The structure and phase composition of stabilized zirconia-based nanosystems exposed to shock-wave treatment

The special features of the structure and phase composition of nanocrystalline zirconia-based powders subjected to shock-wave treatment are studied. The investigations show that zirconia with small amounts of yttria and/or alumina is in nanocrystalline and quasi-amorphous states representing a nonequilibrium solid solution of ZrO2 (Y, Al) and that an increase in the monoclinic phase abundance is associated with a reduction in the critical size of tetragonal crystallites due to an accumulation of lattice microdistortions. The monoclinic phase in powders with yttria and alumina additions is not formed even with shock compression at pressures up to 20 GPa. This is attributed to the fact that the resultant lattice microdistortion level is inadequate to destabilize the nanocrystalline tetragonal phase. Relaxation of microdistortions on annealing causes the critical size of tetragonal crystallites to increase. As this takes place, the monoclinic phase is converted into the tetragonal one.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 61–70, September, 2004.     

Determination of the glueball mass spectrum with allowance for spin-orbital interactions

The mass spectrum of a coupled state is analytically determined. The mechanism of production of a constituent mass of particles forming a coupled state is explained. The change of the coupled state and constituent particle component masses attendant to changes of the coupling constant is analyzed. The mass spectrum of a two-gluon glueball is determined with allowance for spin-orbital and spin-spin interactions.__________Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 33–41, December, 2004.

A Semiconductor Laser of the Visible Range as an Exciting Source of Raman Scattering

A possibility of application of semiconductor lasers of the visible range as exciting sources for Raman spectroscopy is studied. An experimental set-up for measuring Raman spectra of polycrystalline dielectrics and broad-gap semiconductors excited by a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 640 nm was created. The conditions under which the spectral width of the lasing line of a semiconductor laser was within 10^-3 cm^-1 in the continuous mode with a power of 10 mW are realized. The characteristics of various types of exciting sources used in Raman spectroscopy are compared. The results of studies of the characteristic Raman spectra excited with a semiconductor laser in polycrystalline sulfur are presented.     

On the transmission rate of classical information through quantum communication channels

The coding of quantum communication channels in real time is considered as applied to the situation when information is coded into continuous quantum degrees of freedom (into the shape of the amplitude of quantum states with an arbitrary number of photons). It is shown that the nonlocalizability of states in quantum field theory requires that the identity of particles should be taken into account. This, together with the finiteness of the limit speed of propagation, leads to the fact that the formulas for the transmission rate of nonrelativistic communication channels have an asymptotic character; i.e., these formulas are formally valid only when the separation between messages is infinite (when the identity of particles can be neglected) and, hence, when the transmission rate in [bit/message s] is infinitely small. A real-time information capacity of a sequential relativistic quantum communication channel is obtained that takes into account the identity of particles for pure signal states with an arbitrary number of photons. An explicit analytic expression is obtained for the transmission rate of a quantum channel of finite bandwidth for one-photon input states.     

Model for describing the production of Centauro events and strangelets in heavy-ion collisions

A phenomenological model for describing the production of Centauro events in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed. The model provides quantitative predictions for kinematical variables, for the baryon number, and for the masses of a Centauro fireball and of its decay products. A Centauro fireball decays predominantly into nucleons, strange hyperons, and possibly strangelets. Centauro events in Pb + Pb collisions at the LHC energy are simulated for the CASTOR detector. The signatures of these events are discussed in detail.     

Interaction of electron neutrinos with <Superscript>56</Superscript>Fe in the LSD for <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">⊻</Emphasis></Subscript>≤50 MeV

The neutrino pulses detected by the LSD (Liquid Scintillator Detector) on February 23, 1987, are analyzed on the basis of a two-stage model of supernova explosion. The number of events due to the electron-neutrino interaction with ⁵⁶Fe in the LSD is calculated. The obtained number of signals is in agreement with experimental data.
