Dynamics of η→3π0 decay

The η→3π⁰ decay was studied with the SND detector at the VEPP-2Me ⁺ e ^? collider. The parameter that describes deviation of the Dalitz plot of events from a uniform distribution was found to be α=?0.010±0.021±0.010.     

Certification of Control Gas Mixtures Using Modern Spectroscopy: an Approach and Application

The possibility of using the available spectroscopic databases for high-precision measurements of spectral parameters of gases has been studied. A new approach to measuring concentrations of gaseous components (НCl, CO, NO, SO₂) in gas mixtures employing the HITRAN or GEISA spectroscopic databases has been proposed. A certification method of control gas mixtures using Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy has been developed to transfer the mole-fraction units to working standards in order to reduce the required number of reference standards and improve the accuracy of measurements.     

Transition metal complexes with 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-quinone 1′-phthalazinylhydrazone

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-quinone 1′-phthalazinylhydrazone (HL) was synthesized. Quantum-chemical calculations of the energy of possible tautomeric forms of the hydrazone were performed. The complexes of Zn(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) of ML₂ composition were obtained and studied. The structure of the NiL₂ complex was established by XRD. It was shown by DFT-D3 calculations that the cis-structure of the complex is stabilized due to the interligand dispersion interaction.     

Suppression of superconductivity in granular metals

We investigate the suppression of the superconducting transition temperature due to Coulomb repulsion in granular metallic systems at large tunneling conductance between the grains, g(T)>1. We find the correction to the superconducting transition temperature for 3D granular samples and films. We demonstrate that, depending on the parameters of superconducting grains, the corresponding granular samples can be divided into two groups: (i). the granular samples that belong to the first group may have only insulating or superconducting states at zero temperature depending on the bare intergranular tunneling conductance g(T), while (ii). the granular samples that belong to the second group in addition have an intermediate metallic phase where superconductivity is suppressed while the effects of the Coulomb blockade are not yet strong.     

Measurement of the cross section for the e + e ? → ωπ0 → π0π0γ process in the energy range of 1.1–1.9 GeV

The cross section for the e ⁺ e ^? ?? ???⁰ ?? ??⁰??⁰?? process has been measured in the energy range of 1.1?C1.9 GeV. The measurement has been made with the Spherical Neutral Detector at the VEPP-2000 e ⁺ e ^? collider. The data in the energy range of 1.1?C1.4 GeV are in agreement with the earlier measurements with the SND and CMD-2 detectors. The cross section has also been measured above 1.4 GeV.     

Tetranuclear Copper(II) Complex with N,N′-bis(2-N-Tosylaminobenzylidene)-1,3-Diaminopropan-2-ol: Crystal structure and magnetic properties

Tetranuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu₄L₂(OOCCH₂COO)], where L is triply deprotonated bis-N,N′-(2-N-tosylaminobenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol, in which two binuclear fragments are linked by the malonate dianion, is synthesized. The exchange interaction in the binuclear clusters is shown to be antiferromagnetic (2J = ?59 cm^?1), whereas the intercluster interaction is ferromagnetic (zJ’ = 7.5 cm^?1). The structure of the DMSO solvate of the complex is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Structure and magnetic properties of binuclear copper(II) complexes with 2,6-diformyl-4-tert-butylphenol bis(imidazolinyl)hydrazone

Binuclear copper(II) complexes with bis(imidazolinyl)hydrazone of 2,6-diformyl-4-tert-butylphenol have been prepared and studied. In all complexes the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the copper(II) ions is observed.     

Effect of Coupling between Rotational and Translational Brownian Motions on NMR Spin Relaxation: Consideration Using Green Function of Rigid Body Diffusion

Using the Green function of arbitrary rigid Brownian diffusion (Goldstein,Biopolymers33, 409–436, 1993), it was analytically shown that coupling between translation and rotation diffusion degrees of freedom does not affect the correlation functions relevant to the NMR intramolecular relaxation. It follows that spectral densities usually used for the anisotropic rotation diffusion (Woessner,J. Chem. Phys.37, 647–654, 1962) can be regarded as exact in respect to the rotation–translation coupling for the spin system connected with a rigid body.
