The dimensionless electron-phonon coupling parameter in alkali metal-doped fullerenes isevaluated in a model whereby the electrons are treated within a tight binding formalism. The phonon mode frequencies and eigenvectors are obtained from a lattice dynamical modelwhich accurately fits all available experimental data on these modes. It is shown that the electrormphonon interaction can account for the relatively high values of the superconducting transition temperatures in alkali-metal fullerenes.

A force constant model for the vibrational modes in C60, based on bond-stretching and anglebending interactions, is presented. The results of this model are compared with the experimental data available from Raman, infrared, and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopies, as well as neutron inelastic scattering measurements. Excellent agreement is obtained between the calculated and experimental mode frequencies. The pressure dependence of the Ramanand infrared-active mode frequencies is calculated within a simple model and is compared to available experimental data.

As an electromagnetic wave propagates through a random scattering medium, such as a forest, its energy is attenuated and random phase fluctuations are induced. The magnitude of the random phase fluctuations induced is important in estimating how well a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can image objects within the scattering medium. The two-layer random medium model, consisting of a scattering layer between free space and ground, is used to calculate the variance of the phase fluctuations induced between a transmitter located above the random medium and a receiver located below the random medium. The scattering properties of the random medium are characterized by a correlation function of the random permittivity fluctuations. The effective permittivity of the random medium is first calculated using the strong fluctuation theory, which accounts for large permittivity fluctuations of the scatterers. The distorted Born approximation is used to calculate the first-order scattered field. A perturbation series for the phase of the received field in the Rytov approximation is then introduced and the variance of the phase fluctuations is solved to first order in the permittivity fluctuations. The variance of the phase fluctuations is also calculated assuming that the transmitter and receiver are in the paraxial limit of the random medium, which allows an analytic solution to be obtained. Results axe compared using the paraxial approximation, scalar Green's function formulation, and dyadic Green's function formulation. The effects studied are the dependence of the variance of the phase fluctuations on receiver location in lossy and lossless regions, medium thickness, correlation length and fractional volume of scatterers, depolarization of the incident wave, ground layer permittivity, angle of incidence, and polarization.

A multiresolution approach to solving one dimensional inverse problems is explored. Inverse problems described by that class of operators which are made sparse under the action of the wavelet transform are considered. Statistically based inversion procedures utilizing multiscale a priori stochastic models are also considered. As a concrete example, a deconvolution problem arising in wellbore induction measurement of conductivity is examined.< >

The finite difference-time domain (FD-TD) technique is applied to the solution of Maxwell's equations. A computer program, which can be used to simulate and study numerous electromagnetic phenomena, is developed and implemented on an IBM 386 compatible personal computer. The FD-TD technique is a useful tool for students in electromagnetics. The technique is flexible and can be applied to many basic EM scattering and radiation problems. Because field solutions are found as a function of time, visualization of the propagation of the EM fields is possible. The FD-TD technique is implemented for a two-dimensional rectangular grid in conjunction with a second-order absorbing boundary condition. Both E- and H-field polarizations are analyzed. Finite objects consisting of dielectric, magnetic and conducting materials, and perfectly conducting infinite ground planes are modeled. Plane wave and line current sources are implemented. In addition to the capability of animating the propagation of the EM fields, radiation and scattering patterns can be generated.

The electronic structures of some possible carbon fibers nucleated from the hemisphere of a bucky ball are presented. A one-dimensional electronic energy band structure model of such carbon fibers, having not only a principal rotational axis but also fibers with screw axes, can be derived by folding the two-dimensional energy bands of graphite. By considering the variation of the fiber diameter and helicity within a simple tight binding model calculation, we show that 1/3 of the fibers are metallic and 2/3 are semiconducting. The effect of adding multiple tubule layers is considered.

The authors propose an algorithm in which multi-mode coding is a transparent adaptation of multi-stage VXC (vector excitation coding) requiring almost zero additional computation. In the process, it is shown how the cost of the jointly optimized multi-stage VXC can be minimized using a backward-transform implementation of the perceptually orthogonal VXC (POVXC) algorithm previously proposed by the authors. It is shown that the performance of such a coder, while not as good as that of a normal multi-mode coder, is noticeably better than that of a normal POVXC.< >

The authors introduce two techniques for improving low-bit-rate CELP (code excited linear prediction) speech coders. The sparse-delta stochastic codebook is a recursive codebook design which can be searched using roughly 5% of the computational load required to search a full Gaussian codebook. Pitch sharpening is a class of algorithms which attempt to improve the perceptual quality of CELP by limiting the feedback of low-amplitude noiselike information to the adaptive codebook. Simulation results are presented for sparse-delta, ternary sparse-delta, and simplified-search sparse-delta coders, and for reduced-gain and sparse-adaptive-codebook pitch sharpening algorithms.< >

The authors review the CELP (code excited linear prediction) coding algorithm, and the efforts recently made for improving the performance and reducing the complexity. The efforts for improving the coding performance have been aimed not only at making the quality better, but also at further reducing the bit rate without degrading the quality. A sparse-delta codebook is introduced as an example of a codebook with a computationally efficient structure. Multimode coding is then described for improving the perceptual quality of CELP at low bit rates.< >
