Is simultaneous and --scaling in the quasi-elastic region accidental?
We study the and --scaling of the nuclear response at large momentum
transfer in order to understand how scaling based on very different
descriptions of the elementary interaction can occur simultaneously. We find
that the approximate validity of -scaling at low energy loss arises from
the coincidental behavior of the quasielastic and deep inelastic cross
sections.Comment: 4 pages, 3 Postscript figure
Direct mapping of the finite temperature phase diagram of strongly correlated quantum models
Optical lattice experiments, with the unique potential of tuning interactions
and density, have emerged as emulators of nontrivial theoretical models that
are directly relevant for strongly correlated materials. However, so far the
finite temperature phase diagram has not been mapped out for any strongly
correlated quantum model. We propose a remarkable method for obtaining such a
phase diagram for the first time directly from experiments using only the
density profile in the trap as the input. We illustrate the procedure
explicitly for the Bose Hubbard model, a textbook example of a quantum phase
transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator. Using "exact" quantum Monte
Carlo simulations in a trap with up to bosons, we show that kinks in the
local compressibility, arising from critical fluctuations, demarcate the
boundaries between superfluid and normal phases in the trap. The temperature of
the bosons in the optical lattice is determined from the density profile at the
edge. Our method can be applied to other phase transitions even when reliable
numerical results are not available.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
Present state of power electronics circuitry and perspectives of its development
This paper is devoted mainly to the circuitry, because element base is a big independent issue. Let us say a few words about terminology. A modern converter can be rarely represented as a simple device like “rectifier”, “inverter” etc. It usually consists of the combination of several units, performing elementary functions. For such multistage units it makes sense to use a definition of converter “technology”, keeping in mind some actions with electric current for a certain purpose. It is similar to the step activities in chemistry: to take a substance, to heat it etc. After the formulation of a goal and a number of necessary actions it is possible to present a corresponding structure circuit. According to described above we tried to mention basic technologies used in modern power electronics. The perspectives of the electronics in the nearest future are connected with the further improvement of basic technologies, because their combination allows for developing new technologies. In our opinion, there are four such technologies.Стаття присвячена проблемам схемотехніки у сучасній енергетиці.

Quantum Critical Scaling in a Moderately Doped Antiferromagnet
Using high temperature expansions for the equal time correlator and
static susceptibility for the t-J model, we present evidence for
quantum critical (QC), , behavior at intermediate temperatures in a
broad range of ratio, doping, and temperatures. We find that the
dynamical susceptibility is very close to the universal scaling function
computable for the asymptotic QC regime, and that the dominant energy scale is
temperature. Our results are in excellent agreement with measurements of the
spin-echo decay rate, , in LaCuO, and provide qualitative
understanding of both and nuclear relaxation rates in
doped cuprates.Comment: 11 pages, REVTeX v3.0, PostScript file for 3 figures is attached,
UIUC-P-93-07-068. In this revised version, we calculate the scaling functions
and thus present new and more direct evidence in favor of our original
conclusion
Anomalous Spin Dynamics in Doped Quantum Antiferromagnets
Finite-temperature spin dynamics in planar t-J model is studied using the
method based on the Lanczos diagonalization of small systems. Dynamical spin
structure factor at moderate dopings shows the coexistence of free-fermion-like
and spin-fluctuation timescales. At T<J, the low-frequency and static
susceptibility show pronounced T dependence, supporting a scenario, related to
the marginal Fermi-liquid one, for the explanation of neutron-scattering and
NMR-relaxation experiments in cuprates. Calculated NMR relaxation rates
reasonably reproduce experimental ones.Comment: 10 pages + 4 figures, Postscript in uuencoded compressed tar file,

The new Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source - Design and Performance
The design and performance of the new Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer
(CNCS) at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge are described. CNCS is a
direct geometry inelastic time-of-flight spectrometer, designed to cover
essentially the same energy and momentum transfer ranges as IN5 at ILL, LET at
ISIS, DCS at NIST, TOFTOF at FRM2, AMATERAS at J-PARC, PHAROS at LANSCE and
NEAT at HZB, at similar energy resolution. Measured values of key figures such
as neutron flux at sample position and energy resolution are compared between
measurements and ray tracing Monte Carlo simulations, and good agreement
(better than 20% of absolute numbers) has been achieved. The instrument
performs very well in the cold and thermal neutron energy ranges, and promises
to become a workhorse for the neutron scattering community for quasielastic and
inelastic scattering experiments
Layer- and bulk roton excitations of 4He in porous media
We examine the energetics of bulk and layer-roton excitations of 4He in
various porous medial such as aerogel, Geltech, or Vycor, in order to find out
what conclusions can be drawn from experiments on the energetics about the
physisorption mechanism. The energy of the layer-roton minimum depends
sensitively on the substrate strength, thus providing a mechanism for a direct
measurement of this quantity. On the other hand, bulk-like roton excitations
are largely independent of the interaction between the medium and the helium
atoms, but the dependence of their energy on the degree of filling reflects the
internal structure of the matrix and can reveal features of 4He at negative
pressures. While bulk-like rotons are very similar to their true bulk
counterparts, the layer modes are not in close relation to two-dimensional
rotons and should be regarded as a third, completely independent kind of
excitation
Scaling Regimes, Crossovers, and Lattice Corrections in 2D Heisenberg Antiferromagnets
We study scaling behavior in 2D, S=1/2 and S=1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets
using the data on full q-dependences of the equal time structure factor and the
static susceptibility, calculated through high temperature expansions. We also
carry out comparisons with a model of two coupled S=1/2 planes with the
interlayer coupling tuned to the T=0 critical point. We separately determine
the spin-wave velocity c and mass , in addition to the correlation
length, , and find that c is temperature dependent; only for T\alt JS,
it approaches its known T=0 value . Despite this temperature dependent
spin-wave velocity, full q- and -dependences of the dynamical
susceptibility agree with the universal scaling functions
computable for the -model, for temperatures upto .
Detailed comparisons show that below the S=1 model is in the renormalized
classical (RC) regime, the two plane model is in the quantum critical (QC)
regime, and the S=1/2 model exhibits a RC-QC crossover, centered at T=0.55J. In
particular, for the S=1/2 model above this crossover and for the two-plane
model at all T, the spin-wave mass is in excellent agreement with the universal
QC prediction, . In contrast, for the S=1/2 model below the
RC-QC crossover, and for the S=1 model at all T, the behavior agrees with the
known RC expression. For all models nonuniversal behavior occurs above . Our results strongly support the conjecture of Chubukov and Sachdev
that the S=1/2 model is close to the T=0 critical point to exhibit QC behavior.Comment: 13 pages, REVTeX with attached PostScript (see file for addl info
