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.

Stereochemically controlled synthesis of unsaturated acids via diphenylphosphinoyl (Ph2PO) -ketoacids

Acylation of phosphine oxide anions with derivatives of cyclic anhydrides or oxidative cleavage of cyclic allyl phosphine oxides gives Ph₂PO-ketoacids: reduction, separation of diastereoisomers, and completion of the Horner-Wittig reaction gives single isomers ($\text{E}$) or ($\text{Z}$) of unsaturated acids.     

A role of non-hydrogen framework vibrational modes in formation of ferroelectric properties of H-bonded K3H(SO4)2-like materials

An effect of molecular vibrational modes within the dimers [O₃AO–(H/D)OAO₃]³⁻ on behavior of H-bond protons or deuterons is studied theoretically for H-bonded antiferroelectrics and quantum paraelectrics of the M₃(H/D)(AO₄)₂ family (M=alkali metal, A=S, Se). The ‘heavy’ reorganization modes in D-species of this family and both reorganization and promoting modes in corresponding H-analogues are examined. It is shown that the analysis with due regard for the reorganization modes results in insignificant decreasing of the effective tunneling frequency of light nuclei. Hence the reasonable estimations of the critical temperature of the low-temperature phase transition in M₃D(AO₄)₂ materials are available only with additional corrections related to potential profiles of a deuteron. It is noted that in the limits of the proposed model the promoting mode in the case of H-species can favor, in principle, the increasing as well as the decreasing of effective proton level splitting.
