On the significance of quantum effects and interactions for the apparent universality of Bloch laws for M s (T) Abstract The apparent universality of Bloch's T 3/2-law for the temperature dependence of the spontaneous magnetisation, and of generalizations thereof, is considered. It is argued that in the derivation one should not only consider the exchange interaction between the spins, but also...

Length–weight relationship, condition factor (K), relative (Kn), fecundity and egg diameter of Mystus vittatus (Bloch, 1794) were estimated from 120 individuals collected the Mouri river Khulna district, Bangladesh during 7th August to 25th October 2006. The total length (LT) ranged 7.2 cm (body weight (W) 6.9 g) 13.4 (W=24.2 for male 12.1 (W=14.39 13.6 (W=23.29 female. logarithmic relationship...

We consider a Wannier-Stark problem for small eld f in the one-ladder case. We prove that a generical rst band state is a metastable state (Wannier-Bloch oscillator) with the lifetime determined by the imaginary part of the Wannier-Stark ladder. The innnite resonances of the ladder cause Bloch oscillations as a global beating eeect. For an adiabatic time = ft large enough, but much smaller than...

This paper is concerned with the study of the vibrations of a coupled fluid-solid periodic structure. As the period goes to zero, an asymptotic analysis of the spectrum (i.e., the set of eigenfrequencies) is performed with the help of a new method, the so-called Bloch-wave homogenization method (which is a blend of two-scale convergence and Bloch-wave decomposition). The limit spectrum is made ...

We investigate Bloch oscillations of interacting cold atoms in a mean-field framework. In general, atom-atom interaction causes dephasing and destroys Bloch oscillations. Here we show that Bloch oscillations are persistent if the interaction is modulated harmonically with suitable frequency and phase. For other modulations, Bloch oscillations are rapidly damped. We explain this behavior in term...

We study the role of transverse spatial degrees of freedom in the dynamics of signal-idler phase locked states in type-II optical parametric oscillators. Phase locking stems from signal-idler polarization coupling which arises if the cavity birefringence and/or dichroism is not matched to the nonlinear crystal birefringence. Spontaneous Bloch domain wall formation is observed numerically and th...
