Compton Scattering from the Deuteron and Extracted Neutron Polarizabilities
Differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the deuteron were
measured at MAX-lab for incident photon energies of 55 MeV and 66 MeV at
nominal laboratory angles of , , and . Tagged
photons were scattered from liquid deuterium and detected in three NaI
spectrometers. By comparing the data with theoretical calculations in the
framework of a one-boson-exchange potential model, the sum and difference of
the isospin-averaged nucleon polarizabilities, and (in units of fm),
have been determined. By combining the latter with the global-averaged value
for and using the predictions of the Baldin sum rule for
the sum of the nucleon polarizabilities, we have obtained values for the
neutron electric and magnetic polarizabilities of (total) (model) and (total) (model), respectively.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, revtex. The text is substantially revised. The
cross sections are slightly different due to improvements in the analysi

Comment on ``Evidence for Narrow Baryon Resonances in Inelastic pp Scattering''
Compton scattering data are sensitive to the existence of low-mass resonances
reported by Tatischeff et al. We show that such states, with their reported
properties, are excluded by previous Compton scattering experiments.Comment: One page, submitted to PR
Extending the lining life in circulatory vacuum units at OAO EVRAZ NTMK
Practical methods for extending the life of submersible tubes in vacuum chambers are considered. The structure of periclase-chromite components is studied. Refractories corresponding to optimal vacuum-chamber operation in the converter shop at OAO EVRAZ NTMK are selected. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc
Quasi-free Compton Scattering from the Deuteron and Nucleon Polarizabilities
Cross sections for quasi-free Compton scattering from the deuteron were
measured for incident energies of 236--260 MeV at the laboratory angle -135
degrees. The recoil nucleons were detected in a liquid-scintillator array
situated at 20 degrees. The measured differential cross sections were used,
with the calculations of Levchuk et al., to determine the polarizabilities of
the bound nucleons. For the bound proton, the extracted values were consistent
with the accepted value for the free proton. Combining our results for the
bound neutron with those from Rose et al., we obtain one-sigma constraints of
alpha_n = 7.6-14.0 and beta_n = 1.2-7.6.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted in PR
Low-Energy Compton Scattering of Polarized Photons on Polarized Nucleons
The general structure of the cross section of scattering with
polarized photon and/or nucleon in initial and/or final state is systematically
described and exposed through invariant amplitudes. A low-energy expansion of
the cross section up to and including terms of order is given which
involves ten structure parameters of the nucleon (dipole, quadrupole,
dispersion, and spin polarizabilities). Their physical meaning is discussed in
detail. Using fixed-t dispersion relations, predictions for these parameters
are obtained and compared with results of chiral perturbation theory. It is
emphasized that Compton scattering experiments at large angles can fix the most
uncertain of these structure parameters. Predictions for the cross section and
double-polarization asymmetries are given and the convergence of the expansion
is investigated. The feasibility of the experimental determination of some of
the struture parameters is discussed.Comment: 41 pages of text, 9 figures; minor revisions prior to publication in

Dirac-Foldy term and the electromagnetic polarizability of the neutron
We reconsider the Dirac-Foldy contribution to the neutron electric
polarizability. Using a Dirac equation approach to neutron-nucleus scattering,
we review the definitions of Compton continuum (), classical
static (), and Schr\"{o}dinger () polarizabilities
and discuss in some detail their relationship. The latter is the
value of the neutron electric polarizability as obtained from an analysis using
the Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We find in particular , where is the magnitude of the magnetic moment
of a neutron of mass . However, we argue that the static polarizability
is correctly defined in the rest frame of the particle, leading to
the conclusion that twice the Dirac-Foldy contribution should be added to
to obtain the static polarizability .Comment: 11 pages, RevTeX, to appear in Physical Review
Non-thermal transport of energy driven by photoexcited carriers in switchable solid states of GeTe
Phase change alloys have seen widespread use from rewritable optical discs to
the present day interest in their use in emerging neuromorphic computing
architectures. In spite of this enormous commercial interest, the physics of
carriers in these materials is still not fully understood. Here, we describe
the time and space dependence of the coupling between photoexcited carriers and
the lattice in both the amorphous and crystalline states of one phase change
material, GeTe. We study this using a time-resolved optical technique called
picosecond acoustic method to investigate the \textit{in situ} thermally
assisted amorphous to crystalline phase transformation in GeTe. Our work
reveals a clear evolution of the electron-phonon coupling during the phase
transformation as the spectra of photoexcited acoustic phonons in the amorphous
(-GeTe) and crystalline (-GeTe) phases are different. In particular
and surprisingly, our analysis of the photoinduced acoustic pulse duration in
crystalline GeTe suggests that a part of the energy deposited during the
photoexcitation process takes place over a distance that clearly exceeds that
defined by the pump light skin depth. In the opposite, the lattice
photoexcitation process remains localized within that skin depth in the
amorphous state. We then demonstrate that this is due to supersonic diffusion
of photoexcited electron-hole plasma in the crystalline state. Consequently
these findings prove the existence of a non-thermal transport of energy which
is much faster than lattice heat diffusion
АНАЛИЗ ЭЛЕКТРОННОЙ СТРУКТУРЫ ЭЛЕКТРИЧЕСКИ ИНДУЦИРОВАННОЙ КВАНТОВОЙ ТОЧКИ ВО ВНЕШНЕМ МАГНИТНОМ ПОЛЕ
Numerical modeling of the electronic structure of a quantum dot, induced by an electric field of a nanosized disc-shaped gate, is carried out in the presence of external magnetic field. The dependences of an electronic energy spectrum on electric and magnetic fields are calculated using the finite element method. It has been found that a series of anti-crossing points for electronic levels takes place at relatively small magnetic fields. The existence of groups of close-energy levels (electronic shells) has been found. It has been shown that despite the essential distinction of the gate potential from the parabolic one, a model of a near-surface anisotropic harmonic oscillator can be effectively used for a qualitative description of the electronic structure of the electrically induced quantum dot. With the use of this model, the evolution of energy spectrum and wave function structure with magnetic and electric fields is described. In particular, the anisotropic oscillator model allows to predict anti-crossing points of electronic levels in external fields, as well as quasi-degeneracy of states having different values of the angular momentum projection. Проведено численное моделирование электронной структуры квантовой точки, индуцированной электрическим полем наноразмерного дискообразного затвора и находящейся во внешнем магнитном поле. С помощью метода конечных элементов рассчитаны зависимости энергетического спектра электрона от величины магнитного поля и потенциала на затворе. Обнаружено наличие последовательности точек квазипересечения электронных уровней при относительно слабых магнитных полях, а также существование групп близких уровней энергии (электронных оболочек). Показано, что, несмотря на существенное отличие потенциала затвора от параболического потенциала, для качественного описания электронной структуры электрически индуцированной квантовой точки возможно использование модели приповерхностного анизотропного гармонического осциллятора. На основании этой модели описаны закономерности эволюции структуры волновых функций при изменении потенциала затвора и магнитного поля. В частности, модель анизотропного осциллятора позволяет предсказать появление точек квазипересечения электронных уровней при изменении внешних полей, а также квазивырождение состояний с различными значениями проекции орбитального момента импульса.
