Domain wall effects in ferromagnet-superconductor structures
We investigate how domain structure of the ferromagnet in
superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructures may change their transport
properties. We calculate the distribution of current in the superconductor
induced by magnetic field of Bloch domain walls, find the ``lower critical''
magnetization of the ferromagnet that provides vortices in the superconductor
Nonsinusoidal current-phase relations and the transition in diffusive ferromagnetic Josephson junctions
We study the effect of the interfacial transparency on the Josephson current
in a diffusive ferromagnetic contact between two superconductors. In contrast
to the cases of the fully transparent and the low-transparency interfaces, the
current-phase relation is shown to be nonsinusoidal for a finite transparency.
It is demonstrated that even for the nearly fully transparent interfaces the
small corrections due to weak interfacial disorders contribute a small
second-harmonic component in the current-phase relation. For a certain
thicknesses of the ferromagnetic contact and the exchange field this can lead
to a tiny minimum supercurrent at the crossover between 0 and states of
the junction. Our theory has a satisfactory agreement with the recent
experiments in which a finite supercurrent was observed at the transition
temperature. We further explain the possibility for observation of a large
residual supercurrent if the interfaces have an intermediate transparency.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Quantal Two-Centre Coulomb Problem treated by means of the Phase-Integral Method II. Quantization Conditions in the Symmetric Case Expressed in Terms of Complete Elliptic Integrals. Numerical Illustration
The contour integrals, occurring in the arbitrary-order phase-integral
quantization conditions given in a previous paper, are in the first- and
third-order approximations expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals in
the case that the charges of the Coulomb centres are equal. The evaluation of
the integrals is facilitated by the knowledge of quasiclassical dynamics. The
resulting quantization conditions involving complete elliptic integrals are
solved numerically to obtain the energy eigenvalues and the separation
constants of the and states of the hydrogen molecule ion
for various values of the internuclear distance. The accuracy of the formulas
obtained is illustrated by comparison with available numerically exact results.Comment: 19 pages, RevTeX 4, 4 EPS figures, submitted to J. Math. Phy
QED calculation of the 2p3/2-2p1/2 transition energy in five-electron ion of argon
We perform ab initio QED calculation of the (1s)^2(2s)^22p_{3/2} -
(1s)^2(2s)^22p_{1/2} transition energy in the five-electron ion of argon. The
calculation is carried out by perturbation theory starting with an effective
screening potential approximation. Four different types of the screening
potentials are considered. The rigorous QED calculations of the two
lowest-order QED and electron-correlation effects are combined with approximate
evaluations of the third- and higher-order electron-correlation contributions.
The theoretical value for the wavelength obtained amounts to 441.261(70) (nm,
air) and perfectly agrees with the experimental one, 441.2559(1) (nm, air).Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Fronts in passive scalar turbulence
The evolution of scalar fields transported by turbulent flow is characterized
by the presence of fronts, which rule the small-scale statistics of scalar
fluctuations. With the aid of numerical simulations, it is shown that: isotropy
is not recovered, in the classical sense, at small scales; scaling exponents
are universal with respect to the scalar injection mechanisms; high-order
exponents saturate to a constant value; non-mature fronts dominate the
statistics of intense fluctuations. Results on the statistics inside the
plateaux, where fluctuations are weak, are also presented. Finally, we analyze
the statistics of scalar dissipation and scalar fluxes.Comment: 18 pages, 27 figure
Rho primes in analyzing e+e- annihilation, MARK III, LASS and ARGUS data
The results of an analysis are presented of some recent data on the reactions

, upon taking into account both the strong energy
dependence of the partial widths on energy and the previously neglected mixing
of the type resonances. The above effects are shown to exert an
essential influence on the specific values of masses and coupling constants of
heavy resonances and hence are necessary to be accounted for in establishing
their true nature.Comment: 20 pages, ReVTeX, 9 Postscript figures As compared to hep-ph/9607398,

Estimation of composition of cosmic rays with E sub zero approximately equals 10(17) - 10(18) eV
Fluctuations of the shower maximum depth obtained from analysis of electron and muon fluctuations and the extensive air showers (EAS) Cerenkov light on the Yakutsk array data and data of other arrays are considered. On the basis of these the estimation of composition of primaries with E sub 0 = 5.10 to the 17th power eV is received. Estimation of gamma-quanta flux with E sub 0 10 to the 17th power eV is given on the poor-muon showers
An ab-initio study of the electron-phonon coupling within a Cr(001)-surface
It is experimentally well established that the Cr(001)-surface exhibits a
sharp resonance around the Fermi level. However, there is no consensus about
its physical origin. It is proposed to be either due to a single particle dz2
surface state renormalised by electron-phonon coupling or the orbital Kondo
effect involving the degenerate dxz/dyz states. In this work we examine the
electron-phonon coupling of the Cr(001)-surface by means of ab-initio
calculations in the form of density functional perturbation theory. More
precisely, the electron-phonon mass-enhancement factor of the surface layer is
investigated for the 3d states. For the majority and minority spin dz2 surface
states we find values of 0.19 and 0.16. We show that these calculated
electron-phonon mass-enhancement factors are not in agreement with the
experimental data even if we use realistic values for the temperature range and
surface Debye frequency for the fit of the experimental data. More precisely,
then experimentally an electron-phonon mass-enhancement factor of 0.70~0.10 is
obtained, which is not in agreement with our calculated values of 0.19 and
0.16. Therefore, we conclude that the experimentally observed resonance at the
Cr(001)-surface is not due to polaronic effects, but due to electron-electron
correlation effects
The Quark-Gluon Plasma Equation of State and The Generalized Uncertainty Principle
The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) equation of state within a minimal length
scenario or Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) is studied. The Generalized
Uncertainty Principle is implemented on deriving the thermodynamics of ideal
QGP at a vanishing chemical potential. We find a significant effect for the GUP
term. The main features of QCD lattice results were quantitatively achieved in
case of , and flavors for the energy density,
the pressure and the interaction measure. The exciting point is the large value
of bag pressure especially in case of flavor which reflects the
strong correlation between quarks in this bag which is already expected. One
can notice that, the asymptotic behavior which is characterized by
Stephan-Boltzmann limit would be satisfied.Comment: 9 Pages, 8 figure
