On a relaxation of normal velocity in a crystal

On a relaxation of normal velocity in a crystal

M.Yu. Kovalevskii, V.A. Krasnikov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 5

Based on two fundamental ideas of N.N. Bogolyubov, namely the concept of quasi-means and the method of reduced description, the effect of crystal lattice on the dynamics of a superfluid is taken into account within the framework of microscopic description. The coefficient of deceleration of normal velocity is expressed in terms of the correlation function. Equations of motion are derived for densities of additive integrals of motion and superfluid momentum. The positive definiteness of entropy production is proved.

On some a priori estimates for the solution to the nonlinear diffusion problem

On some a priori estimates for the solution to the nonlinear diffusion problem

A.V. Schepetilov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 10

In this paper, under consideration is a boundary value problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation describing the cementation process in the hardening of a steel specimen. Its solution is compared with the solution to an analogous linear problem. It is shown that by selecting a diffusion coefficient and boundary and initial conditions in the linear case it is possible to obtain a two-sided estimate for the solution to the nonlinear problem using the solution to the linear problem.

Fermions in the Aharonov-Bohm field: scattering and spin effects

D.V. Gal'tsov, S.A. Voropaev

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 14

Particular features of scattering of relativistic particles with spin 1/2 in the Aharonov-Bohm gauge field are considered. For this purpose use is made of the model of a solenoid of radius $a$ with subsequent passage to the limit for $a\to 0$, the magnetic flux being conserved. It is shown that the electromagnetic potential affects the initial spin state of the particle.

On the ground state of two-dimensional electron gas in a quantizing magnetic field

On the ground state of two-dimensional electron gas in a quantizing magnetic field

V.R. Khalilov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 18

It is shown that the Fermi energy of two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field is quantized. Approximate formulas are obtained for the electron ground state energy in weak and strong magnetic fields with consideration for the interaction of electrons at zero temperature. It follows from the results obtained that,depending on the relationship between the problem parameters (electron density, magnetic field intensity, and orbital angular momentum of relative motion), there can occur phase transitions in the electron system. A simple formula is derived, which relates the Landau level occupancy in a strong magnetic field to the orbital angular momentum of the electron pair.

Quarkonium dissociation in quark-gluon plasma

Quarkonium dissociation in quark-gluon plasma

R.N. Faustov, I.G. Vasilevskaya

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 26

Suppression of birth of $J/\Psi$ charmonium in collisions of heavy ions was observed in several experiments. This phenomenon can be a consequence of formation of quark-gluon plasma, charmonium-hadron collisions, and nuclear absorption effects. Therefore, of interest is the dissociation of quarkonium in quark-gluon plasma. In this communication, calculations are carried out for the processes $J/\Psi+g \to c+\bar{c}$ and $\Upsilon + g \to b+\bar{b}$ at various temperatures.

Processing the probe current-voltage characteristics with consideration for the electron drain to the probe

L.M. Volkova, A.M. Devyatov, M.A. Mal'kov, V.S. Nikolaev

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 39

It is shown that in conducting probe measurements in He discharge plasma, the drain parameter can be assumed energy independent and equal to $\delta=\delta (kT_e)$ to a good accuracy. When the measurements are carried out in discharge plasma in Ramsauer gases Ar, Kr and Xe, the neglect of the drain parameter energy dependence leads to an error of about 50-70% in the determination of both the mean energy of electrons and their concentration.

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 50

The characteristics of a $YAG:Nd^{3+}$ double-wave solid-state laser with monochromatic pumping were studied. Highly stable double-wave lasing was obtained at wavelengths $\lambda_1$ = 1.064 $\mu$m and $\lambda_2$ = 1.318 $\mu$m when a nonlinear-loss element was introduced into the cavity. It was shown that the intensity of generated waves can be controlled by changing the temperature of the active element.

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 54

A possible mechanism of detecting spectra in molecular computers is suggested. The mechanism is based on particle tunneling along the molecular chain in which the potential profile depends on the spectrum of incident radiation. The tunneling factor is calculated for the elementary potential profile with a finite number of barriers and gaps between them.

The luminescence spectrum characteristics of solutions of rhodamine dyes with methylene blue in binary solvents have been studied.

Magnetization of neodymium-yttrium garnet ferrites

K.P. Belov, N.V. Volkova, L.A. Skipetrova

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 69

Magnetization of five single crystals of the $Nd_xY_{3-x}Fe_5O_{12}$ ($x$ = 0.0, 0.5, 0.95, 1.39, and 1.72) system was studied in the temperature range from 4.2 К to the Curie temperature. The measurement results suggest that at the helium temperature the [110], [111] and [100] crystallographic directions are the easy, intermediate, and the hard magnetization directions, respectively. The argeement of the experementally found magnetization values with those calculated by the Neel theory is found to be fairly good on the assumption that an uncollinear magnetic structure is formed in these compounds at temperatures below 77 K.

A.V. Belinskiy

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1990. 45. N 4. P. 83

A quantum solution of the problem of field evolution in a nonlinear resonator with random $Q$ factor is proposed. The inconsistency of relevant semiclassical theories has been demonstrated using the example of phase self-modulation or a paramagnetic gain which occurs in the resonator. In particular, the squeezing efficiency predicted by semiclassical theories proves to be overestimated and the regimes recommended to attain it do not prove to be optimal.
