The effects of the interaction between atoms and a laser field on the damping phenomena of the laser system are examined by the perturbational treatment of the rigorous damping theory. Correction terms to the conventional master equation of the laser system are obtained and those to the...

We derive fluctuation theorems for dielectrics with periodic boundary conditions defined by a Bravais lattice in which the configuration of a large number of permanent dipoles in the unit cell is repeated periodically. We use the electrostatic approximation and show that it is essential to...

A special case of the spin system proposed in the previous paper (i.e. the first paper of this series) is considered, which includes the Heisenberg term besides the four-spin coupling. By means of an improved renormalization within the high density expansion method, the formulas for the...

The most important literature data on absolute total cross sections for noble gas systems have been surveyed. A comparison has been made with total cross sections calculated from various interatomic potentials proposed in the literature and with the total cross sections deduced from the long...

The Loschmidt technique has been used to measure the pressure dependence at two temperatures of the binary diffusion coefficients of the systems N2-Ar, N2-O2, O2-Ar and Ar-Kr; gas mixtures were analysed with a mass spectrometer. The results for the first three systems indicate that the first...

We discuss a closed system of field equations for a semipermeable membrane which has particle and heat exchange with its surroundings. In this case we consider a surface with an arbitrary shape for specific quantities and mechanical properties. A representation of the constitutive equations...

In this paper the Green function method of Goossens and Phariseau for isolated strongly localized imperfections is generalized, in order to take into account the relaxation of the environment of the imperfections. Moreover the established formalism is applicable to the cases of a vacancy, a...

Starting from the generalized Gibbs equation of extended irreversible thermodynamics, we define a thermodynamic potential that provides a suitable description of the fluctuations of the hydrodynamical dissipative fluxes when it is used in an expression analogous to the classical Einstein formula...

We discuss the conditions under which a generalized Brownian motion exhibits symmetry with respect to time reversal. We show that such a property is closely related to a property we call ‘radiative balance’, which implies the existence of a state in which both the mechanical system and the...

We apply Kac's method of functional integration to a spatially non-uniform fluid with short and long-range interactions. The system with short-range interactions is treated as a reference system to which the long-range pair interaction is added as a perturbation. All equilibrium distribution...
