Temperature dependence of development of slip bands and of strain hardening in AgCl crystals

The dependence of the flow stress and the slip band density on the plastic strain has been measured at 201 K, 293 K and 363 K. The growth of deformation concentrated in an average slip band has been stated. The types of obstacles acting against the rise and development of a slip band and the temperature dependence of the strain hardening in AgCl crystals are discussed. An equation stating the dependence of the flow stress on the slip band density is presented. The hardening in AgCl crystals is classified as the stage III — hardening.     

Frequency spectra of CFC metals and correlated spectral density between bulk atoms

The Green's function generating coefficients method is applied to the calculation of frequency spectra and correlated spectral density for bulk atoms of copper and platinum. The mean square and mean correlated displacements are then deduced. The method is certainly a powerful tool allowing precise calculation of all quantities related to vibrational properties of solids.     

Gamma radiation from the209Bi(3He, 3nγ)209at reaction

Gamma-radiation from the reactions of 28 MeV and 26 MeV³He-ions on the²⁰⁹Bi target has been studied by means of Ge(Li) detectors. Individual observed prompt -ray transitions have been assigned to the corresponding reactions. The results of previous studies of the²⁰⁹At nucleus have been verified and completed. Two new levels at energies of 640 keV and 1270·5 keV have been introduced. Additionally, 15 new transitions have been observed which could belong to²⁰⁹At. The²⁰⁹At level structure is discussed in terms of nuclear models.     

Plasma acceleration in a wave with varying frequency

The averaged velocity of a test particle and the averaged velocity of a plasma in an electro-magnetic wave packet with varying frequency (e.g., a radiation pulse from pulsar) is derived. The total momentum left by the wave packet in regions of plasma inhomogeneity is found. If the plasma concentration is changing due to ionization, the plasma may be accelerated parallelly or antiparallelly to the direction of the wave packet propagation, which is relevant for a laser induced breakdown in gas.The author thanks R.Klíma for numerous discussions.     

Phase diagram of the ANNNI model in the Hamiltonian limit

The Hamiltonian limit of the ANNNI model in (1+1) dimensions is studied by using the Quantum Statistical Monte Carlo method. Even if recent results suggest that Monte Carlo calculations may prove unreliable in the study of this system, the phase diagram of the quantum version of the model was successfully obtained. In particular, the clusive transitions between the disordered, the floating incommensurate and the degenerate 2, 2 are determined by analysing the correlation length behaviour in finite lattices.Partially supported by CONICET Argentina     

Structural and magnetic phase transitions in Pr2NiO4

Neutron powder diffraction and magnetization measurements have been performed in stoichiometric Pr₂NiO₄₊(0), which at room temperature (RT) is orthorhombic (Bmab). Ni²⁺ becomes three dimensionally (3D) antiferromagnetically ordered atT _N 325K, with a propagation vectork=[100], and spins oriented along thea axis (parallel to the propagation vector). The magnetic structure belongs to the _7g (––+)-representation (g _x mode, Shubnikov groupB _pmab') ofBmab, and a magnetic moment of 1.5 _B is measured at 155K. This compound undergoes two different structural phase transitions. First, going down in temperature, Pr₂NiO₄ transforms by a first order phase transition from orthorhombic (Bmab) to tetragonal (P4₂/ncm) atT _c1115K. At high temperature, we can predict a transformation from orthorhombic (Bmab) to tetragonal (I4/mmm) in a continuous way. The extrapolated temperature for this second structural transition isT _c21500±100K. The low temperature structural transformation allows a change in the magnetic structure which forT<T _c1 is better described in the orthorhombic symmetry. Just belowT _c1 the magnetic structure is described by the: _3g (–+)-representation ofPccn(g_xc_yf_z mode, Shubnikov groupPccn), this magnetic phase begins to disappear going down in temperature and at the same time a new magnetic phase grows. This new magnetic structure is described by the _1g ofPccn (c _xg_ya_z mode, Shubnikov groupPccn). Both magnetic structures coexist in a certain temperature range. At 1.5 K thec _xg_ya_z mode represents the total of the magnetic ordering. To reproduce the observed magnetic intensities we are forced to consider that Pr³⁺ is polarized below 40 K, with a magnetic structure which is coupled to the Ni sublattices (i.e. _1g and _3g ). The magnetic moment at low temperature for Pr is about 1.28 _B .     

Sufficiency and fuzziness in random experiments

In previous papers, the consequences of the “presence of fuzziness” in the experimental information on which statistical inferences are based were discussed. Thus, the intuitive assertion «fuzziness entails a loss of information» was formalized, by comparing the information in the “exact case” with that in the “fuzzy case”. This comparison was carried out through different criteria to compare experiments (in particular, that based on the “pattern” one, Blackwell's sufficiency criterion). Our purpose now is slightly different, in the sense that we try to compare two “fuzzy cases”. More precisely, the question we are interested in is the following: how will different “degrees of fuzziness” in the experimental information affect the sufficiency? In this paper, a study of this question is carried out by constructing an alternative criterion (equivalent to sufficiency under comparability conditions), but whose interpretation is more intuitive in the fuzzy case. The study is first developed for Bernoulli experiments, and the coherence with the axiomatic requirements for measures of fuzziness is also analyzed in such a situation. Then it is generalized to other random experiments and a simple example is examined.
