Determination of gallium by anodic stripping square-wave voltammetry Detection of a GaZn intermetallic compound and its destruction by Sb in an NaSCNNaClO(4) supporting electrolyte

Reproducibility for successive determinations with a hanging mercury drop electrode is assessed in relation to solution stirring, drop size and back-diffusion to the mercury thread. The effect of experimental parameters such as drop size, deposition time and gallium concentration on the observed stripping current is investigated. The interference of zinc present in a 0.5M NaSCN + 4.2M NaClO(4) supporting electrolyte on the gallium detection limit and calibration plots is described. Formation of an intermetallic compound with a Zn:Ga ratio of 2:3 and its destruction by co-deposition of zinc with Sb are reported. A detection limit of 10(-8)M gallium was obtained in the presence of 10(-5)M Sb(III).

Calculation of exclusive processes with baryons

Using the nucleon andΔ ₃₃-resonance wave functions found out in previous papers [14, 15] we calculate the electromagnetic and weak nucleon formfactors, the transition formfactorγ \(\bar N\) Δ and the decay widths of charmonium levels³ S ₁,³ P ₂ and³ P ₁ into \(\bar N\) N and \(\bar \Delta \) Δ.     

Lepton phenomenology and neutrinoless double β-decay in superstring inspired theories

The properties of neutrinos,s-leptons,s-quarks as well as the coloured isosinglet \(\tilde D\) and \(\tilde D^c \) are studied in superstring inspired models. Furthermore the neutrinoless double β-decay process is investigated, including light and heavy majorana neutrinos, as well as the contribution of the exotic Higgs scalars of the theory. From the current experimental limits onov-ββ-decay, useful constraints are imposed on the masses and Yukawa couplings of the theory.     

Relativistic correction to the triton binding energy in the framework of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics

The relativistic correction to the triton binding energy approximated to the order (v/c)² is calculated in the framework of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. We discuss the generator representation of the Poincaré group for three relativistic particles and its connection with the Feynman diagrams in the infinite-momentum frame (the light-front dynamics). The relativistic correction enhances the attraction in the three-nucleon system. The five-channel calculation with the Reid soft-core potential yeilds the result =–0.54 MeV, which is governed mainly by theD-wave contribution. TheS-wave contributions to are only –0.10 MeV.     

Laser-pulse fluctuations due to thermal self-action in a turbulent atmosphere

Conclusions Refractive-index fluctuations caused by heating alter the intensity and phase fluctuation spectra arising from the turbulence. The large-scale part of the spectra is weakened, whereas the small-scale part is strengthened, and the spatial-frequency range in which the fluctuations are attenuated becomes narrower as the beam energy increases. Correspondingly, the fluctuation structure functions alter. For values of the arguments in those functions less than the radius of the first Fresnel zone , the thermal nonlinearity causes increases in the structural functions D_, with the energy. For , the dependence of D_, on energy is nonmonotone, with the fluctuations at first weakened but then strengthened. The reduction in fluctuation variance and the improvement in coherence is less pronounced over long lines than on short ones. The range in which geometrical optics can be used to derive the fluctuations is independent of the nonlinearity and is defined by k₂z/2k /4. The trend to the diffraction asymptote becomes slower as the nonlinearity increases.Atmospheric Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

On FMR modes in bubble domain lattices

Two solutions of the problem of non-uniform ferromagnetic resonance in a hexagonal bubble domain lattice are presented under the simplifying assumption of lattice period much smaller than the film thickness. Fine divisions of the lattice cell into supposedly uniform subdomains render sets of linear equations for the local amplitudes which are solved numerically. Analytical solution of the time-dependent magnetostatic (Walker-mode) problem is obtained by expansion in simple elliptic functions similar to that suggested by Sigal. The results support, respectively, the interpretation of FMR experiments derived by Klem and Kaczér from a crude (minimal) subdivision of the elementary cell, and the three-mode dipolar-field model recently proposed by the author on a largely intuitive basis.     

Killing vectors of vacuum space times and electromagnetic four potentials

A conjecture is formulated about the connection between isometries of vacuum space times and the existence of corresponding space times with electromagnetic fields for which the structure of electromagnetic four potentials is readily predicted. One example is presented showing how this conjecture works, three others are only commented.     

Speeding-up and scaling of domain-wall relaxation nearT c of a uniaxial ferromagnet

The dynamic susceptibility () measured between 10 Hz and 10 MHz on different GdCl₃-ellipsoids (T _c=2.21 K) reveals a completely reversible motion of the domain walls. Taking into account the contribution of the fast adiabatic intradomain magnetization to the nearly Debye-shaped (), we determine for the first time the kinetic Onsager coefficientL _d of the domain wall relaxation of a ferromagnet. Approaching the CurietemperatureL _d speeds up critically, which by a novel simple relaxational model can be related to the increasing width (=correlation length) of linear Bulaevskii-Ginzburg domain-walls and to the shrinking domain period. The reduction ofL _d by an external field can be represented by a universal scaling function, and within the same dynamical model, this effect is ascribed to the increase of the domain period, predicted for a bubble phase. However, the effect of sample size onL _d is much smaller than expected.
