Inclusive and exclusive measurements in the projectile breakup of 7Li

The inclusive and exclusive measurements were carried out for ⁷Li projectile breakup on ²⁷Al target at 48 MeV. In the inclusive data we have observed a broad peak around the beam velocity for alphas and tritons. The exclusive data for alpha-triton coincidences show good agreement with the post-form DWBA theory of breakup reactions.     

Quasielastic reactions around the coulomb barrier in 16O+118Sn

Measurement of elastic and quasielastic reaction cross sections were done in ¹⁶O + ¹¹⁸Sn system at two different energies above the barrier. Attempts are being made to understand the results in the framework of coupled reaction channel model.     

The effect of domain wall motion on the nondiagonal impedance component in amorphous wires with circular magnetic anisotropy

The effect of the domain wall motion on the nondiagonal impedance component in amorphous ferromagnetic wires with circular anisotropy was theoretically studied. The frequency spectrum of the electromotive force (emf) induced in the pick-up coil wound around the wire is analyzed. For sufficiently small amplitudes of the ac current passing in the wire, the emf frequency equals doubled frequency of the current. For the ac current amplitudes exceeding certain threshold value, all even harmonics appear in the frequency spectrum of the signal. The emf strongly depends on the longitudinal component of the applied magnetic field at any value of the ac current amplitude. These results can be important for developing frequency transducers controlled by magnetic field.     

Nuclear orbiting and anomalies in nuclear reactions

In this paper, we report our measurements of back-angle oxygen and carbon particle yields from ¹⁶O+⁸⁹Y, ¹²C+⁹³Nb reactions forming the same compound nucleus ¹⁰⁵Ag at the same excitation energy and spin distribution. We find anomalously large oxygen yield and entrance channel dependence at high excitation energies from ¹⁶O+⁸⁹Y reaction implying formation of a dinuclear orbiting complex. Possible connection between nuclear orbiting and fast fission is also discussed.     

An alternative approach to determine the spot-size of a multi-mode laser beam and its application to diode laser beams

An alternative approach is suggested to determine the spot-size of a multi-mode laser beam. It has been shown by simulations that the suggested approach can give the beam quality factor and characteristic radius with less than 5% error. Unlike the power content method, the proposed method is applicable to the beams even with diameter one tenth of the CCD size. The new approach has been applied to a multi-mode diode laser output and it is shown that the ABCD matrix analysis can be used for beam propagation, with the measured parameters of the laser.     

Instability of the magnetization reversal front in superconductors with a nonlinear anisotropic current-voltage characteristic

The instability of a magnetic flux flow in a system of vortices and antivortices in superconductors with a power (exponent m) anisotropic current-voltage characteristic was studied theoretically. It was shown that instability arose even at a comparatively weak anisotropy of the current-carrying properties of a superconductor if m?1. The dispersion equation determining the dependence of the increment of instability growth on the wave number was derived and analyzed.     

Anisotropic origin of the bending instability of the flux-antiflux interface in type-II superconductors

The physical nature of the macroturbulence in vortex matter in YBCO superconductors is investigated by means of a magneto-optic study of the instability in a single crystal prepared especially for this purpose. The instability develops near those sample edges where the oppositely directed flow of vortices and antivortices, guided by twin boundaries, is characterized by the discontinuity of the tangential component of the hydrodynamic velocity. This fact indicates that the macroturbulence is analogous to the instability of fluid flow at a surface of a tangential velocity discontinuity in classical hydrodynamics and is related to the anisotropic flux motion in the superconductor.     

Integral representation of a class of univalent functions

We refine and generalize a result of V. A. Zmorovich on the integral representation of a class of univalent functions which are convex in some direction. We prove that all function of the class being considered can be approximated by a Schwarz-Christoffel integral of a special form belonging to the same class.Translated from Matematicheskii Zametki, Vol. 19, No. 1, pp. 41–48, January, 1976.     

Effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone on the morphology and spectral luminescence of Y3Al5O12:Ce+3

Results from investigating the effect of different molecular masses and amounts of polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) on the structural-phase, morphological, and spectral luminescence properties of YAG:Ce powders produced using a colloid chemical approach to synthesis (co-precipitation from solutions of the respective salts followed by thermal treatment of xerogels in air) are presented. The optimum thermal treatment regimes for precursors synthesized in the presence of PVP and its concentration in precipitation solutions that facilitate the formation of weakly aggregated nanosized powders of well-crystallized garnet characterized by enhanced (by a factor of 1.5–2) luminescence relative to a standard sample (without PVP) are determined.     

Facile Transformation of the Hydroxy‐Substituted Oxathiacrown Ethers

9(12)‐Hydroxy‐dithia‐13(16)‐crown‐4(6)‐ethers have been prepared by the condensing an oligoethylene glycol dithiol with 2,3‐dibromo‐1‐propanol. Methods of oxidation, halogenation, amination, and esterification of the 9‐hydroxythiacrown ether, producing corresponding oxathiacrown ether derivatives in good yields, have been developed. Cyclic destruction has not been found in the studied reactions. The change of the oxathiamacrocyclic ring size in the course of the halogenation and amination reactions was revealed.
