Galvanomagnetic and Thermomagnetic Properties of a Nonideal Xenon Plasma at Megabar Pressures in Megagauss Magnetic Fields

A method has been developed for the calculation of tensors of the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity of a nonideal plasma in a magnetic field within a unified approach where the kinetic coefficients are calculated together with the equation of state of the nonideal plasma within a quasichemical model. The calculations have shown that the Seebeck coefficient in xenon reaches 3 mV/K, which is slightly smaller than that in hydrogen or deuterium, and the figure of merit appears to be insignificantly higher in xenon. Consequently, the transition from hydrogen (deuterium) to xenon does not result in the expected noticeable improvement of thermoelectric properties. This is due to lower values of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity, as well as to a fast increase in the thermal conductivity of neutral xenon with an increase in its density. It has been shown for the first time that there is a density range where all components of the Seebeck tensor in xenon change their sign because of the Ramsauer minimum in the cross section for scattering of electrons on neutral atoms in the region of comparable values of cyclotron and transport frequencies of electrons.     

Spin polarized current controlled dynamics of domain walls in magnetic films with in-plane anisotropy

We study the dynamic properties of asymmetric vortex Bloch walls and classical 1D Néel walls controlled by a spin-polarized current in magnetic films with in-plane anisotropy. It is shown that fairly high velocities of domain walls (up to 100 m/s) can be obtained for the current density in the range j = 10⁶–10⁸ A/cm². The nonlinear dependence of the wall velocity on the film thickness and the linear dependence of the velocity on the current density and inverse damping parameter are found.     

Cell model of biporous medium (membrane)

The hydrodynamic permeability of biporous medium (membrane) modeled by the set of porous particles located in the porous medium with other rheological properties is calculated using the cell method. All known boundary conditions on the cell surface, i.e., the Happel, Kuwabara, Kvashnin, and Cunningham boundary conditions, are considered. Significant limiting cases that lead to new or already known results are studied.     

Effect of strong magnetic fields on gas adsorption

The effect of strong pulsed magnetic fields on gas adsorption at dielectric surfaces is demonstrated. We describe the experimental technique and the results indicating a considerable increase in the surface concentration of the adsorbed substance under the action of pulsed magnetic fields with an induction amplitude up to 50 T. The increase in the lifetime and stability of the adsorbed layer is observed. It is shown that the effect of magnetically induced sorption is also manifested in the interaction of iodine vapor with the surface of dielectrics.     

Acid-base properties of the active sites of the surface of a skeletal nickel and promoted skeletal nickel catalyst

The acid-base and adsorption properties of the active sites of the surface of a skeletal nickel and promoted nickel catalyst in aqueous solutions were studied by the potentiometric and pKspectroscopy methods. Titanium added as a promoter resulted in an increased number of lines in the pK spectra, which may attest to higher chemical activity of the promoted catalyst. An increase in the pH value of the media was shown to cause a shift in the process equilibria toward the formation of atomic strongly-bound forms of adsorbed hydrogen.     

Analysis of the temperature field of cylindrical flow based on an on-the-average exact solution

The temperature field in a well is constructed on the basis of an on-the-average exact solution, which allows investigation of problems of subterranean thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer. The problem is represented in the form of a sequence of problems of a mixed type, whose solutions give corresponding asymptotic-expansion coefficients and the form of the remainder term and the functions taking into account the presence of the boundary layer, for which analytical solutions are also found. It is shown that the proposed modified asymptotic method provides vanishing of the solution of the averaged problem for the remainder term.     

Viscosity of Polymer–Bitumen Binders

Polymer–bitumen binders for the highway engineering were obtained by the addition of a ternary ethylene–propylene rubber to a bitumen. The addition of a vulcanizing agent to a polymer–bitumen composition caused the structuring of the system through cross-linking of rubber molecules in the bitumen matrix that was confirmed by the study of structural viscosity of the polymer–bitumen compositions, as well as molecular mobility by the methods of NMR-relaxation and pulsed field gradient NMR-relaxation (self-diffusion).
