A Darboux-Bäcklund transformation is used to obtain a positon type solution of the nonlinear equations describing the propagation of coupled nonlinear optical pulses.This form of the positon solution is then compared with that obtained by the special limiting procedure applied to a two-soliton solution. It is observed that though the algebraic form of the two solutions is different yet both of these have singularities and the position of the singularities remains on the similar curve in the (x,t) plane. We also depict the form of these solutions graphically. Finally, it may be added that the method of Darboux-Bäcklund transformation is convenient for generating more than one-positon solution.

THEORY OF CRITICAL SOUND ATTENUATION IN ISING-TYPE MAGNETS

A. Pawlak

Institute of Physics, A. Mickiewicz University Umultowska 85, 61-614 Poznań, Poland

Received: May 30, 2000

The critical behaviour of sound attenuation has been studied in an elastically isotropic Ising system above the critical point on the basis of a complete stochastic model including both spin-energy and lattice-energy modes linearly coupled to the longitudinal sound mode. The effect of spin-lattice relaxation on the ultrasonic attenuation is investigated. The crossover between Kawasaki behaviour and Murata-Iro-Schwabl behaviour is studied as dependent on the values of ultrasonic frequency, reduced temperature, relaxation times, etc. A new high-frequency regime is discussed in the magnetic systems. This new regime corresponds to an adiabatic sound propagation and is very similar to the ones in binary mixture and liquid helium. A new frequency-dependent specific heat being the harmonic average of the bare lattice and critical spin specific heats is introduced. It was shown that such specific heat describes the process of equilibration between spin and lattice subsystems and includes the most important features of critical sound attenuation.

The contribution of exchange interactions is investigated for spin polarization of electrons which are scattered elastically from xenon and mercury at the energy of 1.5 eV. We find that electron exchange between the bound-state and the scattered electron gives rise to a substantial spin polarization in both cases.

Received: March 14, 2000

In the paper the efficiency of the light energy conversion from the fundamental wave into its second harmonics is analysed. A standard model of three waves mixing in media without centre of symmetry was applied. It was shown that the full conversion of energy is possible if an appropriate phase difference exists and provided that at least a minimal energy of the second wave is present on the input. The results are expressed both by analytical formulas and a phase space reconstruction. A simple experimental setup to enhance the second harmonics is proposed.

The temperature dependencies of a spontaneous polarisation, Ps, and pyroelectric modulus, gamma, at different electric field intensities were investigated for the triglycine sulphate crystals doped with the Cr3+ chromium ions. On the base of thermodynamic theory the temperature dependencies of Ps and gamma at different electric field intensities were estimated. The coefficients of the expansion of the thermodynamic potential were determined. The experimental results were compared with those obtained according to the thermodynamic theory.

The results of experimental investigation of thermal expansion of [N(C2H5)4]2CuCl4 crystals in a wide temperature range are presented. The anomaly of thermal deformation typical of first order phase transition at 258 K and additional continuous anomaly at 195 K were observed. It was shown that low temperature anomalies of physical properties of [N(C2H5)4]2CuCl4 crystals can be described as overcritical trace of isomorphous phase transitions. Results of numerical analysis of phenomenological model of improper ferroelastic exhibiting isomorphous phase transitions are presented and compared with experimentally determined temperature dependencies of spontaneous deformation of [N(C2H5)4]2Cu Cl4 crystals.

Dielectric relaxation study was carried out for the nematic and isotropic phases of 4-(trans-4'-n- heptylcyclohexyl)isothiocyanatobenzene in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 1 GHz. In the nematic phase two relaxation processes were recorded for the electric permittivity component measured parallel to the molecular orientation (director n) and three relaxation processes - for the perpendicular permittivity component. The strength of the nematic potential and the nematic order parameter were estimated.

Received: February 23, 2000; in final form April 28, 2000

The magnetic phase diagram of europium telluride, EuTe, under external high pressure is theoretically investigated. Besides nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour exchange interactions, the long-range dipolar and biquadratic interactions are taken into account. The functional dependences of these interactions on the lattice constant are proposed. The calculated Néel and Curie temperatures are compared with the experimental data. Two new phases, antiferrimagnetic and ferrimagnetic, have been found at a high pressure and low temperatures.

The dc conductivity and thermoelectric power of a-Se80-xGa20Tex (x=3D0,5, 10,15 and 20) thin films were reported in the present work. The free charge carrier concentration was calculated with the help of dc conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements. The calculated values of free charge carrier concentration were used to evaluate the free charge carrier mobility from which grain boundary potential was evaluated. The results are interpreted in terms of small polaron hopping, the structure of Se-Te and the grain boundary potential barrier.

Theoretical study of the binding energies of an off-center donor hydrogenic impurity in a cylindrical quantum well wires semiconductor is presented. Calculations are performed in the framework of the effective mass approximation using the variational approach. We describe the effect of the quantum confinement by an infinitely deep potential well and we take into consideration the interaction between the charge carrier (electron and ion) and the optical phonons (confined longitudinal optical and surface optical). Our results show that the impurity binding energy depends strongly on the spatial confinement, the impurity position and the polaronic corrections.

Received: May 8, 2000

In this paper, an analytical band model is introduced in Monte Carlo simulation of electric transport process in thin film electroluminescent devices. The band structure of ZnS calculated from the empirical pseudopotential method is fitted by using polynomials. The density of states and scattering rates are also calculated from these polynomials. Based on these results, the electric transport process in ZnS-type thin film electroluminescent devices is simulated through the Monte Carlo method. By comparison with others, this model is as fast as the nonparabolic model and as accurate as the full band model. Furthermore, the influence of the band model on the simulation results is also investigated. We show that the dispersion relation and density of states are all important in the simulation.

A nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation dispersion study of the relaxation of several magnetization components in both natural and deuterated lysozyme solutions was undertaken at 20°C. Proton and deuteron resonances were employed. The two-dimensional time evolution of the magnetization and the spin-spin relaxation were analyzed. In addition, an isotopic dilution study was performed at 5 and 30.6MHz. The results indicate that the water proton spin-lattice relaxation rate which arises from intermolecular relaxation between the water protons and the lysozyme protons represents a relatively strong relaxation mechanism. A model for the dynamics of the water molecules, consistent with the proton and deuteron dispersions as well as with the isotopic dilution results, is presented.

High power proton relaxometry was applied to investigate the liquid phase contained in porous rock. Proton free induction decays and spin-lattice relaxation times allowed us to investigate the pore distribution and the contribution of mobile and of immobilized liquid. The differences in pore distributions in oil-containing limestone and in Weglowicki sandstone were found. The fractal exponent for pore distribution in Weglowicki sandstone was fitted using both stretched exponential and modified stretched exponential models. The results of both approaches are compared.
