The effective diffusion coefficient in a one-dimensional discrete lattice with the inclusions

2015

Abstract The expression for the effective diffusion coefficient in one-dimensional discrete lattice model of random walks in matrix with inclusions and unequal hopping lengths is derived. This allowed us to suggest a physical interpretation to the concentration jump – ad hoc parameter commonly used in extended effective medium theory for accounting particle partial reflection on the boundary matrix–inclusion. The analytical results obtained are in excellent agreement with computer simulations.

Calculated Line Broadening Coefficients in the nu2 Band of CH3D Perturbed by Helium

2003

International audience; Line broadening coefficients have been calculated, at room temperature, for lines in the P and R branches of the nu2 band of monodeuterated methane. A properly symmetrized semiclassical model with parabolic relative trajectories has been used. Two interaction potential models have been considered. The first is a Lennard-Jones type atom-atom potential, while the second one was derived from ab initio calculations. The calculated line widths were compared to the available experimental data and a satisfactory agreement was found, although the model contains no other adjustable parameters than the four atomic Lennard-Jones ones. Nonetheless, failures of calculations have …

Attenuation of the fourth sound in liquid helium II via extended thermodynamics

2004

Abstract This work continues a study begun in previous works, where a non-standard model of liquid helium II is proposed, in which a small entropy transfer is associated with the superfluid component. In this work the influence of this superfluid entropy on the propagation of the fourth sound is analyzed. From experimental data for velocities and attenuations of the first and second sound, the model provides speed and attenuation coefficient of the fourth sound in a porous medium as a function of the ratio ss/s between the superfluid entropy ss and the total entropy s. These values are determined in the two limiting cases ss/s=0 and =0.02, for various values of temperature and pressure.

Monte Carlo calculation of dose rate distributions around 192Ir wires.

1997

Monte Carlo calculations of absolute dose rate in liquid water are presented in the form of away-along tables for 1 and 5 cm 192 Ir wires of 0.3 mm diameter. Simulated absolute dose rate values can be used as benchmark data to verify the calculation results of treatment planning systems or directly as input data for treatment planning. Best fit value of attenuation coefficient suitable for use in Sievert-integrals-type calculations has been derived based on Monte Carlo calculation results. For the treatment planning systems that are based on TG43 formalism we have also calculated the required dosimetry parameters.

Temperature and pressure dependence of the optical absorption in hexagonal MnTe

2000

The absorption edge of hexagonal (NiAs structure) antiferromagnetic MnTe has been measured by means of light transmission experiments carried out at different temperatures in the range 16--420 K $(P=1\mathrm{bar})$ and hydrostatic pressures up to 9 GPa $(T=295\mathrm{K}).$ An indirect band gap has been found, in agreement with previous band-structure calculations, with an energy of ${E}_{\mathrm{ig}}=1.272\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013\mathrm{eV}$ at room temperature and pressure. The temperature dependence of the absorption edge is linear above the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{N}=310\mathrm{K},$ with a temperature coefficient $dE/dT=\ensuremath{-}(3.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1)\ifmmode…

Effect of Topological Structure and Coupling Strength in Weighted Multiplex Networks

2018

Algebraic connectivity (second smallest eigenvalue of the supra-Laplacian matrix of the underlying multilayer network) and inter-layer coupling strength play an important role in the diffusion processes on the multiplex networks. In this work, we study the effect of inter-layer coupling strength, topological structure on algebraic connectivity in weighted multiplex networks. The results show a remarkable transition in the value of algebraic connectivity from classical cases where the inter-layer coupling strength is homogeneous. We investigate various topological structures in multiplex networks using configuration model, the Barabasi-Albert model (BA) and empirical data-set of multiplex ne…

Independent friction-restitution approach to analyze anomalies in normal kinematic restitution in oblique impact

2021

Abstract Oblique impact between rigid bodies is usually described in terms of the coefficients of normal and tangential restitution. When the contact between bodies occurs under elasto-plastic conditions, the normal coefficient of restitution can be ordinarily taken as essentially constant. Several anomalous results reported by Louge and Adams (Anomalous behavior of normal kinematic restitution in the oblique impacts of a hard sphere on an elasto-plastic plate. Phys. Rev. E 65 (2002) 021303), however denoted a significant variation of this coefficient with the incidence angle under certain conditions. This anomalous behavior is interpreted here within the independent friction and restitutio…

Electronic States in Mesoscopic Systems

1992

Abstract Electronic states in disordered systems are studied within the Anderson model of localization. By means of the Green's function technique we derive the transmission coefficient for electronic states through mesoscopic samples. The transmission coefficient is shown to be not self-averaging due to strong spatial fluctuations of the amplitude of the eigenstates, which are obtained by direct diagonalization of the respective secular matrices. The wave functions display a multifractal behaviour, characterized by the set of generalized fractal dimensions and the singularity spectrum of the fractal measure.

On the Accuracy of the Backward Hemispheric Integrating Nephelometer

1976

Abstract Modified integrating nephelometers are used to measure backward hemispheric scattering coefficients together with total scattering coefficients. These parameters yield information about the chemical nature of the aerosol particles in certain situations involving relatively pure compounds. They are also used as input parameters in climatic models. In this study the effects of the three angular truncations in the modified integrating nephelometers are investigated. We provide a quantitative base to be used with these instruments to determine hemispheric backscatter of aerosol particles and its relationship to the total scattering coefficient.

Properties of the 13/2+ isomeric decay in201Hg

1990

The isomeric decay of theT1/2=94 us isomeric state in201Hg was studied in beam via the reaction198Pt(α, n). Gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectra were recorded. From the conversion coefficients, the multipolarities of the two depopulating transitions were determined to beM 2 + 10%E 3 andE 2, respectively. These assignments give the depopulating transitions to be 13/2+ → 9/2− and 9/2− → 5/2−, and these thus substantiate the previous suggestion that the isomeric state hasJπ=13/2+. For the 13/2+ → 9/2−M 2 transition a detailed study ofE 3 andM 4 admixed amplitudes was done. The microscopic properties of the 13/2+ and 9/2− states are discussed, and a comparison to the corresponding ones in1…
