Spin glasses on the basis of rare earth metal compounds

A new class of materials is constructed of rare earth metals and their compounds by introduction of a large number of defects into the crystal lattice-dislocations and unelastic disclinations. It is shown that superconductive phase state is possible in these materials having spin glass magnetic structure. A technique of such a state observation is suggested.     

Nonaxisymmetric thermal stress state of laminated rotational bodies of orthotropic materials under nonisothermic loading

A procedure for numerical investigation of nonaxisymmetric temperature fields and the elastic stress-strain state of laminated rotational bodies of cylindrically and rectilinearly orthotropic materials under nonisothermal loading is proposed. The deformation of orthotropic materials is described by the equations of anisotropic elasticity theory. The equations of state are written in the form of Hookes law for homogeneous materials, with additional terms which take into account the thermal deformation, changes in the mechanical properties of materials in the circumferential direction, and their dependence on temperature. A semianalytic finite-element method in combination with the method of successive approximations is used. An algorithm for numerical solution of the corresponding nonlinear boundary problem is elaborated, which is realized as a package of applied FORTRAN programs. Some numerical results are presented.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 731–752, November–December, 2004.     

Magnetoresistance of a 2D electron gas caused by electron interactions in the transition from the diffusive to the ballistic regime

On a high-mobility 2D electron gas we have observed, in strong magnetic fields (omega(c)tau>1), a parabolic negative magnetoresistance caused by electron-electron interactions in the regime of k(B)Ttau/ variant Planck's over 2pi approximately 1, which is the transition from the diffusive to the ballistic regime. From the temperature dependence of this magnetoresistance the interaction correction to the conductivity deltasigma(ee)(xx)(T) is obtained in the situation of a long-range fluctuation potential and strong magnetic field. The results are compared with predictions of the new theory of interaction-induced magnetoresistance.     

Thermal behavior of ammonium-containing titanium and germanium fluoride complexes (NH4)4Li2(AF6)3 and NH4NaAF6 (A = Ge or Ti)

The compounds (NH₄)₄Li₂A₃F₁₈ and NH₄NaAF₆ (A = Ge or Ti) were studied thermogravimetrically. These fluoro complexes are thermolyzed in the range 230–450°C. Measurements on a differential scanning microcalorimeter revealed reversible phase transitions in NH₄NaAF₆ at T ₁ = 126°C and T ₂ = 111°C. Original Russian Text ? T.F. Antokhina, I.N. Flerov, N.N.
