Underbarrier nucleation kinetics in a metastable quantum liquid near the spinodal
We develop a theory in order to describe the effect of relaxation in a
condensed medium upon the quantum decay of a metastable liquid near the
spinodal at low temperatures. We find that both the regime and the rate of
quantum nucleation strongly depend on the relaxation time and its temperature
behavior. The quantum nucleation rate slows down with the decrease of the
relaxation time. We also discuss the low temperature experiments on cavitation
in normal He and superfluid He at negative pressures. It is the sharp
distinctions in the high frequency sound mode and in the temperature behavior
of the relaxation time that make the quantum cavitation kinetics in He and
He completely different in kind.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Optical fiber beam loss monitor for the PHIL and ThomX facilities
ISBN 978-3-95450-132-8International audienceFiber beam loss monitor (FBLM) is an attractive solution to measure beam losses intensity and position in real time. It is a very useful tool, especially, for the commissioning and the beam alignment. In this article we report on the development of the FBLM at PHIL (PHotoinIector at LAL, Orsay, France) as a prototype of the beam loss monitor for the ThomX machine, the compact Compton based X-ray source being in the construction phase in Orsay
On the spectrum of facet crystallization waves at the smooth 4He crystal surface
The wavelike processes of crystallization and melting or crystallization
waves are well known to exist at the 4He crystal surface in the rough state.
Much less is known about crystallization waves for the 4He crystal surface in
the smooth well-faceted state below the roughening transition temperature. To
meet the lack, we analyze here the spectrum of facet crystallization waves and
its dependence upon the wavelength, perturbation amplitude, and the number of
possible facet steps distributed somehow over the wavelength. All the
distinctive features of facet crystallization waves from conventional waves at
the rough surface result from a nonanalytic cusplike behavior in the angle
dependence for the surface tension of smooth crystal facets.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Backflow and dissipation during the quantum decay of a metastable Fermi liquid
The particle current in a metastable Fermi liquid against a first-order phase
transition is calculated at zero temperature. During fluctuations of a droplet
of the stable phase, in accordance with the conservation law, not only does an
unperturbed current arise from the continuity at the boundary, but a backflow
is induced by the density response. Quasiparticles carrying these currents are
scattered by the boundary, yielding a dissipative backflow around the droplet.
An energy of the hydrodynamic mass flow of the liquid and a friction force
exerted on the droplet by the quasiparticles have been obtained in terms of a
potential of their interaction with the droplet.Comment: 5 pages (REVTeX), to be published in Phys. Rev.
Energy relaxation in the spin-polarized disordered electron liquid
The energy relaxation in the spin-polarized disordered electron systems is
studied in the diffusive regime. We derived the quantum kinetic equation in
which the kernel of electron-electron collision integral explicitly depends on
the electron magnetization. As the consequence, the inelastic scattering rate
is found to have non-monotonic dependence on the spin polarization of the
electron system
Exact Haldane mapping for all and super universality in spin chains
The low energy dynamics of the anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain
in the semiclassical limit is known to map onto the O(3) nonlinear
model with a term in 1+1 dimension. Guided by the underlying
dual symmetry of the spin chain, as well as the recently established
topological significance of "dangling edge spins," we report an {\em exact}
mapping onto the O(3) model that avoids the conventional large
approximation altogether. Our new methodology demonstrates all the super
universal features of the angle concept that previously arose in the
theory of the quantum Hall effect. It explains why Haldane's original ideas
remarkably yield the correct answer in spite of the fundamental complications
that generally exist in the idea of semiclassical expansions
Renormalization of hole-hole interaction at decreasing Drude conductivity
The diffusion contribution of the hole-hole interaction to the conductivity
is analyzed in gated GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures. We show
that the change of the interaction correction to the conductivity with the
decreasing Drude conductivity results both from the compensation of the singlet
and triplet channels and from the arising prefactor in the
conventional expression for the interaction correction.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Domain wall effects in ferromagnet-superconductor structures
We investigate how domain structure of the ferromagnet in
superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructures may change their transport
properties. We calculate the distribution of current in the superconductor
induced by magnetic field of Bloch domain walls, find the ``lower critical''
magnetization of the ferromagnet that provides vortices in the superconductor
Info-Communicative and Protective Function of the State as Combating Fraud using Sberbank Bank Cards
Financial crimes are defined as unfair activities that have become widespread in banking structures. The activities of financial fraudsters often have negative consequences before public rules are created that prohibit them. Intensive transformation processes in financial markets, their automation and virtualisation, the spread of remote interaction between banks and their clients, the influence of unauthorised persons on the software and hardware systems of banks, an increase in the number of cases and trading volumes determine the relevance of clarifying the essence of this phenomenon and the peculiarities of its manifestation in banking structures. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that financial violations can be represented both in the structure of the current activities of banks and the process of interaction with clients and in the structure of expanding the list of services provided. The leading method to study this problem is the method of analysis, which allows to identify and comprehensively consider ways to counter financial crimes in banks to improve the level of financial security. The authors show that structurally, one should take into account, first of all, countermeasures on the part of customers, which often serve as a source of obtaining personal data. In this case, the state function is considered only as a security function for the purpose of possible punishment for fraudulent actions. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibilities of structural implementation of combating financial fraudulent actions in the context of the development of the information society
