Low-power RF plasma sources for technological applications: II. plasma sources under anomalous skin effect conditions

A theory of a planar disk-shaped RF plasma source under anomalous skin effect conditions is developed. In the absence of an external magnetic field, such conditions are satisfied for transverse electromagnetic waves with phase velocities below the electron thermal velocity, and, in the presence of this field, they are satisfied for electron cyclotron waves with frequencies corresponding to the resonant absorption line. For each of these cases, the RF field power deposited in a plasma with given parameters is determined and the equivalent plasma resistance is calculated.     

The structure and phase composition of stabilized zirconia-based nanosystems exposed to shock-wave treatment

The special features of the structure and phase composition of nanocrystalline zirconia-based powders subjected to shock-wave treatment are studied. The investigations show that zirconia with small amounts of yttria and/or alumina is in nanocrystalline and quasi-amorphous states representing a nonequilibrium solid solution of ZrO2 (Y, Al) and that an increase in the monoclinic phase abundance is associated with a reduction in the critical size of tetragonal crystallites due to an accumulation of lattice microdistortions. The monoclinic phase in powders with yttria and alumina additions is not formed even with shock compression at pressures up to 20 GPa. This is attributed to the fact that the resultant lattice microdistortion level is inadequate to destabilize the nanocrystalline tetragonal phase. Relaxation of microdistortions on annealing causes the critical size of tetragonal crystallites to increase. As this takes place, the monoclinic phase is converted into the tetragonal one.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 61–70, September, 2004.     

Determination of the glueball mass spectrum with allowance for spin-orbital interactions

The mass spectrum of a coupled state is analytically determined. The mechanism of production of a constituent mass of particles forming a coupled state is explained. The change of the coupled state and constituent particle component masses attendant to changes of the coupling constant is analyzed. The mass spectrum of a two-gluon glueball is determined with allowance for spin-orbital and spin-spin interactions.__________Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 33–41, December, 2004.

Electrophysical and Thermal Parameters of Thermal Plasma in a High-Frequency Induction Discharge

A semiempirical model is proposed for the calculation of electrical, magnetic and thermal parameters of the plasma of a high-frequency induction discharge. The model is based on solving a system of two-dimensional Maxwell equations written for a cylindrical coordinate system.     

A Semiconductor Laser of the Visible Range as an Exciting Source of Raman Scattering

A possibility of application of semiconductor lasers of the visible range as exciting sources for Raman spectroscopy is studied. An experimental set-up for measuring Raman spectra of polycrystalline dielectrics and broad-gap semiconductors excited by a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 640 nm was created. The conditions under which the spectral width of the lasing line of a semiconductor laser was within 10^-3 cm^-1 in the continuous mode with a power of 10 mW are realized. The characteristics of various types of exciting sources used in Raman spectroscopy are compared. The results of studies of the characteristic Raman spectra excited with a semiconductor laser in polycrystalline sulfur are presented.     

Physical Interpretation of the Motion of a Laser Pulse within the Framework of the Four-Oscillator Model

A physical multidimensional local model of the propagation process of a laser pulse in air having no analogy to famous models in laser physics is constructed. It is based on the representations of classical wave mechanics characteristic of the theory of scalar wave fields.
