Influence of the skin effect on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a fine metal particle

The cross section of absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a fine spherical metal particle is calculated. The influence of the skin effect on the absorption cross-section is estimated for an arbitrary ratio between the free path and size of the particle. The results of this work are compared with those obtained earlier in the framework of classical electrodynamics. It is shown that taking into account the kinetic effects modifies essentially the known data for the skin effect in a spherical particle.     

Quantum memory on the basis of photon echo in three-level optically dense gaseous media with the Ξ-configuration of atomic transitions

A new variant of realization of quantum memory based on the use of a photon echo in an optically dense three-level gaseous medium is proposed. The use of a long-lived highly excited optical level as a storage of quantum information is the characteristic feature of the scheme proposed. This scheme of quantum memory is distinguished by reduced optical noises owing to the possibility of realizing temporal, spectral, and spatial selection of weak quantum radiation relative to the accompanying laser pulsed fields.     

Theoretical and experimental investigation of x-band two-cavity gyroklystron

Using self-consistent field theory, the interaction of electron flow with HF fields in a gyroklystron has been analized. Optimal parameters of its output cavity corresponding to the maximum efficiency have been found. Experimental study of dependence of the efficiency on Q-factor and length of the output cavity has been carried out. The results of simulation are in good qualitative agreement with experimental data.     

Radiofrequency muon depolarization in the muonium + nuclear spin system

The effect of a considerable strengthening of muon depolarization in ALC resonance experiments was predicted for the muonium + nuclear spin system in the presence of a radiofrequency field. A mathematical approach was developed for obtaining analytic solutions that described the muon spin dynamics in ALC experiments, including a particular exact solution that contained much information about the system studied in fairly low magnetic radiofrequency fields. An analysis of these solutions and numerical calculations allowed us to comprehensively analyze muon depolarization patterns in a radiofrequency field. The results reveal the potential of muon depolarization strengthening for considerably increasing the sensitivity of experimental studies of muonium interactions with neighboring nuclear spins and for obtaining new spectroscopic information.     

Tetraphenylantimony carboxylates in the cascade Pd-catalyzed C-phenylation reaction of methyl acrylate in the presence of peroxide

Tetraphenylantimony(V) carboxylates have been used in the palladium-catalyzed C-phenylation reaction of methyl acrylate in the presence of (PhCO₂)₂ or t-BuOOH under mild conditions (50 °C). The peroxides promote a cascade participation of the organoantimony compound and result in the transfer of three phenyl groups. Organoantimony intermediates have been isolated from the reaction.     

Investigations of Advanced Coaxial Gyrotrons at IAP RAS

Main results of experimental testing of the 140 GHz/1.5 MW coaxial gyrotron are summarized. High selective properties of the coaxial cavities and a possibility to increase considerably the efficiency of a coaxial gyrotron only by applying independently an appropriate voltage on its electrodes (without any design modification) have been confirmed. Successful uses of the two-potential connection scheme for the frequency step tuning and output power modulation in a coaxial gyrotron has been also demonstrated.
