Tangled nonlinear driven chain reactions of all optical singularities
Dynamics of polarization optical singularities chain reactions in generic
elliptically polarized speckle fields created in photorefractive crystal LiNbO3
was investigated in details Induced speckle field develops in the tens of
minutes scale due to photorefractive 'optical damage effect' induced by
incident beam of He-Ne laser. It was shown that polarization singularities
develop through topological chain reactions of developing speckle fields driven
by photorefractive nonlinearities induced by incident laser beam. All optical
singularities (C points, optical vortices, optical diabolos,) are defined by
instantaneous topological structure of the output wavefront and are tangled by
singular optics lows. Therefore, they have develop in tangled way by six
topological chain reactions driven by nonlinear processes in used nonlinear
medium (photorefractive LiNbO3:Fe in our case): C-points and optical diabolos
for right (left) polarized components domains with orthogonally left (right)
polarized optical vortices underlying them. All elements of chain reactions
consist from loop and chain links when nucleated singularities annihilated
directly or with alien singularities in 1:9 ratio. The topological reason of
statistics was established by low probability of far enough separation of born
singularities pair from existing neighbor singularities during loop
trajectories. Topology of developing speckle field was measured and analyzed by
dynamic stokes polarimetry with few seconds' resolution. The hierarchy of
singularities govern scenario of tangled chain reactions was defined. The
useful space-time data about peculiarities of optical damage evolution were
obtained from existence and parameters of 'islands of stability' in developing
speckle fields.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figure
On the stability problem in the O(N) nonlinear sigma model
The stability problem for the O(N) nonlinear sigma model in the 2+\epsilon
dimensions is considered. We present the results of the 1/N^{2} order
calculations of the critical exponents (in the 2<d<4 dimensions) of the
composite operators relevant for this problem. The arguments in the favor of
the scenario with the conventional fixed point are given.Comment: 9 pages, revtex, 1 Postscript figur
Room temperature midinfrared electroluminescence from GaInAsSbP light emitting diodes. .
Room temperature electroluminescence in the midinfrared near 4 µm is reported from GaInAsSbP light emitting diodes grown on GaSb by liquid phase epitaxy. Comparison of the electro- and photoluminescence revealed that light is generated on the p side of the diode. The energy shift (24 meV) is consistent with band gap narrowing and recombination via band tail states due to the Zn doping (1×1018 cm−3) in the p layer of the structure. The temperature dependent behavior of the luminescence and the improved emission intensity was attributed to recombination from localized states arising from electrostatic potential fluctuations due to compositional inhomogeneities in these alloys
Renormalization-group approach to the stochastic Navier--Stokes equation: Two-loop approximation
The field theoretic renormalization group is applied to the stochastic
Navier--Stokes equation that describes fully developed fluid turbulence. The
complete two-loop calculation of the renormalization constant, the
function, the fixed point and the ultraviolet correction exponent is performed.
The Kolmogorov constant and the inertial-range skewness factor, derived to
second order of the \eps expansion, are in a good agreement with the
experiment. The possibility of the extrapolation of the \eps expansion beyond
the threshold where the sweeping effects become important is demonstrated on
the example of a Galilean-invariant quantity, the equal-time pair correlation
function of the velocity field. The extension to the -dimensional case is
briefly discussed.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
O(1/N_f) Corrections to the Thirring Model in 2<d<4
The Thirring model, that is, a relativistic field theory of fermions with a
contact interaction between vector currents, is studied for dimensionalities
2<d<4 using the 1/N_f expansion, where N_f is the number of fermion species.
The model is found to have no ultraviolet divergences at leading order provided
a regularization respecting current conservation is used. Explicit O(1/N_f)
corrections are computed, and the model shown to be renormalizable at this
order in the massless limit; renormalizability appears to hold to all orders
due to a special case of Weinberg's theorem. This implies there is a universal
amplitude for four particle scattering in the asymptotic regime. Comparisons
are made with both the Gross-Neveu model and QED.Comment: 22 pages in plain TeX, with 7 figs included using psfig.tex (Minor

Peculiarities of asphaltene precipitation in n-alkane-oil systems
n-Pentane-, n-hexane-, and n-heptane-insoluble asphaltenes obtained via a standard procedure by precipitating from oil solutions in n-pentane, n-hexane, and n-heptane, respectively, as well as n-pen-tane/n-hexane/n-heptane-insoluble and n-heptane/n-hexane/n-pentane-insoluble asphaltene constituents prepared through successive washing (fractional dissolution) of n-pentane-insoluble asphaltenes with n-hex-ane and n-heptane and n-heptane-insoluble asphaltenes with n-hexane and n-pentane, respectively, are stud-ied. Asphaltenes and their constituents extracted from three oils distinguished by high contents of asphalt-enes, resins, and paraffins, respectively, are investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy in carbon tetrachloride solutions. It is established that the mass fractions and the fragment compositions of asphaltenes and their constituents depend on both the type of oil and the procedure of their preparation; i.e., the precipitation from n-alkane-oil systems or the extraction through the successive washing with a series of n-alkanes. The obtained experimental data made it possible to formulate a hypothesis according to which the precipitation of asphaltenes from oils is controlled by not only the dissolving power of a solvent with respect to molecular components of initial oils, but also (and primarily) by the dissolving power of a solvent with respect to supramolecular structures of asphaltenes formed in n-alkane-oil systems. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
Cooperative Emission from an Ensemble of Three-Level Λ Radiators in a Cavity:An Insight from the Viewpoint of Dynamics of Nonlinear Systems
Cooperative radiation emitted by an ensemble of three-level optical systems with a doublet in the ground state (Λ scheme), which is placed into a cyclic cavity, is studied theoretically. In contrast to the twolevel model of emitters, this process with such a configuration of operating transitions may occur without population inversion in the whole, if the doublet is prepared at the initial instant in a superposition (coherent) state. In the ideal case of a Hamilton system, in which the cavity losses and relaxation in the radiator ensemble are disregarded, the conservation laws are derived, which allow a substantial reduction of the dimension of the phase space of the model (ℝ11 → ℝ5) and the application of methods of dynamics of nonlinear systems for analyzing the three-level superradiance under these conditions. The possibility of different (both quasiperiodic and chaotic) scenarios of the three-level superradiance is demonstrated on the basis of Poincaré’s mappings. Global bifurcation of the system upon a transition from the conventional superradiance regime to inversionless one is revealed. The effects of cavity losses, as well as homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening in the system of radiators on the regularities found are also discussed
SPECIAL STRATEGY OF TREATMENT OF DIFFICULTY-PROFILE CONICAL SCREW SURFACES OF SINGLE-SCREW COMPRESSORS WORKING BODIES
The article deals with the problems arising during the shaping of complex profile tapered helical surfaces. These surfaces form the geometry of the working bodies of single-screw miniature compressors, which have great prospects for use in mobile miniature compressor plants, which is especially important for medical and space technology, robotics, oil and gas and mining industries. Due to the fact that the capabilities of existing CAD systems do not allow obtaining three-dimensional models of these surfaces, the problem of preparing a control program for a CNC machine arises, since the calculation of the tool path in CAM systems when processing complex surfaces is impossible without a three-dimensional surface model. To solve the problem, an automated programming system was developed that implements a formalized toolpath calculation in accordance with the proposed special processing strategy for conical helical surfaces. As the initial data for calculating the toolpath, the system needs information about the tool geometry and the helical surface in a parametric form, which makes it possible to abandon the construction of a three-dimensional surface model. The results of processing prototypes for the proposed strategy are given
