Fine-tuning two-particle interferometry I: Effects from temperature gradients in the source

A comprehensive model study of Bose-Einstein correlation radii in heavy ion collisions is presented. The starting point is a longitudinally and transversally expanding fireball, represented at freeze-out by an azimuthally symmetric emission function. The freeze-out temperature is allowed to feature transverse and temporal gradients. Their effects on the correlation radii are studied. In particular, we evaluate numerically their dependence on the transverse mass of the particle pairs and check a recent suggestion, based on analytical approximations, that for certain reasonable source parameters all three correlation radii satisfy simultaneously a scaling.

Tabu search for graph partitioning

In this paper, we develop a tabu search procedure for solving the uniform graph partitioning problem. Tabu search, an abstract heuristic search method, has been shown to have promise in solving several NP-hard problems, such as job shop and flow shop scheduling, vehicle routing, quadratic assignment, and maximum satisfiability. We compare tabu search to other heuristic procedures for graph partitioning, and demonstrate that tabu search is superior to other solution approaches for the uniform graph partitioning problem both with respect to solution quality and computational requirements.

Appearance of localized superconductivity in magnetic field: Possible percolation mechanism of conductivity

The case of small defect with the transition temperature higher than in the bulk is studied. It is shown that localized superconductivity appears in magnetic field — in zero field it does not exist. The percolation mechanism as well as anisotropic character resistivity is studied.     

Reduction of the effective rotational Hamiltonian for pyramidal XY3 molecules with a large-amplitude inversion motion

The previously described reduction of the effective rotational Hamiltonian for semirigid molecules of C_3v or D₃ point group symmetry [M. R. Aliev and V. T. Aleksanyan, Opt. Spectrosc.24, 201–206 (1968)] has been extended to nonrigid molecules with a significant inversion splitting of the energy levels (e.g., NH₃, H₃O⁺, CH₃^?, or SiH₃ molecules). Although for semirigid molecules like PH₃ or AsH₃, the parameters α and η′₃ which appear in the terms α[J₊³ + J_?³, J_z]₊ and η′₃(J₊⁶ + J_?⁶) are almost completely correlated, the effects of the inversion splitting and the accidental resonance which can occur between the interacting rotational levels in nonrigid molecules make it possible to determine α and η′₃ separately. The results of fitting the experimental data for ¹⁴NH₃ and ¹⁵NH₃ [?. Urban, Romola D'Cunha, K. Narahari Rao, and D. Papou?ek, Canad. J. Phys.62, 1775–1791 (1984); Romola D'Cunha, ?. Urban, K. Narahari Rao, L. Henry, and A. Valentin, J. Mol. Spectrosc.111, 352–360 (1985)] are in agreement with this conclusion. The possibility of the determination of the sign of η₃ from a simultaneous analysis of the allowed and Δk = ±3 forbidden transitions in semirigid XY₃ molecules has been discussed.     

Mollwo-Ivey relations for emission bands in copper doped alkali halides

The fluorescence spectra were measured of nine alkali halides with a low concentration of monovalent copper. Relations analogous to Mollwo-Ivey law for F-centers and for lead doped alkali halides were found to be satisfied by the measured wavelengths corresponding to the emission band maxima. The Stokes shifts, however, were here essentially larger as compared to those of lead doped alkali halides. Their order of magnitude is about the same as for F-centers.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. I.
