Ordering of substitutional ternary alloys with an fcc lattice

The possible types of ordering diagrams of ternary substutional alloys with an fcc lattice are analyzed, taking account of interactions in two coordination spheres.Ural Polytechnic Institute. Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 38–41, December, 1992.     

Magnetic behaviour of TbMnFe

Neutron diffraction and M?ssbauer measurements have been carried out on the cubic Laves phase intermetallic TbMnFe. The magnetic moment on the transition metal atom is found to be low, 0.2μ _B, at room temperature. This moment is temperature independent down to 10 K. Magnetic moment on the rare earth atom varies from 2.5μ _B at 296 K to 7.27μ _B at 10 K. M?ssbauer spectra recorded at 298 K and 78 K have magnetic character but there is a large distribution of hyperfine field values. Both these features arise due to magnetic frustration created in the sample due to the competing ferro and antiferromagnetic interactions between the transition metal atoms.     

Sorption of chromium hydroxide sol on silica studied by radiotracing

This study was undertaken to investigate the sorption behavior of chromium hydroxide sol on silica type adsorbent in aqueous solution. Radioisotopic tracer method was used to assess data. This technique allowed sensitive kinetic and equilibrium measurements in both direction: sorption and desorption, which are strongly dependent on solution conditions, such as pH, ionic strength or the presence of complexing species. Total removal of sol particles could not be achieved, even under the most favorable experimental conditions (acidification).     

Investigation of the fundamental properties of a Coulombian plasma by the method of many-particle dynamics

It is shown that a completely ionized, classical, Coulombian plasma, placed in an adiabatic enclosure, possesses a stationary state. At the same time, a plasma placed in a thermostat recombines through triple collisions, with a velocity satisfactorily accounted for by well-known theoretical results. The results obtained by numerical modeling have shown that, for a plasma placed in an adiabatic enclosure, the ergodic assumption is not valid. Various possible kinetic mechanisms, ensuring the existence of a stationary state of the adiabatically enclosed plasma, are considered.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 3–34, November, 1991.     

μSR in oxygen deficient YBa2Cu3O x (6.5⩽x⩽7.0)

A systematic μSR study of the local magnetic field distribution in a series of oxygen deficient YBa₂Cu₃O _x samples with 6.5⩽x⩽7.0 is reported. Special attention was given to perform the experiments under the same conditions, so that the oxygen content of the measured samples was the only parameter varied. The behavior of the depolarization rate σ as a function of the oxygen contentx was found to have strong similarities with the behavior of the critical temperatureT _c as a function ofx. In particular, two step-like increases of σ were observed abovex=6.7 and 6.9. The temperature dependence of the normalized depolarization rate σ(T)/σ(0) is well described by the two-fluid model forx⩾6.781(1) and clearly deviates from this behavior forx⩽6.704(1). Our results are compared to those obtained by other groups.     

Pion pair production in photon-photon collisions

The process γγ→π⁺π^? was measured using the detector MD-1 at VEPP-4. The two-photon reactionse ⁺ e ^?, μ⁺ μ^? and π⁺ π^? pair production were separated using scintillation counters, Cherenkov counters and shower-range chambers. A radiation widthГ _γγ(f ₂(1270))=3.1±0.35±0.35 keV was obtained.     

某些查耳酮化合物的发光

本文叙述了两个同质查耳酮系列的合成.一个带有查耳酮中心链(系列Ⅰ),另一个是系列Ⅰ的酯类(系列Ⅱ).研究了每个系列中三种化合物的发光,发现两个系列的所有化合物都能见到发光.系列Ⅰ中的化合物在峰值为360nm处可见到发光,而系Ⅱ列中的化合物未能观测到这一波长的发光.然而,在峰值为470nm处两者均可见到发光.得出的结论是,消除非键电子微扰作用的氢键是系列Ⅰ中的化合物在360nm处出现发光的原因.     

Testing deviations from the inverse square law with a freely falling gravity gradiometer at balloon altitudes

Summary We discuss a null experiment to search for the fifth force at ranges around 10 km. It is proposed to use a three-axis gravity gradiometer to measure the trace of the Earth gravity tensor from a freely falling elevator dropped by a balloon. The main error sources are considered to some extent. Paper presented at the V Cosmic Physics National Conference, S. Miniato, November 27–30, 1990.
