Improvement of accuracy of interferometric measurement of wedge angle of plates

A method is proposed for improving the accuracy of measuring the wedge angle of transparent plates using a lateral-shear holographic interferometer. Consecutive processing of a pair of interferograms with doubled number of interference fringes leads to reduction of the observational error by a factor of two compared to traditional interferometric methods. Data on the experimental validation of the method are presented.     

Simulation of the superlinearity of dose characteristics of thermoluminescence of anion-defective aluminum oxide

The specific features revealed in the superlinearity of dose dependences of thermoluminescence of anion-defective aluminum oxide single crystals have been considered theoretically in terms of the model of an interactive trap system. The model explains the decrease in the degree of superlinearity at a low heating rate, as well as with an increase in the dose increment, the occupancy of deep traps, and the sensitivity of the crystals to radiation due to the increase in the concentration of luminescence centers. The obtained results indicate a widening of the possibilities of the model for interpreting experimental data in the investigation of the dose characteristics of thermoluminescence of the studied crystals.     

Measurement of degree of polarization of fluorescence of pure anthracene crystalline film

The polarization ratio (I _b/I_a) of fluorescence of a monocrystalline film of pure anthracene is measured correcting for all probable errors. Comparison with decay-time data brings out that deviation from the value obtained from absorption measurements is due to a loss of intensity in the a-polarized fluorescence as compared to what is expected from absorption data. This is interpreted as an evidence that anthracene crystal fluorescence is emitted from regions of local lattice imperfections. It is confirmed that the first electronic transition takes place along the short axis of the anthracene molecule.     

Role of interactions of triplets of atoms in the formation of elastic properties of cubic crystals

It is widely known that the interaction of triplets of particles (which are not reducible to the sum of pair interactions) play an important role in formation the nonlinear and anisotropic properties of crystals. The aim of this work is to establish a general form of the dependence of these properties on interactions of triplets of atoms that is dependent only on the structure of the crystals. To separate the interactions of triplets of atoms from those of quadruples, we assume that the energy of triplets of interacting atoms depends only on the characteristics of a triangle whose vertices are the centers of gravity of interacting atoms. In this model, the internal energy must therefore be invariant upon rearrangement of the numbers of interacting atoms and any rotation of the triangle in isotropic space, P(3) × O(3). To specify the form of energy dependence on characteristics of selected triangles, we constructed an integral rational basis of invariants in dependence on the components of the vectors connecting the vertices of each triangle. Using the example of a simple dependence of the energy on basic invariants, we show how to move from the assumed energy dependence on invariants to the dependence of energy on lattice sums.

The distributions of zeros of the partition function of lattice gas models of Fisher (at some temperature) and of Temperley are obtained. The former is a closed loop crossing the real axis and the latter is a part of the negative real axis.     

X-ray interferometric method of determination of parameters of permolecular structure of polymers

A new method for determining the density of polymer materials based on determination of the path-length differences in moiré patterns is proposed. The method is characterized by simplicity and accuracy of results. The densities of polychloropren and polystirol have been determined with high accuracy. Knowledge of the dependence of the polymer density on the stretching degree enables one to reveal the dynamics of changes in the permolecular structure at deformation of polymers.     

Application of new methods of interpretation of meteor observations at the Institute of Astrophysics of Tajikistan

New methods of interpretation of meteor observations were developed and published in [1?C9]. The interpretation of ground-based observations of meteors and bolides available today in the scientific literature all over the world suffers from serious contradictions. Observers use the so-called photometric approach for determination of extra-atmospheric masses of meteoric bodies. This approach is based on the formula proposed in 1933 [10] and very simple ideas of how to describe the interaction between the atmospheric air and the surface of a meteoric body. These ideas are provisionally suitable to describe the flow around a body in a free molecular regime. Subsequently, the photometric approach was applied to all the meteor events including bolides. The main effort aimed to elaborate the approach included a choice of new formulas for the radiative efficiency.     

Calculation of energy characteristics of adsorption of metals

Within the framework of the electron density functional, a technique is developed for calculation of the adsorption energy and variation in the electron work function for metal substrates due to metal atom adsorption. The corrections to the local density approximation, which are associated with non-uniformity of the electron density in the subsurface region and discontinuous ion charge distribution over the crystal lattice sites, are included into consideration. It is shown that adsorption of alkali metal atoms results in lower electron work function, while that of transition metals (cobalt, iron, and chromium) might both decrease and increase the electron work function. Formation of a variety of adsorption structures from metal atoms depending on the temperature is discussed. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 14–19, July, 2007.     

Rectangularity of hysteresis loop of ferrites as a function of volume of reverse domains in state of remanence

A study is made of the dependence of the coefficient of rectangularity of the hysteresis loop of ferrites of the Li-Mn-Mg and Mg-Mn-Zn system on the volume concentration of residual reverse domains. The latter is calculated from the results of measurements of the relative remanence on the basis of a model developed. It is shown that a high degree of loop rectangularity can be attained not only in the absence of reverse domains but also in the presence of a considerable volume concentration of such domains.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 109–114, June, 1978.
