MAIN SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS
1. The
quantum l/f noise effects. These
simple and fundamental effects explain l/f noise as a universal infrared
divergence phenomenon. According to this
theory, any current I with infrared-divergent coupling to a system of
infraquanta must exhibit l/f noise with a spectral density of fractional
fluctuations of 2a/pfN (coherent quantum 1/f effect observed in large samples,
devices or systems) or 2aA/fN (conventional quantum 1/f effect observed in
small devices or systems). Here N is the
number of carriers in the sample used for the definition of the current I. For electric currents, taking the photons as
infraquanta, we get a quantum l/f noise contribution with a= l/l37 the fine
structure constant. Finally, aA =
(2a/3p)(Dv/c)2 is the
infrared exponent, essentially the quadratic velocity change in the process
considered, in units of the speed of light.
The quantum l/f noise effects are of fundamental nature
because they assert that the elementary cross sections and process rates of
physics, engineering, or chemistry and biology must fluctuate with a l/f
spectral density. Since the error of a
l/f-noise limited measurement does not depend on the duration of the
experiment, these cross sections and process rates are fundamentally uncertain
by an amount of the order of the applicable infrared radiative corrections, unless
the number N of scattered particles simultaneously present and defining the
scattered current is lar-ge (which is often not practical). The fluctuations of
the elementary cross sections cause fluctuations of kinetic coef-ficients such
as the mobility of current carriers, the conductivity and resistance of the
sample or device considered.
The theory has been verified in many ways: l/f noise was found experimentally to be
caused by mobility fluctuations, not carrier concentration fluctuations, and the
magnitude and temperature dependence was shown to agree with the measurements
in submicron metal films and vacuum tubes.
Furthermore, l/f fluctuations in the rate of a-radioactive decay,
predicted by the theory in l975 have been verified experimentally, recently
also for b-decay. Additional evidence
comes from l/f noise in frequency standards and in SQUIDS. Finally, the quantum l/f noise theory has
recently been most successful in explaining partition noise in vacuum tubes,
and l/f noise in transistors, p-n junctions and infrared radiation
detectors. It gives the complicated 1/f
noise law in quartz clocks.
This
fundamental law of nature was discovered in 1974-75, emerging from my attempts
to quantize my turbulence theory in order to explain 1/f noise in the absence
of any turbulence-generating instabilities.
Four International Symposia on Quantum 1/f Noise were organized by the
Electrical Engineering Department together with the Microelectronics and
Information Sciences Center of the

Recent articles by other authors are #244-250 and 255-259 in the “Quantum 1/f
Bibliography”.
2. Contributions to the theory of instabilities and turbulence The theory has been verified in many
ways: l/f noise was found experimentally
to be caused by mobility fluctuations, not carrier concentration fluctuations,
and the magnitude and temperature dependence was shown to New types of instabilities,
such as the thermal and magnetic barrier-instabilities have been found by me as
a by-product of the work on l/f noise. I
developed a new magneto-hydrodynamic homogeneous, isotropic, turbulence theory
for the plasma of electrons and holes in a semiconductor, as well as for a
metal, yielding the first rigorously derived universal classical-physical 1/f
spectrum (as was stated by F.N. Hooge), and the classical analog of my present
quantum 1/f effect theory. See papers
7-10, 16, 19, 113, 107, 149 and 155 on
my integrated list of papers. A turbulence
theory for traffic fluctuations was also developed: paper 116.
3. Inclusion
of
spin-orbit effects into the index of
refraction formalism for slow
neutrons. This problem challenged me, because it was
considered untreatable in Garching/Munich; the index of refraction depends only
on the forward scattering amplitude, and this is zero for spin-orbit
scattering! I thus explained for the
first time the observed asymmetries in neutron guides. See papers 18, 21 and 22 on my integrated
list of papers.
4. The many-body theory of static electrification in clouds
and thunderclouds, based on a new type of polarization catastrophe in
mixtures of phases containing H2O aggregates, and on the
hindered-ferroelectric properties of ice.
This theory is in the process of gaining general acceptance. It explains
for the first time the ultimate cause of lightning. For the first time it explains both terrestrial atmospheric
electricity and the electrification processes leading to lightning in Saturn's
rings in a unified way. See Papers 72,
68, 52 and 138 on my integrated list of papers (ILP).
5. The solution of the "Excess
Heat" paradox in
electrolysis. (Solution of the
"Cold Fusion" paradox). I
obtained this solution by introducing a new "thermo-electrochemical
effect", and proving that the electrolytic cell works as a thermoelectric
heat pump, transporting arbitrarily large amounts of low grade heat from the
environment into the electrolytic cell.
It renormalizes electrochemical data and tables, such as
Landolt-Börnstein: Tables of Physical Data, Sixth Edition, Springer
Verlag. See papers 142, and also 23,
125, 128 in ILP.
6. The solution of the "Excess Heat" paradox
in the "Patterson Cell"
and discovery of a new heat pump effect.
The thermo-electromechanical effect explains the larger access heat in
electro-osmosis and in the “Patterson cell”.
7. The
Maser-Soliton Theory of Ball Lightning. This theory, accepted in general today,
is related to Kapitsa's theory and describes ball lightning as an atmospheric
maser of several cubic miles, feeding a localized solitonic field state. This provides us with a new type of
high-frequency discharge, with many industrial applications. (See papers 158,
110, 123, 133, 139, 157 on my integrated list of papers, as well as
presentations 14 and 15).
8. The
universal cause of fundamental 1/f noise spectra. This cause was proven
to be the idempotent property of the 1/f spectral form with respect to
autoconvolution in 1980, and was reformulated in the practically useful
equivalent form of a Universal Sufficient Criterion for the presence of a 1/f
spectrum in any homogeneous (h) nonlinear (n) system which exhibits
fluctuations. This rigorous mathematical
criterion is easy to apply and means that symbolically h + n = 1/f. See
papers 113, 107, 149, 155, 159, 162 and 163 in my integrated list of papers.
9. Two
Relativistic Rocket Optimization Theorems.
These allow for a) a faster approach to the speed of light and b) a more
reasonable use of fuel in future intergalactic missions. See # 1 in the integrated list of papers.
10. Discovery
of the 1/Q4-Type of Phase Noise and Improvement of the Leeson
Formula.
Peter H
Handel: CV
Page 7
This provides
for the first time a correct, simple and reliable formula for phase noise in
resonators, oscillators, and high-tech resonant systems of any type. It includes for the first time the author’s
fundamental 1/Q4-mechanism
of up-conversion that is present even in the absence of any
nonlinearities. It is dominant in
highest stability oscillators, resonators and systems. It includes also fundamental 1/f noise, e.g.
quantum 1/f effect found by the author, adding a 1/Q4-term in Leeson’s form.
11. Creation of a new Theory of Divinity, a scientific deeper
understanding of all religions, which uses concepts from mathematics and
physics to define the basic notions exactly on a scientific basis, with
clarity, eliminating mysticism, obscurantism, bigotry and the basis for
religion-caused conflicts. © 2001, 2004.
SYNOPSIS
