Application of laser diodes and photodetectors on multiple-quantum wells at the hot-metal pyrometry
In the paper,the method of relative spectroreflectometry at using the infra-red photodetectors with a wide diapason of the spectral photosensitivity is suggested.Methodical errors at exponential and power dependencies of the emissivity of an object on the wavelength are analysed. Possible design of a pyrometer for measurements of temperature of hot metals is described and attractiveness of quantum-well laser diodes and superlattice photodetectors based on the GaSb compounds is discussed. Keywords: pyrometry, spectroreflectometry, near-infrared range, photodetector, laser diode, methodical erro
Stationary axisymmetric solutions of five dimensional gravity
We consider stationary axisymmetric solutions of general relativity that
asymptote to five dimensional Minkowski space. It is known that this system has
a hidden SL(3,R) symmetry. We identify an SO(2,1) subgroup of this symmetry
group that preserves the asymptotic boundary conditions. We show that the
action of this subgroup on a static solution generates a one-parameter family
of stationary solutions carrying angular momentum. We conjecture that by
repeated applications of this procedure one can generate all stationary
axisymmetric solutions starting from static ones. As an example, we derive the
Myers-Perry black hole starting from the Schwarzschild solution in five
dimensions.Comment: 31 pages, LaTeX; references adde
Single-charge rotating black holes in four-dimensional gauged supergravity
We consider four-dimensional U(1)^4 gauged supergravity, and obtain
asymptotically AdS_4, non-extremal, charged, rotating black holes with one
non-zero U(1) charge. The thermodynamic quantities are computed. We obtain a
generalization that includes a NUT parameter. The general solution has a
discrete symmetry involving inversion of the rotation parameter, and has a
string frame metric that admits a rank-2 Killing-Stackel tensor.Comment: 9 page
Many-Body Approximations in the sd-Shell Sandbox
A new theoretical approach is presented that combines the Hartree-Fock
variational scheme with the exact solution of the pairing problem in the finite
orbital space. Using this formulation in the sd-space as an example, we show
that the exact pairing significantly improves the results for the ground state

Nuclear Schiff moment in nuclei with soft octupole and quadrupole vibrations
Nuclear forces violating parity and time reversal invariance (-odd) produce -odd nuclear moments, for example, the
nuclear Schiff moment. In turn, this moment can induce the electric dipole
moment in the atom. The nuclear Schiff moment is predicted to be enhanced in
nuclei with static quadrupole and octupole deformation. The analogous
suggestion of the enhanced contribution to the Schiff moment from the soft
collective quadrupole and octupole vibrations in spherical nuclei is tested in
this article in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation
with separable quadrupole and octupole forces applied to the odd Ra
and Rn isotopes. We confirm the existence of the enhancement effect
due to the soft modes. However, in the standard approximation the enhancement
is strongly reduced by a small weight of the corresponding "particle + phonon"
component in a complicated wave function of a soft nucleus. The perspectives of
a better description of the structure of heavy soft nuclei are discussed.Comment: 27 pages, 3 figures, minor corrections in references adde
Near-horizon symmetries of extremal black holes
Recent work has demonstrated an attractor mechanism for extremal rotating
black holes subject to the assumption of a near-horizon SO(2,1) symmetry. We
prove the existence of this symmetry for any extremal black hole with the same
number of rotational symmetries as known four and five dimensional solutions
(including black rings). The result is valid for a general two-derivative
theory of gravity coupled to abelian vectors and uncharged scalars, allowing
for a non-trivial scalar potential. We prove that it remains valid in the
presence of higher-derivative corrections. We show that SO(2,1)-symmetric
near-horizon solutions can be analytically continued to give SU(2)-symmetric
black hole solutions. For example, the near-horizon limit of an extremal 5D
Myers-Perry black hole is related by analytic continuation to a non-extremal
cohomogeneity-1 Myers-Perry solution.Comment: 21 pages, latex. v2: minor improvements v3: Corrected error in

P- and T-violating Schiff moment of the Mercury nucleus
The Schiff moment of the Hg nucleus was calculated using finite range
P- and T-violating weak nucleon-nucleon interaction. Effects of the core
polarization were considered in the framework of RPA with effective residual
forces.Comment: 10 pages and 2 figures,to appear in Yad. Fi
Reduction without reduction: Adding KK-monopoles to five dimensional stationary axisymmetric solutions
We present a general method to add KK-monopole charge to any asymptotically
flat stationary axisymmetric solution of five dimensional General Relativity.
The technique exploits the underlying SL(3,R) invariance of the system by
identifying a particular element of the symmetry group which changes the
asymptotic boundary condition and adds KK-monopole charge. Furthermore, we
develop a set of technical tools which allow us to apply the SL(3,R)
transformations to solutions produced by the Inverse Scattering method. As an
example of our methods, we construct the exact solution describing a static
black ring carrying KK-monopole charge.Comment: 36 pages, 3 figures, LaTeX, minor typos fixe
