Peculiar relics from Primordial Black Holes in the inflationary paradigm

Depending on various assumptions on the energy scale of inflation and assuming a primordial power spectrum of a step‐like structure, we explore new possibilities for Primordial Black Holes (PBH) and Planck relics to contribute substantially to Cold Dark Matter in the Universe. A recently proposed possibility to produce Planck relics in four‐dimensional string gravity is considered in this framework. Possible experimental detection of PBHs through gravitational waves is also explored. We stress that inflation with a low energy scale, and also possibly when Planck relics are produced, leads unavoidably to relics originating from PBHs that are not effectively classical during their formation, rendering the usual formalism inadequate for them.     

Oxametallacycloalcanes : V. Synthese de sila-2, germa-2 et stanna-2 oxa-1 cyclopentanes par deshydrocondensation intramoleculaire d'hydrures silicies,germanies ou stanniques γ-hydroxyles

The γ-hydroxymetal hydrides

OH (M = Si, Ge, Sn) were synthesized by reduction of γ-acetoxychloro- or γ-hydroxychloro-silanes, -germanes and -stannanes. These derivatives with MH bonds lead, by cyclisation at room- or higher temperatures, with or without catalyst, depending on the nature of the metal, to various oxametallacyclopentanes. The cyclisation proceeds by intramolecular dehydrocondensation between MH and OH bonds. These dehydrocondensation reactions are analysed and discussed according to the polarity of the MH bonds. Intramolecular addition of the MH bond into the unsaturated carboncarbon bonds of the corresponding non-cyclic compounds is also an excellent way of preparing the same heterocycles.The IR and NMR analyses of all new compounds are given.     

Réactions de germylènes avec divers oxirannes et le thiiranne. Mise en évidence de germanones et germathiones intermédiaires. Communication préliminaire

Complexed dialkylgermylenes R₂GeNR₃ or R₂GePy react with oxiranes or thiirane and lead to dialkylgermanone and germathione via germaoxetanes or germathiacyclobutane. The formation of germadioxolanes or germadithiolane finally observed arises from condensation of dialkylgermanone (or germathione) on oxiranes (or thiirane).     

Low coordinate germanium and tin compounds (ArO)2ME and (ArO)2MM′Ln M=Ge, Sn; E=S, Se, –NSiMe3 M′=Cr, W, Fe, Pt [Ar=2,4,6-tris((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl-]

The reactions of the divalent species (ArO)₂M (Ar=2,4,6-[(CH₃)₂NCH₂]₃C₆H₂; M=Ge, Sn) with either Me₃SiN₃, elemental S₈, Se or transition metal complexes M′(CO)_n+1 (M′=Fe, n=4; M′=Cr, W; n=5) (Ph₃P)₂Pt·C₂H₄ have resulted in the isolation of either the new stable formal metallanimines (ArO)₂M=N–SiMe₃, germanethione, -selone (ArO)₂Ge=E (E=S, Se) (the expected formations of the stannanethione and -selone were not observed), or the (ArO)₂M=M′(CO)_n, (ArO)₂M=Pt(PPh₃)₂ complexes, respectively. The direct oxidation of the (ArO)₂M species with various oxidizing agents led to the formation of the corresponding metalloxanes [(ArO)₂M–O–]₂. All of the chalcogenido- and transition metal–metal 14 complexes have been physicochemically and chemically characterized. The reactions of the (ArO)₂Ge=E (E=S, Se) compounds with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone produced, by extrusion of sulfur or selenium, the dioxametalloles corresponding to the formal addition of the divalent species (ArO)₂M to the benzoquinone. A substitution reaction of chalcogen (S/Se) has been observed permitting to go from germaneselone to germanethione.     

Recent developments in heterocyclic systems with a Si–M′–Ge or Ge–M′–Ge linkage (M′ = Fe,Ru, or Co)

The present review describes recent work on the synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, and investigation of the chemical behaviors of new polynuclear heterocyclic complexes 1–7 having M–M′–M catenation. Various CO substitution, cleavage, expansion, and adducts decomposition reactions are described.

Evidences for Auger recombination in electron-hole droplets (silicon)

The microwave absorption technique was used to measure the transient free carrier density following an electric injection in silicon at 4°K. The experiment agrees with the idea that droplets are obtained by free carrier condensation directly, without a preliminary formation of free excitons.¹ An Auger recombination process in droplets explains the observed kinetics; parameters are measured.     

Hysteresis effect and surface energy of drops in silicon

We report here the observation of the hysteresis effect of the drop luminescence in silicon at the temperature of 6.6 K. Hysteresis ratios up to 2.1 have been registered. The surface energy σ of drops is deduced from the measurement of the energy shift of the drops luminescence at low pumping level. The results yield: σ = (125±60) × 10^?4ergcm^?2.     

Binding probability of free electrons and free holes into Wannier-Mott exciton in non-polar semiconductors

A free electron and a free hole in a crystal may be bound together due to the attractive coulomb field: in semiconductors such an electron-hole pair is similar to the Wannier-Mott exciton. The probability of binding into the fundamental state has been calculated by Lipnik[1]. Lipnik's model does not predict our recent low temperature measurements[2]. Actually the binding probabilities of excited states of excitons must be considered. This is the purpose of the present paper: a quantum model, (adequate in the low temperature limit) and a semi-classical model (adequate when the temperature rises) are presented.     

Exciton cooling and localization in GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum well structures

We report experimental and theoretical results on picosecond time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy of 2D-excitons in multiquantum well structures. A theoretical model is formulated which includes the cooling of the free exciton gas by acoustical phonon emission and the localization of excitons due to interface defects. The cooling rate of 2D excitons is shown to be enhanced with respect to the 3D case.
