Влияние газовой фазы на величину тока в ячейке бесконтактного восстановления
Для исследования процесса восстановления окиси железа углеродом использована методика, основанная на измерении тока, возникающего между нагретыми телами. С этой целью сконструирована кварцевая ячейка, позволяющая жестко устанавливать образцы графита и окиси железа на определенном расстоянии друг от друга. Изучено влияние отдельных реакций на каждом электроде на суммарный ток. Для этого проведена серия опытов в нейтральной, окисленной и восстановительной атмосферах. Установлено, что окисление графита в среде воздуха сопровождается возрастанием тока положительной полярности. В среде водорода значения тока невелики. В нейтральной среде гелия ток имеет положительную полярность, а величина его не зависит от присутствия того или иного реагента. Необходима дальнейшая работа по повышению величины полезного сигнала в регистрируемом токе
One particle interchain hopping in coupled Hubbard chains
Interchain hopping in systems of coupled chains of correlated electrons is
investigated by exact diagonalizations and Quantum-Monte-Carlo methods. For two
weakly coupled Hubbard chains at commensurate densities (e.g. n=1/3) the
splitting at the Fermi level between bonding and antibonding bands is strongly
reduced (but not suppressed) by repulsive interactions extending to a few
lattice spacings. The magnitude of this reduction is directly connected to the
exponent of the 1D Luttinger liquid. However, we show that the
incoherent part of the single particle spectral function is much less affected
by the interchain coupling. This suggests that incoherent interchain hopping
could occur for intermediate values.Comment: 4 pages, LaTeX 3.0, 7 PostScript figures in uuencoded for
A pulsed, mono-energetic and angular-selective UV photo-electron source for the commissioning of the KATRIN experiment
The KATRIN experiment aims to determine the neutrino mass scale with a
sensitivity of 200 meV/c^2 (90% C.L.) by a precision measurement of the shape
of the tritium -spectrum in the endpoint region. The energy analysis of
the decay electrons is achieved by a MAC-E filter spectrometer. To determine
the transmission properties of the KATRIN main spectrometer, a mono-energetic
and angular-selective electron source has been developed. In preparation for
the second commissioning phase of the main spectrometer, a measurement phase
was carried out at the KATRIN monitor spectrometer where the device was
operated in a MAC-E filter setup for testing. The results of these measurements
are compared with simulations using the particle-tracking software
"Kassiopeia", which was developed in the KATRIN collaboration over recent
years.Comment: 19 pages, 16 figures, submitted to European Physical Journal
The spectral weight of the Hubbard model through cluster perturbation theory
We calculate the spectral weight of the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard
models, by performing exact diagonalizations of finite clusters and treating
inter-cluster hopping with perturbation theory. Even with relatively modest
clusters (e.g. 12 sites), the spectra thus obtained give an accurate
description of the exact results. Thus, spin-charge separation (i.e. an
extended spectral weight bounded by singularities) is clearly recognized in the
one-dimensional Hubbard model, and so is extended spectral weight in the
two-dimensional Hubbard model.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Interrelation of Superconducting and Antiferromagnetic Gaps in High-Tc Compounds: a Test Case for a Microscopic Theory
Recent angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) data, which found evidence for a
d-wave-like modulation of the antiferromagnetic gap, suggest an intimate
interrelation between the antiferromagnetic insulator and the superconductor
with its d-wave gap. This poses a new challenge to microscopic descriptions,
which should account for this correlation between, at first sight, very
different states of matter. Here, we propose a microscopic mechanism which
provides a definite correlation between these two different gap structures: it
is shown that a projected SO(5) theory, which aims at unifying
antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity via a common symmetry principle
while explicitly taking the Mott-Hubbard gap into account, correctly describes
the observed gap characteristics. Specifically, it accounts for both the
dispersion and the order of magnitude difference between the antiferromagnetic
gap modulation and the superconducting gap.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Mice with genetically altered glucocorticoid receptor expression show altered sensitivity for stress-induced depressive reactions
Altered glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling is a postulated mechanism for the pathogenesis of major depression. To mimic the human situation of altered GR function claimed for depression, we generated mouse strains that underexpress or overexpress GR, but maintain the regulatory genetic context controlling the GR gene. To achieve this goal, we used the following: (1) GR-heterozygous mutant mice (GR+/-) with a 50% GR gene dose reduction, and (2) mice overexpressing GR by a yeast artificial chromosome resulting in a twofold gene dose elevation. GR+/- mice exhibit normal baseline behaviors but demonstrate increased helplessness after stress exposure, a behavioral correlate of depression in mice. Similar to depressed patients, GR+/- mice have a disinhibited hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system and a pathological dexamethasone/corticotropin-releasing hormone test. Thus, they represent a murine depression model with good face and construct validity. Overexpression of GR in mice evokes reduced helplessness after stress exposure, and an enhanced HPA system feedback regulation. Therefore, they may represent a model for a stress-resistant strain. These mouse models can now be used to study biological changes underlying the pathogenesis of depressive disorders. As a first potential molecular correlate for such changes, we identified a downregulation of BDNF protein content in the hippocampus of GR+/- mice, which is in agreement with the so-called neurotrophin hypothesis of depression
Potentielle Wirkung von Unkräutern auf die P-Mobilisierung unter Mais
Die Rhizosphäre ist ein Hot Spot pflanzlicher und mikrobieller Aktivität zur Nährstoffmobilisierung und die Effizienz der Nutzung von Phosphor (P) unterscheidet sich pflanzen- artenspezifisch. Während die P-Mobilisierung in der Rhizosphäre verschiedener Kulturpflanzen intensiv untersucht wurde, ist die Bedeutung der Unkräuter auf die P-Verfügbarkeit für die vergesellschafteten Kulturpflanzen in Balance von Nährstoffkonkurrenz und Mobilisierungsleistung wenig bekannt. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wird geprüft, ob eine zeitweise Toleranz von Unkräutern im Bestand die P-Verfügbarkeit für die Nutzpflanze Mais (Zea mays) durch die Mobilisierungsaktivität der Unkrautarten verbessern kann. Zu diesem Zweck wurden in zwei Versuchsjahren (2015 und 2016) Gefäßversuche unter Halbfreilandbedingungen mit einem P-defizienten Boden etabliert. Mais als mykorrhizierte Testpflanze wurde alleine und in Kombination mit sechs verschiedenen sowohl mykorrhizierten als auch nicht mykorrhizierten Unkrautarten kultiviert (Chenopodium album, Echinochloa crus-galli, Tripleurospermum perforatum, Polygonum convolvulus, Solanum nigrum, Viola arvensis). Um einen möglichen unkrautartspezifischen Einfluss auf die P-Mobilisierung unter Mais zu erfassen, wurden Boden- (u.a. Phosphatasen-Aktivitäten, mikrobieller Biomasse-P, pflanzenverfügbarer P) und Pflanzenparameter (Ertrag, Nährstoffgehalte und Mykorrhizierungsgrad der Feinwurzeln) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse belegen signifikante pflanzenkombinationsspezifische Unterschiede in der P-Mobilisierung und P-Aufnahme
Critical Properties in Dynamical Charge Correlation Function for the One-Dimensional Mott Insulator
Critical properties in the dynamical charge correlation function for the
one-dimensional Mott insulator are studied. By properly taking into account
{\it the final-state interaction} between the charge and spin degrees of
freedom, we find that the edge singularity in the charge correlation function
is governed by massless spinon excitations, although it is naively expected
that spinons do not directly contribute to the charge excitation over the
Hubbard gap. We obtain the momentum-dependent anomalous critical exponent by
applying the finite-size scaling analysis to the Bethe ansatz solution of the
half-filled Hubbard model.Comment: 7 pages, REVTe
