Magnetic field value in the weak energy release region of the solar corona

Spectrographic data from observations of the polarized weak steplike (with relatively sharp growth t 3 sec and slow decay t 10² sec) solar continuum radioemission are analyzed below. The main results are found using a sweeping spectrograph in the 8–12 GHz frequency range (sweep rate 1 sample per second and frequency resolution 120 MHz) and using the RT-22 radio telescope at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (angular resolution 4–6). In a series of events at the leading edge of the continuum a narrow-band frequency drifting emission termed blip-type is found. The degree of continuum circular polarization (p<10%) is low compared to that of the narrow-band component (p20%). Both components of the aforementioned events should be radiating on the second harmonic of the local plasma frequency in the context of a plasma generating mechanism. Based on the model proposed and using the observed degree of circular polarization of each component, we can estimate the strength of the magnetic field within the area of the source and the width of the angular spectrum from the radiating plasma turbulence. The results of analysis of the real microwave events are given below.Radiophysical Research Institute, Nizhnii Novgorod.

μSR study of UTr2Si2, Tr=Co,Rh OR Pt

We have studied bySR spectroscopy the intermetallicsUTr ₂Si₂ where Tr=Co, Rh or Pt. Whereas for the Co compound we only get information on the muon localisation site, from the other two materials we obtain information on their electronic properties. We compare the characteristics of theirSR response.     

The influence of the local surrounding on the hyperfine interactions in Zr(Fe1−x Ni x )2 compounds

Mössbauer spectroscopy and the TDPAC method have been used to study Zr(Fe_1–x Ni _x )₂ compounds forx0.30. The hyperfine magnetic field at the Fe sites and the quadrupole splitting as functions of nickel concentration were analysed by use of⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Values of the internal magnetic field on¹⁸¹Ta nuclei have been found by means of the TDPAC method.     

Observation of quasi-static spin dynamics in the giant anisotropic ferromagnet PrRu2Si2 by μSR spectroscopy

We report zero field and longitudinal fieldSR measurements on single crystals of the ferromagnet PrRu₂Si₂ (T _c15K). BetweenT=T _c and 250K we observe a quasi-static spin dynamics of the Pr³⁺ ion sub-lattice. BelowT _c, depending on the orientation of the initial muon beam polarisation relative to thec axis of the compound, we find either an oscillating signal or an exponential depolarisation function. These latter data allow us to get information related to the muon in PrRu₂Si₂.     

Products obtained by microbially-induced corrosion of steel in a marine environment: Role of green rust two

An unusual low-water corrosion of steel sheet piles has been systematically investigated in a channel harbour (Boulogne sur Mer, France). An analysis of the environment reveals that all sampling of dark rust taken at different heights above marine sediments and kept in anaerobic conditions present unusual concentrations of sulfate-reducing bacteria. The rust products have been characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, comprising the ferrous—ferric sulfated compounds of formula 4Fe(OH)₂ · 2FeOOH · FeSO₄ ·nH₂O, called green rust 2, mixed sometimes with magnetite and a small amount of ferrous sulfide.     

Mössbauer studies of iron ore from East Awinat mountains in Libya

In this paper, we report studies of local and imported iron ores using the techniques of Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and chemical analysis. Results from Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction of the two ores indicate that the raw materials consist mainly of hematite with a magnetic field of 517 kOe. The d-spacings are consistent with -Fe₂O₃. A series of reduction processes in an H₂ environment at 410 °C for the local ore was performed in order to understand the kinetics of reduction. The reduction was complete after 5 h and the spectra reveal only an -Fe phase with a hyperfine magnetic field of 330 kOe. On the other hand, the reduced pellets, from Misratah's Iron and Steel Factory (imported iron ore), reveal the presence of an additional phase. This phase was identified as 9-carbide with a magnetic field of 208 kOe and an isomer shift of 0.22 mm/s.     

Separatrices splitting for Birkhoff's billiard in symmetric convex domain,closed to an ellipse

An example of a convex domain on the plane with the phenomenon of the transversal intersection of separatrices of the corresponding billiard mapping is presented. This example is constructed as an analytic global symmetric perturbation of an ellipse and we investigate the global symmetric analytic perturbation of the integrable billiard mapping in the ellipse. We establish a theorem on the separatrices splitting of the perturbed billiard mapping and derive the asymptotic formulas for a homoclinic invariant as well as for a "principal" splitting angle of separatrices, arising from the hyperbolic fixed point of the mapping.
