Electron - fhonon interaction in the vicinity of a van-hove singularity

Yu.P. Drozhzhov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1980. 35. N 2. P. 10

The interaction between electrons and acoustic phonons in the vicinity of a Van - Hove singular point is considered. It is shown that even weak interaction leads to a considerable change in the characteristics of the electron gas in the region of the singularity. The electron spectrum changes from quadratic to linear, while the density of states falls off linearly in the neighborhood of the singular point.

Two problems of nonstationary thermal self-action

V.A. Vysloukh and S.S. Chesnokov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1980. 35. N 2. P. 21

Two nonstationary thermal self-action modes are considered: for pulse durations of the order of the transit time of the acoustic wave through the transverse cross section of the beam and of the order of the time taken for a steady temperature to be established in the beam channel. The method of finite elements is used to solve the quasi-optics equation. The equations of hydrodynamics and nonstationary thermal conduction are solved using the Fourier - Bessel transformation. A number of results of a numerical experiment are given for different values of the parameters of the medium in the beam.

The action of Ƴ-radiation on the electrical characteristics of natural quartz

V.G. Zubov, A.P. Shtyrkova, Т.M. Glushkova and M.M. Firsova

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1980. 35. N 2. P. 28

The temperature - frequency dependences (20-700°C; 0.5-10 kHz) of the dielectric characteristics (ε and tgδ) of natural quartz crystals irradiated with Ƴ-quanta from $^{60}$Со in the dose range 5x10$^5$—2x10$^9$ Rare investigated. It is shown that the maximum loss and the beginning of the rapid increase in ε are shifted due to the irradiation towards higher temperatures, and the shift is greater the higher the radiation dose. It is found that unlike optical properties the radiation change in ε and tgδ does not reach saturation over the whole dose range. A series of successive annealings of the specimens atincreasing temperatures shifts the peak of tg6 and the beginning of the increase in ε in the opposite direction to the temperature, but even annealing at 720°C does not convert the specimen to its initial state. In analyzing the results the applicability of the model of hole Al-centers (used to describe the change in the optical properties due to the action of radiation) to dielectric relaxation processes is discussed.

Stability of the flows of an ideal nonuniform liquid

D.M. Alishaev

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1980. 35. N 2. P. 34

The stability of two - dimensional stationary flows of an ideal nonuniform liquid with respect to arbitrary three - dimensional infinitely small perturbations is investigated. The time - asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the hydrodynamic equations linearized with respect to the mean state is examined. It is shown that the flow is conditionally stable when Ri > 1/4 everywhere in the flow (the velocities are limited while the vortex increases linearly), and unstable in the regions where Ri < 1/4 (the perturbation energy increases without limit at the expense of the energy of the main flow).

The cooling of a gas by a resonant electromagnetic field under saturation conditions

S.N. Luzgin

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1980. 35. N 2. P. 59

The cooling of a gas by the field of a standing electromagnetic wave for an arbitrary field amplitude is investigated. In weak fields, when there is no saturation, the rate of cooling is proportional to the incident power, the increase then slows down, and up to the boundary of the region of nonuniform broadening the rate of cooling is proportional to the square root of the radiation power. In the region of uniform broadening(intense field)the increase in the rate of cooling gradually ceases.

Collective quantum features of the relaxation of nonlinear polariton excitations

Collective quantum features of the relaxation of nonlinear polariton excitations

B.A. Grishanin

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1980. 35. N 2. P. 63

A closed system of equations of the second - moments approximation for the average values and correlation functions of the atomic operators is obtained neglecting the mutual effect of quantum fluctuations of the populations in different atoms. The nonlinearity in these equations is introduced solely by the populations via the diagonal part of the correlation matrix of the atoms. For the case of a rarefied gas a complete investigation of the dynamics of spontaneous superradiation without a phenomenological simplification of the problem of the geometry of the medium is given, i.e., on the basis of an analysis of the collective matrix of the propagation of the excitation. The complete coherence of the superradiation for small Fresnel numbers is established and the coherence is estimated in the general case; the excitation of a very large number of modes and the presence of stochastic intermode beats due to collective frequency shifts which are different for different modes is explained, the dependence of the intensity on the concentration, which is nonquadratic with deviations from quadratic of <10%, and the delay time of the pulse, are refined.

The motion of the boundary and the temperature in it are a pproximated by linear functions of time.
