Beryllium (boron) clustering quest in relativistic multifragmentation (BECQUEREL Project)

A physical program of irradiation of emulsions in beams of relativistic nuclei named the BECQUEREL Project is reviewed. It is destined to study in detail the processes of relativistic fragmentation of light radioactive and stable nuclei. The expected results would make it possible to answer some topical questions concerning the cluster structure of light nuclei. Owing to the best spatial resolution, the nuclear emulsions would enable one to obtain unique and evident results. The most important irradiations will be performed in the secondary beams of He, Be, B, C, and N radioactive nuclei formed on the basis of JINR Nuclotron beams of stable nuclei. We present results on the charged state topology of relativistic fragmentation of the ¹⁰B nucleus at low energy-momentum transfers as the first step of the research.     

Polyaniline/12-phosphotungstic acid/V<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript> nanocomposite and its platinum analog as oxygen reduction electrocatalysts

A guest-host nanocomposite based on electroconducting polyaniline doped with 12-phosphotungstic acid and V₂O₅ as well as its bifunctional analog containing not more than 5 mass% nanosized platinum were obtained. A study was carried out on the structure of these nanocomposites, their redox characteristics, and electrocatalytic activity in the reduction of oxygen. These nanocomposites were found to display catalytic properties in the electrochemical reduction of oxygen, while the presence of even a slight amount of nanosized platinum in the bifunctional composite leads to a significant increase in its electrocatalytic activity. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 307–314, September–October, 2007.     

CFD在燃煤细粒子凝聚过程中的应用

燃煤产生的细粒子富集了大量的有毒痕量元素,对大气环境和人类健康造成严重危害。本文针对燃煤细粒子的形成过程,在计算流体力学(CFD)的基础上,结合气溶胶动力学理论,模拟了烟气中细粒子在圆柱形流场中由于碰撞而凝聚的过程,并通过计算结果分析细粒子颗粒特征参量(速度、质量、直径和颗粒数目)随流场的变化趋势,为深入研究燃煤细粒子的形成演化机理提供理论基础。

乌桕类可可脂结晶过程中表现体积变化

为了解乌桕类可可脂(CTCBE)缓冷结晶横向胀罐爆裂原因，研究CTCBE结晶过程中的膨胀特性，采用流体静力法测试了不同等温结晶条件下CTCBE结晶形成的表观密度和表观体积及其横纵向膨胀状况。结果表明，CTCBE缓冷结晶后形成外部和中部两个晶区。在5-25℃的各等温结晶范围内，当结晶温度增加时，外部结晶区域减小、表观密度变化不大；中部结晶区域增大、表观密度明显减小，CTCBE的表观体积、横向、纵向膨胀率均增大，膨胀横向大于纵向。进一步表明CTCBE在自然缓冷固化的表观体积根本上由其结晶温度决定。为有效防止横向胀罐，自然缓冷固化温度应低于10℃。

Study of the dissolution and growth of salt single crystals in inhomogeneous acoustic fields: I. A standing acoustic wave

The growth of the isolated (100) face of a KDP crystal at exposure of the phase boundary to the initial ultrasound field and a standing acoustic wave has been investigated. A significant growth response of this face, exposed to sound normally along the acoustic axis in the near zone of a piston-like half-wave vibrator with f = 20 kHz and tangentially in the pulsed two-frequency (f = 600 and 900 kHz) standing-wave mode, has been revealed. It is shown that the mechanisms of mass exchange enhancement in these acoustic modes are different. The results obtained show a fundamental possibility of controlling crystal growth and dissolution by varying the parameters of inhomogeneous acoustic field.     

Doping of KDP single crystals with cerium: Growth and optical properties

The features of doping of KDP crystals with cerium ions and organocerium complexes with alizarin complexon and arsenazo III have been investigated. It is established that “direct” doping by introducing cerium salts into the initial solution cannot be implemented. The effect of organometallic complexes of cerium on the crystal growth has been studied. Organocerium complexes predominantly enter the prismatic or pyramidal growth sectors. It is shown that the complex arsenazo III + Ce blocks the growth of the prismatic sector. Cerium-doped KDP crystals exhibit a photoluminescence band peaking at the wavelength λ_max= 350 nm.     

Effect of oxygen deficit and nonuniform distribution of technological impurities on the dielectric properties of Y3Fe5O12 crystals

The experimental and calculated values of the optical permittivity ε_∞ have been analyzed and generalized with allowance for the oxygen concentration and possible valences of Fe and O ions in YIG single crystals. It is shown that the deficit of oxygen ions in the samples is accompanied by a decrease in ε_∞. A decrease in the gradient of distribution of Ba ions over the sample thickness decreases the difference between the calculated and experimental values. It is revealed that the ratio of the number of valence electrons to the number of core electrons, with regard to their polarizabilities, is proportional to the ratio of the incoherent and coherent X-ray scattering intensities, nk/k.
