Surface electromagnetic waves at the interface between two dielectric superlattices

The electrodynamic properties of the interface between two periodic dielectric superlattices are studied. It is shown that the interface may serve as a guide for an electromagnetic wave whose field decays exponentially on both sides of the plane of the interface. The field and power flux distributions, as well as the frequency dependence of the field penetration depth, are studied.     

Dispersion and instability of electromagnetic waves in layered periodic semiconductor structures

The effect of carrier drift on the dispersive properties and instability of electromagnetic waves and plasma polaritons in infinite layered periodic semiconductors are considered. It is assumed that in similar semiconductor layers, carriers drift parallel to the interfaces. Drift waves are shown to have a specific band structure of the spectrum. The dispersive properties of collective plasma polaritons under drift are considered, the instability of the polaritons and drift waves is studied, and the instability increments are determined.     

Dispersion properties of a periodic semiconductor structure in a magnetic field directed along the periodicity axis

The band spectrum of natural waves in a periodic structure formed by alternating dielectric and semiconductor layers is investigated for the propagation of waves at some angle with respect to a magnetic field applied along the periodicity axis. A method is presented for deriving a dispersion equation, and its properties are analyzed numerically. It is shown that, in the absence of dissipation, there are two independent spectra of natural waves in the structure being considered, and the regions of existence of various types of such waves are classified. It is established that the transmission bands of the two spectra may supplement one another or overlap. It is found that, for the chosen magnetic-field direction, there exist numerous bands of transmission of cyclotron waves.     

Fractal analysis of RF signals scattered by small-scale ionospheric irregularities

The fractal dimension as a characteristic of an experimental data series is considered. The correlation integral method is used for dimension calculation. It is shown that by the fractal dimension one can identify a variety of ionospheric processes even when the conventional spectral analysis fails. It is found that the realizations corresponding to volume scattering by natural and artificial irregularities have finite dimension, which is significantly different. A technique for preparing experimental data to be processed by the correlation integral method is developed. The influence of the data sampling rate and signal-to-noise ratio on the dimension is analyzed.Radioastronomical Institute, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Khar'kov.

ESR study of ordered Ti(III) clusters in frozen solutions

The ESR spectrum of exchange-coupled Ti³⁺ ions of gg_e has been observed in dissolution products of metallic titanium in HCl, evidencing the formation of chloride clusters of mutually ordered Ti³⁺ ions in d_z2-ground state in distorted tetrahedral coordination. The cooperative Jahn-Teller effect (CJTE) defines orbital ordering of the d¹ of Ti³⁺ ions in the cluster.     

Mechanism of isotope exchange of dihydrogen with liquid ammonia catalyzed, by amide ions

The interacting bonds method (IBM) has been used for the analysis of hydrogen bonds in liquid ammonia, including estimates of the resonance components of the H=bonds of ammonia molecules with ammonium and amide ions. According to the E_a estimates for the interaction of a hydrogen molecule with an amide-ammonia solution (AAS) and the data on liquid ammonia structure, a kinetic mechanism for isotope exchange (IE) of hydrogen with liquid ammonia is formulated.

Chemiluminescence in O2 oxidation of organosodium compounds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and benzophenone

Chemiluminescence (CL) in oxidation of organosodium compounds by O₂ in THF was studied. Emitters of CL are excited complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, excimers¹(R·R)^*. The mechanism of their formation was proposed. The Na⁺, R^.−+O₂ CL system is a unique source for the selective generation of excimers of aromatic hydrocarbons. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Generation of fullerenyl radicals and chemiluminescence in the (C<Subscript>60</Subscript>—R<Subscript>3</Subscript>Al)—O<Subscript>2</Subscript> system

Fullerenyl radicals (FR) RC₆₀ ^· and chemiluminescence (CL) are generated in the presence of O₂ in C₆₀—R₃Al (R = Et, Buⁱ) solutions in toluene (T = 298 K). The FR are formed due to the addition of the R^· radical, which is an intermediate of R₃Al autooxidation, to C₆₀. Mass spectroscopy and HPLC were used to identify Et_nC₆₀H_m (n, m = 1–6), Et_pC₆₀ (p = 2–6), and dimer EtC₆₀C₆₀Et as stable products of FR transformations. As found by ESR, the EtC₆₀ ^· radical (g = 2.0037) is also generated by photolysis of solutions obtained after interaction in the (C₆₀— R₃Al)—O₂ system. In the presence of dioxygen, the FR is not oxidized but yields complexes with O₂, which appear as broadening of the ESR signals. Chemiluminescence arising in the (C₆₀—R₃Al)—O₂ system is much brighter (I _max = 1.86·10⁸ photon s⁻¹ mL⁻¹) than the known background CL (I _max = 6.0·10⁶ photon s⁻¹ mL⁻¹) for the autooxidation of R₃Al and is localized in a longer-wavelength spectral region (λ_max = 617 and 664 nm). This CL is generated as a result of energy transfer from the primary emitter ³CH₃CHO* to the products of FR transformation: R_nC₆₀H_m, R_pC₆₀, and EtC₆₀C₆₀Et.
