Chaplygin electron gas model
We provide a new electromagnetic mass model admitting Chaplygin gas equation
of state. We investigate three specializations, the first characterized by a
vanishing effective pressure, the second provided with a constant effective
density and the third is described by a constant effective pressure. For these
specializations two particular cases are discussed. In addition, for
specialization I, case I we found isotropic coordinate as well as Kretschmann
scalar, and for specialization III, case II two special scenarios have been
studied.Comment: LaTex, some typos correcte
On the method of photoconductive detection of defects in semiconductors by vibrational mode-related Fano resonances
The method of photoconductive detection of defect-related vibrational modes in semiconductors by Fano resonances is validated by a combined photoconductivity and infrared absorption study of the interstitial hydrogen donor in ZnO. Depth-resolved isotopic substitution experiments with varying concentrations of H and D show that the effect of vibrational mode-related absorption has to be taken into account in order to allow for an unambiguous interpretation of the experimental data. A quantitative model is presented which describes the influence of sample thickness, defect concentration, and the presence of other donors on the sign, magnitude, and shape of the Fano resonances. Implications for the photoconductive detection of defect-related vibrational modes are discusse
Dynamics of a rolling robot
Equations describing the rolling of a spherical ball on a horizontal surface are obtained, the motion being activated by an internal rotor driven by a battery mechanism. The rotor is modeled as a point mass mounted inside a spherical shell and caused to move in a prescribed circular orbit relative to the shell. The system is described in terms of four independent dimensionless parameters. The equations governing the angular momentum of the ball relative to the point of contact with the plane constitute a six-dimensional, nonholonomic, nonautonomous dynamical system with cubic nonlinearity. This system is decoupled from a subsidiary system that describes the trajectories of the center of the ball. Numerical integration of these equations for prescribed values of the parameters and initial conditions reveals a tendency toward chaotic behavior as the radius of the circular orbit of the point mass increases (other parameters being held constant). It is further shown that there is a range of values of the initial angular velocity of the shell for which chaotic trajectories are realized while contact between the shell and the plane is maintained. The predicted behavior has been observed in our experiments
Observational Constraints on the Generalized Chaplygin Gas
In this paper we study a quintessence cosmological model in which the dark
energy component is considered to be the Generalized Chaplygin Gas and the
curvature of the three-geometry is taken into account. Two parameters
characterize this sort of fluid, the and the parameters. We use
different astronomical data for restricting these parameters. It is shown that
the constraint agrees enough well with the astronomical
observations.Comment: Accepted by IJMPD; 18 pages; 10 Figure
Self-gravitating clouds of generalized Chaplygin and modified anti-Chaplygin Gases
The Chaplygin gas has been proposed as a possible dark energy, dark matter
candidate. As a working fluid in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe, it
exhibits early behavior reminiscent of dark matter, but at later times is more
akin to a cosmological constant. In any such universe, however, one can expect
local perturbations to form. Here we obtain the general equations for a
self-gravitating relativistic Chaplygin gas. We solve these equations and
obtain the mass-radius relationship for such structures, showing that only in
the phantom regime is the mass-radius relationship large enough to be a serious
candidate for highly compact massive objects at the galaxy core. In addition,
we study the cosmology of a modified anti-Chaplygin gas. A self-gravitating
cloud of this matter is an exact solution to Einstein's equations.Comment: 16 page
First volatile inventory for Gorely volcano, Kamchatka
We report here the very first assessment of volatile flux emissions from Gorely, an actively degassing volcano in Kamchatka. Using a variety of in situ and remote sensing techniques, we determined the bulk plume concentrations of major volatiles (H2O 93.5%, CO2, 2.6%, SO2 2.2%, HCl 1.1%, HF 0.3%, H2 0.2%) and trace-halogens (Br, I), therefore estimating a total gas release of 11,000 tons\ub7day 121 during September 2011, at which time the target was non-eruptively degassing at 900\ub0C. Gorely is a typical arc emitter, contributing 0.3% and 1.6% of the total global fluxes from arc volcanism for CO2 and HCl, respectively. We show that Gorely's volcanic gas (H2O/SO2 43, CO2/SO2 1.2, HCl/SO2 0.5) is a representative mean end-member for arc magmatism in the north-west Pacific region. On this basis we derive new constraints for the abundances and origins of volatiles in the subduction-modified mantle source which feeds magmatism in Kamchatka
On integrable system on with the second integral quartic in the momenta
We consider integrable system on the sphere with an additional integral
of fourth order in the momenta. At the special values of parameters this system
coincides with the Kowalevski-Goryachev-Chaplygin system.Comment: LaTeX, 6 page
Density Functional Application to Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
The LSDA+U approach to density functional theory is carefully reanalyzed. Its
possible link to single-particle Green's function theory is occasionally
discussed. A simple and elegant derivation of the important sum rules for the
on-site interaction matrix elements linking them to the values of U and J is
presented. All necessary expressions for an implementation of LSDA+U into a
non-orthogonal basis solver for the Kohn-Sham equations are given, and
implementation into the FPLO solver is made. Results of application to several
planar cuprate structures are reported in detail and conclusions on the
interpretation of the physics of the electronic structure of the cuprates are
drawn.Comment: invited paper in Journal of Solid State Chemistr
The rolling problem: overview and challenges
In the present paper we give a historical account -ranging from classical to
modern results- of the problem of rolling two Riemannian manifolds one on the
other, with the restrictions that they cannot instantaneously slip or spin one
with respect to the other. On the way we show how this problem has profited
from the development of intrinsic Riemannian geometry, from geometric control
theory and sub-Riemannian geometry. We also mention how other areas -such as
robotics and interpolation theory- have employed the rolling model.Comment: 20 page
