The kinetics of nematic phase size growth during the phase transition in an isotropic melt of liquid crystalline azomethine dimer

Polarizing microscopy was used to study the kinetics of formation and droplet size growth of the ordered (nematic) phase during the phase separation of an azomethine dimer melt at various rates of cooling. The statistical droplet size distribution of the nematic phase during phase separation was described by a model derived in terms of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. Two kinetic phase separation stages were observed and described by the universal scaling function.     

Interference effects in X-ray radiation from relativistic electrons moving at a small angle to an atomic plane

X-ray radiation of relativistic electrons interacting with a set of parallel atomic planes is considered. The anomalous behavior of the radiation due to the interplay of parametric and coherent bremsstrahlung emission mechanisms, which simultaneously occur under specific conditions, is studied.     

Dynamical-diffraction effects in parametric radiation

An analytic theory is developed for dynamical-diffraction effects in x-ray radiation from a relativistic electron traversing a thin single crystal. It is shown that such dynamical effects may be responsible for a glaring discrepancy between recent experimental data and the traditional theory of parametric x-ray radiation.     

Coherent radiation diagnostics of parameters of nanostructures at electron accelerators

The possibility of observing and diagnosing parameters of nanoobjects in a substance by using coherent X-ray radiation arising from the direct interaction of accelerated electrons with the object of interest is discussed. It is analytically shown that analysis of the generated radiation allows the microstructural features of the nanoobject to be studied. To illustrate the main conclusions, coherent radiation generated by relativistic electron scattering on fullerene is considered.     

Enriched Zn $$^{100}$$ MoO $$_4$$ scintillating bolometers to search for $$0\nu 2\beta $$ decay of $$^{100}$$ Mo with the LUMINEU experiment

In the present work, we consider a model with a fermionic field that is non-minimally coupled to gravity in the framework of teleparallel gravity. In order to determine the forms of the coupling and potential function of fermionic field for the considered model, we use the Noether symmetry approach. By applying this approach, for the Friedman–Robertson–Walker metric, we obtain the respective potential and coupling functions as a linear and power-law form of the bilinear \(\Psi \) . Furthermore, we search for the exact cosmological solution of the model. It is shown that the fermionic field plays the role of dark energy.
