Efficiency of shear surface wave transformation by the motion of the confining domain wall

The transformation of a shear surface magnetoelastic wave by the motion of the 180° confining domain wall in a ferromagnet is considered. Changes in the wave spectrum due to the motion of the wall are correlated with the variations of the energies of the elastic and magnetic subsystems. The efficiency of surface wave transformation by the domain wall motion is estimated in terms of energy. The frequency dependences of the mean energy density of the wave are found. It is shown that the energy density grows with wall velocity.     

Molecular structures of acetylene derivatives of tin: Part IV. Gas-phase electron-diffraction study of tetraethynyltin,Sn(CCH)4, and triethynyltin iodide,ISn(CCH)3

The geometrical parameters of tetraethynyltin and triethynyltin iodide have been determined by gas-phase electron diffraction. Triethynyltin iodide was present as an admixture in both the tetraethynyltin samples studied. Because the samples differed significantly in percentage of the iodide (17.4 ± 4.0 and 47.1 ± 3.5 mol %, in samples A and B, respectively), it was possible to determine the structures of both molecules to a sufficient degree of accuracy.The r_α, structures were solved by the least-squares treatment of the molecular intensities, using mean amplitudes and shrinkage corrections calculated from the force fields of a number of tin derivatives.The T_d-symmetry model of Sn(CCH)₄ was refined to give the following parameters: Sn-C, 2.068(5); CC, 1.228(8); CH, 1.079(51). The structural parameters for ISn(CCH)₃ (on the basis of the C_3v model with linear Sn-CC-H fragments) are as follows: Sn-I, 2.646(4); Sn-C, 2.062(17); CC, 1.226(6); ∠ISnC 108.0(2.8). (The thermal average bond distances, r_g, are given in Å, and the valence angle, rα, in degrees; the values in paren- theses are three times the standard deviations, 3σ.)The Sn-C bonds in Sn(CCH)₄, and ISn(CCH)₃ are shorter than the corresponding bonds in the monoethynyltin derivatives, Me₃SnCCH and Me₃SnCCSnMe₃. The SnI bond in ISn(CCH)₃ is noticeably shorter than those in stannane iodide and trimethylstannane iodide.     

Spin-injection radiation of terahertz waves in ferromagnetic structures

We propose and discuss the mechanisms of terahertz sd exchange radiation during transmission of the spin-polarized current in a structure from a thin steel rod pressured to an ultrathin ferromagnetic film. The two mechanisms considered are quantum transitions between the quasi-Fermi levels in the film near the rod and precession of injected spins around the film magnetization.     

Magnetostatic waves in the gap of ferromagnetic crystals with relative longitudinal displacement

The propagation of magnetostatic gap waves in the gap between two oppositely magnetized ferromagnets with a relative longitudinal displacement is considered. It is shown that the relative motion of the crystals has the form of the spectrum of magnetostatic waves. In particular, it is found that for certain values of the gap width, the velocity of relative motion of the crystals, and the magnetostatic wavelength, normal (anomalous) dispersion of the symmetric (antisymmetric) mode of the gap structure is transformed into the anomalous (normal) type of dispersion.     

Acoustic thermometric data on blood flow and thermal output in forearm under physical pressure

The influence of blood flow and thermal output on temperature changes in the human forearm under physical pressure is studied by acoustic thermometry. Compression of the shoulder with a tourniquet decreases blood flow, which make it possible to evaluate the thermal output characteristics only. In calculating the depth temperature of the forearm, the thermal conductivity equation was used and blood flow and additional thermal output sources were taken into account. According to the calculations in which the experimental data were used, the peak depth temperature of the forearm at rest is 36°C. Due to thermal output alone (without blood flow), physical pressure increases this temperature to 37°C, and when both factors are considered, the temperature rises to 38°C. The experiments in question have allowed us to test acoustic thermographic method on subjects, which is an important step in adopting acoustic thermography in clinical practice.     

Determination of the dynamics of temperature variation in a model object by acoustic thermography

An experiment on monitoring the dynamics of internal temperature variation in a model object by the acoustic thermography method is carried out. The measurements were performed in a cell filled with an aqueous solution of glycerol, into which a plasticine object was placed. Thermal acoustic radiation of the object was measured in the course of its heating and cooling. Two bars of acoustic thermometers positioned on two sides of the object were used for this purpose. The results of measurements allowed the reconstruction of the dynamics of the varying two-dimensional distribution of in-depth temperature. The position of the heated region, its temperature, and its characteristic size are estimated. In addition, an estimate is obtained for the absorption coefficient.     

Tautomeric and conformational stabilities of methylphosphonic dicyanide, methoxydicyanophosphine, and their isocyano analogs: an ab initio calculation

The relative energies and structural parameters of the equilibrium forms and the potential functions of internal rotation of methylphosphonic dicyanide, CH₃(=O)(CN)₂, methoxydicyanophosphine, CH₃OP(CN)₂, and their isocyano analogs, CH₃P(=O)(NC)₂ and CH₃OP(NC)₂, have been calculated at the RHF/6-31G* level. The total energy of the more stable oxo forms CH₃P(=O)(CN)₂ and CH₃P(=O)(NC)₂ are 10–20 kcal mol⁻¹ lower than the energies of the aci forms CH₃OP(CN)₂ and CH₃OP(NC)₂. The relative stabilities of the cyano and isocyano isomers are almost the same in the case of the oxo forms, but for the aci forms the energies of the cyano isomers are 8 kcal mol⁻¹ lower than those of the isocyano isomers. The potential curves for internal rotation in the aci forms are characterized by a deep minimum corresponding to the trans arrangement of the methyl group and the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. Two less pronounced minima are symmetrically situated with respect to relative maximum corresponding to the transition cis form. The potential curves of internal rotation in the oxo form possess three minima corresponding to staggered configurations of the methyl group and phosphorus atom bonds. The energy characteristics and geometrical parameters of the studied molecules are compared with known data for similar compounds.     

Toxic metal complexes of macrocyclic cyclen molecule – synthesis,structure and complexing properties

Toxic metal (Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺) complexes with the tetradentate macrocyclic ligand - cyclen (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, [12]aneN₄, L) were prepared and studied in the solid state by IR, X-ray diffraction, elemental and thermal analysis. Diffraction results have yielded three molecular structures, [Cd([12]ane-κ⁴N^1,4,7,10)(NO₃)₂)] (1), [Hg([12]ane-κ⁴N^1,4,7,10)(NO₃-κ²O,O`)]NO₃ (2), [Pb₂([12]ane-κ⁴N^1,4,7,10)₂][Pb(NO₃)₆] (3) and one polymeric structure {[Ag₂([12]ane-κ³N^1,4,7)(μ₂-[12]aneN¹⁰)](NO₃)₂?2H₂O)}_n (4) featuring a unique coordination mode not observed before with cyclen as a ligand. The monodentate (1) and chelate (with small bite angle 50.3(3)°, (2) coordination modes of nitrate ligands were confirmed. Stereochemically active 6s² lone pair was suggested in 3 and DFT results confirmed no significant metal–metal covalent bond. The stability constants of the complexes with Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions were determined by potentiometric methods in aqueous solutions. Additionally, the structures of complexes in solution were observed by ¹H NMR. Both methods confirm similar cyclen complexing properties toward Zn²⁺ biometal and Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ toxic metals.
