In this paper, aiming at a scalartensor theory with an intermediate-range force, we have derived the metric and equations of motion (EOMs) in the first post- Newtonian (1PN) approximation for general matter without specific equation of state and N point masses firstly. Subsequently, the secular periastron precession ω of binary pulsars in harmonic coordinates is given. After that, ω of four binary pulsars data (PSR B1913+16, PSR B1534+12, PSR J0737-3039 and PSR B2127+11C) have been used to constrain the intermediate-range force, namely, the parameters G and λ. α and λ respectively represent the strength of the intermediate-range force coupling and its length scale. The limits from four binary pulsars data are respectively A = (4.95 ±0.02)× 10^8 m and a = (2.30±0.01)× 10^8 if β = 1, where fl is a parameter like standard parametrized post-Newtonian parameter βPPN. When three degrees of freedom (α, λ and β = β - 1 ) in lσ confidence level are considered, it yields α = (4.21 ±0.01)× 10^4, λ= (4.51 ±0.01)× 10^7 m and β = (-3.30 ±0.01)× 10^-3. Through our research on the scalar-tensor theory with the intermediate-range force, it shows that the parameter α is directly related to the parameter γ (α = (1 - γ)/(1 + γ)). Thus, this presents the constraints on 1 - γ by binary pulsars which is about 10^-4 for three degrees of freedom.展开更多

Besides, investigation of an intermediate-range force has been of considerable interests in gravitational experiments. Inspired by these ideas, within the framework of the scalar-tensor theory with an intermediate- range force, its 2PN approximation is obtained with Chandrasekhar's approach. It includes the 2PN metric and equations of motion for general matter without specific equation of state. The conserved quantities to the 2PN order are isolated with the aid of the energy-momentum complex. We also discuss the prospect of testing and distinguishing the intermediate-range force with the orbital motions of celestial bodies and spaeecrafts.展开更多

Unlike other peaks in the static structure functions, the FSDP has anomalous dependencies on temperature, pressure and composition. Despite the fact that the FSDP is considered as a signature of intermediate range order (IRO) in network-forming glasses and liquids, its structural origin remains unclear and till now, it forms a subject of debate. A brief account for some anomalous characteristics of the FSDP followed by the different controversial interpretations about its structural origin has been reviewed and discussed. Some of the interpretations that seem to be inconsistent with recent experimental results have been ruled out. The most likely structural origins for the occurrence of the FSDP have been highlighted and discussed in details.展开更多
