A macroscopic force induced by the effective potential suggested by Moody and Wilczek between α-quartz crystal and copper block is studied in detail. The matrix elements in the force formula are analyzed according to representations of the non-symmorphic space group P 3121 of α-quartz crystal. The asymmetry distribution of valence electrons and the selection rules do not cancel the force. We conclude that there exists a CP-violating macroscopic force. According to the limit of the production of the axion coupling constants gs gp/ℏc ≤ 10-26 at the Compton wavelength λ = 10-3 m, the macroscopic force between a 0.08 × 0.08 × 0.02 m3 block of α-quartz and a 0.08 × 0.08× 0.01 m3 copper block with a separation being 0.5 × 10-3 m in between, is estimated at less than 3.09 × 10-26 N.

The relationship between the parity P, time θ, charge C, and Hermitian h conjugation operators and the irreducible Racah tensor operators is reexamined. Polar tensor operators (describing electric properties) are distinguished from axial tensor operators (describing magnetic properties and angular momenta) on the basis of their individual parity and time conjugation properties. However, the effect of the Pθ product conjugation is identical for both classes and for even rank is equivalent to the Racah definition for the Hermitian conjugation of a tensor operator. It is shown that this property separates the Racah tensor operators from other vector quantities like linear momentum which cannot be represented by such operators. The selection rules due to parity and time conjugation and Hermitian conjugation that arise in the calculation of the matrix elements of the tensor operators and their products are then obtained self-consistently using the Wigner–Eckart theorem.

AbstractWe introduce a new approach to find the Tomita–Takesaki modular flow for multi-component regions in general chiral conformal field theory. Our method is based on locality and analyticity of primary fields as well as the so-called Kubo–Martin–Schwinger (KMS) condition. These features can be used to transform the problem to a Riemann–Hilbert problem on a covering of the complex plane cut along the regions, which is equivalent to an integral equation for the matrix elements of the modular Hamiltonian. Examples are considered.

AbstractWe present general analytical expressions for the matrix elements of the atom–diatom interaction potential, expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials, in a basis set of products of two spherical harmonics, especially significant to the recently developed adiabatic variational theory for cold molecular collision experiments [J. Chem. Phys. 143, 074114 (2015); J. Phys. Chem. A 121, 2194 (2017)]. We used two approaches in our studies. The first involves the evaluation of the integral containing trigonometric functions with arbitrary powers. The second approach is based on the theorem of addition of spherical harmonics.

Abstract The radial Schrödinger wave equation with Morse potential function is solved for HF molecule. The resulting vibration-rotation eigenfunctions are then used to compute the matrix elements of (r - re)n. These are combined with the experimental values of the electric dipole matrix elements to calculate the dipole moment coefficients, M 1 and M 2.

ABSTRACTLeach tests carried out on SRL TDS-131 Defense Waste Class indicate that at high flow rates the controlling mechanism is simple corrosion. The matrix elements (Si, Al) are leached out at rates similar to those of the leaching of the alkalis and of boron, and the leaching process is nearly linear with time. At slow flow rates (below 1 m/yr) leaching becomes controlled by the build-up of a protective layer. Al and most of the Si remain in the leached surface layer. The leach rates decrease in the course of the test before leveling off at constant values which are almost inversely proportional to the contact time, indicating that leachate concentrations have become solubility-limited. The low concentrations observed at this stage indicate the formation of alteration products.
