods, among them the one considered by Boltzmann (Carnot cycle), lead to the expression = T/( –1), where is a constant. This result also appears naturally in the framework of general relativity for spacetimes with constant spatial curvature. Some particular cases are vacuum (p = –), cosmic strings (p= –1/3), radiation (p = 1/3), and stiff matter (p = ). It is also shown that such results can be adapted for blackbody radiation inN spatial dimensions.     

Particle-like configurations of the electromagnetic field: An extension of de Broglie's ideas

Localised configurations of the free electromagnetic field are constructed, possessing properties of massive, spinning, relativistic particles. In an inertial frame, each configuration travels in a straight line at constant speed, less than the speed of lightc, while slowly spreading. It eventually decays into pulses of radiation travelling at speedc. Each configuration has a definite rest mass and internal angular momentum, or spin. Each can be of electric or magnetic type, according as the radial component of the magnetic or electric field vanishes in the rest frame, and each has an antiparticle. Any such configuration, of electric or magnetic type, is characterized in part by a set of labels (, ₀, ,l, m), where ₀ is the mean of the angular frequencies of the plane waves making up the configuration, is the variance of those frequencies, is a positive constant with dimensions of action, andl, m are angular momentum quantum numbers withl a positive integer andm an integer such that ml. The rest energy of the particle is ₀, its spin is m, and its lifetime is of the order of 1/. Its antiparticle has ₀ replaced by –₀.

The magnetoresistance in zinc-manganese ferrites in the vicinity of the Curie point

The paper describes an exact method for measuring the adiabatic and isothermal magnetoresistant effects in ferrites. It gives the results of studying the temperature dependence of the magnetoresistant effect, which is negative near the Curie point in ferrites and the temperature dependence of which has a maximum of absolute values inT _c . It is also shown that the pronounced maximum of the adiabatic magnetoresistant effect is to a certain extent caused by the magnetocaloric effect. When measuring the dependence of the magnetoresistant effect on the field strength for a temperature equal toT _c , certain small deviations from the theoretically assumed dependence were found; the influence of different factors on these deviations is discussed and a proposal for their explanation is given in analogy to the results known for metals.

On the massive sine-Gordon equation in all regions of collapse

The ultraviolet stability for the cosine interaction in two dimensions and finite volume is rederived for values ² [4, 32/5[ and proven for the remaining ² [4, 8[ by using renormalization group methods developed in [G, GN1] to portray renormalized effective potentials arising from a multiscale decomposition.Supported by the Studienstiftung des Deutschen VolkesSupported in part by the Schweizerischer Nationalfonds     

Maximal hypersurfaces in stationary asymptotically flat spacetimes

Existence of maximal hypersurfaces and of foliations by maximal hypersurfaces is proven in two classes of asymptotically flat spacetimes which possess a one parameter group of isometries whose orbits are timelike near infinity.. The first class consists of strongly causal asymptotically flat spacetimes which contain no black hole or white hole (but may contain ergoregions where the Killing orbits fail to be timelike). The second class of spacetimes possess a black hole and a white hole, with the black and white hole horizons intersecting in a compact 2-surfaceS.Supported in part by KBN grant #2 1047 9101Supported in part by NSF grant PHY-8918388.     

One massless particle equals two Dirac singletons

The remarkable representations of the 3+2 de Sitter group, discovered by Dirac, later called singleton representations and here denoted Di and Rac, are shown to possess the following truly remarkable property: Each of the direct products Di Di, Di Rac, and Rac Rac decomposes into a direct sum of unitary, irreducible representations, each of which admits an extension to a unitary, irreducible representation of the conformal group SO(4, 2). Therefore, in de Sitter space, every state of a free, massless particle may be interpreted as a state of two free singletons — and vice versa. The term massless is associated with a set of particle-like representations of SO(3, 2) that, besides the noted conformal extension, exhibit other phenomena typical of masslessness, especially gauge invariance.     

Hydrodynamic Limit of Brownian Particles Interacting with Short- and Long-Range Forces

We investigate the time evolution of a model system of interacting particles moving in a d-dimensional torus. The microscopic dynamics is first order in time with velocities set equal to the negative gradient of a potential energy term plus independent Brownian motions: is the sum of pair potentials, V(r)+ ^d J(r); the second term has the form of a Kac potential with inverse range . Using diffusive hydrodynamic scaling (spatial scale ^–1, temporal scale ^–2) we obtain, in the limit 0, a diffusive-type integrodifferential equation describing the time evolution of the macroscopic density profile.     

Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity in terms of Dirac spinors

The Dirac spinors and matrices are used in combination with the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism in order to obtain yet another formulation of Hamiltonian general relativity, together with a new form of the Gauss-Codazzi equations. The relation with Ashtekar's variables is analyzed; it is shown, for instance, that the matrices are equivalent to the electric field variable. The electric and magnetic decomposition of the gravitational field is also studie using Dirac matrices.     

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)}.     

Raman effect of light on argon atoms

Scalar scattering of light on the 3p and 3s subshells of the argon atom (Stokes scattering) and anti-Stokes scattering on the excited 4p and 4s states of argon are examined in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The calculation is made in a velocity form and in a length form. It is shown that the value in the r form is 1.5–2 times greater than in the form.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 36–42, January, 1977.

Te-waves guided by arbitrary nonlinear dielectrics bounded by linear media

Considerable interest is currently being devoted to nonlinear propagation in dielectric slab waveguides for integrated optics and millimetric applications. Much of the current work is based on Kerr-like ( E ²) nonlinear media and numerically discussed. We present a exact solution of TE-waves for arbitrary nonlinear dielectric ( |E| ). We applicate this solution to the planar nonlinear optic waveguides and the dispersion relations are given. The results show that the propagation constants are a function of the field magnitude.Supported by deutscher akademischer austauschdienst (DAAD)He is now with Dept.

Polarizable-Vacuum (PV) Approach to General Relativity

Standard pedagogy treats topics in general relativity (GR) in terms of tensor formulations in curved space-time. An alternative approach based on treating the vacuum as a polarizable medium is presented here. The polarizable vacuum (PV) approach to GR, derived from a model by Dicke and related to the TH formalism used in comparative studies of gravitational theories, provides additional insight into what is meant by a curved metric. While reproducing the results predicted by GR for standard (weak-field) astrophysical conditions, for strong fields a divergence of predictions in the two formalisms (GR vs. PV) provides fertile ground for both laboratory and astrophysical tests to compare the two approaches.
