New Neutron-Rich Nuclei and Isomers Produced in Symmetric Fisson

1990

The novel method for rapid on-line mass separation, the IGISOL, is described. The method has been shown applicable to mass separation of short-lived proton-induced fission products without any chemical dependence on radionuclide. Recent results on isomeric states with half-lives of the order of milliseconds produced directly in proton-induced fission of 238U and separated with the IGISOL are presented. The future plans for connection of the new K-130 cyclotron of the University of Jyvaskyla with the IGISOL are reviewed.

Spectroscopy of XY3Z (C3v) molecules: A tensorial formalism adapted to the O(3)⊃C∞v⊃C3v group chain

2005

Abstract A tensorial formalism adapted to the case of XY3Z symmetric tops has been developed. We use the O (3) ⊃ C∞v ⊃ C3v group chain. All the coupling coefficients and formulas for the computation of the matrix elements are given for this chain. Such relations are also deduced in C3v group itself.

Core Polarizabilities in Metals

1982

Linear response formalism within the density-functional scheme is applied in a calculation of core polarizabilities in simple metals. While the core polarizability changes relatively little (around 10%) from its free-ion value in the alkalis, Mg and Al, large increases are found for metals like Ga, Cd, In, and Sn with full d-shells. Low-frequency values for the dynamic polarizability are also obtained.

Presymplectic manifolds and conservation laws

2008

In this paper we make use of a new structure called seeded fibre bundle. This allows us to combine the symplectic formalism and general relativity. A theorem of existence is obtained and some examples and properties are studied.

Two-Quasiparticle Mixing by the QRPA

2007

In the previous two chapters we introduced two-quasiparticle configuration mixing. The method was based on the QTDA. In this chapter we extend the formalism to the QRPA. We derive the QRPA equations by the equations-ofmotion method. Due to approximations in the derivation the resulting equations do not satisfy a variational principle. The properties of QRPA solutions are similar to those of the particle-hole RPA of Chap. 11.

The spiked harmonic oscillatorV(r)=r 2+λr −4 as a challenge to perturbation theory

1991

The standard weak- and strong-coupling perturbation series are interpreted as extreme special cases of expansions obtainable within the framework of Rayleigh-Schroedinger perturbation theory with non-diagonal propagators and unspecified zero-order energies. The formalism of the latter type is then tested by our strongly singular example. It proves suitable for applications in the domain of virtually arbitrary couplings. A few related technicalities and especially the quadruple problem of convergence are also discussed.

Multifractal wave functions at the Anderson transition.

1991

Electronic wave functions in disordered systems are studied within the Anderson model of localization. At the critical disorder in 3D we diagonalize very large (103 823\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}103 823) secular matrices by means of the Lanczos algorithm. On all length scales the obtained strong spatial fluctuations of the amplitude of the eigenstates display a multifractal character, reflected in the set of generalized fractal dimensions and the singularity spectrum of the fractal measure. An analysis of 1D systems shows multifractality too, in contrast to previous claims.

Applications and Implications of Fractional Dynamics for Dielectric Relaxation

2012

This article summarizes briefly the presentation given by the author at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on “Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy and its Advanced Technological Applications”, held in Perpignan, France, in September 2011. The purpose of the invited presentation at the workshop was to review and summarize the basic theory of fractional dynamics (Hilfer, Phys Rev E 48:2466, 1993; Hilfer and Anton, Phys Rev E Rapid Commun 51:R848, 1995; Hilfer, Fractals 3(1):211, 1995; Hilfer, Chaos Solitons Fractals 5:1475, 1995; Hilfer, Fractals 3:549, 1995; Hilfer, Physica A 221:89, 1995; Hilfer, On fractional diffusion and its relation with continuous time random walks.

Coupling of heat flux and vortex polarization in superfluid helium

2020

We consider a macroscopic description of the mutual influence between heat flux and vortex polarization in superfluid helium, in which the vortices produce a lateral deviation of the heat flux, and the heat flux produces a lateral drift of vortices. This coupling is a consequence of a microscopic Magnus force and mutual friction force between the vortices and the flow of excitations carrying the heat. We keep track of these effects with simplified macroscopic equations, and we apply them to second sound propagation between rotating concentric cylinders and to spatial distribution of polarization across a rectangular channel with vortices polarized orthogonally to the channel in the presence…

Parameterized nonrelativistic limit of stellar structure equations in Ricci-based gravity theories

2021

We present the non-relativistic limit of the stellar structure equations of Ricci-based gravities, a family of metric-affine theories whose Lagrangian is built via contractions of the metric with the Ricci tensor of an a priori independent connection. We find that this limit is characterized by four parameters that arise in the expansion of several geometric quantities in powers of the stress-energy tensor of the matter fields. We discuss the relevance of this result for the phenomenology of non-relativistic stars, such as main-sequence stars as well as several substellar objects.
