Micron-image transfer system with brightness amplifier in gold-vapor laser

A gas-discharge gold-vapor laser on self-terminating transitions with operating wavelength λ=312.2 nm has been used to develop a highly efficient system for image transfer. An optical scheme and all its parameters have been chosen optimal for image quality. It has been found both theoretically and experimentally that the best results on micron-structure image transfer are obtained with 2–5-times image reduction. Various types of masks have been used. A 1-µm structure has been resolved due to the choice of optimal exposure time of 10 ms under a period of pulse repetition (0.6 – 0.8) ms; in this case, the minimal fringe dimension was ≈2 µm with an image dimension of 2 mm for a laser tube 1.8 cm in diameter.     

Temperature dependence of the efficiency at which electrons are captured into axial channeling

A procedure for calculating the efficiency at which electrons are captured into axial channeling with a realistic axis potential is discussed. That region in the space of the electron's total transverse energy E and angular momentum L (integrals of motion) which corresponds to stable bound states of the electron with an atomic row is found. The temperature dependence of the capture coefficient is analyzed. As the crystal temperature is increased, the capture coefficient decreases, to a particularly noticeable extent for beams making a small angle with the crystallographic axis and for crystals having a high atomic number z.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 69–74, May, 1988.     

Infrared reflection spectra in contactless nondestructive measurements of the electron density and mobility in indium phosphide

On the basis of numerical calculations and experimental studies we analyze the possibilities of measuring the electrophysical parameters of indium phosphide by means of infrared reflection spectra at wavelengths ranging from 5 to 200 m. We demonstrate that contactless nondestructive measurements of the electron density in the range 10¹⁶–10²⁰ cm^–3 can be made with a relative error not exceeding 15%, and of mobility with a relative error not exceeding 25%. A nomogram method is presented for rapid conversion of data from infrared reflection spectra into the parameters being measured.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 22–27, January, 1988.     

Calculation of microdosimetric characteristics in electron and gamma-ray irradiated water

The results of a calculation of the characteristics of fluctuations in the absorption of energy of electrons and gamma rays in small sensitive volumes of a material in electronic equilibrium are presented. The calculations were performed by the method developed in [1]. The efficiency and accuracy of the method are demonstrated by comparisons with the experimental results and direct numerical simulation. The experience gained in using the method is analyzed. The main numerical result of this work is a table of coefficients enabling the calculation of the probability of the absorption of energy and the first two moments of the energy absorbed in spherical regions with radii of 1, 2, 4, and 8 m, starting only from the electronic spectrum in these regions, for water absorbers with arbitrary shape and arbitrary electronic or photonic sources with energies up to 1 MeV.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 77–82, February, 1988.     

Experimental study of regions of reversed magnetization in an amorphous layer of Co70Fe5Si10B15

The characteristics of the distribution of magnetization and remagnetization of microsections of the surface in the amorphous alloy Co₇₀Fe₅Si₁₀B₁₅, prepared in the form of thin ribbons, were studied by the magnetooptical method. It was found that the magnetization I on the surface of the amorphous ribbon studied was strongly nonuniform. It was established that heat treatment (HT) of the sample leads to the appearance of regions of reversed magnetization in the surface layer of the ribbon, while thermomagnetic annealing reduces the nonuniformity of I. The conservation of the transverse component in the HT sample in fields where the magnitude of the component of magnetization parallel to the length of the ribbon remains virtually unchanged suggested that a domain structure of the magnetization ripple type, owing to the strong microdispersion of the magnetic anisotropy, is realized in this sample.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 89–94, March, 1988.

Estimates for the fractal dimension and the number of determining modes for invariant sets of dynamical systems

Majorants of the fractal dimension and of the number of determining modes for unbounded sets, invariant with respect to operators of semigroups of classes 1 and 2, are obtained. They are computed for the Navier-Stokes equations (two- and three-dimensional) under the first boundary condition and under periodicity conditions in the spaces and .Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
