Aim To study the dIelectric breakdown phenomenon in the materials with quenched disorder. Methods Renormolization group methods were used. Results The percolation limit for breakdown pc , the breakdown field Ec～(Pc-p)v, and the fractal dimension of the structure of dielectric breakdown df were obtained. Conclusion The breakdown properties of the materials with quenched disorder are characterized by universal power laws, where the exponents are universal.
To investigate the interaction of a mesoscopic Josephson junction with a single mode quantized electromagnetic field, the diagnonalizing process of the coupled system Hamiltonian was performed by using an unitary transformation. Zero? point energy and zero? point fluctuation of the coupled system were shown. For the ground state of the coupled system, the quantum fluctuations of the flux and charge operators in the field and junction subsystems can exhibit smaller quantum noise than the zero point fluctuations of the individual subsystems. Thus, when the coupled system is in its lowest energy state, which means that no radiation appear, the two subsystems exhibit nonclassical behavior.
