Compact,wide aperture X-ray preionized XeCl laser with high specific optical power

An X-ray preionized, discharge-pumped XeCl laser with a variable beam cross-section of up to 6×6 cm² is described. It uses flat electrodes and the beam width is determined by X-ray collimation. Its operation characteristics concerning reduced electric field strength (E/p) and X-ray dose are discussed in detail. The inductance of the discharge loop is minimized using a water capacitor arrangement. A very high specific optical power (90 MW/l) is achieved in an active volume of 1.2 l. The pulse energy exceeds 5 J in a 45 ns pulse (FWHM).

Critical Region for Droplet Formation in the Two-Dimensional Ising Model

We study the formation/dissolution of equilibrium droplets in finite systems at parameters corresponding to phase coexistence. Specifically, we consider the 2D Ising model in volumes of size L ² , inverse temperature > _c and overall magnetization conditioned to take the value m L ² –2m v _L , where _c ^–1 is the critical temperature, m =m () is the spontaneous magnetization and v _L is a sequence of positive numbers. We find that the critical scaling for droplet formation/dissolution is when v _L ^3/2 L ^–2 tends to a definite limit. Specifically, we identify a dimensionless parameter , proportional to this limit, a non-trivial critical value _c and a function such that the following holds: For < _c , there are no droplets beyond log L scale, while for > _c , there is a single, Wulff-shaped droplet containing a fraction _c =2/3 of the magnetization deficit and there are no other droplets beyond the scale of log L. Moreover, and are related via a universal equation that apparently is independent of the details of the system.     

Noncommutative Line Bundle and Morita Equivalence

Global properties of Abelian noncommutative gauge theories based on -products which are deformation quantizations of arbitrary Poisson structures are studied. The consistency condition for finite noncommutative gauge transformations and its explicit solution in the Abelian case are given. It is shown that the local existence of invertible covariantizing maps (which are closely related to the Seiberg–Witten map) leads naturally to the notion of a noncommutative line bundle with noncommutative transition functions. We introduce the space of sections of such a line bundle and explicitly show that it is a projective module. The local covariantizing maps define a new star product which is shown to be Morita equivalent to .     

Die Sättigungseffekte Bei Senkrechtfeldresonanz in YIG

Zusammenfassung Messungen des Imaginärteils der Suszeptibilität als Funktion der Mikrowellenfeldstärkeh wurden bei Hauptresonanz an Proben aus reinem und mit Dysprosium dotierten Yttrium-Eisen-Granat durchgeführt. Die Gestalt der (1/h)-Kurven urde auf Grund einer früher veröffentlichten Theorie behandelt. Der an der Probe 3 gemessene Verlauf von kann befriedigend mit Hilfe des Modells der unabhängigen Spinwellen interpretiert werden. Dasselbe gilt für die Messung an der Probe 2 mit Gleichfeld in [111]-Richtung. Die Steilheit der quasilinearen Kurvenabschnitte ist bei diesen(1/h)-Kurven von der GrößeH/H _k abhängig. Die Spinwellenhalbwertsbreite wurde auf Grund des benützten Modells mit Hilfe des Maximums der Größeh bestimmt. Der an der Probe aus reinem YIG gemessene Verlauf von stimmt für den Fall des Gleichfeldes in [100]-Richtung mit dem Modell der stark gekoppelten Spinwellen gut überein. Die Messung an dieser Probe mit Gleichfeld in [111]-Richtung weist einen anderen Verlauf der (1/h) Kurve auf, welcher nicht durch den Einfluß der magnetokristallischen Anisotropie der YIG erklärt werden kann. Dies sollte eher der Anisotropie der GrößeH _k zugeschrieben werden und wir vermuten, daß die letztgenannte Messung ein Verhalten widerspiegelt, das irgendwo zwischen den mit der Theorie diskutierten Extremfällen liegt. Dasselbe kann von der Messung an der Probe 2 mit Gleichfeld in [100]-Richtung gesagt werden.

Saturation effects at main resonance in YIG

The imaginary part of the susceptibility at main resonance was measured as a function of the microwave field intensityh on samples of pure YIG and also on YIG doped with Dy. The experimental results are compared with a theory published earlier. In particular the form of the(1/h) curves is discussed and also the way in which the spin wave relaxation frequencies can be determined.

     

Semi-orthoposets

A semi-orthoposet (SOP) is a bounded posetP together with a unary operation :P P such thatab impliesba andaa for allaP. This structure generalizes all previously studied quantum logic frameworks and yet is rich enough so that nontrivial results can be proved. For various types of SOPs it is shown that a partially defined morphism has an extension to the full SOP and that there exists an order-determining set of morphisms with a specified range. These results are applied to obtain representations of SOPs in terms of SOPs of sets and SOPs of functions. Connections between SOPs and effect algebras as well as tensor products of SOPs are obtained.     

Abundance of translation invariant pure states on quantum spin chains

We construct a set of translation invariant pure states of a quantum spin chain, which is w -dense in the set of all translation invariant states of the chain. Each of the approximating states has exponential decay of correlations, and is the unique ground state of a finite range Hamiltonian with a spectral gap above the ground state energy.     

The GHS inequality for a large external field

We consider general even ferromagnetic systems with pair interactions in a nonnegative external magnetic fieldh. Classes of single-site measures are found such that the GHS inequality is valid for allh h, whereh 0 is a number depending on but independent of the size of the system. These measures include both absolutely continuous and discrete measures. For =a ₀+{(1–a)/2} · ( ₁ + _–1), somea [0, 1),h is determined exactly.Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow.

The influence of magnetic after-effect on the rectangularity of the hysteresis loop of MgMn ferrites

The influence of the magnetic after-effect on the rectangularity of the hysteresis loop of MgMn ferrites in two different compositions was studied; it was found that this influence is so small that it cannot be the actual cause of a rectangular hysteresis loop of such materials.

Ergodicité et limite semi-classique

Consider a self adjoint quantic hamiltonian:P(h)=p(x, hD _x) whereh>0 is the Planck's constant andp some smooth classical observable on the phase space R²ⁿ . When the classical flow on a compact energy shell {p=} is ergodic we prove that in the limith 0 almost all the eigenfunctions ofP(h) whose energy is near of are distributed according to the Liouville measure on {p=}.In the high energy case ( +) this sort of problem was considered by A. Schnirelman, S. Zelditch, and Y. Colin de Verdière.     

Collective structures of the <Superscript>131</Superscript>Cs nucleus

The collective structures of ¹³¹Cs have been investigated by in-beam -ray spectroscopic techniques following the ¹²⁴Sn (^11B , 4n) reaction at a beam energy E_lab = 57MeV. The previously established rotational bands, built on g_7/2, d_5/2 and the unique-parity h_11/2 orbitals, have been extended and evolve into new bands involving rotationally aligned (h_11/2)² and (h_11/2)² quasiparticles. In addition, a new multiquasiparticle band based on the g_7/2 g_7/2 h_11/2 configuration has also been observed. Theoretical interpretations for the assigned configurations are discussed in the framework of Total Routhian Surface (TRS) and Tilted Axis Cranking (TAC) model calculations. TAC model calculations predict a decrease in the B(M1) values with increasing rotational frequency for the g_7/2/d_5/2 (h_11/2)² and h_11/2 (h_11/2)² bands, thus indicating a magnetic rotation character for these bands.     

Nontrivial extensions of a representation of the Poincaré group with mass and helicity zero by its tensorial product

Let U(a, ) be a representation of the Poincaré group with mass and helicity zero, realized in the space of C -functions with compact support on ³, without the origin. Let U ⁽²⁾(a, ) denote the tensorial product of U(a, ) by itself. We explicitly determine the cocycles of extension of U(a, ) by U ⁽²⁾(a, ) and we prove that the nontrivial cohomology is indexed by (u(),),u()D ¹ _]0,3\,.

More inequalities for critical exponents

A variety of rigorous inequalities for critical exponents is proved. Most notable is the low-temperature Josephson inequalitydv +2 2–. Others are 1 1 +v, 1 1 , 1,d 1 + 1/ (for d),dv, ₃ + (for d), ₄ , and _{2m 2m+2} (form 2). The hypotheses vary; all inequalities are true for the spin-1/2 Ising model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic pair interactions.NSF Predoctoral Fellow (1976–1979).

Band-gap structure of the spectrum of periodic Maxwell operators

We investigate the band-gap structure of some second-order differential operators associated with the propagation of waves in periodic two-component media. Particularly, the operator associated with the Maxwell equations with position-dependent dielectric constant (x),xR ³, is considered. The medium is assumed to consist of two components: the background, where (x) = _b , and the embedded component composed of periodically positioned disjoint cubes, where (x) = _a . We show that the spectrum of the relevant operator has gaps provided some reasonable conditions are imposed on the parameters of the medium. Particularly, we show that one can open up at least one gap in the spectrum at any preassigned point provided that the size of cubesL, the distancel=L betwen them, and the contrast = _b / _a are chosen in such a way thatL ^–2, and quantities ^-1-3/2 and ² are small enough. If these conditions are satisfied, the spectrum is located in a vicinity of widthw(^3/2)^-1 of the set {² L ^-2 k ²:kZ³}. This means, in particular, that any finite number of gaps between the elements of this discrete set can be opened simultaneously, and the corresponding bands of the spectrum can be made arbitrarily narrow. The method developed shows that if the embedded component consists of periodically positioned balls or other domains which cannot pack the space without overlapping, one should expect pseudogaps rather than real gaps in the spectrum.

The variation of the convergence time, as a function of the storage capacity is studied numerically for systems ranging in size fromN=1000 toN=16,000 neurons. is found to increase likeexp[–A(_c–)] as one nears the critical storage capacity _c =0.142=0.002.     

A remark on the decay rate of bound muons

The probability of the decay of a bound -meson is calculated using the theory of weak interactions with an intermediate boson. It is found that this theory, like all the others, cannot explain the experimental maximum atZ=26.

jj-Type of coupling in the scheme to construct the energy levels of a shallow acceptor in semiconductors

There is examined the classification of shallow acceptor energy levels by jj-type coupling, whose wave functions are converted by sets of irreducible representations by one of the subgroupsD _4h ^/ ,D _3d ^/ ,D _2h ^/ of the group o _h ^/ . The representations ₅ ⁺ of the groupD _4h ^/ are obtained in the one-function approximation by using a variational method, and systems of eight radical second-order differential equations are solved for two functions ₅ ⁺ in the case of a shallow acceptor in germanium by the method of orthogonal differential factorization. A comparison is made of the two low levels found and their radial functions for each of the functions ₅ ⁺ with the computed levels and the functions of LS-type coupling.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 103–107, September, 1981.The authors are grateful to N.

What determinates the chemical changes of the internal conversion coefficients for inner atomic shells?

Calculations of internal conversion coefficients (ICC) of the E1–E4 and M1–M4 transitions for nuclei in ions show that the relative changes _i / _i of the ICC _i for deep inner subshells can differ significantly from the relative changes _i/_i of the electron densities _i at the nucleus. For the K conversion _i/ _i are many times greater than _i/_i. Especially large deviations of _i/ _i are characteristic of transitions of high multipolarity; however, for the M1 transitions they can also be significant. Illustrations of various dependencies of _i/ _iare presented for the conversion in the regionZ-50.     

State automorphisms in axiomatic quantum mechanics

A new metric which we call the intrinsic metric is introduced on the states of the generalized logic of quantum mechanics. It is shown that every automorphism on is an isometry. A norm can be defined on the linear spanE of which reduces to the intrinsic metric on. IfX is the completion ofE then every automorphism, on has a unique extension to a linear isometry onX. A comparison is made between these results and those of Kroniff.
