Stability of Electronic Colour Centres in NaF:Li Single Crystals

The influence of the lithium impurity on the formation and the stability of electronic colour centres is studied in NaF crystals. It is found that F- and M-absorption bands are somewhat displaced to the long wavelengthes when doping with lithium owing to the overlapping with F_A- and M_A-absorption bands. It is shown that the lithium impurity is stabilising one for the charged M-centres though their accumulation in the doped crystals occurs slower. The activation energy is determined for the thermal destruction of M⁺- centres. Thermal destruction of M⁺-centres assumed to be resulting from the anion vacancy removal.     

Collective current rectification

We consider a set of coupled underdamped ac-driven dynamical units exposed to a heat bath. The coupling scheme defines the absence/presence of certain symmetries, which in turn cause a nonzero/zero value of a mean dc-output. We discuss dynamical mechanisms of a dc-current appearance and identify current reversals with synchronization/desynchronization transitions in the collective ratchet's dynamics.     

A simple description of the temperature dependence of the width of the fission-fragment mass yield in ~(197)Au and ~(209)Bi at intermediate energies

A simple approach is proposed to describe the experimental data for the widths of the fission-fragment mass yields in~(197)Au and~(209)Bi at low and intermediate energies.The approach is based on the expressions for the temperature dependence of the width of the fission-fragment mass yield and the mass of the most probable fragment.The expression for the width of the fission-fragment mass yield depends on the mass of the most probable fragment,the surface terms of the energy level density parameter,the temperature and the stiffness parameter of the potential related to mass-asymmetric degree of freedom.It is shown that the contribution of the surface term of the energy level density parameter is important for describing the experimental data in a wide range of energies.

Inverse problems for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation in the case of moving observation point

We consider two inverse coefficient problems for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation, where the additional information used for finding the coefficients is the values of the solution on some curve. (This corresponds to measurements performed at a moving observation point.) The unknown coefficient depends on the space variable in the first inverse problem and on the solution of the equation in the second inverse problem. We prove theorems of uniqueness of solution to the inverse problems.     

Numerical methods for some inverse problems of heart electrophysiology

We consider numerical methods for solving inverse problems that arise in heart electrophysiology. The first inverse problem is the Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation. Its solution algorithm is based on the Tikhonov regularization method and the method of boundary integral equations. The second inverse problem is the problem of finding the discontinuity surface of the coefficient of conductivity of a medium on the basis of the potential and its normal derivative given on the exterior surface. For its numerical solution, we suggest a method based on the method of boundary integral equations and the assumption on a special representation of the unknown surface.
