Large non-adiabatic hole polarons and matrix element effects in the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of dielectric cuprates
It has been made an extention of the conventional theory based on the
assumption of the well isolated Zhang-Rice singlet to be a first
electron-removal state in dielectric copper oxide. One assumes the photohole
has been localised on either small (pseudo)Jahn-Teller polaron or large
non-adiabatic polaron enclosed one or four to five centers,
respectively, with active one-center valent
manifold. In the framework of the cluster model we have performed a model
microscopic calculation of the -dependence of the matrix element
effects and photon polarization effects for the angle-resolved photoemission in
dielectric cuprate like . We show that effects like the
''remnant Fermi surface'' detected in ARPES experiment for
may be, in fact, a reflection of the matrix element
effects, not a reflection of the original band-structure Fermi surface, or the
strong antiferromagnetic correlations. The measured dispersion-like features in
the low-energy part of the ARPES spectra may be a manifestation of the complex
momentum-dependent spectral line-shape of the large PJT polaron response, not
the dispersion of the well-isolated Zhang-Rice singlet in antiferromagnetic
matrix.Comment: 16 pages, TeX, 9 eps figures adde
Si(111) strained layers on Ge(111): evidence for c(2x4) domains
The tensile strained Si(111) layers grown on top of Ge(111) substrates are
studied by combining scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron
diffraction and first-principles calculations. It is shown that the layers
exhibit c(2x4) domains, which are separated by domain walls along
directions. A model structure for the c(2x4) domains is proposed, which shows
low formation energy and good agreement with the experimental data. The results
of our calculations suggest that Ge atoms are likely to replace Si atoms with
dangling bonds on the surface (rest-atoms and adatoms), thus significantly
lowering the surface energy and inducing the formation of domain walls. The
experiments and calculations demonstrate that when surface strain changes from
compressive to tensile, the (111) reconstruction converts from
dimer-adatom-stacking fault-based to adatom-based structures
Phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of oxide systems on the basis of rare earth, alkaline earth and 3d-transition (Mn, Fe, Co) metals. A short overview of
Review is dedicated studies of phase equilibria in the systems based on rare earth elements and 3d transition metals. It’s highlighted several structural families of these compounds and is shown that many were found interesting properties for practical application, such as high conductivity up to the superconducting state, magnetic properties, catalytic activity of the processes of afterburning of exhaust gases, the high mobility in the oxygen sublattice and more
Effective moment of inertia for several fission reaction systems induced by nucleons, light particles and heavy ions
Compound nucleus effective moment of inertia has been calculated for several
fission reaction systems induced by nucleons, light particles, and heavy ions.
Determination of this quantity for these systems is based upon the comparison
between the experimental data of the fission fragment angular distributions as
well as the prediction of the standard saddle-point statistical model (SSPSM).
For the systems, the two cases, namely with and without neutron emission
corrections were considered. In these calculations, it is assumed that all the
neutrons are emitted before reaching the saddle point.It should be noted that
the above method for determining of the effective moment of inertia had not
been reported until now and this method is used for the first time to determine
compound nucleus effective moment of inertia. Hence, our calculations are of
particular importance in obtaining this quantity, and have a significant rule
in the field of fission physics. Afterwards, our theoretical results have been
compared with the data obtained from the rotational liquid drop model as well
as the Sierk model, and satisfactory agreements were found. Finally, we have
considered the effective moment of inertia of compound nuclei for the systems
that formed similar compound nuclei at similar excitation energies.Comment: 9 pages, 2 Figures, 2 Table
Crystal structure and oxygen nonstoichiometry of oxides in the Ba-Me-Me’-Y-O (Me, Me’=Co, Fe) system
Polycrystalline BaМe1-xYxO3-δ(Me=Co, Fe) samples were synthesized by a conventional route and glycerol-nitrate technique. According XRD patterns of single phase solid solutions BaCo1-xYxO3-δ (0.1≤x≤0.4) and BaFe0.9-yY0.1CoyO3-δ (0.05≤y≤0.15) were indexed using Pm3m space group. The unit cell parameters were refined using Rietveld full-profile analysis. Oxygen non-stoichiometry of these solid solutions was measured by means of thermogravimetric technique within the temperature range 298-1273 K in air.The work was supported under financial support from RFBR № 13-03-00958 and Ministry of Science and Education of Russian Federation within the limits of the Federal target program "Scientific and scienceeducational cadres of innovative Russia for 2009-2013"
Parametric Generation of Second Sound by First Sound in Superfluid Helium
We report the first experimental observation of parametric generation of
second sound (SS) by first sound (FS) in superfluid helium in a narrow
temperature range in the vicinity of . The temperature dependence
of the threshold FS amplitude is found to be in a good quantitative agreement
with the theory suggested long time ago and corrected for a finite geometry.
Strong amplitude fluctuations and two types of the SS spectra are observed
above the bifurcation. The latter effect is quantitatively explained by the
discreteness of the wave vector space and the strong temperature dependence of
the SS dissipation length.Comment: 4 pages, 4 postscript figures, REVTE
