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.     

Coherence of synchrotron radiation

Gal'tsov et al. [Vestn. Mosk. Gos. Univ., Fiz., Astron.,14, No. 5, 614 (1973)] studied the radiation spectrum of N equally spaced charges moving along a circle. In particular, it was shown that as N the intensity of the radiation from the system of charges vanishes. The present study will consider the radiation spectrum of N charges moving along an arbitrary closed curve, randomly distributed in the vicinity of equally spaced points. The coherency factor will be found for the assumption that: a) the distributions of individual charges are not intercorrelated; b) the charge distribution is such that in the vicinity of a given point only one charge is found. It will be shown that as N the radiation intensity tends to a finite limit.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 8–11, March, 1988.     

Multivariate cardinal interpolation with radial-basis functions

For a radial-basis function?∶?→? we consider interpolation on an infinite regular lattice , tof∶? ⁿ→?, whereh is the spacing between lattice points and the cardinal function , satisfiesX(j)=δ _oj for allj∈? ⁿ. We prove existence and uniqueness of such cardinal functionsX, and we establish polynomial precision properties ofI _h for a class of radial-basis functions which includes \(\varphi (r) = r^{2q + 1} \) , \(\varphi (r) = r^{2q} \log r,\varphi (r) = \sqrt {r^2 + c^2 } \) , and \(\varphi (r) = 1/\sqrt {r^2 + c^2 } \) whereq∈? ₊. We also deduce convergence orders ofI _hf to sufficiently differentiable functionsf whenh→0.     

Problem without initial conditions for some classes of nonlinear parabolic equations

Questions of uniqueness and existence of solutions of the problem without initial conditions for quasilinear parabolic equations of arbitrary order with monotone spatial part, equations of nonstationary filtration type, and operator differential equations of parabolic type are studied. The cases when restrictions are and are not imposed on the behavior of solutions as t– are considered here.Translated from Trudy Seminara imeni I. G. Petrovskogo, No. 14, pp. 3–44, 1989.     

The minimum area of a surface with prescribed boundary contour in a pseudoeuclidean space

LetE ^{n, k} be a pseudoeuclidean space with linear elementdx ₁ ² ++dx _n–k ² –dx _n–k ^+1/2 ––dx _n ² .

Theory of surface spin-exchange recombination of spin-polarized hydrogen

Calculations of the two-atom surface recombination rate for spinpolarized atomic hydrogen are carried out. Both the plane-wave Born approximation (PWBA) and the -dimensional distorted-wave model are employed. The field dependence forB=4 to 10 Tesla, and the temperature dependence for 0.2<T<1 K are examined for systems initially consisting of equal numbers ofa- andb-state atoms. The rates are analyzed with respect to para- and ortho-H₂ production, and to recombination to various vibrational and rotational states of H₂. The PWBA gives reasonable agreement with experiment with respect to the field-dependence and ortho-para production, but predicts an overall rate a factor of 40 above experiment. The -dimensional model underestimates the rate by a factor of 10³ and yields poorer agreement with experiment than the PWBA for the field-dependence and ortho-para production ratio. These results point out the need for a proper many-body treatment.     

Transversely polarized parton densities,their evolution and their measurement

The transverse spin asymmetry of a quark in a baryon and the linear polarization of a gluon in a vector meson are studied from thet-channel point of view. Using the Altarelli-Parisi approach, they are shown to obey independent evolution equations and to decrease with increasingQ ². We investigate the possibility to measure them at leading twist, to leading order in α and α_s and without analyzing the final polarizations. This requires simultaneous polarization of the beam and the target; the observable effect is in the azimuthal distribution of the highP _T particle or jet. Assuming a simple (quark+scalar diquark) model for the baryon, a large asymmetry is expected inp \(\bar p\) Drell-Yan collisions, a smaller one in highP _T pp collisions, from the interference term in the scattering of two identical quarks.     

High dose iron implantation into silicon and metals

High dose implantations of Fe into metals and semiconductors have been performed with beam energies up to 1 MeV at the UNILAC-injector at GSI. Unusual high concentrations of 70 atomic % for Si and 20 atomic % for Cu have been obtained, with doses of 10¹⁸ Fe/cm² in the case of Si and several 10¹⁷ Fe/cm² in the case of Cu. For Si the thickness of the layers were determined by Rutherford backscattering to be 4500 Å. These results are consistent with calculations, which show that these high concentrations are due to the reduction of the sputter yield at the relative high particle energies. Samples have been characterized using several complementary methods (Mössbauer Spectroscopy (MS), Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Auger electron Spectroscopy (AES). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD)).     

Determinants of Laplacians in real line bundles over hyperbolic manifolds connected with quantum geometry of membranes

The possibility is discussed of generalizing the Polyakov approach to strings on membranes and the connection of such a generalization with Thurston's classification of three-dimensional geometries. The important ingredients for computing a membrane path integral are the determinants of scalar Laplacians acting in real line bundles over three-dimensional closed manifolds. In the closed bosonic membrane case, such determinants are evaluated for a class of closed 3-manifolds of the H ³/ form with a discrete subgroup of isometries of the three-dimensional Lobachevsky space H ³ and they are expressed in terms of the Selberg zeta function. Some further possible implications of the results obtained are also discussed.
