An acentric rotation of two helical vortices of the same circulations

The aim of this paper is to test the possibility of a secondary solution of the acentric rotation of helical vortex pairs with the same pitch, sign and strength. The investigation addresses the three-dimensional vortex dynamics of thin vortex filaments. As a result of the current investigation, this secondary solution with acentric vortex positions in the helical pairs is found. This fact was not discussed in previous studies, and the existence of the new equilibrium solution for the helical vortex pairs is an original result.     

Progress in the area of new energy-efficient basic elements for superconducting electronics

This review is devoted to a discussion of the prospects for solving the problem of a low degree of integration of the traditional elements for promising (due to the high performance and extremely low energy dissipation) superconducting digital electronics. We define three main directions on the path to compact multi-element Josephson electronic systems: (1) reduction of the Josephson junction to submicron size, (2) decrease of the area of standard logic cells, and (3) fabrication of a compact and rapid Josephson memory. We present the physical foundations of Josephson elements in order to show the fundamental constraints on establishing standard submicron tunnel contacts and compact logic cells/memory elements. This survey clearly demonstrates the essence of breakthrough technological solutions to create ultrasmall heterostructures with desired settings, reduce and optimize logic cells, and create memory unit cells based on Josephson junctions with magnetic layers.     

Kinetic Study of Propylene Hydrogenation over Pt/Al2O3 by Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization

Parahydrogen-induced polarization has been successfully used for a kinetic study of propylene hydrogenation over a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst. It was shown that the reaction orders with respect to hydrogen are different for the pairwise and the non-pairwise hydrogen addition and are equal to 0.7 and 0.1, respectively. This observation of different reaction orders confirms the coexistence of different types of active sites which are responsible for the overall and the pairwise hydrogen addition to the propylene C=C double bond. Moreover, 0.7 reaction order with respect to H₂ for pairwise hydrogen addition indicates that the contribution of pairwise addition depends on the concentration of molecular hydrogen. Therefore, this observation can be developed into a practical tool for producing fluids with highly polarized nuclear spins by changing the hydrogen concentration.     

Synthesis and Structure of the Heterocyclic Phosphorus Containing Derivatives of [60] Fullerene

Abstract

Data on the structure of cycloadducts of organophosphorus dipolar reagents and fullerenes arc absent, to our knowledge. We died the reactions and the shucturc of cycloadducts of phosphorylated azidcs and nitrile oxide with [60]fullcrcnc. The cycloaddition of diphcnylphosphinic llzide to fullcrme has bcm determined to lead to the 1 -[(N-diphenylphosphoryl)amino]-2-hydroxy[6O]hllcrme (l), the mixhuc of phosphorylated aziridinofullcrcne (2) and derivative of fullerne (3) with one aziridine fragment and one aminohydmxy-fragment, or to product (4), depending on the conditions of don .
