Electromechanical and pyroelectric properties in CoZn ferrite transducer

The system Co_0.6Zn_0.4Fe₂O₄ ferrite was prepared by the usual ceramic method. The resonant frequency and antiresonance of vibrating disc have been studied as a function of temperature. The decrease of resonant frequency with rising temperature was attributed to increase the interaction of domains with the applied AC field. The decrease of the ultrasonic wave velocity with the increase of temperature was ascribed to thermal lattice vibration, which facilitate the domains to interact at lower frequency of the applied AC field. The electromechanical coupling factor of the radial mode was fairly constant with rising temperature. The pyroelectric voltage measured at the transducer electric terminals increases with the increase of temperature. Ferrite transducer is useful for ultrasonic generation to be used in technology.     

Orbital resonances in discs around braneworld Kerr black holes

Rotating black holes in the brany universe of the Randall–Sundrum type with infinite additional dimension are described by the Kerr geometry with a tidal charge b representing the interaction of the brany black hole and the bulk spacetime. For b < 0 rotating black holes with dimensionless spin a > 1 are allowed. We investigate the role of the tidal charge in the orbital resonance model of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole systems. The orbital Keplerian frequency v _K and the radial and vertical epicyclic frequencies v _r, v _θ of the equatorial, quasicircular geodetical motion are given. Their radial profiles related to Keplerian accretion discs are discussed, assuming the inner edge of the disc located at the innermost stable circular geodesic. For completeness, naked singularity spacetimes are considered too. The resonant conditions are given in three astrophysically relevant situations: for direct (parametric) resonances of the oscillations with the radial and vertical epicyclic frequencies, for the relativistic precession model, and for some trapped oscillations of the warped discs, with resonant combinational frequencies involving the Keplerian and radial epicyclic frequencies. It is shown, how the tidal charge could influence matching of the observational data indicating the 3 : 2 frequency ratio observed in GRS 1915 + 105 microquasar with prediction of the orbital resonance model; limits on allowed range of the black hole parameters a and b are established. The “magic” dimensionless black hole spin enabling presence of strong resonant phenomena at the radius, where v _K: v _θ : v _r = 3 : 2 : 1, is determined in dependence on the tidal charge. Such strong resonances could be relevant even in sources with highly scattered resonant frequencies, as those expected in Sgr A*. The specific values of the spin and tidal charge are given also for existence of specific radius where v _K : v _θ : v _r = s : t : u with 5≥s >t >u being small natural numbers. It is shown that for some ratios such situation is impossible in the field of black holes. We can conclude that analysing the microquasars high-frequency QPOs in the framework of orbital resonance models, we can put relevant limits on the tidal charge of brany Kerr black holes.     

Collisionless dissociation of SF6 using two resonant frequency CO2 laser fields

The collisionless dissociation of SF₆ has been studied using simultaneous irradiation by two frequencies from a CO₂ laser which are both nearly resonant with the SF_6v3 absorption band. It was found that the dissociation was enhanced, and occurred over a wider frequency range, than for single frequency dissociation. No threshold effect was observed for a weak resonant and a much higher energy field pumping slightly off-resonance. For such two frequency irradiation, the peak in the dissociation curve was found to be shifted to lower frequencies with respect to that for single frequency dissociation.

Frequency-dependent electromagnetic properties of the Pb-doped manganite measured in the transformer-type circuit

The dependence of the transformation coefficient of the four-pole network with the toroid core made of the La_0.6Pb_0.4MnO₃ manganite on dc biasing magnetic field and frequency was experimentally investigated. The factors which influence the value of the transmission coefficient are analyzed. In the megahertz frequency range the frequency dependence of the transformation coefficient has a resonant form with the position of the maximum and amplitude increasing with the dc biasing. The dc magnetic field dependence of the phase shift between the voltages in the primary and secondary windings was investigated. The results are interpreted taking into account the imaginary component of magnetic permeability of the core material.     

Microwave heating of electrons of a dense plasma column at frequencies higher than electron cyclotron frequency

In the overdense collisionless plasma column inserted through the narrow sides of a rectangular waveguide, the excited electron cyclotron harmonic waves (CHWs) are studied by means of two movable probes and a phase interferometer in the range of parameters of 2 >ω/ω _ce >1; 0·5 < (ω _pe /ω)² < 15. Two kinds of CH waves have been found in the dipole mode:

1. Stable backward CH waves with the phase velocity in the direction from the axis to the periphery.
2. Unstable backward CH waves with the phase velocity in the opposite direction.

From the correlation measurements and amplitude distribution of the CH waves at the applied frequency and its second harmonic frequency it has been found that in the range of 2 >ω/ω _ce > >1·5 efficient nonlinear resonant interaction of CH waves takes place. The position of the loci of resonant interaction inside the plasma column has been found both experimentally and by a simple new graphical procedure for the resonant conditions of the formω ₂=2ω ₁; k₂=2¦k₁¦. In absence of this condition, no effective generation of the second harmonic frequency has been found. The resonant interaction of CHWs atω/ω _ce =1·85 is the cause of self-trapping of CH waves between the zones of resonant interaction in radial direction and of the anomalous heating rate of electrons.     

Pump polarization effect in a superradiant NH3 and CH3F FIR Raman laser

The pump polarization has an evident effect on a superradiant FIR Raman laser both in NH₃ and CH₃F gases when the pump detuning from the resonant line is larger than the Raby frequency. In particular for R resonant lines the circular polarization shows a spontaneous gain about 1.5 times greater than the linear polarization as expected from the theory.     

Second- and third-harmonic generations for a nondilute suspension of coated particles with radial dielectric anisotropy

We derive expressions for the effective nonlinear susceptibility tensors for both the second harmonic generation (SHG) and induced third harmonic generation (THG) of nonlinear composite materials, in which nondilute coated particles with radial dielectric anisotropy are randomly embedded in the linear host. Two types of coated particles are considered. The first is that the core possesses a second order nonlinear susceptibility and the shell is linear and radially anisotropic, while the second is that the core is linear with radial anisotropy and the shell has a second order nonlinear susceptibility. We observe greatly enhanced SHG and THG susceptibilities at several surface plasmon resonant frequencies. For the second model, due to the coating material being metallic, there exists two fundamental resonant frequencies ω_c1 and ω_c2, whose difference ω_c2-ω_c1 is strongly dependent on the interfacial parameter and the radial dielectric anisotropy. Furthermore, in both systems, the adjustment of the dielectric anisotropy results in larger enhancement of both SHG and induced THG susceptibilities at surface plasmon resonant frequencies than the corresponding isotropic systems. Therefore, both the core-shell structure and the dielectric anisotropy play important roles in determining the nonlinear enhancement and the surface resonant frequencies.     

Polarity of magnetic field related magnetoelectric effects in heterotypic composite system of lead zirconate titanate and Terfenol-D

Using the idea of “stress-field-controlled graded ferroelectrics”, a ring-shaped composite system of Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃/Terfenol-D was fabricated. The magnetoelectric coupling of the composite was investigated. A resonant peak was observed at frequency of 69.6 kHz. The magnetoelectric frequency spectrum was found to relate to the polarity of the applied magnetic field, resulting in positive and negative magnetoelectric effects around the resonant point. Analysis shows that elastic resonance of the composite decides the resonant frequency and the magnetostrictive state of the Terfenol-D was responsible for the magnetoelectric coupling at different frequencies.     

Selective desorption from the binary coadsorbate C2H6CH3FNaCl by resonant vibrational excitation with laser infrared radiation

After measuring the linear infrared absorption spectrum of the coadsorbate, selective desorption of CH₃F from the binary coadsorbate C₂H₆CH₃FNaCl under ultrahigh vacuum conditions at 12o K stimulated by resonant CO₂ laser pulses of small fluence ～ 0.1 J·cm^t?2 has been carried out. No desorption of ethane, which is slightly more volatile, but has no significant infrared absorption at the laser frequency, was observed. The primary activation step is the resonant multiphoton excitation of the most intense internal CH₃FNaCl adsorbate vibration, the CF stretching mode ν₃. The substance separation seems to indicate high localisation of the activation in this desorption and could be of interest for applications.

High-frequency response and the possibilities of frequency-tunable narrow-band terahertz amplification in resonant tunneling nanostructures

The characteristics of the high-frequency response of single- and double-well resonant tunneling structures in a dc electric field are investigated on the basis of the numerical solution of a time-dependent Schrödinger equation with open boundary conditions. The frequency dependence of the real part of high frequency conductivity (high-frequency response) in In_0.53Ga_0.47As/AlAs/InP structures is analyzed in detail for various values of the dc voltage V _dc in the negative differential resistance (NDR) region. It is shown that double-well three-barrier structures are promising for the design of terahertz-band oscillators. The presence of two resonant states with close energies in such structures leads to a resonant (in frequency) response whose frequency is determined by the energy difference between these levels and can be controlled by varying the parameters of the structure. It is shown that, in principle, such structures admit narrow-band amplification, tuning of the amplification frequency, and a fine control of the amplification (oscillation) frequency in a wide range of terahertz frequencies by varying a dc electric voltage applied to the structure. Starting from a certain width of the central intermediate barrier in double-well structures, one can observe a collapse of resonances, where the structure behaves like a single-well system. This phenomenon imposes a lower limit on the oscillation frequency in three-barrier resonant tunneling structures.

Experiments on the search for the effect of resonant screening on the probability of Mössbauer absorption of <Superscript>119<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Superscript>Sn gamma rays

Experiments on the search for the effect of resonant screening on the Mössbauer absorption of ^119m Sn γ rays of energy 23.8 keV emitted by a standard Mössbauer Ca^119m SnO₃ γ source in the resonant SnO₂ absorber of natural isotopic composition are described. Intensities of tin γ rays and X-rays that passed through the absorber were measured with and without a resonant cylindrical screen (which was a black absorber for the 23.8-keV Mössbauer γ line) around the absorber and their ratios were calculated for each radiation separately. No difference beyond the experimental error was found between these ratios measured with the γ source both at rest and when oscillating with a frequency and amplitude enough to completely break the conditions for Mössbauer resonant absorption of 23.8-keV γ rays. The upper limit for the relative decrease, due to the influence of the resonant screen, in the intensities of these γ rays after their passing through the resonant absorber was 0.00030.     

Experimental Study of a Ka-Band Cylindrical Open Resonator

A study of the electrodynamical properties of a Ka-band gyrotron open resonator was experimentally conducted. Experiments were accomplished to measure resonant frequencies and their respective loaded quality factors for TE modes in the frequency range from 26 to 40 GHz. In particular, a perturbation technique was used to determine the axial, radial and azimuthal electric field profiles, as an identification method of the TE₀₂₁ mode operating around 35 GHz. In any experimental event, good agreement with the values predicted by theory was found.     

Analysis and modeling of a high-temperature superconducting floating resonant strip in waveguide

A two-gap floating resonant strip is used for characterization of the high-temperature superconductor, YBa₂Cu₃O_7–. The method has the advantages of simplicity, no electrical contact, operation at various resonant frequencies, and of requiring only a small sample. An analysis was devised that allows for the accurate design of the strip dimensions to produce a desired resonant frequency. Experimental measurements in X and Kuband (8–18 GHz) agree well with the calculations. The sensitivities of the circuit to positional errors and size variations of the resonant strip were investigated. The surface resistance was measured and compared favorably with the theory.     

Distribution Radiale de la Densité des Atomes Métastables dans les Plasmas Produits par un Champ Electrique Continu ou de Haute-Fréquence

The radial density distribution of metastable Ar(³P₂) and resonant Ar(¹P₁) atoms is determined experimentally in two types of electrical discharges of cylindrical shape: the positive column plasma of a DC discharge and the plasma produced by an electromagnetic surface wave. The exitation and deexcitation rates for Ar(³P₂) by electron collisions are determined as a function of radius from the measured radial population density profile using a population density balance equation. These rate coefficients are obtained for various electron density values on the axis. The published values for these coefficients in the positive column plasma assume that they are independent of the discharge current. In this work, it is shown that these coefficients actually decrease as the electron density increases. In a more general way, the results obtained indicate that the examination of the radial density distributions of exited atoms is a powerful method for determining the kinetics of their creation and destruction.

Results are presented on neat liquids of carbontetrachloride and cyclohexane and on the mixture of CCl₄: C₆H₁₂.     

Faraday effect in alkali-metal vapors in a strong bichromatic field of laser light

Results of a numerical study of the Faraday effect arising upon propagation of the light beams with the frequencies ω _L1 (resonant to the nS _1/2-nP _{1/2, 3/2} transitions) and ω _L2 (resonant to the nP _{1/2, 3/2}-(n+2)S _1/2 transitions) through alkali-metal vapors are presented. Characteristics of the magneto-optical rotation spectra at each of the frequencies are strongly affected by the second intense radiation field resonant to the adjacent transition. When the atoms interact with two strong light waves, resonant to adjacent transitions, and with a magnetic field, the shape of the Faraday rotation spectra depends on the energy shifts of the atomic states that arise due to the dynamic Stark effect and the Zeeman effect (the Paschen-Back or an intermediate-type effect), as well as due to the difference of populations of these states caused by the interaction of the atoms with the fields. The results obtained show that in the frequency selection method, based on the resonance Faraday effect, the frequency of the generated narrow-band beam can be tuned by the intensity of the strong wave, resonant to the transition between the excited states.
