On the mechanism of phenol ozonolysis

The mechanisms of liquid-phase phenol ozonation are revised. A new mechanism in which a significant role is played by free-radical reactions is suggested for this process.     

Charm production in two-photon collisions: Calculation of the leading nonperturbative contribution in QCD

The leading nonperturbative contribution to the cross section of charm production in two-photon collisions is calculated in QCD. Operator expansion is used and the c-quark interaction with vacuum gluon condensate is taken into account. As a result, the moments of the charm contribution to the photon structure function are obtained. The moments with sufficiently high numbers turn out to be sensitive to the gluon condensate.

Initial-Boundary Value Problem for the Reynolds Lubrication Equation

The nonstationary Reynolds equation of the theory of gas lubrication is considered. The existence and uniqueness of a solution to the initial-boundary value problem for this equation are established in the case of sufficiently smooth data. Estimates for the solution are obtained for large bearing numbers. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Dynamics of fluorescence of solid solutions of quantum dots and the organic dye DODCI: Experiment and numerical simulation

The fluorescence of solid solutions of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and the organic dye DODCI is investigated. It is shown that nonradiative transfer of electronic excitation energy to dye molecules, which with some probability lose their acceptor properties as a result of photoisomerization or photodegradation, is responsible for a significant increase in the fluorescence intensity of a donor. The degree of polarization of the donor fluorescence attains values exceeding 0.5, which is due to the difference in the fluorescence quantum yields of donors with different orientations of the oscillator with respect to the electric vector of an excitation light wave. A numerical simulation of the experimentally observed dependences is performed.
