Gamow-Teller strength distributions for double-beta-decaying nuclei within continuum-QRPA

A version of the pn-continuum-QRPA is outlined and applied to describe the Gamow-Teller strength distributions for $\beta\beta$-decaying open-shell nuclei. The calculation results obtained for the pairs of nuclei $^{116}$Cd-Sn and $^{130}$Te-Xe are compared with available experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, To appear in the proceedings of "Nucleus-2007: Fundamental problems of nuclear physics, atomic power engineering and nuclear technologies" Voronezh, Russia, June 25-29, 200

Structure and magnetic properties of mechanically alloyed Fe3-xAlCrx powders

Mixtures of elemental powders of Fe3-xAlCrx composition, where x ∈ (0.8 -1.2) were mechanically alloyed in the AGO-2U planetary ball mill. Obtained powders consist of particles with median size of 0.5-1.6 µm; increase in the Cr content results in the decrease in the size of particles. According to the X-ray data, all of the as-milled alloys possess a single-phase disordered b.c.c. structure. Increase in Cr content results in the decrease in the grain size of alloys, whereas the dependence of the lattice parameter on the chemical composition is not conclusive. Mössbauer spectra for most of the alloys shows that iron atoms in this alloys, in spite of the fact that only one phase was detected using the X-ray diffraction, exist both in ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic conditions

New insight into the low-energy 9^9He spectrum

The spectrum of $^9$He was studied by means of the $^8$He($d$,$p$)$^9$He reaction at a lab energy of 25 MeV/n and small center of mass (c.m.) angles. Energy and angular correlations were obtained for the $^9$He decay products by complete kinematical reconstruction. The data do not show narrow states at $\sim$1.3 and $\sim$2.4 MeV reported before for $^9$He. The lowest resonant state of $^9$He is found at about 2 MeV with a width of $\sim$2 MeV and is identified as $1/2^-$. The observed angular correlation pattern is uniquely explained by the interference of the $1/2^-$ resonance with a virtual state $1/2^+$ (limit on the scattering length is obtained as $a > -20$ fm), and with the $5/2^+$ resonance at energy $\geq 4.2$ MeV.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 2 table

Theory of superfast fronts of impact ionization in semiconductor structures

We present an analytical theory for impact ionization fronts in reversely biased p^{+}-n-n^{+} structures. The front propagates into a depleted n base with a velocity that exceeds the saturated drift velocity. The front passage generates a dense electron-hole plasma and in this way switches the structure from low to high conductivity. For a planar front we determine the concentration of the generated plasma, the maximum electric field, the front width and the voltage over the n base as functions of front velocity and doping of the n base. Theory takes into account that drift velocities and impact ionization coefficients differ between electrons and holes, and it makes quantitative predictions for any semiconductor material possible.Comment: 18 pagers, 10 figure

Physically Realistic Solutions to the Ernst Equation on Hyperelliptic Riemann Surfaces

We show that the class of hyperelliptic solutions to the Ernst equation (the stationary axisymmetric Einstein equations in vacuum) previously discovered by Korotkin and Neugebauer and Meinel can be derived via Riemann-Hilbert techniques. The present paper extends the discussion of the physical properties of these solutions that was begun in a Physical Review Letter, and supplies complete proofs. We identify a physically interesting subclass where the Ernst potential is everywhere regular except at a closed surface which might be identified with the surface of a body of revolution. The corresponding spacetimes are asymptotically flat and equatorially symmetric. This suggests that they could describe the exterior of an isolated body, for instance a relativistic star or a galaxy. Within this class, one has the freedom to specify a real function and a set of complex parameters which can possibly be used to solve certain boundary value problems for the Ernst equation. The solutions can have ergoregions, a Minkowskian limit and an ultrarelativistic limit where the metric approaches the extreme Kerr solution. We give explicit formulae for the potential on the axis and in the equatorial plane where the expressions simplify. Special attention is paid to the simplest non-static solutions (which are of genus two) to which the rigidly rotating dust disk belongs.Comment: 32 pages, 2 figures, uses pstricks.sty, updated version (October 7, 1998), to appear in Phys.
