Magnetic Properties of FeBO3 in the Low-Spin State

JETP Letters - Changes in the magnetic properties of FeBO3 single crystals in the course of spin crossover occurring with increasing pressure up to 63 GPa are studied both experimentally and...     

Measurement of storage time, estimation of ion number and study of absorption line profile in a Paul trap

Europium (Eu⁺) ions were confined in a Paul trap and detected by non-destructive method. Storage time of Eu⁺ ions achieved in vacuum was improved by orders of magnitude employing buffer gas cooling. The experimentally detected signal was fitted to the ion response signal and the total number of ions trapped was estimated. It is found that the peak signal amplitude as well as the product of FWHM and the peak signal amplitude is proportional to the total number of trapped ions. The trapped ion secular frequency was swept at different rates and its effect on the absorption line profile was studied both experimentally and theoretically.     

Recombination of an electron-hole plasma in silicon under the action of femtosecond laser pulses

Experimental data are obtained on the dynamics of conduction-electron relaxation at the stage preceding the melting of a silicon surface layer. The energy of a quantum of probe radiation is smaller than the band gap, making it possible to obtain information about the electron-phonon relaxation processes for an electron concentration of ～ 10²¹ cm^?3 in the conduction band.     

Study of Fe/Si magnetic layered nanostructures by reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy

The results of studying Fe/Si and Si/Fe layered structures with different thicknesses of the top layer by reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy are presented. A new method is proposed for the estimation of volume fractions of components in binary systems within the framework of the effective dielectric medium model.     

Magnetic phases of FexV1−x S and their electronic structure

A study has been made of the Fe_xV_1−x S solid solutions with 0<x<0.5. For the compounds with x>0.1, x-ray diffraction analysis discloses a V₅S₈ superstructure. Samples with x>0.1 are magnetically ordered at room temperature. The concentration dependences of resistivity and magnetization exhibit sharp peaks for x=0.1 and x=0.2, respectively. The main features of the structure and electronic properties have been qualitatively explained in terms of the three-band exciton-insulator model, and the maxima in resistivity and magnetization are assigned to the formation of localized magnetic moments with S=1, which become delocalized with increasing x.

Conductivity and field and current distributions in a two-component system composed of regular triangles

The problem of the effective conductivity and the distributions of a field and currents is analyzed in a regular two-component system composed of regular triangles. An efficient solution method is developed that admits a generalization to multicomponent systems.     

A new class of nodal stationary states in a 2D Heisenberg Ferromagnet

A new class of nodal topological excitations in a 2D Heisenberg model is studied. The solutions correspond to a nodal singular point of the gradient field of the azimuthal angle. An analytical solution is found for the isotropic case. The effect of in-plane exchange anisotropy is studied numerically. This results in solutions which are analogues of the conventional out-of-plane solitons in 2D magnets.
