Stochastic Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices on the strip

We discuss stochastic Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices with wave functions, taking values in ^l so there are 2l Lyaponov exponents ₁..._l0 _l+1..._2l =–₁. Our results include the fact that if ₁=0 on a set positive measure, thenV is deterministic and one that says that {E|exactly 2j 's are zero} is the essential support of the a.c. spectrum of multiplicity 2j.Research partially supported by USNSF under grant DMS-8416049     

Elastic stress around linear dislocation in anisotropic medium

Relations are derived for the elastic stress field around a linear dislocation in an infinite medium with general anisotropy. The strongly deformed material around the core of the dislocation is cut out in the shape of an elliptic cylinder. The conditions of a free surface are used on the boundary thus formed. The calculation of the field around a crack in a crystal, the model of which was proposed by Fujita in [9], is given as an example.

Nonlinear two-photon interaction in a strong magnetic field

Sections of nonlinear photon-photon scattering processes and merger of photons in the nucleus (Ze) (Ze) in a strong magnetic field are computed by using a developed two-dimensional formalism. Closed expressions are obtained for the sections with a graphical illustration of the results and they are compared with the case of no external fields.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 16–19, June, 1988.     

Some critical exponent inequalities for percolation

For a large class of independent (site or bond, short- or long-range) percolation models, we show the following: (1) If the percolation densityP (p) is discontinuous atp _c , then the critical exponent (defined by the divergence of expected cluster size, nP _n (p) (P _c –P)^– asp p _c ) must satisfy 2. (2) or (defined analogously to, but asp p _c ) and [P _n (p _c ) (n ^–1–1/) asn ] must satisfy, 2(1 – 1/). These inequalities for improve the previously known bound 1(Aizenman and Newman), since 2 (Aizenman and Barsky). Additionally, result 1may be useful, in standardd-dimensional percolation, for proving rigorously (ind>2) that, as expected,P _x has no discontinuity atp _c .     

A “hydrodynamic” theory of surface reaction rates

The Brownian motion of adsorbed particles is described in terms of the first four velocity moments of the distribution function (number density, momentum density, energy density and energy current density). The resulting hydrodynamic equations turn out to be sufficient for a simple derivation and extension of Kramers' results for chemical reaction rates in terms of the friction constant of an underlying Fokker-Planck equation. An interpolation formula is obtained for() containing Kramers' results for small and large as limiting cases. For temperaturesT small compared to the well depthV ₀ one finds a large regionT/V ₀/v ₀V ₀/T in which Eyring's absolute rate theory is approximately valid.On leave of absence from Physikdepartment der TUM, München-Garching     

Resonant magnetopolaron effects in parabolic quantum wells in a tilted magnetic field

We study the resonant magnetopolaron effects in parabolic quantum wells in a tilted magnetic field. The renormalization of the first excited level, which is resonant with the ground state level plus one longitudinal-optical phonon is calculated at the resonance using an improved resonance approximation to be E= where is the polaron coupling constant. The exponent and the factor are calculated in dependence on the tilt angle of the magnetic field and the confinement energy.     

High-spin isomer in 93Mo

The high-spin states of ⁹³Mo have been studied by a ⁸²Se( ¹⁶O, 5n) ⁹³Mo reaction at a beam energy of 100 MeV using techniques of in-beam -ray spectroscopy. Measurements of -t, --t coincidences, -ray angular distributions and -ray linear polarizations were performed. The high-spin isomer was found as a (39/2^-) state at about 9.7 MeV. The near-yrast states in ⁹³Mo were interpreted using the weak-coupling picture of a d_5/2 neutron to a neutron magic core nucleus ⁹²Mo.     

The van der Waals limit for classical systems

For a -dimensional system of particles with the two-body potentialq(r)+ ^v K(r) and density , it is proved under fairly weak conditions onq andK that the canonical pressure (, ) and chemical potential (, ) tend to definite limits when 0. The limiting functions are absolutely continuous and are given in terms of the derivative of the limiting free energy density which was found in Part I.     

Derivation and solution of a low-friction Fokker-Planck equation for a bound Brownian particle

The low-friction region of an anharmonically bound Brownian particle is examined using systematic elimination procedures. We obtain an asymptotic expression for the spectrum of the Fokker-Planck operator. Asymptotic means both small anharmonicities and small friction constants compared to the oscillatory frequency . We conclude that Kramers' low-friction equation is generally valid only for 0<0.01 and has to be modified for 0.01 by including phase-dependent terms. From these the nonlinear part of the force field in connection with a finite temperature is shown to shorten the correlation time of the equilibrium velocity autocorrelation function and to renormalize the frequency of the corresponding spectral density.     

Phase segregation dynamics in particle systems with long range interactions. I. Macroscopic limits

We present and discuss the derivation of a nonlinear nonlocal integrodifferential equation for the macroscopic time evolution of the conserved order parameter (r, t) of a binary alloy undergoing phase segregation. Our model is ad-dimensional lattice gas evolving via Kawasaki exchange with respect to the Gibbs measure for a Hamiltonian which includes both short-range (local) and long-range (nonlocal) interactions. The nonlocal part is given by a pair potential ^dJ(|x–y|), >0 x and y in ^d, in the limit 0. The macroscopic evolution is observed on the spatial scale ^–1 and time scale ^–2, i.e., the density (r, t) is the empirical average of the occupation numbers over a small macroscopic volume element centered atr=x. A rigorous derivation is presented in the case in which there is no local interaction. In a subsequent paper (Part II) we discuss the phase segregation phenomena in the model. In particular we argue that the phase boundary evolutions, arising as sharp interface limits of the family of equations derived in this paper, are the same as the ones obtained from the corresponding limits for the Cahn-Hilliard equation.     

Stability and structure of Newtonian gravitars

The solution r² for a scalar field (gravitational constant), which is asymptotically exact for supercompact configurations and which Saakyan and Mnatsakanyan obtained from the numerical solution of the hydrostatics equations in the Newtonian approximation of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory, is used to study the gravitational stability of such configurations. We have found the stability condition 2/3 for polytropic configurations ( is the polytropic exponent) instead of 4/3, which is known for configurations of low compactness. Analytic solutions of the equations of internal structure are found for configurations which are intermediate with respect to stability (=2/3) and for some other important series of configurations.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 98–102, July, 1982.In conclusion, the present author expresses his indebtedness and gratitude to V. N. Ponomarev, for assistance in executing the work.     

Analytical electron microscopy study of diffusion-bonded multiphase system

This study presents diffusion experiments of NiAl coupled with pure Ni (Ni/NiAl). The couple produces the Ni₃Al-based intermetallic phase ( phase) as an intermediate layer at the interface during diffusion annealing. Analytical electron microscopy is used to examine microstructural features, crystallographic orientation and compositional variations across the interface. Interdiffusivities are measured from the compositional variations. It is shown that the growing behavior of the phase changes between higher and lower annealing temperatures. The growth kinetics of the phase is also discussed.     

Current distributions in a two-dimensional random-resistor network

The current and logarithm-of-the-current distributionsn(i) andn(ln i) on bond diluted two-dimensional random-resistor networks at the percolation threshold are studied by a modified transfer matrix method. Thek th moment (–9k8) of n(ln i) i.e., ln i&^k, is found to scale with the linear sizeL as (InL)^(k). The exponents (k) are not inconsistent with the recent theoretical prediction (k)=k, with deviations which may be attributed to severe finitesize effects. For small currents, ln n(y)–, yielding information on the threshold below which the multifractality of (i) breaks down. Our numerical results for the moments of the currents are consistent with other available results.     

Emission of soft bremsstrahlungγ-rays in p + p → p + p +γ and π−+p → π0+n +γ reactions

Low's theorem [1] on the emission of soft -rays is applied to a study of p + p p+p+ and ^– + p ⁰+ n + reactions. The first two terms in the expansion of the differential cross sections for these processes in powers of the photon energy are obtained (for proton scattering in the ultrarelativistic limit).In conclusion, we wish to express our gratitude to S. M. Bilen'kii and R. M. Ryndin for directing this work.

We derive an asymptotic series for the thermodynamic pressure P _, in powers of . The 0th-order term of the expansion is the mean-field pressure of the Lebowitz and Penrose theory.     

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.     

A new geometrical gravitational theory

A geometrical gravitational theory based on the connection ={ } + ln + ln –g ln is developed. The field equations for the new theory are uniquely determined apart from one unknown dimensionless parameter ₂. The geometry on which our theory is based is an extension of the Weyl geometry, and by the extension the gravitational coupling constant and the gravitational mass are made to be dynamical and geometrical. The fundamental geometrical objects in the theory are a metricg and two gauge scalars and. Physically the gravitational potential corresponds tog in the same way as in general relativity, the gravitational coupling constant to ^–2, and the gravitational mass tou(, ), which is a coscalar of power –1 algebraically made of and. The theory satisfies the weak equivalence principle, but breaks the strong one generally. We shall find outu(, )= on the assumption that the strong one keeps holding good at least for bosons of low spins. Thus we have the simple correspondence between the geometrical objects and the gravitational objects. Since the theory satisfies the weak one, the inertial mass is also dynamical and geometrical in the same way as is the gravitational mass. Moreover, the cosmological term in the theory is a coscalar of power –4 algebraically made of andu(, ), so it is dynamical, too. Finally we give spherically symmetric exact solutions. The permissible range of the unknown parameter ₂ is experimentally determined by applying the solutions to the solar system.     

Interpretation of measurements of π0-meson photoproduction partial cross sections on a6Li nucleus with O+ level excitation

The anomalously large measured values of the cross section of the reaction +⁶Li ⁰ +⁶Li^* (3.56 MeV), which were obtained in two different laboratories, 260–450 MeV -rays, are discussed. It is shown that the disagreement between theory and experiment is due to the background reaction +⁷Li ⁰ + n +⁶Li^* (3.56 MeV), which became possible as a result of the poor isotropic purity of the target. This background reaction is discussed with respect to obtaining data on ⁰-meson photoproduction on neutrons.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, 92–96, November, 1991.
