Axisymmetric multistage cavity resonators

We study theoretically multistage cavity resonators as well as the gyrotrons manufactured on their basis. Coupled cavities with mode conversion and echelette cavities are particular cases of such devices. The possibilities of reducing the diffraction Q-factor of the operating mode of a cavity, with the preservation of its selective properties and significant increase in the gyrotron radiation power, and provision of high efficiency and acceptable heat ohmic load of the cavity at the first harmonic of the gyrofrequency are considered. Achievable parameters of the gyrotrons at the second and third harmonics with typical electron guns and cryomagnetic systems are analyzed.     

Hydrogenation of CO2 conjugated with dehydrogenation of cyclohexane over an intermetallic catalyst

Transformations of carbon dioxide catalyzed by the hydride form of [TiFe_0.95Zr_0.03Mo_0.02]H_x, by the industrial Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst, and by a mixture of the above materials were studied. Study of the thermal desorption of H₂ showed the presence of two forms of absorbed hydrogen, namely, the weakly bound hydrogen, which is evolved from the intermetallic structure on heating to 430 °C under Ar, and the strongly bound hydrogen (SBH), which remains in the intermetallic compound at higher temperatures (up to 700 °C). In a carbon dioxide medium, the SBH enters into selective CO₂ reduction to give CO at 350—430 °C and 10—12 atm. The selectivity of the formation of CO reaches 80—99% for conversion of CO₂ between 50—70%, the SBH being consumed almost entirely for the reduction of CO₂. In the presence of the mixed catalyst, conjugate reactions proceed efficiently; dehydrogenation of cyclohexane yields hydrogen, which is consumed for CO₂ hydrogenation.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine coordinated to the PdII and PtII atoms

The reactions of N-methyl-ortho-phenylenediamine (1) with K₂MCl₄ (M = Pd or Pt) were investigated. At the first stage, the tetraamine dicationic complexes [(C₆H₄(NH₂)(NMeH))₂M]Cl₂ were formed. Oxidation of these compounds with atmospheric oxygen in an alkaline medium afforded the neutral semiquinonediimine complexes [C₆H₄(NH)(NMe)]₂M. The structures of the {[(C₆H₄)(NH₂)(NHMe)]₂Pd}Cl₂ and [C₆H₄(NH)(NPh)]₂Pt complexes were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Thermodynamic parameters of adsorption of adamantane and its derivatives on graphitized thermal carbon black

The adsorption equilibrium constants for adamantane, 1-fluoro-, 1-chloro-, 1,3-difluoro-, 1,3-dichloro-, 1,3-dibromo-, and 1-hydroxyadamantane, and methyl 1-adamantyl ketone were determined by gas chromatography. The results were compared with molecular statistical calculations based on the known atomic-atomic potentials of the interaction of atoms of the sorbate molecule with the C atom of graphitized thermal carbon black (GTCB). The experimental adsorption heats exceed the calculated values by 3-10 kJ mol^-1. The reasons for this divergence are discussed. The changes in the adsorption entropy show that the molecules of the studied compounds form a layer of the ideal dimeric gas on the GTCB surface upon adsorption.     

Markov symmetric stable processes

Using the method of generative processes, we construct a model of a random linear symmetric stable Markov process, which is a natural generalization of the Markov Gaussian process and preserves its main property: invariance with respect to arbitrary linear transformations. Methods for analyzing such processes are developed. In particular, it is proposed to use the information correlation function as a characteristic of the pair dependence between the process values at different times. This function is used to calculate the determination interval of the process. Voronezh State University, Voronezh, Russia.

Measurements of cosmic-ray low-energy antiproton and proton spectra in a transient period of solar field reversal

The energy spectra of cosmic-ray low-energy antiprotons ( *p's) and protons ( p's) have been measured by BESS in 1999 and 2000, during a period covering reversal at the solar magnetic field. Based on these measurements, a sudden increase of the *p/p flux ratio following the solar magnetic field reversal was observed, and it generally agrees with a drift model of the solar modulation.     

Experimental study of a powerful magnetron-injection gun for relativistic gyrodevices

We show that it is possible to increase significantly (up to one-half of the Langmuir value) the current of the electron beam in a magnetron-injection gun operated in the nonadiabatic regime of formation of a relativistic helical electron beam if the velocity spread is small. The obtained beam has a current of 200 A, a velocity spread of about 10%, a pitch factor of about 1, and an electron energy of 340 keV. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radio.zika, Vol. 49, No. 8, pp. 680–685, August 2006.     

Technique of quantum memory on the basis of a photon echo in gases

The technique of quantum memory based on the use of a photon echo in gases is studied theoretically taking into account three-dimensional specific features in the propagation of light fields and the motion of atoms in a gas. Analytical solutions describing the effects of atomic motion and diffraction of light fields on the properties of the quantum state of light being reconstructed are obtained. Estimates of the parameters of light fields that are optimum for realizing the quantum memory based on a photon echo in gaseous media are presented.
