The interacting system of electrons, positrons and photons in high external electric and arbitrary magnetic fields

Abstract

The connected system of Boltzman equations for the interacting system of electrons, positrons and photons in high external electric E and arbitrary magnetic H fields is solved. The consideration is made under the conditions of arbitrary heating and the mutual drag of carriers and photons. The non-stationary and non-uniform distribution function (DF) of photons for the all considered cases is obtained. It is shown that the DF of photons have the stationary limit for the drift velocities $(\overset{\to }\to{u}\overset{\to}\to{q}/\hbar ω_q) <1$ and becomes exponentially grown by the time for the drift velocities $(\overset{\to}\to{u}\overset{\to}\to{q}/\hbar ω_q) \geq 1$. It is shown that the mutual drag of carriers and photons leads to the formation of ''quasi-particles''\_ the ''electron dressed by photons'' and ''positron dressed by photons'', i.e. the mutual drag plays the role of the dressing mechanism of carriers and leads to the renormalization of the mass and frequency of photons. As a result of analyses of the phenomena of connected by the mutual drag system of carriers and photons we receive some fundamental results: a) the finiteness of the mass of photon (i.e. the rest mass of photons do not equal to zero); b) reality of takhyons as a quasi-particles with the real mass in amplifying system (or regime); c) identity of the mechanism of relativity and the Doppler effect which coincides with the renormalization of frequency or mass as a result of the mutual drag of carriers and photons at external field (force). These conclusions were received as a result of the fact that the relativistic factor enters to the expressions of the DF of photons and other physical expressions in the first order in the form $[ 1-(u^2/c^2) ] ^{-1}$, instead the $[ 1-(u^2/c^2) ] ^{-1/2}$ in Einstein theory. It is shown that the relativistic effect of deceleration of time really taking place for the relaxation time of carriers or for the life time of carriers, or for the period of electromagnetic oscillations. The latest is a direct result of the Doppler effect. Also it is shown that the velocity of light is an averaged velocity of photons at the ground state, as well as a velocity of sound for the phonons.

Large amplitude behavior of the Grinfeld instability, Part I: High-order weakly nonlinear analysis

Amplitude expansions are used to determine steady states of a semi-infinite solid subject to the Grinfeld instability in systems with a fixed (wave)length. We present two methods to obtain high-order weakly nonlinear results. Using the system size as a control parameter, we circumvent the problem that there is no instability threshold for an extended system in the absence of gravity. This way, the case without gravity becomes accessible to a weakly nonlinear treatment. The dependence of the branch structure of solution space on the level of gravity (or density difference) is exhibited. In the zero-gravity limit, we recover the solution branch obtained by Spencer and Meiron. A transition from a supercritical to a subcritical bifurcation is observed as gravity is increased or the nonhydrostatic stress is decreased at fixed gravity. At given values of the system parameters, we find a discrete, possibly infinite, set of solution branches. This is reminiscent of dendritic or eutectic growth, where similar solution sets exist, of which only a particular one is linearly stable. Despite the high order of our expansions, the approach is restricted to relatively small nondimensional amplitudes ($\lesssim 0.2$), a disadvantage we can overcome by a variational approach that will be discussed in a companion paper. At the critical point, we find that not only the first Landau coefficient is negative but all of them up to the highest amplitude order (15) we could compute so far.

Electronic Structure, Correlation Effects and Physical Properties of d- and f-Metals and Their Compounds

The book includes all main physical properties of d- and f-transition-metal systems and corresponding theoretical concepts. Especial attention is paid to the theory of magnetism and transport phenomena. Some examples of non-traditional questions which are treated in detail in the book: the influence of density of states singularities on electron properties; many-electron description of strong itinerant magnetism; mechanisms of magnetic anisotropy; microscopic theory of anomalous transport phenomena in ferromagnets. Besides considering classical problems of solid state physics as applied to transition metals, modern developments in the theory of correlation effects in d- and f-compounds are considered within many-electron models. The book contains, where possible, a simple physical discussion. More difficult questions are considered in Appendices.

Quasiperiodic functions theory and the superlattice potentials for a two-dimensional electron gas

We consider Novikov problem of the classification of level curves of quasiperiodic functions on the plane and its connection with the conductivity of two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of both orthogonal magnetic field and the superlattice potentials of special type. We show that the modulation techniques used in the recent papers on the 2D heterostructures permit to obtain general quasiperiodic potentials for 2D electron gas and consider the asymptotic limit of conductivity when $τ\rightarrow \infty$. Using the theory of quasiperiodic functions we introduce here the topological characteristics of such potentials observable in the conductivity. The corresponding characteristics are the direct analog of the "topological numbers" introduced previously in the conductivity of normal metals.
