It is shown that restoring force acts on the electronic cloud of the outer electrons of a neutral or charged impurity atom when it is shifted relative to the inner charged core (or expanded). Because of this the dipole oscillations arise which influence considerably the dispersion law of the plasma oscillations in bulk extrinsic semiconductors. Assuming that only one transition of electron from the ground state to the first excited state is essential, the dispersion law is calculated. It is shown that the calculated dispersion law consists of two separate branches, one of them originates from the regular plasma oscillations of the free electrons of a conductivity band, and the other one stems from the local oscillations of the outer electrons bounded to the impurity atoms.

AbstractWe present a derivation of the dispersion relation for electrostatic oscillations in a zero-temperature quantum plasma, in which degenerate electrons are governed by the Wigner equation, while non-degenerate ions follow the classical fluid equations. The Poisson equation determines the electrostatic wave potential. We consider parameters ranging from semiconductor plasmas to metallic plasmas and electron densities of compressed matter such as in laser compression schemes and dense astrophysical objects. Owing to the wave diffraction caused by overlapping electron wave function because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in dense plasmas, we have the possibility of Landau damping of the high-frequency electron plasma oscillations at large enough wavenumbers. The exact dispersion relations for the electron plasma oscillations are solved numerically and compared with the ones obtained by using approximate formulas for the electron susceptibility in the high- and low-frequency cases.

From kinetic data (k, T) we calculated the thermodynamic parameters for various processes (nucleation, elongation, fibrillization, etc.) of proteinaceous diseases that are related to the β-amyloid protein (Alzheimer's), to tau protein (Alzheimer's, Pick's), to α-synuclein (Parkinson's), prion, amylin (type II diabetes), and to α-crystallin (cataract). Our calculations led to ΔG≠ values that vary in the range 92.8–127 kJ mol−1 at 310 K. A value of ∼10–30 kJ mol−1 is the activation energy for the diffusion of reactants, depending on the reaction and the medium. The energy needed for the excitation of O2 from the ground to the first excited state (1Δg, singlet oxygen) is equal to 92 kJ mol−1. So, the ΔG≠ is equal to the energy needed for the excitation of ground state oxygen to the singlet oxygen (1Δg first excited) state. The similarity of the ΔG≠ values is an indication that a common mechanism in the above disorders may be taking place. We attribute this common mechanism to the (same) role of the oxidative stress and specifically of singlet oxygen, (1Δg), to the above-mentioned processes: excitation of ground state oxygen to the singlet oxygen, 1Δg, state (92 kJ mol−1), and reaction of the empty π* orbital with high electron density regions of biomolecules (∼10–30 kJ mol−1 for their diffusion). The ΔG≠ for cases of heat-induced cell killing (cancer) lie also in the above range at 310 K. The present paper is a review and meta-analysis of literature data referring to neurodegenerative and other disorders.

Abstract Silver/polyaniline (Ag/PANI) composites were prepared by an in-situ synthesis method. Interestingly, the permittivity changed from positive to negative along with the formation of percolation network. The plasma oscillations of free electrons from the network made a dominant effect on the negative permittivity behavior. Further investigation based on equivalent circuit analysis revealed that the composites with negative permittivity presented inductive character. The epsilon-negative composites can be applied to electromagnetic shielding, absorbing and attenuation.

Ground Multiplet

Experimental and theoretical study of submillimeter (terahertz) spectroscopic and magnetic properties of the rare-earth aluminum borate HoAl3(BO3)4 were performed at temperatures 3–300 K. In the transmittance spectra a number of resonance lines were detected at frequencies 2–35 cm–1 for different radiation polarizations. These modes were identified as transitions between the lower levels of the ground multiplet of the Ho3+ ion split by the crystal field, including both transitions from the ground state to the excited ones and transitions between the excited states. The established excitation conditions of the observed modes and the simulation of the spectra made it possible to separate the magnetic and electric dipole transitions and to determine the energies of the corresponding states, their symmetry, and the matrix elements of the transitions. Low-frequency lines that do not fit into the established picture of the electron states of Ho3+ were also found; these lines, apparently, correspond to the ions with the distorted by defects local symmetry of the crystal field.

ABSTRACT Plasma lensing is the refraction of low-frequency electromagnetic rays due to free electrons in the interstellar medium. Although the phenomenon has a distinct similarity to gravitational lensing, particularly in its mathematical description, plasma lensing introduces other additional features, such as wavelength dependence, radial rather than tangential image distortions, and strong demagnification of background sources. Axisymmetrical models of plasma lenses have been well studied in the literature, but density distributions with more complicated shapes can provide new and exotic image configurations and increase the richness of the magnification properties. As a first step towards non-axisymmetrical distributions, we study two families of elliptical plasma lens, softened power law, and exponential plasma distributions. We perform numerical studies on each lens model, and present them over a parameter space. In addition to deriving elliptical plasma lens formulae, we also investigate the number of critical curves that the lens can produce by studying the lens parameter space, in particular the dependence on the lensing ellipticity. We find that the introduction of ellipticity into the plasma distribution can enhance the lensing effects as well as the complexity of the magnification map.

Doppler Shift Attenuation Method

Lifetime measurements have been made by the Doppler-shift attenuation method for the 1.98-, 3.63-, 3.92-, and 4.45-Mev states in O18 and the 1.28-, 3.34-, and 4.47-Mev states in Ne22, excited by the reactions Li7(C12, pγ)O18 and Li7(O16, pγ)Ne22. Branching ratios have also been measured. The results are tabulated.[Formula: see text]The decay of the 3.92-Mev state in O18 is 93.5% to the 1.98-Mev state and 6.5% to the ground state and of the 4.45-Mev state 74% to the 3.63-Mev state, 26% to the 1.98-Mev state, and less than 2% to the ground state. In Ne22, the ground-state transition from the 4.47-Mev state is less than 2% of the decay to the first excited state.
