New sum rules for nucleon and trinucleon total photoproduction cross-sections
Two new sum rules are derived relating Dirac radii and anomalous magnetic
moments of the considered strongly interacting fermions with the convergent
integral over a difference of the total proton and neutron, as well as
and , photoproduction cross-sections.Comment: 1 eps figure. Contribution presented at the PHOTON'03, April 7-11,

New Mechanism of Magnetoresistance in Bulk Semiconductors: Boundary Condition Effects
We consider the electronic transport in bounded semiconductors in the
presence of an external magnetic field. Taking into account appropriate
boundary conditions for the current density at the contacts, a change in the
magnetoresistance of bulk semiconductors is found as compared with the usual
theory of galvanomagnetic effects in boundless media. New mechanism in
magnetoresistance connected with the boundary conditions arises. In particular,
even when the relaxation time is independent of the electron energy,
magnetoresistance is not vanish.Comment: 7 pages, Elsart macro package (LaTeX2e edition
Coulomb scattering of quantum dipoles in QED
We calculate the total scattering cross-section of a dynamical quantum
electrically neutral dipole in QED of the infinitely heavy charge and of the
infinitely heavy dipole in the leading order in electromagnetic coupling
constant.Comment: 7 pages, no figure
Electron Beam Instability in Left-Handed Media
We predict that two electron beams can develop an instability when passing
through a slab of left-handed media (LHM). This instability, which is inherent
only for LHM, originates from the backward Cherenkov radiation and results in a
self-modulation of the beams and radiation of electromagnetic waves. These
waves leave the sample via the rear surface of the slab (the beam injection
plane) and form two shifted bright circles centered at the beams. A simulated
spectrum of radiation has well-separated lines on top of a broad continuous
spectrum, which indicates dynamical chaos in the system. The radiation
intensity and its spectrum can be controlled either by the beams' current or by
the distance between the two beams.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Collective modes for an array of magnetic dots in the vortex state
The dispersion relations for collective magnon modes for square-planar arrays
of vortex-state magnetic dots, having closure magnetic flux are calculated. The
array dots have no direct contact between each other, and the sole source of
their interaction is the magnetic dipolar interaction. The magnon formalism
using Bose operators along with translational symmetry of the lattice, with the
knowledge of mode structure for the isolated dot, allows the diagonalization of
the system Hamiltonian giving the dispersion relation. Arrays of vortex-state
dots show a large variety of collective mode properties, such as positive or
negative dispersion for different modes. For their description, not only
dipolar interaction of effective magnetic dipoles, but non-dipolar terms common
to higher multipole interaction in classical electrodynamics can be important.
The dispersion relation is shown to be non-analytic as the value of the
wavevector approaches zero for all dipolar active modes of the single dot. For
vortex-state dots the interdot interaction is not weak, because, the dynamical
part (in contrast to the static magnetization of the vortex state) dot does not
contain the small parameter, the ratio of vortex core size to the dot radius.
This interaction can lead to qualitative effects like the formation of modes of
angular standing waves instead of modes with definite azimuthal number known
for the insolated vortex state dot
Mechanical losses in low loss materials studied by Cryogenic Resonant Acoustic spectroscopy of bulk materials (CRA spectroscopy)
Mechanical losses of crystalline silicon and calcium fluoride have been
analyzed in the temperature range from 5 to 300 K by our novel mechanical
spectroscopy method, cryogenic resonant acoustic spectroscopy of bulk materials
(CRA spectrocopy). The focus lies on the interpretation of the measured data
according to phonon-phonon interactions and defect induced losses in
consideration of the excited mode shape.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, proceedings of the PHONONS 2007, submitted to

Attenuation of acoustic waves in glacial ice and salt domes
Two classes of natural solid media (glacial ice and salt domes) are under
consideration as media in which to deploy instruments for detection of
neutrinos with energy >1e18 eV. Though insensitive to 1e11 to 1e16 eV neutrinos
for which observatories (e.g., AMANDA and IceCube) that utilize optical
Cherenkov radiation detectors are designed, radio and acoustic methods are
suited for searches for the very low fluxes of neutrinos with energies >1017
eV. This is because, due to the very long attenuation lengths of radio and
acoustic waves in ice and salt, detection modules can be spaced very far apart.
In this paper, I calculate the absorption and scattering coefficients as a
function of frequency and grain size for acoustic waves in glacial ice and salt
domes and show that experimental measurements on laboratory samples and in
glacial ice and salt domes are consistent with theory. For South Pole ice with
grain size 0.2 cm at -51 degrees C, scattering lengths are calculated to be
2000 km and 25 km at 10 kHz and 30 kHz, respectively, and the absorption length
is calculated to be 9 km at frequencies above 100 Hz. For NaCl (rock salt) with
grain size 0.75 cm, scattering lengths are calculated to be 120 km and 1.4 km
at 10 kHz and 30 kHz, and absorption lengths are calculated to be 30,000 km and
3300 km at 10 kHz and 30 kHz. Existing measurements are consistent with theory.
For ice, absorption is the limiting factor; for salt, scattering is the
limiting factor.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Journal of Geophysical Research -

Space-Time Evolution of the Oscillator, Rapidly moving in a random media
We study the quantum-mechanical evolution of the nonrelativistic oscillator,
rapidly moving in the media with the random vector fields. We calculate the
evolution of the level probability distribution as a function of time, and
obtain rapid level diffusion over the energy levels. Our results imply a new
mechanism of charmonium dissociation in QCD media.Comment: 32 pages, 13 figure
Unitary dimension reduction for a class of self-adjoint extensions with applications to graph-like structures
We consider a class of self-adjoint extensions using the boundary triple
technique. Assuming that the associated Weyl function has the special form
M(z)=\big(m(z)\Id-T\big) n(z)^{-1} with a bounded self-adjoint operator
and scalar functions we show that there exists a class of boundary
conditions such that the spectral problem for the associated self-adjoint
extensions in gaps of a certain reference operator admits a unitary reduction
to the spectral problem for . As a motivating example we consider
differential operators on equilateral metric graphs, and we describe a class of
boundary conditions that admit a unitary reduction to generalized discrete
laplacians.Comment: 19 page
