In-medium Yang-Mills equations: a derivation and canonical quantization

The equations for Yang-Mills field in a medium are derived in a linear approximation with respect to the gauge coupling parameter and the external field. The obtained equations closely resemble the macroscopic Maxwell equations. A canonical quantization is performed for a family of Fermi-like gauges in the case of constant and diagonal (in the group indices) tensors of electric permittivity and magnetic permeability. The physical subspace is defined and the gauge field propagator is evaluated for a particular choice of the gauge. The propagator is applied for evaluation of the cross-section of ellastic quark scattering in the Born approximation. Possible applications to Cherenkov-type gluon radiation are commented briefly.

Charge Dependence of Temperature-Driven Phase Transitions of Molecular Nanoclusters: Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Phase transitions (liquid-solid, solid-solid) triggered by temperature changes are studied in free nanosized clusters of TeF_6 (SF_6) with different negative charges assigned to the fluorine atoms. Molecular dynamics simulations at constant energy show that the charge increase from q_F=0.1 e to q_F=0.25 e shifts the melting temperature towards higher values and some of the metastable solid states disappear. The increased repulsive interaction maintains the order in molecular systems at higher temperatures.
