Simulation of emission and absorption spectra of a laser-produced plasma

Conclusion The ideas developed suggest the feasibility of developing a radiative gasdynamics program that takes into account, selfconsistently and without contradictions, the dependence of the material characteristics (arbitrarily detailed, in principle) for an optically transparent and an opaque plasma. It is necessary to assess beforehand the influence of the method used to choose () in Eqs. (15)–(17). One more research trend may involve the possibility of finding conditions with inverted population in the x-ray band not on the basis of the kinetics of the transitions, but on the basis of equilibrium characteristics of the ions in a plasma with time-varying conditions.Lebedev Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.

Highly oriented thin oxide films on single crystals of Fe-Si alloys

Under certain oxidation conditions, highly oriented oxide films grow on single crystals of some Fe-Si alloys. A typical two-phase film of this kind was studied in order to reveal the orientational relationships between-Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄ on the (001) surface of the substrate. The orientational relationships were determined from reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns where reflections from both oxides were present.The authors are indebted to Ing. B. esták and Ing. S. Kadeková who made possible the preparation of single-crystalline samples of Fe-Si alloys in the Institute of Physics, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences; to Dr. M. Rozsíval (Institute of Solid State Physics, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences) who enabled the authors to use the electron diffraction apparatus; and to Dr. A.

The role of excited species in UV-laser materials ablation

The stability of a planar surface upon pulsed UV-laser irradiation is studied with special emphasis on polymer ablation. Here, we consider a two-level system in which the excitation energy is dissipated via stimulated emission, non-radiative transitions, and activated desorption of excited species. With thermal relaxation times t _T10^–10 s the ablation front turns out to become stable. This could explain the smooth surfaces obtained after pulsed UV-laser ablation of pure and stress free organic polymers. The situation is quite different for materials, for example metals, where fast thermal relaxation of the excitation energy within times, typically, t _T<10^–11 s, gives rise to instabilities which result in surface roughening.On leave from the Institute of General Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117942 Moscow, RussiaOn leave from the Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 603600 Nishnii Novgorod, Russia     

On a class of equilibrium states under the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger boundary condition

Using the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger boundary condition for equilibrium states of quantum statistical mechanics of fermion gas, we prove that forT;0 a one-particle evolution (corresponding essentially to bilinear hamiltonians) generally defines a unique equilibrium state, which is quasi-free. Conversely any quasi-free state is the equilibrium state for a single one-particle evolution if it has no Fock part in its product decomposition. Limiting cases whereT 0 andT are studied. In the case whereT 0 one shows that the state generally converges to a Fock state linked to the evolution.Attaché de Recherche au C.N.R.S.This work is a part of a Thèse de Doctorat d'Etat presented to the Faculté des Sciences de Marseille, April 23, 1969, under the number A.O. 3073.     

Some consequences of the nonlocalizability of space-time events

Space-time events are characterized by their coordinatesx from the classical point of view. The same events from the quantum-mechanical point of view should be described rather by the expectation value of coordinates X. The expectation value could be evaluated by introducing a density operator(x,x) associated with the event. In the case where(x,x) cannot be described by delta functions strictly monochromatic radiation does not exist. If localizability is limited by Planck's length there are no narrower spectral lines than 2× 10^–29 E ² (eV) whereE stands for the photon energy.On leave from the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kraków, ul.

Quasifinite highest weight modules over the superW 1+∞algebra

We study quasifinite highest weight modules over the supersymmetric extension of theW ₁₊ algebra on the basis of the analysis by Kac and Radul. We find that the quasifiniteness of the modules is again characterized by polynomials, and obtain the differential equations for highest weights. The spectral flow, free field realization over the (B, C)-system, and the embedding into (|) are also presented.Address after April 1, 1994: Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606, JapanAddress after April 1, 1994: Uji Research Center, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Uji 611, Japan     

Pauli-Dirac matrix generators of Clifford Algebras

This article presents a Pauli-Dirac matrix approach to Clifford Algebras. It is shown that the algebra C₂ is generated by two Pauli matrices i₂ and i₃; C₃ is generated by the three Pauli matrices ₁, ₂, ₃; C₄ is generated by four Dirac matrices ₀, ₁, ₂, ₃ and C₅ is generated by five Dirac matrices i₀, i₁, i₂, i₃, i₅. The higher dimensional anticommuting matrices which generate arbitrarily high order Clifford algebras are given in closed form. The results obtained with this Clifford algebra approach are compared with the vector product method which was described in a recent article [Found. Phys. 10, 531–553 (1980) by Poole, Farach and Aharonov] and with the Dirac, Rashevskii and Ramakrishnan methods of matrix generation.Supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant ISP-80-11451.     

On existence of a bound state in an L-shaped waveguide

We investigate the Laplace operator in an L-shaped strip of a widthd with Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is shown that it has a unique eigenvalue corresponding to a square-integrable eigenfunction, namely = 0·93 (/d)². This result has implications for the theory of waveguides as well as for electron motion in some microscopic semiconductor devices.Dedicated to Academician Václav Votruba on the occasion of his eightieth birthday.On leave of absence from Nuclear Physics Institute, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences,250 68 e near Prague, Czechoslovakia.On leave of absence fromDepartment of Mathematics, Faculty of Nuclear and Technical Engineering, Czech Technical University, Trojanova 13, 120 00 Prague, Czechoslovakia.     

Lattice dipole gas and (▽φ)4 models at long distances: Decay of correlations and scaling limit

We prove that the scaling limit for a large class of weakV() perturbations of the free massless lattice field is Gaussian with the covariancec(V)(– )^–1. The correlations as well asc(V) are analytic inV. In particular the Mayer series for the dipole gas is convergent for small activity.On leave of absence from Department of Mathematical Methods of Physics, Warsaw UniversityOn leave of absence from Research Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Helsinki, SF-00170 Helsinki, Finland     

Propagation of elastoplastic waves in thin rods

The problem of the propagation of a perturbation in a thin rod is solved using the dynamic gauge theory of crystalline media with dislocations. When a shock is applied to the rod an elastic forerunner is generated with propagates with a velocity of (where E is Young's modulus and is the density of the medium) and, in addition, unclamping of the end of the rod occurs. Depending on the parameters of the medium, this unclamping may take the form of both purely viscous flow and wave flow. There is no volume elastic compression wave in the rod characteristic of an unbounded medium.Institute of Physics of the Strength and Study of Materials, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Influence of deviation from stoichiometry on the plasticity and mechanism of fracture of the boron-alloyed intermetallic compound Ni3Al obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

We have studied the effect that deviation of the composition of an ally from stoichiometry has on the plasticity , strength _B, and the fracture mechanism of the intermetallic compound Ni₃Al obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The variation of the tensile strength, plasticity, type of fracture, and the cohesive strength _coh of grains have been show to be correlated. The cohesive strength increases with the Al content in the alloy, most rapidly up to 24.0 at. % Al.V. D. Kuznetsov Siberian Physicotechnical Institute, Tomsk State University.

A percolation approach to the Kauffman model

A study is made of the spreading of damage in the random but deterministic Kauffman model on the square lattice with the spreading from one edge of the lattice. The critical value of the parameterp _c above which the system becomes chaotic is found to bep _c0.298. The possibility of suppression of the chaotic phase by noise is also studied. It is found that forpp _c, an extremely large noise levelg>0.99 is required, if possible at all.On leave from Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.     

Shell-target laser-plasma images in the light of intrinsic and backlit X radiation

Results are presented of calculation of x-ray plasma images of glass shell targets with diagnostic additives Na, K, and Ca in the light of the intrinsic radiation of the resonance lines of H and He ions with Z_n = 8, ii, 14, and 20, and also in the light of cw radiation in the wavelength range = 1-300 Å. The calculation results are compared with laser-plasma images obtained in experiments with the Del'fin-l thermonuclear facility. The temperature and density of the plasma, the rate of corona expansion, the target mass ablation rate, and the hydrodynamic coefficient of laser-energy transfer into kinetic energy of the ablating shell are determined. The plasma images obtained by backlighting the shell target with an auxiliary x-ray source are analyzed with account taken of the radiation refraction. The required energy, temporal, and spectral characteristics of the auxiliary source are determined.Laser-Plasma Laboratory, Lebedev Physics Institute.

On the photo-electroluminescence of ZnS-Cu

The influence of weak ultra-violet irradiation on the brightness waves of electroluminescence is investigated for two types of ZnS-Cuphosphors. The observed effects (increase in brightness in the primary peak and its phase shift, the disappearance of the secondary peak) are explained on the basis of present-day conceptions on electroluminescence.

Research system of decision making by composite image fragments using neuron-like algorithms

Base models of homogeneous neuron-like media and the corresponding systems of spatiotemporal solutions are considered. Ways of using these models and solutions as the base models for designing hierarchic systems of parallel processing of complex information flows with the help of neuron-like algorithms are studied. The version of a decision-making system with tunable architecture at a coarsegrain level (for adapting the system to the processing purposes and type of image) and universal neuron-like subsystems at a fine-grain level (for providing a wide variety of operations needed to extract local and global features and to encode individual fragments or the whole of the image) is developed. Examples of the transformation processes in the images of biological objects (growing neurons, erythrocytes, fingerprints) in a hierarchic decision-making system are demonstrated.Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Resistivity exponent of two-dimensional lattice animals

We calculate the average resistanceR(L) of lattice animals spanningL×L cells on the square lattice using exact and Monte Carlo methods. The dynamical resistivity exponent, defined asR(L) L , is found to be =1.36±0.07. This contradicts the Alexander-Orbach conjecture, which predicts 0.8. Our value for differs from earlier measurements of this quantity by other methods yielding =1.17±0.05 and 1.22±0.08 by Havlin et al.On leave from the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.     

Proton dipolar spin-lattice relaxation in hexagonal ice

The ultraslow motion of defects in high purity hexagonal H₂O ice has been studied by proton dipolarT _1D measurements in the strong collision limit, using the Jeener technique. The obtained NMR correlation times agree rather well with both the Schottky H₂O diffusion timest _s=r ²/6D and the deuteron correlation times in D₂O ice, suggesting that Schottky rather than interstitial diffusion dominates spin-lattice relaxation in both H₂O and D₂O ice.On leave of absence from University of Ljubljana, Institute J.
