The principles of causality and unitarity are studied within rational nonlinear electrodynamics proposed earlier. We investigate dyonic and magnetized black holes and show that in the self-dual case, when the electric charge equals the magnetic charge, corrections to Coulomb's law and Reissner-Nordstrom solutions are absent. In the case of the magnetic black hole, the Hawking temperature, the heat capacity and the Helmholtz free energy are calculated. It is shown that there are second-order phase transitions and it was demonstrated that at some range of parameters the black holes are stable.

Abstract A detailed analysis of the molecular structural data and infrared absorption and Raman spectra of the hexafluoride of sulfur, selenium, tellurium, molybdenum, technetium, ruthium, rhodium, tungsten, thenium, osmium, iridium, platinum, uranium, neptunium, and plutonium has been made. These molecules, having the greatest number of symmetry elements of all existing molecules, possess an octahedral symmetry with the symmetry point group Oh. They give rise to six fundamental frequencies of which three are allowed in the Raman spectrum, two are allowed in the infrared absorption spectrum, and one is inactive. The inactive mode in normally determined from the overtones and combinations. On the basis of a rigid rotator and harmonic oscillator model, enthalpy, free energy, entropy, and heat capacity for temperatures from 200 °K to 2000 °K have been computed for these molecules. The results are briefly discussed and compared with available experimental data.

Since the effective potential for noisy “macroscopic” degrees of freedom (e.g. the magnetic phase in Josephson junctions) in general depends on the (local) temperature, it is given thermodynamical significance as the Gibbs or Helmholtz free energy. Using the notions of nonequilibrium thermodynamics a generalized Kramers Fokker-Planck equation is then presented, which includes nonisothermal effects. The escape rate from a metastable state across a temperature-dependent energy barrier is investigated. A substantial entropic barrier enhancement is found for a specimen with small heat capacity and slow heat exchange with its environment (e.g. the helium reservoir).
