The authors propose to use multifractal analysis in reciprocal space as a tool to characterise, in a statistical and global sense, the nature of the Fourier transform of geometrical models for atomic structures. This approach is especially adequate for shedding some new light on a class of structures introduced recent…

It is argued that the threshold transition that occurs in the phase-deformation model of charge-density-wave systems in an applied electric field is destroyed in all dimensions by phase slips (amplitude fluctuations). The one-dimensional case is demonstrated using an exactly soluble model.

The structure of succinonitrile in its orientationally disordered phase was reexamined through extended X-ray diffraction measurements. It was solved by using both the analytic procedures of symmetry-adapted functions and a Frenkel model assuming discrete orientations. A possible translation-rotation coupling was incl…

Inelastic neutron scattering was used to investigate liquidlike motions and the nature of a dynamic transition in myoglobin, a small globular protein. The signature of the transition is a strong enhancement of low-frequency density fluctuations and a corresponding decrease in elastic scattering above 180 K. It is show…

The distribution functions and RMS value of the Barkhausen noise are studied in samples of (110)[001] Fe-Si3% as function of the magnetization and applied field for several angles between the applied field and the [001] crystallographic axis. The results obtained are explained in terms of C domain nucleation, growth,…

The anelastic relaxations observed between 100 and 600 K for a very high purity magnesium are presented. The performed experiences show an internal friction peak P1 placed around 410 K whose activation parameters are determined (v = 1000b3, HP1 = 1 eV). The P1 behaviour is similar to that of the P1 peak observed in 99…

The crystal structure of the natural thromsonite, Na 1•00 Ca 1•88 Sr 0•12 Al 5 Si 5 O 20 •6H 2 O, at 13 K has been refined from neutron diffraction data. The structure is generally very close to the room-temperature structure and shows no sign of cation ordering. Among the significant differences are decreased T-O-T a…

Young's modulus was measured as a function of electrical bias on o-${\mathrm{TaS}}_{3}$ between 60 K and the Peierls transition temperature, ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$=220 K. ${\mathit{Y}}_{\mathrm{CDW}}$, the modulus difference between stationary and rapidly sliding charge-density-wave states, increases as the squar…

The validity of Rayleigh's hypothesis with permeable media is investigated. For the two-dimensional transmission problem, the extinction theorem and boundary integral equations are obtained within a common framework, for the surface with periodic corrugations. The surface field functions are found from the integral eq…

X-ray diffraction and magnetization have been measured for Fe 1- x Al x alloys produced by facing target type DC sputtering. The bcc phase is obtained for x =0-0.65, the amorphous phase for x =0.7-0.9 and the fcc phase for x =0.9-1.0 on water-cooled (WC) substrates, while the bcc phase is obtained for x =0-0.55, the a…

A new formulation of the weighted density approximation, the so-called modified weighted density approximation (MWDA), has been developed recently by Denton and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. A39, 4701 (1989)]. In the present article, the MWDA theory is examined by applying it to the freezing of simple liquids in low dimensions…

A semiempirical many-body potential [J. Tersoff, Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 2879 (1988)] has been used to model carbon clusters (${\mathit{C}}_{\mathit{n}}$) in the size range 50\ensuremath{\le}n\ensuremath{\le}72. Ground-state geometries are identified by simulated annealing. Our results show that, for these sizes, all the…

An angle-resolved high-resolution electron-energy-loss-spectroscopy study is reported of the surface-plasmon spectrum on Ag(001) along different azimuths. A single loss energy is observed which disperses linearly with exchanged momentum ${\mathit{q}}_{\mathrm{?}}$ from 3.69\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.01 eV with a sl…

A Fibonacci optical superlattice is analyzed which is made from a single crystal with quasiperiodic laminar ferroelectric domain structures. The second-harmonic generation in this system is studied. Because of the dispersive effect of the refractive index, the second-harmonic spectrum does not reflect the symmetry of…

A new route of preparation of high quality of graphitized films has been demonstrated. Highly graphitized films with electrical conductivity as high as 6×103 S/cm have been prepared by pyrolysis of bacterial cellulose films at 2900 °C. These films can be well intercalated with acceptors and donors such as FeCl3 and K,…

We present the results of comprehensive measurements of photoconductivity in films of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-yl), a soluble alkyl derivative of polythiophene. Transient measurements in the subnanosecond-time regime reveal a fast, temperature-independent photoconductive response which decays within about 100 ps afte…
