    The cross section for the reaction K+p→Λ+η was measured as a function of the incident K momentum in the vicinity of the reaction threshold. The excitation function for this reaction including earlier data confirms the existence of Λ (1670) with a mass and width of 1668 MeV/c2 and 15 MeV/c2 decaying into Λη with xe1xΛη=0.040. In addition, the behavior of the excitation function as well as the Λ angular distributions and polarization strongly suggest the existence of Λ (1690) with a mass and width of 1680 MeV/c2 and 10 MeV/c2 decaying into Λη with xe1xΛη=0.025.

    A detailed investigation of the electromagnetic properties of the 49Cr levels below 3 MeV has been made. The levels were populated by the 46Ti (α, nγ) 49Cr reaction at Eα=8 MeV. Analysis of measured gamma-ray angular distributions, linear polarizations, and gamma-gamma angular correlations has given the following unique spin and parity assignments: 9⁄2 to the 1083-keV level; 1⁄2 to the 1703-keV level; 5⁄2+ to the 2432-keV level; and 7⁄2 to the 2503-keV level. In addition, a unique 5/2 assignment has been given to the 2168-keV level. Lifetimes of some levels have been obtained from Doppler-shift attenuation measurements. New or revised values of branching ratios and mixing ratios have been determined for many transitions. The unique 5⁄2+ assignment to the 2432-keV level and a large B (E2) value obtained for the transition to the 1981-keV 3⁄2+ level suggest that the 2432-keV level is a member of the Kπ=3⁄2+ band built on the 1981-keV level.

    The 28Si (3He, d) 29P reaction has been studied at an incident energy of 29.3 MeV. Comparisons of DWBA and CCBA analyses of angular distributions for low-lying bound states show that channel-coupling effect is not important except for stripping to the 1.95-MeV 5⁄2+ state. Angular distributions for resonance states are analyzed by using Gamow functions as form factors for DWBA calulations. Such a description gives a reasonable account of the experimental angular distributions except that it fails to reproduce experimentally observed j-dependence.

    The pressure coefficients of the band parameters γ0∼γ5 and Δ of graphite have been calculated from first principles by an OPW-like method of band calculation. As for γ1 and γ2 the obtained values (dlogγ1⁄dP=0.020 and dlog|γ2|⁄dP=0.036 kbar−1) are of the same magnitude as earlier estimates, but dlog|Δ|⁄dP (obtained to be 0.031 kbar−1) is much smaller than previously reported values.

    A least principle is derived for Kroemer’s model for the Gunn effect to determine the structure and the velocity of the Gunn domain. Use is made of the reductive perturbation method to treat nonlinear equations of the local electric field. There exist many steady state distributions of the electric field, which are given analytically. The selection of the final field distribution among these steady states are discussed by using a variation functional, which is similar to the free energy functional in equilibrium. The constancy of the applied voltage difference plays an essential role for the formation of domains. The comparison between our formulation and those given by Ridley and by Butcher is made.

    Dynamical behavior of population of excitonic molecules in the kinetic energy space is investigated by taking into account the mutual interaction of molecules and the interaction with the heat bath of acoustic phonons. The potential energy between molecules is assumed to be constant for momentum transfer qq0 and zero otherwise. Then in the limit of q0K→0, where K is the momentum of the excitonic molecules, the number density in the energy space is described exactly by a Fokker Planck equation. The integral differential equation for the number density is solved numerically and some characteristics of this equation are clarified.

    The effect of polarization fluctuations on the behaviour of acoustic properties of ferroelectrics at second-order phase transition is investigated using the general principles of thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The obtained equations bring out the physical sense of the absorption mechanism: the elastic wave induces polarization, and an essential role in the formation of the electromechanical coupling is played by spatially-heterogeneous polarization fluctuations. There exists a linear relationship between polarization and elastic stress even in the absence of a piezoelectric effect. This mechanism is essential only close to the Curie point. The sound wave propagation, absorption and internal friction coefficients are obtained. The results are in agreement with available experimental data.

    Starting from a viewpoint that melting phenomena are caused by an instability of the lattice vibrations, neutron scattering studies were made on NaF to see how the anharmonic interaction of phonons develops with increasing temperature. The phonon frequency shift and the damping of the [110] TA1 mode were measured as functions of wave number and frequency over a wide range of temperature from 300 to 1250 K. At temperatures very close to the melting point Tm=1266 K, high ω(q) phonons are heavily damped, but low ω(q) phonons are still surprisingly stable. A marked frequency softening was observed only for this mode; no evidence for premelting phenomena could be seen, and Tm appears quite suddenly. It is argued that Tm will be determined not by the bulk but by the surface potential.

    A general theory of the intermediate state interaction in the second order optical process is developed by extending the stochastic theory of line shape. We introduce the stochastic models of the intermediate state interaction and discuss the general features of the secondary emission spectrum, focusing particular attention on how the correlation between the incident and the scattered photons are affected by the intermediate state interaction. It is clarified how the spectral features or the relative weights among the various components of the second order optical process are determined by a few physical parameters; the radiative damping rate and the modulation amplitude and rate. Further we discuss the relationships between the first and the second order optical processes.

    The stochastic theory of intermediate state interaction developed in a preceding paper is applied to more realistic models to discuss the correlation between the incident and the scattered photons in more detail. Through these model calculations it is confirmed that the spectral characteristics of the second order optical process are determined by a few physical parameters of the radiative damping rate and the modulation amplitude and rate. In the slow modulation limit the relative intensity ratio between the broad Raman component and the luminescence is almost determined by the ratio between the radiative damping rate (γb) and the modulation rate (γm). In the fast modulation limit the ratio between the δ-shaped Raman component if it exists and the luminescence is given by the ratio between γb and the dephasing relaxation rate Δ2⁄γm (Δ denotes the modulation amplitude.).

    A simple theory is given for various effects of surface acoustic waves (SAW) on the characteristics of the Josephson effect in tunnel junctions which are narrow with respect to the Josephson penetration depth. We consider the case where a SAW is propagated on the substrate on which the tunnel junction is fabricated. It is shown that new types of steps in the dc-current-voltage curves of the junction biased with a current source can occur when (1) the phase velocity of the Josephson current density wave matches the velocity of SAW and (2) the phase velocity of the Josephson current density wave modified by SAW matches the phase velocity of tire electromagnetic fields. Possible applications of the new phenomena to (1) a tunable SAW transducers and (2) a tunable generator of submillimeter wave pulses are briefly discussed.

    Magnetization curves were measured in high pulsed magnetic fields above 100 kOe for Fe and Ni just below and above their Curie points. For both Fe and Ni, a linear relationship between M2 and H/M holds in the high field region above 70 kOe. From the linear parts, Landau factors in a phenomenological equation and the critical exponents were determined without being affected by spin clusters. For Fe, the estimated critical exponents are consistent with those expected from the molecular field theory, which are the same results as for Ni. Furthermore, theoretical magnetization curves were calculated by means of the Green function method in order to compare with the experimental results. Both the shapes of calculated curves and their Landau factors are quite similar to the experimental ones.

    Nuclear magnetic resonance of 55Mn of an impurity Mn2+ spin has been investigated in three metamagnetic phases of CoCl2·2H2O at liquid helium temperatures. The hyperfine field at 1.6 K was found to be −594.1±0.3 kOe. A strong temperature dependence of the spin-echo decay time observed at low temperatures indicates that low-lying excitation energies of the Mn2+ spins are much lower than those of the host Co2+ spin system. However, there was no temperature dependence of the hyperfine field in the range from 1.6 to 4.2 K, and this was attributed tentatively to the long relaxation time of Mn2+ spins. When external field was applied parallel to the b-axis, jumps of the hyperfine field associated with metamagnetic transitions and an anomalous change of the electric field gradient were observed.

    Magnetic, electrical and structural properties of Ni (AsxS1−x)2 for 0≤x≤0.5 were investigated experimentally. The magnetic transition points, Néel and Curie points, and the metallic and nonmetallic regions were determined as a function of concentration and temperature. The critical concentration for the magnetic and electrical transitions at absolute zero was given to be x=0.22. The phase diagram thus obtained can be interpreted qualitatively by the Hubbard model, in which the parameters of transfer integral, Coulombs’ correlation and electron numbers in eg band are contained. Furthermore, the behavior of electrical resistivity can be explained by the spin fluctuation theory. Finally, a general view of the phase diagram of solid solutions among pyrite type compounds is summarized from the same standpoint.

    The critical properties of the randomly dilute Ising ferromagnet are discussed for the square lattice by the method of concentration expansion. The studies are mostly limited to the investigation of the effects of the second neighbor interaction on the concentration dependence of the Curie temperature Tc(p) and on the temperature dependence of the critical exponent \barγ(θ) describing the susceptibility divergence. The series obtained is analysed by the root, ratio, and Padé approximant methods, respectively. As for Tc(p), the previous results are reconfirmed by raising the degree of series expansion. The present calculation gives an apparent temperature dependence of \barγ(θ) and its behavior can be compared with the results previously calculated for some three-dimensional lattices. Furthermore, it is found that the essential feature of \barγ(θ) is not affected by the presence of the second neighbor interaction.

    Magnetization and susceptibility measurements were made on polycrystalline samples of Zn1−xNixCr2S4 from 4.2 K to 800 K in magnetic fields up to 16.5 kOe. The inverse susceptibilities except for ZnCr2S4 show a non-linear behavior characteristic of a ferrimagnet. This indicates that the system has a magnetic moment on Ni2+ in contrast with NiRh2S4 and the sign of Ni2+–Cr3+ exchange interaction is negative. The saturation magnetization of the sample (x=0.40) is equal to 3.0±0.1 μB/molecule at 4.2 K. Electrical resistivity of the sample (x=0.40) was measured between 77 K and 300 K, and it is semiconducting (3×103Ω cm at R. T.).

    This paper reports the experimental and theoretical study on the temperature dependence of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) field at fixed frequency in a quadratic layer antiferromagnet k2MnF4. The shift of EPR field (or EPR g-shift) from the value in the infinite temperature limit is theoretically shown to be a function of the parallel and perpendicular susceptibilities. The predictions of the theory are compared with the results of EPR and torque measurements performed on the single crystal of K2MnF4 at temperatures above the Néel point. Excellent agreement is obtained.

    The nuclear magnetic resonances of the Co59 in Y1−xDyxCo5 at 77 K and Y1−xHoxCo5 at 293 K have been observed for 0≤x≤0.5 and x=1. It is found that the contribution of 4f electrons to the hyperfine field at the cobalt nucleus, H4f, is at most 3 kOe for DyCo5 and nearly zero for HoCo5. These values are given by H4f=6[(gJ−1)J−2]. The nuclear magnetic resonances of the Co59 in Y1−xGdxCo2 for 0.3≤x≤1, YCo3 and Y2Co7 have also been observed at 77 K. The hyperfine fields at the Co59 in YCo3, Y2Co7, YCo5 and Y2Co17 are interpreted by assuming that the hyperfine fields in these compounds are the sum of two contributions; one is proportional to the cobalt magnetic moment and the other is proportional to the number of the s-charactered conduction electrons per cobalt atom, which are supplied from the yttrium atoms.

    Thermal expansivities of Cr–Si alloys containing small amounts of Si up to 2.0 at.% were measured above 100 K. For alloys with Si atoms ranging from 1.0 to 1.4 at.%, two first order transitions are observed successively for the transitions from the paramagnetic (P) state to a commensurate (C) spin density wave (SDW) state and from the CSDW to an incommensurate (I) SDW state with decreasing temperature. The tricritical point is assigned to TN*=245 K and C*=0.975 at.% Si, where three loci of the P–I, P–C and C–I transitions concurred together satisfying the condition of the second order transition. On the basis of the two band model, just one of the four outer electrons of Si is estimated to flow into the magnetic bands of Cr.

    The exponents at the threshold of soft X-ray absorption and emission spectra of metals in the theory of Nozières and De Dominicis are calculated. Effects of the periodic potential on an electron in a conduction band are formulated to be given in an effective mass approximation and the structures of the inner-shell holes are included in the hole potentials. In the present formulation, the change of the electronic wave function in metals due to the hole potential is expressible in terms of the phase shift which is obtained in the first Born approximation. The exponents obtained in this way give a satisfactory agreement with the experiments on the absorption and emission spectra of Na, Mg and Al within the precision of analysis. In particular, for Li our result agrees roughly with the experimental one obtained by Baer et al. (Phys. Rev. Letters 37 (1976) 49) using X-ray photoemission.

    The lattice parameter of NiO from 105 K to 813 K has been measured using the X-ray diffraction technique. An orthogonal polynomial of second-order with least square error approximation is fitted to the lattice parameter versus temperature data to obtain the thermal expansion coefficient, α. The high temperature values of α have been found to be in close agreement with the measurements of earlier workers, using an automatic recording dialatometer.
    Experimental investigations have also been made of the infrared transmission spectrum of NiO in the region of fundamental lattice absorption between 293 K and 500 K, using a Beckman IR-12 spectrophotometer. The shift in the long-wavelength optical mode frequency with temperature is discussed in terms of volume and other anharmonic effects employing the present values of α and is found to agree qualitatively with the theory of Maradudin and Fein.

    The optical constants of TlCl–TlBr mixed crystals are determined in the region of 2.8 to 6.0 eV from the measurements of normal incidence reflectivity as well as refractive index at helium temperature. As the composition changes, the lowest direct exciton peak shifts continuously with downward bending, while both the second and the third absorption peaks do not continue from TlCl to TlBr. The fourth peak is found to shift smoothly, but with upward bending. These phenomena are explained in relation to the band structures and the theory of electronic states of mixed system developed by Onodera and Toyozawa.

    Using a superconducting solenoid attainable up to 40 kG, measurements have been made of the transverse magnetoresistance and Hall voltages in the Mn-doped (0.88 and 2.2 at.%) SnTe crystals at liquid helium temperatures. The magnetic impurity spins align ferromagnetically below certain temperature Tm, around which the magnetoresistance becomes negative. The observed Hall effect consists of the normal temperature-independent component R0 and the extraordinary component R1 which appears only below Tm. A graphically estimated saturation magnetization obeys approximately the Bloch T3⁄2 law, which clearly shows the presence of ferromagmetism in this Mn-doped degenerate semiconductor.

    The extended zone effective mass equation as proposed in the preceding paper is applied to the vally splitting in an n-channel (100) inversion layer of Si, and the valley splitting is explained theoretically for the first time. The splitting turns out to be about ΔE=0.15×(Ninv+32⁄11Ndepl) meV for the carrier concentrations Ninv and Ndepl of the inversion and depletion layers which are in 1012 cm−2 unit. The mechanism of the splitting is the electric break through, and two kinds of break through play a role in this system. The estimated splitting is too small to be observed, and it is suggested that the splitting will be greatly enhanced by many-body effects under a high magnetic field. However the appearance of the characteristic cusps in the measured line shapes of the Schubnikov-de Haas oscillation confirms that the theory gives the correct magnitude of the valley splitting without the enhancement by many-body effects.

    The enhancement of the valley and spin splittings in the presence of a high magnetic field in an n-channel (100) inversion layer of Si by a screened exchange interaction are investigated theoretically. The splittings are enhanced enough to be observed in the experiments. The line shapes of the Schubnikov-de Haas oscillation are also calculated, and the results agree with the experiments including the appearance of cusps in the line shapes. The many-body theory can not only explain the observed splittings but also confirm the one-body theory of the valley splitting presented by the present authors.

    The static and dynamic electrostrictive properties of order-disorder type ferroelectrics are discussed. The theory takes into account properly the role of an ionic polarization which interacts with a dipole system. The electrostrictive constants M and Q with which the electrostrictive contribution to the total strain is written as ME2 or QP2 are calculated. The constant M diverges when TC is approached from above as well as from below, its sign below TC being opposite to that above TC. The constant Q shows a marked temperature dependence in the ferroelectric phase. Besides, it shows a sharp cusp at TC when the Curie constant is small. The electrostrictive strain under an alternating electric field is expected to show an anomalous phase lag. All these are due to the dielectric nonlinearity and/or the presence of an ionic polarization. When the ionic polarization is ignored, the result reduces to that of Landau-Devonshire theory.

    An expression is obtained for the thermal conductivity of a displacive ferroelectrics in paraelectric phase, in presence of an external electric field, using Kubo formalism and double time Green’s function technique. The total thermal conductivity which is the sum of two terms contributed by optical and acoustical phonons respectively, is seen to increase with the applied field, in agreement with the experimental results of Steigmeier. In the absence of an external field, the expression reduces to the Carruther’s formula giving the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity. In the vicinity of the Curie temperature, the thermal conductivity shows anomalous behaviour.

    The structure of paraelectric phase of Pb5Ge3O11 was refined by the least squares calculations of single crystal neutron diffraction data at 200°C. Final R value was 0.08 and the type of phase transition was determined as displacive one. The existence of unstable oxygen atom which is lying on the mirror plane perpendicular to the c-axis was found to have relation with the reorientation of GeO4 group. Atomic displacements through the phase transition were evaluated and used for the calculation of the spontaneous polarization for the point charge model. This gave Ps to be 2.0 μC/cm2, a smaller value than the observed one of 4.2 μC/cm2 at room temperature.

    The probabilities per unit time for the configuration of the first layer water molecules co-ordinated to Al+++ in AlCl3 aqueous solution to jump from the Th symmetry to the C2v, symmetry or in the reverse direction are determind semi-empirically, and the quadrupolar relaxation rate of 27Al is calculated. The result is in good agreement with the experimental value. The existence of an inertia effect in the relaxation mechanism is also proved.

    The influence of an impurity atom on the formation process of secondary defects has been presented from a kinetic point of view. A random motion of vacancies is described by the theory of stochastic processes and the transition probabilities are constructed in taking account of crystal structures. The unified point of view for the passage time of vacancies and the lifetime of the complex can be obtained by the concept of the mean first passage time in probability theory and this makes it possible to discuss the existence condition of the complex. In actual calculations, the lattice points are grouped into the shells around an impurity atom and the calculations are performed for two cases of aluminum, in each of which the range of the impurity-vacancy interaction extends to the 1st shell, and to the 2nd shell.

    Optical and thermal bleaching of the V2 and V3 bands were investigated for additively- or electrolytically-colored KI crystals. After V3-light irradiation at 85 K, absorption bands were formed at 430 and 800 nm in company with an increase near the fundamental-absorption edge; while, after the same irradiation at 125 K, the α band and a band with a peak at about 330 nm were formed simultaneously. Changes in intensities among these bands were caused with subsequent optical or thermal treatments; changes in the V2 and V3 bands were always accompanied. Upon irradiation with polarized light, the band at about 330 nm exhibited the [100] anisotropy, whose maximum was shifted to 325 nm. On the assumption that cation vacancies are introduced in halogen-excess crystals, probable models of V centers are discussed and then the photochemical and thermal changes are interpreted by them.

    The irradiation of copper was performed at liquid helium temperature with charged particles, p, α, and carbon ions, from a cyclotron and the increase of electrical resistivity was measured. The ratio of the theoretical resistivity increase evaluated with the Kinchin-Pease model to the experimental one was 3.0 common to three particles, which was smaller by about 20% than that derived from an existing data on deuteron irradiation. The correction for ionization loss made that ratio decrease to 2.5 and the use of the Robinson-Torrens model which contains the direct recombination mechanism, made it decrease to 2.0. This value is quite the same as that for neutron irradiation. The effect of direct recombination adopted in the Robinson-Torrens model is not so drastic in reducing the theoretical value.

    The dielectric constants of Ag-based alloys with a small amount of Zr, Nb and Mo are evaluated from measurements of reflectances and transmittances of thin films prepared by simultaneous evaporation in vacuum for photon energies between 0.55 eV to 5.63 eV. The dc resistivities and the thermoelectric powers of the films are also measured. An additional absorption band due to the presence of the virtual bound state is observed for all alloy systems. The data are compared with the calculation based on the Friedel-Anderson model. The positions of the virtual bound states of the alloys are estimated.

    The plasma edge around 2.7 eV in the reflectance spectrum of (SN)x single crystal for E⁄⁄b-axis polarization shows the blue shift with lowering temperature. The relaxation time of the free electron estimated from the reflectance spectrum at 4.2 K is slightly larger than that of 300 K by the factor of 1.5, resulting in the much smaller temperature dependence of the σopt (conductivity at optical frequency) compared with that of σdc (conductivity at dc). Several models which explain these results are discussed.

    An X-ray study has been made for Rb2Cd2(SO4)3 crystals and the superlattice reflections are found in both ferroelectric phases. The crystal symmetries of the two ferroelectric phases were determined to be monoclinic C22(P21) and triclinic C11(P1) as the temperature was decreased. The lattice parameters were measured as a function of temperature by the Bond method. The cell parameters are determined without consideration of the superlattice structure as a=10.3482±0.0005Å, b=10.3430±0.0005Å, c=10.3475±0.0005Å, β=90.04±0.006° and α=γ=90±0.006° at −150°C, and a=10.3392±0.0005Å, b=10.3330±0.0005Å, c=10.3382±0.0005Å, β=90.038±0.006°, α=89.988±0.006° and γ=89.979±0.006° at −190°C. The phase transition T4–C22 is accompanied by the lattice modulations of two types the periods of which are 2 times and 3 times the spacing.

    The cross sections for electron stripping of hydrogen molecules have been measured at the energies ranging from 0.2 keV to 5.0 keV. The measured cross section varies from 1.1×10−18 cm2 to 8.0×10−17 cm2 for the target of H2 and from 2.2×10−18 cm2 to 2.6×10−16 cm2 for that of N2. In lower energies, the cross sections for H2–H2 collision give remarkably smaller values than those by Peterson et al. which were obtained using the large effective angle (∼10°) in contrast to the small one (∼1°) in the present experiment. This suggests that the differential stripping cross sections are fairly large at scattering angles larger than 1 degree in the energies below 1 keV.
    Present cross sections will be recommended to be used for analysis in the plasma diagnostics with H2 molecules using the apparatus with the small effective angle.

    Leading members of the Lyman series of He II emitted from a high-density helium plasma have been measured by the use of the Rare-gas Photoelectron Counter which is based on the energy analysis of photoelectrons liberated by XUV radiation. Stationary population inversion between low lying levels of He+ is confirmed in a recombining plasma which is interacting with neutral helium. The ratio n2g2 : n3g3 : n4g4 : n5g5 is found to be 1 : 0.6 : 1.1 : 1.2. A method of determining the electron temperature, the electron density and the ion density from the recombination continua is described. Collisional and recombination processes can explain reasonably the observed level populations.

    Using a coaxial double-plasma device of a new type, we excited lower hybrid waves propagating almost perpendicularly to the magnetic field. The dispersion relation of the excited waves agree well with the theoretical value obtained with the warm plasma approximation. These waves were mainly subject to the ion Landau damping, and then the ion energy efficiently increased in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field.

    Spontaneous generation of propagating electromagnetic fields due to a microinstability is investigated for plasmas which convey electron thermal fluxes. The following two cases are examined: 1) Electromagnetic fields spontaneously excited by electrons in a velocity distribution of skewed Maxwellian type. 2) Electromagnetic waves generated by electrons in a velocity distribution which consists of a main part and a high energy part. In this case, the electron thermal flux can be very high. In both cases, induced electromagnetic waves with relatively low frequencies propagate parallel to the direction of Thermal flux.

    The stopping power of plasma for beam electrons was measured by using two different ways. One way was based on the variation of energy spectrum of beam electrons due to the interaction with the plasma and the other was based on the decrease of beam current reaching the collector due to the interaction with the plasma. The value obtained is explained by using quasi-linear equations with frequency spectrum of waves observed experimentally.

    Effect of dissipation on the formation of ion acoustic solitons is investigated by experiments and by numerical calculations. In the experiments, a large amplitude initial perturbation does not evolve into solitons, but into a triangular wave with ripples on a leg when a neutral gas pressure is increased or when a random low frequency noise is superposed. Numerical analyses of the K-dV equation with dissipation terms show that an initial perturbation develops into a triangular wave when the dissipation depends on the wavenumber. Therefore the formation of the triangular wave in the experiment is not due to an increase of collisional damping, but to an increase of collusionless dissipation, i.e. Landau damping resulting from a decrease of the temperature ratio between the electrons and ions.

    The ionization relaxation processes behind shock waves in pure krypton and krypton-argon mixtures have been investigated using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer technique. The incident shock velocity was fixed in the neighborhood of Us=2800 m/sec, and the initial pressure was fixed at 0.95 Torr. The experimental results were compared with theoretical values based on the two-step collisional ionization model taking into account of the wall boundary-layer effect. The slope constants of excitation cross section against relative kinetic energy between krypton atom-atom collisions, krypton atom-electron collisions, and krypton-argon atom - atom collisions were determined to be 4.2×10−19 cm2/eV, 1.2×10−17 cm2/eV, and 4.2×10−19 cm2/eV, respectively.

    On the basis of the variational formulation of thermoelasticity, a melting problem of an elastic solid is discussed. Two variational invariants of thermoelasticity with phase change are introduced and a variational equation is formulated. The method is entirely variational and does not require the evaluation of the temperature field. A parabolic approximation of temperature field is used as a test function and an approximate differential equation of the melting line is formulated. Using Adams-Bashforth’s method this equation provides a series solution.
