The frequency (ν = 10^?1–10⁷ Hz) dependences σ(ν) of the conductivity of single crystals of the Pb_0.67Cd_0.33F₂ superionic conductor with the fluorite-type structure (CaF₂) in the temperature range of 132–395 K have been studied. The dependences σ(ν) have been discussed in the framework of the hopping relaxation of ionic carriers, which are mobile anions F^?. From experimental curves σ(ν), the direct-current (dc) conductivity σ_dc and the average charge carrier hopping frequency ν_h have been determined. This has made it possible to calculate the charge carrier mobility μ_mob and charge carrier concentration n _mob in these crystals. At room temperature (293 K), the electrical parameters are σ_dc = 1.6 × 10^?4 S/cm, ν_h = 2.7 × 10⁷ Hz, μ_mob = 2.0 × 10^?7 cm²/(s V), and n _mob = 5.1 × 10²¹ cm^?3.     

Emission characteristics and parameters of tin and CuSbSe2 laser plumes

The emission characteristics and parameters of laser plumes of tin and CuSbSe₂ compound are studied at distances of 1 and 7 mm from the target. The recombination times of singly and doubly charged tin ions are, respectively, 116 and 27 ns at a distance of 1 mm from the target and 148 and 64 ns at a distance of 7 mm. In the case of the CuSbSe₂ compound, the recombination times of antimony and copper ions are determined to be, respectively, 60 and 75 ns at a distance of 1 mm and 707 and 976 ns at a distance of 7 mm. The time-averaged temperatures and concentrations of electrons of the tin laser plasma are determined at a distance of 7 mm from the target (T _e = 0.42 eV and n _e = 2.9 × 10¹⁵ cm^?3), and the same parameters for the laser plasma based on the CuSbSe₂ compound are determined at distances of 1 and 7 mm from the target (T _e = 0.62 eV, n _e = 1.4 × 10¹⁶ cm^?3 and T _e = 0.86 eV, n _e = 8.4 × 10¹⁵ cm^?3).     

Plasma-volume generation of H<Superscript>−</Superscript> ions in a low-voltage xenon-hydrogen discharge. II

A low-voltage xenon-hydrogen discharge is considered theoretically at an interelectrode distance of L = 1 cm and cathode emission current densities of j _s = 2–20 A/cm². Basic parameters of the discharge plasma, in particular, the total hydrogen and xenon densities, are optimized to attain the maximum possible density of negative hydrogen ions \(N_{H^ - } (L)\) at the plasma-anode boundary. The distributions of the plasma parameters over the discharge gap are calculated for optimized regimes. According to calculations, at intermediate cathode emission current densities (j _s ≈ 5–10 A/cm²) in optimized discharge regimes, the density of negative hydrogen ions in the anode region of the plasma is \(N_{H^ - } (L)\) ≈ (1.5–2.5) × 10¹² cm^?3 and the total plasma pressure is p ₀ = 0.5–0.6 Torr.     

Two-dimensional electron-hole system in a HgTe-based quantum well

A two-dimensional electron-hole system consisting of light high-mobility electrons with a density of N _s = (4–7) × 10¹⁰ cm^?2 and a mobility of μ _n = (4–6) × 10⁵ cm²/V s and heavier low-mobility holes with a density of P _s = (0.7–1.6) × 10¹¹ cm^?2 and a mobility of μ _p = (3–7) × 10⁴ cm²/V s has been discovered in a quantum well based on mercury telluride with the (013) surface orientation. The system exhibits a number of specific magnetotransport properties in both the classical magnetotransport (positive magnetoresistance and alternating Hall effect) and the quantum Hall effect regime. These properties are associated with the coexistence of two-dimensional electrons and holes.

The pure rotational Raman spectrum of ¹¹BF₃ has been photographed. Great care was taken in the analysis to consider all the unresolved components under each observed Raman line profile. If this is ignored, systematic errors result. The final set of molecular constants obtained was B₀ = 0.34502(±3 × 10^?5)cm^?1, D_J = 4.38(±0.10) × 10^?7cm^?1, and D_JK = ?9.1(±1.0) × 10^?7cm^?1.     

Small-angle neutron scattering study of radiation defects in synthetic quartz

The superatomic structure of synthetic quartz single crystals with dislocation densities ρ = 54 and 570 cm^?2 was studied in the initial state and after irradiation with fast neutrons with energies E _n > 0.1 MeV in a WWRM reactor (St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute) in the fluence range F = 0.2 × 10¹⁷?5.0 × 10¹⁸ neutrons/cm². Weak irradiation with F = 0.2 × 10¹⁷ neutrons/cm² causes only slight structural changes, whereas appreciable generation of defects with radii of gyration r _g ～ 1–2 nm and R _G ～ 40–50 nm occurs at F = 7.7 × 10¹⁷?5.0 × 10¹⁸ neutrons/cm². As the fluence increases further, the number and volume fraction of point defects, as well as extended (channels ～2 nm in radius) and globular (amorphous phase nuclei) defects, increase.

Analysis of the 2ν3 band of 12CD3F at 5.06 μm recorded under high resolution

The 2ν₃(A₁) band of ¹²CD₃F near 5.06 μm has been recorded with a resolution of 20–24 × 10^?3 cm^?1. The value of the parameter (α^B ? α^A) for this band was found to be very small and, therefore, the K structure of the R(J) and P(J) manifolds was unresolved for J < 15 and only partially resolved for larger J values. The band was analyzed using standard techniques and values for the following constants determined: ν₀ = 1977.178(3) cm^?1, B″ = 0.68216(9) cm^?1, D″_J = 1.10(30) × 10^?6 cm^?1, α^B = (B″ ? B′) = 3.086(7) × 10^?3 cm^?1, and β^J = (D″_J ? D′_J) = ?3.24(11) × 10^?7 cm^?1. A value of α^A = (A″ ? A′) = 2.90(5) × 10^?3 cm^?1 has been obtained through band contour simulations of the R(J) and P(J) multiplets.

B′) = 8.823(12) × 10^?4 cm^?1, β^J = (D″_J ? D′_J) = 0, and α^C = (C″ ? C′) = 4.5(5) × 10^?4 cm^?1.     

Generation of coherent phonons in ruby

In conditions of inversion of spin-level populations at T = 1.7° K the resonant stationary coherent phonon emission has been revealed in ruby at frequency ν = 9.12 GHz. The intensity of emission is I_S ≈ 10^?6 W·cm^?2. The frequency spectrum consists of very narrow lines generated simultaneously on several modes of hypersonic ruby cavity. Monochromatism of emission in each line is Δν/ν ? 2 × 10^?6. The spectrum nature permits to suppose the levelwidth of elementary spin excitation to be Δν_s < 3 × 10⁵ Hz, i.e. at least 2–3 orders it is narrower than the inhomogeneously broadened resonant line in ruby. The lifetime of resonant phonons in ruby was defined: τ = 7 × 10^?6 sec.     

Autosolitons in electron-hole plasma in p-Ge

The self-organization of an electron-hole plasma (EHP) heated by an electric field in pure p-Ge samples at T = 77 K has been studied experimentally. The derived current-voltage characteristics (CVCs) and the distributions of the electric field and IR emission of the hot carriers along the samples show that the segments of a steep rise or the S-shaped segments of the CVCs in samples with n-p junctions are related to the formation of longitudinal thermal-diffusion autosolitons (AS_‖); as a result, thin (d = 2–20 μm in diameter), melted-through current channels appear. Such AS_‖ are formed at high EHP densities (n ≥ 1 × 10¹⁶ cm⁻³), when the electron-hole scattering is dominant, and at electron temperatures T _e = (2–4.5)T ₀ (T ₀ is the lattice temperature). The saturation segments and the N-shaped segments in the CVCs are attributable to the generation of transverse thermal-diffusion high-field autosolitons (AS_⊥) in the form of narrow strata with electric field strengths = 1–20 kV cm⁻¹. High-field AS_⊥ are formed at EHP densities n = 5 × 10¹³−1 × 10¹⁶ cm⁻³, when the electron-phonon scattering is dominant, and at electron temperatures T _e ∼ Θ ≥ 5T ₀ (Θ is the Debye temperature). The generated longitudinal and transverse autosolitons have high temperatures (T _e ≥ 1000 K) and reduced carrier densities and can exist simultaneously in different parts of the sample.

Ethane spectrum between 1940 and 2152 cm−1: Ground state parameters

The absorption spectrum of ethane was recorded between 1940 and 2152 cm^?1 at a resolution of 0.025 cm^?1. Ground state parameters were determined from the principal band in this region, ν₉ + ν₁₂(E_u): B₀ = 0.6630353 cm^?1, D₀^J = 1.0406 × 10^?6 cm^?1, D₀^JK = 2.575 × 10^?6 cm^?1 (standard errors are 7, 8, and 13, respectively, in the last digits quoted). The quoted values are from the analyses of 269 ground state combination differences, the standard deviation of the least-squares analysis was 0.0032 cm^?1.     

Electrical properties of proton conducting solid biopolymer electrolytes based on starch–chitosan blend

Two systems (salted and plasticized) of starch–chitosan blend-based electrolytes incorporated with ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) are prepared via solution cast technique. The incorporation of 25 wt% NH₄Cl has maximized the room temperature conductivity of the electrolyte to (6.47?±?1.30)?×?10^?7 S cm^?1. Conductivity is enhanced to (5.11?±?1.60)?×?10^?4 S cm^?1 on addition of 35 wt% glycerol. The temperature dependence of conductivity for all electrolytes is Arrhenian, and the value of activation energy (E _a ) decreases with increasing conductivity. Conductivity is found to be influenced by the number density (n) and mobility (μ) of ions. The complexation between the electrolytes components is proven by Fourier transform infrared analysis. The relaxation time (t _r ) for selected electrolytes is found to decrease with increasing conductivity and temperature. Conduction mechanism for the highest conducting electrolyte in salted and plasticized systems is determined by employing Jonscher’s universal power law.     

Diffusion of hydrogen and deuterium on the (111) plane of tungsten

The diffusion of ¹H and ²H on the (111) plane of a W field emitter has been studied by the fluctuation method at various coverages. Both activated and unactivated diffusion is observed; the latter shows very little isotope effect, suggesting that coupling to the substrate is so strong that mass renormalization makes the effective masses of ¹H and ²H nearly identical. Values of D in the tunneling, i.e. temperature independent, regime are 10^?13?5 × 10^?14 cm²/s depending on coverage. For activated diffusion at high coverages, corresponding to population of the β₁ state E = 2.4?3.2 kcal/mol and D₀ = 2 × 10^?8 ?5 × 10^?7 cm²/s, depending on coverage. For lower coverages, corresponding to β₂ population, E = 7–9 kcal/mol, D₀ = 9 × 10^?6 ?2 × 10^?3 cm²/s, again depending on coverage. Similar values are obtained for ²H, with E and D₀ values slightly reduced. An exponentially decaying correlation signal for clean W was also seen and interpreted in terms of flip-flop of W atoms.     

Di-urethanesil hybrid electrolytes doped with Mg(CF3SO3)2

Two siloxane-based di-urethanesil frameworks incorporating poly(oxyethylene) (POE) chains have been synthesized by the sol–gel process and doped with magnesium triflate (Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂) with the goal of developing electrolytes for the fabrication of solid-state rechargeable magnesium batteries. In these matrices, short POE chains are covalently bonded to the siloxane network via urethane linkages. The xerogels have been represented by the notation d-Ut(Y) _n Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂, where Y?=?300 and 600 represents the average molecular weight of the POE chains and n stands for salt composition (molar ratio of OCH₂CH₂ units per Mg²⁺). Xerogels with compositions ranging from 2?≤?n?<?∞ were prepared. A crystalline POE/Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ complex of unknown stoichiometry is formed in the d-Ut(300) _n Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ materials with n?≤?6 and in the d-Ut(600) _n Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ materials with n?≤?5. The organically modified silicate electrolytes with the highest conductivity of the d-Ut(300) _n Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ and d-Ut(600) _n Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ series are the samples with n?=?6 (3.9?×?10^?8 S cm^?1 at 26 °C and 8.7?×?10^?5 S cm^?1 at 97 °C) and n?=?100 (2.63?×?10^?7 S cm^?1 at 20 °C and 1.4?×?10^?5 S cm^?1 at 85 °C), respectively. Since the electrolytes for Mg batteries that have been proposed up to now have many intrinsic problems and although the room temperature conductivity values exhibited by the systems developed in the present study are still low in view of practical application, this work opens new directions for the development of solid-state Mg ion electrolytes.     

Growth,spectral and laser properties of Nd3+:Na2La4(WO4)7 crystal

A Nd³⁺:Na₂La₄(WO₄)₇ crystal with dimensions of ? 17 × 30 mm³ was grown by the Czochralski method. The thermal expansion coefficients of Nd³⁺:Na₂La₄(WO₄)₇ crystal are 1.32 × 10^?5 K^?1 along c-axis and 1.23 × 10^?5 K^?1 along a-axis, respectively.

The emission cross sections are 3.19 × 10^?20 cm² for σ-polarization and 2.67 × 10^?20 cm² for π-polarization at 1,064 nm. The fluorescence quantum efficiency is 67 %. The quasi-cw laser of Nd³⁺:Na₂La₄(WO₄)₇ crystal was performed. The maximum output power is 80 mW. The slope efficiency is 7.12 %. The results suggest Nd³⁺:Na₂La₄(WO₄)₇ crystal as a promising laser crystal fit for laser diode pumping.     

Spin-spin interaction of Dy3+ ions in KY(WO4)2

The spin-spin interaction of Dy³⁺ ions in a KY(WO₄)₂ single crystal is investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at a temperature of 4.2 K and a frequency of 9.2 GHz. The EPR spectra of ion pairs located in different coordination shells are analyzed. It is revealed that the considerable contribution to the spin-spin interaction of the nearest neighbor ion pair nn is made not only by the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction but also by the isotropic exchange interaction with the parameter I _nn = (+601 ± 17) × 10^?4cm^?1. The exchange interaction in pairs of more widely spaced ions is substantially weaker: I _5n = (?38 ± 3) × 10^?4cm^?1 and I _9n = (+18 ± 4) × 10^?4cm^?1. For the other ion pairs, the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction dominates. It is found that the EPR spectra of single ions and ion pairs exhibit a superhyperfine structure associated with tungsten nuclei.     

High resolution Raman spectroscopy of gases with laser sources. The rotational spectrum of cyanuric fluoride-C3N3F3

The pure rotational Raman spectrum of cyanuric fluoride vapor was photographed using a high resolution plane grating spectrograph. The spectrum was excited with the $\text{λ = 4880}\text{A}\text{?}$ radiation emitted by a single-mode argon-ion laser. Two sets of molecular constants were determined from the R and S branches. The preferred results are those determined from the S-branch data. These are: B₀ = 0.0655954 ± 14 × 10^?7 cm^?1, D_J = (2.52 ± 0.17) × 10^?9 cm^?1 and H_J = (?1.59 ± 0.59) × 10^?14 cm^?1, where the uncertainties are one standard deviation. Possible effects of line shifts due to unresolved K structure and the presence of hot bands on the accuracy of the values of the molecular constants are discussed. The B₀ value is compared to the rotation constant computed with the structural parameters determined with the electron diffraction technique; the agreement between these two rotation constants is only fair.
