Density functional theory for a model of nonuniform liquid metal in partially ionized states

Summary The problem of the electronic, ionic and atomic density profiles in a nonuniform liquid metal which can locally exist in partially ionized states is examined using the density functional formalism. Ions and electrons are allowed to bind into atoms through a ?reaction? governed by the mass action law. Formally exact equations for the density profiles are given in terms of the inverse response matrix of the nonuniform system, which consists of two terms: the first corresponding to to a mixture of ions, electrons and structureless atoms and the other to the atomic internal degrees of freedom. Approximate schemes are proposed for both contributions, stressing, in partieular, i) how ionization of the atoms arises with increasing density and the relation with Mott’s criterion for the metal-insulator transition, and ii) the usefulness of a weak-coupling assumption for interspecies correlations. This formalism used together with properly parametrized trial functions for the density profiles should be particularly useful for studying the liquid-vapour interface of alkali metals.

Riassunto Il lavoro usa il formalismo del funzionale di densità per discutere la determinazione dei profili di densità in un fluido non omogeneo che può trovarsi localmente in stati di ionizzazione parziale. Con riferimento specifico ai metalli alcalini, la formazione di atomi per legame di ioni ed electtroni è descritta come una ?reazione? governata dalla legge di azione di massa. Le condizioni di equilibrio microscopico del fluido sono espresse tramite una matrice di risposta in cui appaiono due contributi, associati rispettivamente ai gradi di libertà interni degli atomi e ad una miscela di tre specie di particelle senza struttura interna. Si propongono quindi schemi approssimati per il calcolo di questi due contributi, con attenzione particolare all’uso di teorie perturbative e alla relazione tra grado di ionizzazione locale e densità localle, in connessione col criterio di Mott per la transizione isolante-metallo. Il formalismo proposto è in particolare appropriato per lo studio dell’interfaccia liquido-vapore in metalli alcalini.

On the effective field and optical constants of alkali halides containingF colour centres

Summary The Onsager and Lorentz local fields ofF colour centres are compared and their change as a function of angular frequency and temperature is also considered. The change of these fields is proportional to the change of the refractive index produced byF centres. Some approximations about the explicit temperature dependence of the refractive-index change are also presented.

Riassunto I campi locali di Onsager e Lorentz diF centri di colore sono confrontati e si considera il loro cambiamento in funzione della frequenza angolare e della temperatura. Il cambiamento di questi campi è proporzionale al cambiamento dell'indice di rifrazione prodotto daF centri. Si presentano anche alcune approssimazioni riguardo alla esplicita dipendenza dalla temperatura del cambiamento dell'indice di rifrazione.

     

Activation energy and hall-coefficient measurements in lightly dopedn-InP in the thermal freeze-out region

Summary The direct-current resistivity, β, and Hall coefficient,R _H, of lightly dopedn-type InP samples were measured at temperatures (T) down to 12K and magnetic fields up to 4.8 kG. A sharp exponential increase in β, asT was decreased, was observed for temperatures below 80 K. The Hall coefficient showed a similar trend,i.e. R _H increased sharply asT was reduced below 80 K. This is attributed to the freeze-out of conduction electrons onto their donor sites. The donor activation energy,E _d, calculated from the temperature dependence of the resistivity, was less than the theoretical prediction. An enhanced dielectric constant would be a possible candidate for such behaviour. The initial decrease in β (asT is reduced) recorded in the higher-temperature region is due to impurity scattering probably combined with lattice scattering. The authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.     

Solar-microclimate study in urban areas

Summary A study on solar microclimates in eight medium and large European cities, supported by EEC from 1986 to 1988, could allow to mark the main resemblances and anomalies in the solar-radiation features in different geographical and climatic regions in Northern, Central and Southern Europe and also to achieve reliable estimates of available energy in thermal-conversion processes of solar radiation. This paper presents the results of an analysis of solar-radiation observations taken during the EEC study and discusses the main solar climatic peculiarities of the urban area of Turin (one of the eight cities involved in this project), comparing them to other European regions (south and north of Turin).     

Ising model in a quasiperiodic transverse field,percolation, and contact processes in quasiperiodic environments

Quantum Ising models in a transverse field are related to continuous-time percolation processes whose oriented percolation versions are contact processes. We study such models in the presence of quasiperiodic disorder and prove localization in the ground state, no percolation, and extinction, respectively, for sufficiently large disorder.

The collisional broadening and shift of four spectral lines of neon (747.2, 748.8, 753.5, 754.4 nm) arising from 2p⁵ 3p - 2p⁵ 3d transitions, emitted from a low-pressure glow discharge in pure neon and neon-helium mixtures have been measured using a Fabry-Perot interferometer.
