Nonrenormalization Theorem for Gauge Coupling in 2+1D
We prove that \be-function of the gauge coupling in gauge theory
coupled to any renormalizable system of spinor and scalar fields is zero. This
result holds both when the gauge field action is the Chern-Simons action and
when it is the topologically massive action.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX file, CALT-68-191
Activation analysis of admixtures in certain semiconductive materials
The use of extractions and chromatographic operations to separate macrobases, and to divide elements into groups convenient for gamma-spectrometric analysis is discussed. Methods are described for the activation detection of some impurities in silicon, arsenic, thallium, and trichloromethylsilane, on the basis of the extraction properties of bis(2-chlorethyl ether) and dimethylbenzylalkylammonium chloride. A schematic diagram of the extraction separation of elements-admixture is presented showing the aqueous and organic phases. The content percentage of the various elements are given in tables
Glassy Dynamics Under Superhigh Pressure
Nearly all glass-forming liquids feature, along with the structural
alpha-relaxation process, a faster secondary process (beta-relaxation), whose
nature belongs to the great mysteries of glass physics. However, for some of
these liquids, no well-pronounced secondary relaxation is observed. A prominent
example is the archetypical glass-forming liquid glycerol. In the present work,
by performing dielectric spectroscopy under superhigh pressures up to 6 GPa, we
show that in glycerol a significant secondary relaxation peak appears in the
dielectric loss at P > 3 GPa. We identify this beta-relaxation to be of
Johari-Goldstein type and discuss its relation to the excess wing. We provide
evidence for a smooth but significant increase of glass-transition temperature
and fragility on increasing pressure.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, final version with minor changes according to

On the correspondence between the classical and quantum gravity
The relationship between the classical and quantum theories of gravity is
reexamined. The value of the gravitational potential defined with the help of
the two-particle scattering amplitudes is shown to be in disagreement with the
classical result of General Relativity given by the Schwarzschild solution. It
is shown also that the potential so defined fails to describe whatever
non-Newtonian interactions of macroscopic bodies. An alternative interpretation
of the -order part of the loop corrections is given directly in terms
of the effective action. Gauge independence of that part of the one-loop
radiative corrections to the gravitational form factors of the scalar particle
is proved, justifying the interpretation proposed.Comment: Latex 2.09, 3 ps. figures, 17 page
Spin excitations of the correlated semiconductor FeSi probed by THz radiation
By direct measurements of the complex optical conductivity of
FeSi we have discovered a broad absorption peak centered at frequency
that develops at temperatures below 20 K.
This feature is caused by spin-polaronic states formed in the middle of the gap
in the electronic density of states. We observe the spin excitations between
the electronic levels split by the exchange field of . Spin
fluctuations are identified as the main factor determining the formation of the
spin polarons and the rich magnetic phase diagram of FeSi.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
