On FMR modes in bubble domain lattices

Two solutions of the problem of non-uniform ferromagnetic resonance in a hexagonal bubble domain lattice are presented under the simplifying assumption of lattice period much smaller than the film thickness. Fine divisions of the lattice cell into supposedly uniform subdomains render sets of linear equations for the local amplitudes which are solved numerically. Analytical solution of the time-dependent magnetostatic (Walker-mode) problem is obtained by expansion in simple elliptic functions similar to that suggested by Sigal. The results support, respectively, the interpretation of FMR experiments derived by Klem and Kaczér from a crude (minimal) subdivision of the elementary cell, and the three-mode dipolar-field model recently proposed by the author on a largely intuitive basis.     

Killing vectors of vacuum space times and electromagnetic four potentials

A conjecture is formulated about the connection between isometries of vacuum space times and the existence of corresponding space times with electromagnetic fields for which the structure of electromagnetic four potentials is readily predicted. One example is presented showing how this conjecture works, three others are only commented.     

Dispersive anisotropic ballistic phonon propagation in [100] GaAs

We report experimental observations of the phonon focusing pattern in [100] GaAs using low temperature electron beam scanning for phonon generation. The typical dispersive effects for high-frequency phonons expected from the calculations by Tamura have clearly been observed using PbIn tunnel junctions for phonon detection. The quantitative comparison of our experimental results with the frequency dependent calculations by Tamura allowed to determine the dominant phonon frequencies contributing to the detector signal in our different experiments. Above the temperature of the -point the dominant phonon frequencies appear to be shifted considerably to lower values, which could be explained by a heating effect in the liquid-He layer adjacent to the tunnel junction detector. By comparing the observed magnitude of the detector signal with different theoretical treatments of the detector response, we have found satisfactory agreement for a model where the perturbation due to the high-frequency phonons is restricted to the base electrode of the detector reached first by the phonons following their passage through the crystal.     

Textural analysis of extruded materials with rhombohedral structure

A textural analysis of extruded rods of material with tetradymite (Bi₂Te₃) structure is conducted by constructing the distribution of the pole density of the (0001) and (1120) planes. The distribution of the poles of the planes is represented by a solid of revolution, and the pole density, which is a function of the angle () of the deviation of the normals to h_i from the extrusion axis, is determined by the diffraction method of specimen inclination using the diffracted ray intensity. It proves possible to identify textural components, and to determine how many there are and the degree of perfection of this method. A technique is worked out for the quantitative estimate of the average values of the components of the conductivity tensor in the grains, and the contribution of the texture to the macroscopic properties of the material is analyzed. To investigate the thin layers (for example, the layerwise distribution of texture in rods of rectangular cross section) we used the method of inverse pole diagrams, where the probability of coincidence of the h_i plane with the working surface of the specimen is analyzed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 33–39, December, 1989.     

Landau levels and electron radiation in planar channeling in monocrystals

The influence of a magnetic field on the motion and radiation of an electron is considered for planar channeling in a monocrystal. It is shown that discrete levels analogous to Landau levels appear in the super-barrier domain of transverse energies instead of a continuous spectrum. The spectral composition and intensity of anomalous and normal waves are computed. The possibilities are discussed of the observation of electron radiation with Landau levels.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 88–93, August, 1989.     

Martensitic transformations in Ti (Ni,Fe) alloys

In this work we used x-ray structural analysis to investigate the martensitic transformations (MTs)B2R andRB19 in Ti(Ni, Fe) alloys containing 1, 2.5, 4, 5 at. % Fe, and the effect of heat treatment on the MT temperatures and sequence. In the majority of cases, it was found that the MTB2R proceeds through a two-phase region (+R). Heat treatment leads to a narrowing of the temperature interval of the existence of the two-phase region, weakly affects the onset temperatures of the MTsB2R T_R andRB19 M_s, and sharply increases the temperature-of the end of the MT M_e. The existence of the two-phase region is related to the two MT channelsB2R andB2B19 initially intrinsic to the allovs of the given compositions.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 19–22, December, 1989.     

Magnetooptical effects in bismuth-containing ferrite-garnet films

We present results of magnetooptical investigations of bismuth-containing ferrite-garnet films with the easy axis of magnetization parallel to the specimen surface. Measurements were conducted for incident light with energies in the range 1.5–3.2 eV for transverse [equatorial Kerr effect (EKE)] and for longitudinal [meridional intensity effect (MIE)] magnetizations of thin-layer specimens. It is shown that the EKE differs from zero when the films are opaque, and it is established that the EKE peak in the region 2.8 eV increases with increasing bismuth concentration. For longitudinal magnetization, conditions for observing magnetooptical interference were realized. The experimental curves agree well with the theoretical ones.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 10–14, November, 1989.     

Investigation of the character of the exchange interaction in the system Hg1−xMnxSe

A new method is proposed for determining the magnetic characteristics (magnitude and sign of the exchange interaction energy and the average size of clusters of magnetic ions) of dilute solid solutions of semimagnetic semiconductors at low temperatures based on oscillation measurements. The method makes it possible to find the magnetic characteristics of the indicated systems at temperatures between the point of the transition into the spin glass state and the temperature corresponding to the characteristic binding energy of magnetic atoms in clusters, for which standard methods based on the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility are not effective. The method is used to study the character of the exchange interaction in the system of solid solutions Hg_1–xMn_xSe as a function of their composition as well as under conditions of hydrostatic compression. To this end the oscillations of the magnetoresistance (Shubnikov-de Haas (SH) effect) in single-crystalline samples of Hg_1–xMn_xSe in the region of compositions 0.001 x 0.23 in magnetic fields H up to 65 kOe at temperatures T = (0.4–20) K and pressures up to 16 kbar were studied.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 29–39, November, 1989.
