We report an investigation of the magnetic phase diagram of the heavy fermion com-pound CeCoGe2.36Si0.64 using DC magnetic susceptibility measurements under high pressure upto 10 kbar. The antiferromagnetic order that develops at ambient pressure below about 5.5 Kremains essentially unaffected by pressure in the investigated pressure range up to 10 kbar. Onthe other hand, moderate magnetic fields appear to induce a quantum critical point in a sam-ple subject to a pressure of 2 kbar. We discuss the role of disorder in the series of compoundsCeCoGe3−xSix.

AbstractTwo-dimensional electron systems in a quantizing magnetic field are regarded as of exceptional interest, considering the possible role of anyons—quasiparticles with non-boson and non-fermion statistics—in applied physics. To this day, essentially none but the fractional states of the quantum Hall effect (FQHE) have been experimentally realized as a system with anyonic statistics. In determining the thermodynamic properties of anyon matter, it is crucial to gain insight into the physics of its neutral excitations. We form a macroscopic quasi-equilibrium ensemble of neutral excitations - spin one anyon complexes in the Laughlin state ν = 1/3, experimentally, where ν is the electron filling factor. The ensemble is found to have such a long lifetime that it can be considered the new state of anyon matter. The properties of this state are investigated by optical techniques to reveal its Bose properties.

Nonlocality was discovered by John Bell in 1964, in the context of the debates about quantum theory, but is a phenomenon that can be studied in its own right. Its observation proves that measurements are not revealing pre-determined values, falsifying the idea of “local hidden variables” suggested by Einstein and others. One is then forced to make some radical choice: either nature is intrinsically statistical and individual events are unspeakable, or our familiar space-time cannot be the setting for the whole of physics. As phenomena, nonlocality and its consequences will have to be predicted by any future theory, and may possibly play the role of foundational principles in these developments. But nonlocality has found a role in applied physics too: it can be used for “device-independent” certification of the correct functioning of random number generators and other devices. After a self-contained introduction to the topic, this monograph on nonlocality presents the main tools and results following a logical, rather than a chronological, order.

There are two important characteristics of the microscope or any other optical system used for scintillation counting, which may influence the number observed, namely, the numerical aperture and the magnification. In order to show clearly the role of each factor it seemed desirable to investigate how the percentage of the number of particles observed varied with the numerical aperture in two cases where the magnification was widely different. The first case chosen was the counting of scintillations with a microscope of magnification 50, where the numerical aperture could be varied at will by placing stops on the objective. Stops of black paper which fitted the objective and could be easily interchanged in the dark were used. The numerical aperture corresponding to each objective stop was measured in the usual way (see, for example, ‘Dictionary of Applied Physics,’ vol. 4, p. 205 (1923)). The importance of the numerical aperture is not due to its influence on resolving power, but to its influence on the fraction of the light from a scintillation which enters the objective. From the definition of numerical aperture it follows that the fraction of the light entering the objective from the object viewed is ½ (1 — √ 1— ( n.a ) 2 ).


The subject of liquid crystals is a fascinating one. The involvements of the subject, representing, some would say, a ‘fourth state of matter’, range from the highly theoretical to the highly technical, and its investigators in both academic and industrial institutions belong to disciplines as distinct as chemistry, physics, electrical and electronic engineering, applied physics, and biology. The strong tempo of research in the subject today is of course a direct outcome of the technological applications of liquid crystals in electro-optical display devices and temperature-sensing devices. Successes in these areas have, however, arisen only through the closest of collaborations among research and industrial scientists from such different disciplines. After a suitable introduction, progress to date in the area of applications will be traced, with emphasis upon the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration. Given its continuation in the face of growing competition, some techno­logical prospects for the future will be examined.
