Effect of Preparation Conditions in the Pressure Range of Atmospheric Nitrogen (2 ... 50) 10-4 Torr on the Structural and Phase State of the Vacuum-Arc Coatings of Mo-N
Nanocrystalline vacuum-arc nitride coatings
possess the totality of unique structural states and
properties (high hardness, wear resistance, oxidation
stability, etc.). The coatings of the Mo-N system
show a high hardness and low solubility of
nonferromagnetic materials, thereby attracting great
interest in their industrial use. Unfortunately, at
present there is an apparent lack of information on the
regularities of phase-structural state formation in the
Mo-N system.

Energy level dynamics in systems with weakly multifractal eigenstates: equivalence to 1D correlated fermions
It is shown that the parametric spectral statistics in the critical random
matrix ensemble with multifractal eigenvector statistics are identical to the
statistics of correlated 1D fermions at finite temperatures. For weak
multifractality the effective temperature of fictitious 1D fermions is
proportional to (1-d_{n})/n, where d_{n} is the fractal dimension found from
the n-th moment of inverse participation ratio. For large energy and parameter
separations the fictitious fermions are described by the Luttinger liquid model
which follows from the Calogero-Sutherland model. The low-temperature
asymptotic form of the two-point equal-parameter spectral correlation function
is found for all energy separations and its relevance for the low temperature
equal-time density correlations in the Calogero-Sutherland model is
conjectured.Comment: 4 pages, Revtex, final journal versio
Effect of Ion Irradiation on the Structural State of the Vacuum-Arc Nitride Coatings
The effect of irradiation with ions Ar+ (energy of 1 MeV and 1.8 MeV) and He (energy of 0.6 MeV) on
the structure and mechanical properties of the vacuum-arc nitride coatings. It is shown that the level of
exposure to radiation materials can be divided into 3 classes: a) “the most persistent” - significant changes
occur only on the substructure level (as an example - multi-element system Ti-Zr-V-Hf-Nb-Ta-N), b) “the
medium resistance “- significant changes occur in the macro stress-strained state (as an example - the system
Ti-N), c) “structural variable” – significant changes in the macro-level and phase composition (as an
example, the system Mo-N).

Spectral Statistics: From Disordered to Chaotic Systems
The relation between disordered and chaotic systems is investigated. It is
obtained by identifying the diffusion operator of the disordered systems with
the Perron-Frobenius operator in the general case. This association enables us
to extend results obtained in the diffusive regime to general chaotic systems.
In particular, the two--point level density correlator and the structure factor
for general chaotic systems are calculated and characterized. The behavior of
the structure factor around the Heisenberg time is quantitatively described in
terms of short periodic orbits.Comment: uuencoded file with 1 eps figure, 4 page
Phase coherence phenomena in superconducting films
Superconducting films subject to an in-plane magnetic field exhibit a gapless
superconducting phase. We explore the quasi-particle spectral properties of the
gapless phase and comment on the transport properties. Of particular interest
is the sensitivity of the quantum interference phenomena in this phase to the
nature of the impurity scattering. We find that films subject to columnar
defects exhibit a `Berry-Robnik' symmetry which changes the fundamental
properties of the system. Furthermore, we explore the integrity of the gapped
phase. As in the magnetic impurity system, we show that optimal fluctuations of
the random impurity potential conspire with the in-plane magnetic field to
induce a band of localized sub-gap states. Finally, we investigate the
interplay of the proximity effect and gapless superconductivity in thin normal
metal-superconductor bi-layers.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures include
Multifractality and critical fluctuations at the Anderson transition
Critical fluctuations of wave functions and energy levels at the Anderson
transition are studied for the family of the critical power-law random banded
matrix ensembles. It is shown that the distribution functions of the inverse
participation ratios (IPR) are scale-invariant at the critical point,
with a power-law asymptotic tail. The IPR distribution, the multifractal
spectrum and the level statistics are calculated analytically in the limits of
weak and strong couplings, as well as numerically in the full range of
couplings.Comment: 14 pages, 13 eps figure
Spectral Correlations from the Metal to the Mobility Edge
We have studied numerically the spectral correlations in a metallic phase and
at the metal-insulator transition. We have calculated directly the two-point
correlation function of the density of states . In the metallic phase,
it is well described by the Random Matrix Theory (RMT). For the first time, we
also find numerically the diffusive corrections for the number variance
predicted by Al'tshuler and Shklovski\u{\i}. At the
transition, at small energy scales, starts linearly, with a slope
larger than in a metal. At large separations , it is found to
decrease as a power law with and , in good agreement with recent microscopic
predictions. At the transition, we have also calculated the form factor , Fourier transform of . At large , the number variance
contains two terms \tilde{K}(0)t \to 0$.Comment: 7 RevTex-pages, 10 figures. Submitted to PR
Universality of Parametric Spectral Correlations: Local versus Extended Perturbing Potentials
We explore the influence of an arbitrary external potential perturbation V on
the spectral properties of a weakly disordered conductor. In the framework of a
statistical field theory of a nonlinear sigma-model type we find, depending on
the range and the profile of the external perturbation, two qualitatively
different universal regimes of parametric spectral statistics (i.e.
cross-correlations between the spectra of Hamiltonians H and H+V). We identify
the translational invariance of the correlations in the space of Hamiltonians
as the key indicator of universality, and find the connection between the
coordinate system in this space which makes the translational invariance
manifest, and the physically measurable properties of the system. In
particular, in the case of localized perturbations, the latter turn out to be
the eigenphases of the scattering matrix for scattering off the perturbing
potential V. They also have a purely statistical interpretation in terms of the
moments of the level velocity distribution. Finally, on the basis of this
analysis, a set of results obtained recently by the authors using random matrix
theory methods is shown to be applicable to a much wider class of disordered
and chaotic structures.Comment: 16 pages, 7 eps figures (minor changes and reference [17] added
Ballistic electron motion in a random magnetic field
Using a new scheme of the derivation of the non-linear -model we
consider the electron motion in a random magnetic field (RMF) in two
dimensions. The derivation is based on writing quasiclassical equations and
representing their solutions in terms of a functional integral over
supermatrices with the constraint . Contrary to the standard scheme,
neither singling out slow modes nor saddle-point approximation are used. The
-model obtained is applicable at the length scale down to the electron
wavelength. We show that this model differs from the model with a random
potential (RP).However, after averaging over fluctuations in the Lyapunov
region the standard -model is obtained leading to the conventional
localization behavior.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, to be submitted in PRB v2: Section IV is

Ergodic properties of a generic non-integrable quantum many-body system in thermodynamic limit
We study a generic but simple non-integrable quantum {\em many-body} system
of {\em locally} interacting particles, namely a kicked model of spinless
fermions on 1-dim lattice (equivalent to a kicked Heisenberg XX-Z chain of 1/2
spins). Statistical properties of dynamics (quantum ergodicity and quantum
mixing) and the nature of quantum transport in {\em thermodynamic limit} are
considered as the kick parameters (which control the degree of
non-integrability) are varied. We find and demonstrate {\em ballistic}
transport and non-ergodic, non-mixing dynamics (implying infinite conductivity
at all temperatures) in the {\em integrable} regime of zero or very small kick
parameters, and more generally and important, also in {\em non-integrable}
regime of {\em intermediate} values of kicked parameters, whereas only for
sufficiently large kick parameters we recover quantum ergodicity and mixing
implying normal (diffusive) transport. We propose an order parameter (charge
stiffness ) which controls the phase transition from non-mixing/non-ergodic
dynamics (ordered phase, ) to mixing/ergodic dynamics (disordered phase,
D=0) in the thermodynamic limit. Furthermore, we find {\em exponential decay of
time-correlation function} in the regime of mixing dynamics.
The results are obtained consistently within three different numerical and
analytical approaches: (i) time evolution of a finite system and direct
computation of time correlation functions, (ii) full diagonalization of finite
systems and statistical analysis of stationary data, and (iii) algebraic
construction of quantum invariants of motion of an infinite system, in
particular the time averaged observables.Comment: 18 pages in REVTeX with 14 eps figures included, Submitted to
