Photoinduced clustering of Eu and the influence of the magnetic field on it in NaCl: Eu crystals

It has been demonstrated that, in NaCl crystals supersaturated with an Eu impurity (0.1 at %), ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 200–370 nm initiates spontaneous aggregation of Eu²⁺−V _k ⁻ impurity-vacancy dipoles into EuCl₂ flat precipitates lying in the (013) crystallographic plane. A constant magnetic field of 15 T accelerates the photoinduced formation of EuCl₂ nanoclusters at a temperature of 300 K.     

Kinetics of transformation of Eu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> dimers in NaCl crystals in a static magnetic field of 15 T

A static magnetic field of up to 15 T is found to affect the photoluminescence excitation spectra of NaCl: Eu crystals. The magnetic field has an effect on the excitation spectra starting at the stage at which dimers are formed through diffusion in the crystals. At earlier stages of impurity aggregation, the magnetic field affects the kinetics of dimer accumulation. It is revealed that the dimer transformation stimulated by the magnetic field involves stages that last for 10–15 min at room temperature in a static magnetic field of 15 T and, hence, are shorter than the aggregation time. Luminescence studies of dimers, which are the main dislocation stoppers in NaCl: Eu crystals, make it possible to explain the specific features of the magnetoplastic effect observed previously in these crystals.     

固溶处理对Al-Cu合金中Portevin-Le Chatelier效应空域行为的影响

研究了在定加载速率拉伸条件下，固溶处理对Al-Cu合金材料中PLC(Portevin-Le Chatelier)效应空域行为的影响.在较低拉伸速率时，变形初期PLC变形带在试件宽度方向中央附近某点处“成核”.随着变形的继续，出现多带共存的现象.且带宽较小，带与拉伸轴向的夹角较大.在较大拉伸速率条件下，PLC变形带先连续传播，再随机出现. 关键词： PLC效应 动态应变时效 固溶处理     

The influence of a static magnetic field on the fluctuation superconductivity

We study the influence of an external static magnetic field on the additional conductivity due to fluctuation superconductivity for bulk material and for thin films with the magnetic field normal to the film surfaces. Only a weak-coupling superconductor in the dirty limit is considered. This additional conductivity turns out to be anisotropic in general.     

Magnetic field effect on the photoluminescence of an Eu impurity during its aggregation in NaCl crystals

It is found that a magnetic field up to 20 T affects photoluminescence absorption spectra in NaCl:Eu crystals in the process of impurity aggregation into complexes. The spectral changes are irreversible and are observed after quenching the crystals at the early stages of the formation of small metastable complexes containing impurity-vacancy Eu²⁺-V dipoles. Emporal correlations revealed between the occurrence of the magnetoplastic effect and a change in the optical properties of the crystals in a magnetic field.

基于数字图像相关法的Mg含量对Al合金Protein-Le Chatelier效应影响的实验研究

利用数字图像相关法研究了常温与恒定应变率(5.00×10~(-3)s~(-1))下Mg含量(质量分数)分别为2.30%,4.57%,6.10%及6.91%四种Al-Mg合金Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)效应的宏观变形行为.实验发现,Mg含量的增加导致强化效果的增强;低Mg含量(2.30%)合金中锯齿跌落幅值基本保持不变,而在高Mg含量(4.57%,6.10%,6.91%)合金中随应变增加而增加.锯齿跌落幅值随Mg含量增加而逐渐增大,在高Mg含量合金中趋于饱和.宏观局域变形带的观察结果表明PLC带宽不随Mg含量或者应变改变而变化,带内变形量随着Mg含量或者应变的增加而逐渐增大.此外,在低Mg含量合金的加载曲线后段(应变约为0.3时)观测到了特殊的周期性的衰减锯齿,相应的时域PLC带演化表明加载曲线的周期性转变大锯齿对应着空间上PLC带的转向,幅度逐渐减小的振荡对应着PLC带的传播,且在转向前后PLC带均向上连续传播.     

Effect of a magnetic field on the yield point of NaCl crystals

A constant magnetic field is found to have a substantial effect on the macroplasticity of NaCl crystals when they are being actively strained at a constant rate during magnetic treatment. We have measured the dependence of the yield point σ _y on the magnetic induction B=0–0.48 T and the strain rate . It is shown that this magnetic effect has a threshold character and is observed only for B>B _c , where B _c grows with increasing as . The lower the strain rate , the larger the relative decrease in the yield point σ _y (B)/σ _y (0) at fixed field B>B _c . At small enough strain rates the threshold field B _c ceases to depend on and goes constant. A theoretical model is proposed which is in good agreement with the observed regularities. The model is based on the competition between thermally activated and magnetically stimulated depinning of dislocations from paramagnetic impurity centers. Zh. éksp. Teor.

On the influence of a constant magnetic field on the electroplastic effect in silicon crystals

The influence of a constant magnetic field on the electroplastic effect induced by an electric current in silicon crystals is investigated. It is found that the preliminary magnetic field treatment of silicon crystals leads to a weakening of the electroplastic effect. A possible mechanism of the phenomena observed is discussed.     

The effect of 2.1 T static magnetic field on astrocyte viability and morphology

The viability and a number of morphological properties of in situ astrocytes of rat spinal cord cultures including changes in surface area and migration of both cell body and nucleus were investigated at magnetic field intensities comparable to those currently used for magnetic resonance imaging. Viability of rat spinal astrocytes was studied after up to 72 hours of 2.1T static magnetic field exposure. Surface areas and two-dimensional centroids of both soma and nucleus after 2 hours of magnetic field exposure were determined and compared with those of the same cells before magnetic field exposure. Cell membrane ruffling was quantified using fractal analysis.     

Scaling behavior of the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect in an Al-2.5%Mg alloy

The scaling behavior of the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect was studied by deforming an Al-2.5%Mg alloy for a wide range of strain rates. To reveal the exact scaling nature, the time series data of true stress versus time, obtained during deformation, were analyzed by two complementary methods: the finite variance scaling method and the diffusion entropy analysis. From these analyses we could establish that, in the entire span of strain rates, the PLC effect showed the Levy-walk property.

The influence of a magnetic field on the inelastic properties of LiF crystals

The effect of weak magnetic fields (0.1–0.8 T) on the internal friction and Young’s-modulus defect of LiF crystals is investigated over a range of relative strain amplitudes ɛ ₀ from 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁴ at frequencies of 40 and 80 kHz. Experiments with these fields show that the internal friction increases and the effective elastic modulus decreases, indicating an increase in the plasticity of the samples. Plots are obtained of the internal friction versus the magnitude of the magnetic field at various values of the strain amplitude ɛ ₀. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1035–1040 (June 1999)     

Generation modes of Eu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> nonequilibrium dimers and influence of a magnetic field on their reconstruction in NaCl: Eu crystals

Three generation modes have been experimentally revealed for impurity-vacancy Eu²⁺ dimers with the atomic structure determined by the spin-selective transitions to equilibrium configurations in a constant magnetic field of 5–15 T in NaCl: Eu crystals. It has been shown that, under conditions of linearly increasing mechanical stresses, the plastic strain of the NaCl: Eu crystals accelerates the aggregation of impurities and generates magnetically sensitive dimers several tens of times more rapidly than in the case of diffusion-controlled aggregation. Under conditions of linearly increasing strains, magnetically sensitive dimers arise as a result of the destruction of impurity precipitates by moving dislocations. The identification of dimers and the determination of their average spin in the process of spin-dependent reorganization of the atomic structure of the dimers have been performed using optical spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry.     

The magnetic properties of Eu nanoclusters formed in NaCl crystals during plastic deformation and aggregation

Plastic deformation of aged crystals and diffusion-controlled aggregation of Eu²⁺ ions in freshly quenched NaCl: Eu crystals causes the formation of complexes bound by exchange interaction. The solution of large-sized precipitates by quenching followed by impurity aggregation results in the nucleation of magnetically sensitive clusters comprising few atoms. A constant magnetic field with induction 5 T increases the probability of the transition of magnetically sensitive clusters from the high-to low-spin metastable state and induces changes in their atomic structure.     

The influence of a weak magnetic field on the radiation-induced conductivity of C60 single crystals

The radiation-induced conductivity of C₆₀ single crystals is found to increase under the influence of a weak magnetic field (B < 1 T). It is shown that the observed effect is not related to the known galvanomagnetic phenomena. The results obtained are explained in terms of the proposed mechanisms of the influence of a weak magnetic field on the spin-dependent processes involving intermediate electron-hole pairs generated under radiation excitation of the fullerite single crystals.
