Estudaremos uma fam lia de sistemas hamiltonianos no R 4 , H : R 4 R, satisfazendo certas condi c oes, dependendo de um parametro . Iremos ca- racterizar algumas condi c oes sobre n veis de energia desse sistema, que nos permitem concluir existencia e destrui c ao de toros invariantes, em tais n veis de energia. Al em disso, podemos concluir que o fluxo hamiltoniano, restrito a esses n veis de energia, possui entropia topol ogica positiva. / We will study a family of Hamiltonian Systems in R 4 , satisfying certain conditions, H : R 4 R, depending of a parameter . We will characterize some conditions about the energy levels of this system, which allow us to conclude existence and destruction of invariant torus, at such energy levels. Moreover, we can conclude that the hamiltonian flow, restricted to these energy level, has positive topological entropy.

Divalent thulium has been doped into CsCaI₃, CsCaBr₃, CsCaCl₃ and RbCaI₃- a series of AMX₃ salts. Using previously published optical spectra, a series of parameterised energy level calculations have been performed. The calculated energy levels, optimised crystal field parameters and simulated optical absorption spectra are presented. Theoretical predictions yield excellent approximation to the experimental data. Temperature dependent fluorescent lifetimes from the (³F₄,t₂g) and (³H₆,t₂g) excited (emitting) states have been measured using a pulsed dye laser. For CsCaBr₃ and RbCaI₃ doped with Tm²⁺, visible emission for the (³F₄,t₂g) state yields 10 K and 28 K lifetimes of 1.7 μs and 0.40 μs respectively. In both cases no emission is observed at room temperature. Considering direct multiphonon relaxation to the lower lying (³H₆,t₂g) levels, a simple energy gap law well accounts for the measured data with effective phonon energies in the range 100-200 cm⁻¹ - consistent with the phonon density of states in these low phonon energy hosts. Monitoring infrared emission from the (³H₆,t₂g) states, 14 K and 10 K lifetimes of 301 μs and 250 μs are found for CsCaBr₃ and CsCaCl₃ respectively. For CsCaBr₃ this value reduces to 270 μs at 200 K and is not quenched until 300 K, whilst for CsCaCl₃ emission is quenched by 170 K. This temperature dependent behavior is interpreted in terms of internal conversion via configurational crossing between the excited and ground state potential energy surfaces. Fitting the fluorescence lifetime data to a modified Mott equation, it is inferred that the potential barrier for non-radiative relaxation is five times larger in CsCaBr₃ compared to CsCaCl₃. This explains the fact that emission is still observable in the bromide host at room temperature.

This thesis is concerned with theoretical calculations of the properties of electronic bound states in semiconductor heterostructures. The complex band structure empirical pseudopotential method (EPM) is used as the foundation of the work. Spin orbit coupling and strain effects (due to lattice mismatch) are included in familiar ways, as is the transfer matrix method, allowing the study of arbitrarily configured heterostructures. These techniques are used to investigate the unusually deep InAs/AlSb conduction band well. The strong possibility of intraband transitions at electro magnetic wavelengths around 1.55µm is predicted, with corresponding enhanced momentum matrix elements and joint density of states over interband transitions. An InAs/GaSb/AlSb asymmetric well is investigated, paying particular attention to the bound states in the vicinity of the InAs/GaSb band overlap. The electron-like states are found to cross with heavy hole and anti-cross with light hole-like states, as a function of heterostructure dimension or applied electrostatic field. This is analogous to the hybridisation of states in the in-plane band structure, except that for zero in-plane wave vector there can be no appreciable hybridisation of electron and heavy hole states. A technique is described that has been developed to extract envelope functions from heterostructure wavefunctions calculated using the realistic complex band structure EPM approach. These envelope functions conform to Burt’s theory (M. G. Burt, J. Phys.: Condens. Matt. 4, 6651 (1992)) in that they are uniquely defined, continuous and smooth over all space. Comparisons with traditional effective mass envelope functions are made. The extracted envelope functions are used to demonstrate conclusively Burt's predictions (M. G. Burt, Superlatt. Mi- crostruct. 17, 335 (1995)) concerning the inadequacy of certain approximations for the calculation of interband dipole matrix elements and charge oscillation. Finally, the issue of k • p operator ordering is convincingly settled, in favour of 'ordered' over 'symmetrised' Hamiltonians, by comparison to EPM calculations, and using EPM derived k • p parameters.

A completely randomized design was used. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and regression. Dry matter intake (CMS) increased linearly; The consumption of the other nutrients consumed the same behavior, except for the consumption of neutral detergent fiber and acid (NDF and FDA), which were influenced linearly and negatively. (P> 0.001), and positive for the apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), NDF, crude protein (CP), ethereal extract (EE), organic matter (OM) and carbohydrates Non-fibrous (CNF). Final body weights (PCF) were not influenced. However, total and average daily weight gains added 1.16 kg and 9.90 g for each 1% increase in concentrate, respectively. The empty body weight (PCVZ), warm carcass weight (PCARQ) and cold carcass weight (PCARF) responded linearly to the increase in concentrate. The warm carcass yields (RCARQ); Cold carcass yield (RCARF); (GPCVZ) and carcass (GCAR) gains were also influenced positively and linearly, in the same way as carcass deposition efficiency (EDCAR) and carcass deposition rate (TXCAR). The increase in concentrate levels increased the consumption and digestibility of dry matter and other nutrients, improving food efficiency, performance and physical characteristics of the carcass, however, influencing linearly and negatively the economic return. / Objetivou-se investigar a influência do fornecimento de dietas com crescentes níveis de concentrado (17,0; 34,0; 51,0; 68,0) sobre consumo, digestibilidade, desempenho, características físicas e de comercialização da carcaça de 25 novilhos mestiços de raças leiteiras, sem grau de sangue definido, em confinamento. Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Os dados foram submetidos a análises de variância e regressão. O consumo de matéria seca (CMS) aumentou linearmente; o consumo dos demais consumos dos nutrientes seguiu o mesmo comportamento, com exceção dos consumos de fibra em detergente neutro e ácido (FDN e FDA), que foram influenciados linear e negativamente. Foi verificada influência linear, altamente significativa (P>0,001), e positiva para os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca, (MS), FDN, proteína bruta (PB), extrato etéreo (EE), matéria orgânica (MO) e carboidratos não fibrosos (CNF). Os pesos corporais finais (PCF) não foram influenciados. No entanto, os ganhos de peso total e médio diário acrescentaram 1,16 Kg e 9,90 g para cada aumento de 1% de concentrado, respectivamente. O peso de corpo vazio (PCVZ), peso de carcaça quente (PCARQ) e peso de carcaça fria (PCARF) responderam linearmente ao aumento de concentrado. Os rendimentos de carcaça quente (RCARQ); rendimento de carcaça fria (RCARF); ganhos de peso corporal vazio (GPCVZ) e de carcaça (GCAR) também foram influenciados positiva e linearmente, da mesma forma que a eficiência de deposição de carcaça (EDCAR) e taxa de deposição de carcaça (TXCAR). O acréscimo dos níveis de concentrado aumentou o consumo e digestibilidade da matéria seca e demais nutrientes, melhorando a eficiência alimentar, o desempenho e as características físicas da carcaça, no entanto, influenciando linear e negativamente o retorno econômico.
