Single-molecule single crystals

Various approaches to the preparation and verification of single-molecule single crystals are discussed for polyethylene and poly (oxyethylene). Analytic tools are electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. The main difficulty in producing a single-molecule single crystal is to keep crystals from joining during growth.     

Diffuse x-ray scattering study of the formation of microdefects in heat-treated dislocation-free large-diameter silicon wafers

Diffuse x-ray scattering (DXS) is used to study the formation of microdefects (MDs) in heat-treated dislocation-free large-diameter silicon wafers with vacancies. The DXS method is shown to be efficient for investigating MDs in silicon single crystals. Specific defects, such as impurity clouds, are found to form in the silicon wafers during low-temperature annealing at 450°C. These defects are oxygen-rich regions in the solid solution with diffuse coherent interfaces. In the following stages of decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution, oxide precipitates form inside these regions and the impurity clouds disappear. As a result of the decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution of oxygen, interstitial MDs form in the silicon wafers during multistep heat treatment. These MDs lie in the {110} planes and have nonspherical displacement fields. The volume density and size of MDs forming in the silicon wafers at various stages of the decomposition are determined.     

Solvothermal synthesis of TiO2: anatase nanocrystals and rutile nanofibres from TiCl4 in acetone

This work reports a new synthetic approach for single‐phase TiO₂ nanomaterials by solvothermal treatment of titanium tetrachloride in acetone at 80–110 °C. Small, uniform, and yet size‐tunable (5–10 nm) anatase titania nanocrystallites were obtained using a low concentration of TiCl₄ in acetone (i.e., at molar ratios of TiCl₄/acetone ≤ 1:15) in the temperature range of 80–110 °C, while rutile nanofibers were synthesized using a high concentration of TiCl₄ (e.g., TiCl₄/acetone = 1:10) at 110 °C.

The large-particle method in arbitrary nets and its application to the solution of problems in the aeroelasticity of a parachute

Modifications are introduced into the large-particle method to make it possible to use the method in arbitrary nonrectangular computing nets in the study of the flow of an ideal compressible gas over mobile thin permeable membranes. A problem in the aeroelasticity of a parachute is stated. An example is given of the solution of a problem in the stationary formulation for an axially symmetric parachute in the wake of a cylindrical leading body for supersonic flow.Translated fromDinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 6, 1987, pp. 16–22     

全球大气重力波联测期间电离层扰动的台阵观测

本文利用武汉电离层观象台的加密频高图和三站Doppler图记录及新近提出的短波扰动反演方法,分析了1985年全球大气重力波联测(WAGS)期间10月18日这天白天的重力波扰动,发现在该日扰动中有两列不同形态的波列分别属于中尺度的内重力波和大尺度的导制重力波。本文还进一步估算了这两列重力波的水平传播参量,深入分析了它们的频谱结构的高度变化特征,发现了重力波功率谱谱峰的分裂和偏移等重要现象。本文结果表明,新的反演方法使电离层无线电汉诊断的简易短波实验系统,也能成为探测和研究重力波一类大尺度电离层动力过程的有效手段。
