Stability of models with four-fermion interaction in the presence of vector fields

On the basis of an effective potential for quarks and gluons, for models with fourfermion interaction, stability is examined both with and without vector fields (gluons). The stability conditions relate the main characteristics of four-quark models with quark and gluon condensates.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

The impact of nonequilibrium gain in a spectral laser diode model

We describe the inclusion of nonequilibrium gain into a self-consistent 2.5D CW spectral laser diode model and report on the use of this model to investigate the origin of gain compression in a 975 nm high-brightness tapered QW laser diode. Nonequilibrium gain is calculated using a dynamic gain model, which simulates the dynamic relaxation of the quantum well carrier energy distributions under the influence of steady-state electrical and optical excitation. Calculated gain and spontaneous emission spectra are included in the laser model via parameterised look up tables. Both simulated and experimentally measured intracavity spontaneous emission spectra show an increased carrier density and a blue-shift of the gain maximum with increasing bias caused by carrier heating and spectral hole burning. The accurate incorporation of nonequilibrium gain compression is therefore vital for the accurate prediction of the operating characteristics of these devices and for the experimental determination of the active region temperature.     

1-Hydro-3-vinylhexamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and its polymerization

1,3-Dimethyl-3-vinyl-1,3-dichlorosiloxane is prepared by partial cohydrolysis of methylvinyldichlorosilane and methyldichlorosilane, and its cohydrolysis with sym-tetra-methyldichlorodisiloxane gives 1-hydro-3-vinylhexamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane. A study is made of the kinetics of the polymerization of the latter in CCL₄ in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ · 6H₂O     

Hydrolysis of dimethyl 1-acetoxy-2,2,2-trichloroethyl phosphonate

Conclusions The hydrolysis of chloroacetophos in water includes the parallel cleavage of acetic acid, hydrochloric acid and methanol. The ratio of the products, formed in the parallel steps, was determined, and we also determined the total rate constant for the hydrolysis of chloroacetophos.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2336–2338, October, 1971.
