A generalised model and calculation of the hyperfine interaction constant for anomalous muonium in the crystalline lattice of silicon

A new microscopic model of anomalous muonium for the elemental semiconductors is proposed. The relevant configuration consisting of both a diamagrentic molecule Si−Mu and an unpaired orbital e⁻ is contained into a semivacancy of the real lattice. By using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock computational method the principal properties of the system are established. A dynamical version of the model together with a question on the formation of such system are discussed.     

Green's temperature functions of massive scalar particles for finite matter density

An explicit expression is obtained for the Green's functions of a massive scalar field for nonnull temperatures and density in the form of a series in powers of m/T. The equivalence of the spectral-geometric approach and the temperature technique of Matsubara and Bernard is demonstrated. Corrections to the Stefan-Boltzmann law are obtained on the basis of the calculated Green's functions. The energy density is calculated in regions of high and low temperatures. The formulas obtained can prove to be useful in the discussion of the phase transition hadrons-quark-gluon plasma.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 32–40, July, 1991.     

The exactly resolved nonlattice model of random media based on Markov walks with a stable law for jumps

A random-medium model which is a correlated distribution of points (particles) randomly positioned in the 3-dimensional space is considered. The construction of the medium starts from a noncorrelated (Poisson) distribution of parent particles, each of them initiates a finite Markov chain of its descendants. The complete collection of correlation functions of all orders within the scope of the model have been obtained. The use of the 3-dimensional stable law (Lévy law) as a transition probability allows us to present the correlation function in an explicit form.

Scanning tunnelling microscopic images of the surface ordering of the liquid crystal 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl

Images of the surface ordering of 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl, a room temperature smectic liquid crystal deposited upon graphite, have been obtained by scanning tunnelling microscopy. The microscope was operated in air using the constant-current mode. Under certain tunnelling conditions it has been possible to resolve both the aliphatic and aromatic parts of the molecule, and to observe individual benzene rings. Two previously unreported conformations have been observed: an overlapping bilayer structure with spacing 3.7 nm, and a monolayer structure with spacing 2.4 nm. The latter structure may represent the first visual evidence for a surface polar ordered structure.     

Corrosion products on steel 20 in aerated hydrazine solutions: Mössbauer study

Composition of corrosion layers on steel 20 in aerated solutions with hydrazine concentrations less than 11 ppm was studied at 50, 60, and 80°C in dynamic conditions by transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction as supplementary technique. Corrosion rates were determined by gravimetric method. A comparison with corrosion in water at 80°C was made. The observed layers have not any protective character. For 0.1 m/s linear velocity, they are composed by nonstoichiometric magnetite, (Fe_3?x O₄,x=0.02–0.04) with lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) as secondary phase at 50°C. Haematite (α-Fe₂O₃) is observed at 60 and 80°C with a 19 nm particle size. It becomes smaller for higher velocity (0.7 m/s).     

HPLC study of starch hydrolysis products obtained with α-amylase from bacillus amyloliquefaciens and bacillus licheniformis

Two bacterial α-amylases from new industrial strains were studied: α-amylase fromBacillus amyloliquefaciens CCM 3502 (Czechoslovak) and thermostable α-amylase fromBacillus licheniformis 44MB82 (Bulgarian). The thermostable enzyme hydrolyzed starch mainly to dextrins, and after 1 h, 30% of the products were oligosaccharides. TheB. amyloliquefaciens enzyme produced more maltooligosaccharides than the first enzyme (B. licheniformis). Within 1 h, up to 80% of the substrate were hydrolyzed, giving different spectrum of oligosaccharides in comparison with the thermostable one.
