The solar wind almost disappeared on May 11, 1999: the solar wind plasma density and dynamic pressure were less than 1cm−3 and 0.1 nPa respectively, while the interplanetary magnetic field was northward. The polar ionospheric data observed by the multi-instruments at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica on such special event day was compared with those of the control day (May 14). It was shown that geomagnetic activity was very quiet on May 11 at Zhongshan. The magnetic pulsation, which usually occurred at about magnetic noon, did not appear. The ionosphere was steady and stratified, and the F2 layer spread very little. The critical frequency of day-side F2 layer, f0F2, was larger than that of control day, and the peak of f0F2 appeared 2 hours earlier. The ionospheric drift velocity was less than usual. There were intensive auroral Es appearing at magnetic noon. All this indicates that the polar ionosphere was extremely quiet and geomagnetic field was much more dipolar on May 11. There were some signatures of auroral substorm before midnight, such as the negative deviation of the geomagnetic H component, accompanied with auroral Es and weak Pc3 pulsation.

A new geometrical method to determine the surface damage threshold for ultrashort pulses is presented. It consists in the formation of a surface damage profile by a movement of the sample across the laser beam focus. A single measurement of the maximum transversal dimension of this damage profile, which depends solely on the laser beam power, is used to calculate the local damage threshold intensity. It is also theoretically shown that the damage in the transverse dimension can be controlled under the diffraction-limited spot. 相似文献
Dependence of the phase transition temperature on the domain size is investigated for a double-well quadratic potential. It
is shown that for a domain whose boundary is subjected to a hydrostatical pressure, the temperature of phase transitions is
independent of the domain and the surface tension coefficient and depends exclusively on the properties of the elastic media.
If the displacement field vanishes on the boundary, then for sufficiently small domains, the temperature also does not depend
on the surface tension and domain size and is determined by properties of the elastic media only. Bibliography: 8 titles.

We consider the radiation from nonoscillating dipoles traveling with constant velocity directed parallel or antiparallel to
the velocity of a homogeneous transparent moving medium. It is assumed that the medium in its rest frame is isotropic and
has no spatial dispersion. We obtain expressions for the radiative energy losses and estimate the polarization energy losses
of electric and magnetic dipoles of different orientations. In particular, it is shown that the energy loss of a source is
negative if it moves in the direction of the medium motion and the source velocity is less than the medium velocity. Estimates
for the energy losses of dipoles in the cases of an electron beam and a flow of a weakly dispersive medium are given.
