The role of the spontaneous electrooptical effect in the formation of electroholographic properties of strontium barium niobate crystals

The possibility of usage of the spontaneous electrooptical (EO) effect in strontium barium niobate (SBN) crystals for the creation of controlled electroholographic elements is studied. It is found that unipolar EO properties of these crystals with respect to switching their spontaneous polarization make it possible to devise field-controlled holographic elements with reversible energy-independent memory for spatial position of an optical beam.

Symmetric normal wave spectrum in an orthotropic layer

A solution is constructed for an orthotropic layer with free plane faces, that corresponds to the plane elastic waves symmetric over the thickness. The dynamical reconstruction of the normal wave spectrum during rotation of the wave vector from one to another elastically equivalent direction is investigated on the basis of a numerical analysis of the dispersion equation.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 19, pp. 116–121, 1988.     

Simulation of the thermal fragmentation of fullerene C60

Defect formation and annealing processes in fullerene C₆₀ at T = (4000–6000) K are studied using molecular dynamics with a tight-binding potential. The cluster lifetime until fragmentation, which proceeds, as a rule, through the loss of a C₂ dimer, has been found as a function of temperature. The activation energy and the frequency factor in the Arrhenius equation for the fragmentation rate have been found to be E _a = (9.2 ± 0.4) eV and A = (8 ± 1) × 10¹⁹s^?1. It is shown that fragmentation can occur already after the C₆₀ cluster loses its spherical shape. This fact must be taken into account in theoretical calculations of E _a.

Nonlinear magneto-optical diffraction by two-dimensional magnetic superstructures

Nonlinear (at the second-harmonic frequency of the incident light) optical reflection by two-dimensional magnetic superstructures is theoretically studied. A square lattice of magnetic dots and a hexagonal lattice of magnetic bubbles (cylindrical magnetic domains) are considered. Because the periods of these structures are comparable with the wavelengths of the fundamental and the second-harmonic radiation, it would be possible to observe diffraction at the second-harmonic frequency. A polarization analysis of nonlinearly diffracted radiation is performed and the numbers of observable diffraction orders for the above structures are estimated.

Exchange model of displacement in porous media

A displacement model constructed on the assumption of the exchange of components between the volumes of the pore space moving and not moving in the direction of displacement is considered. The theoretical solution is shown to be in good agreement with the actual results of the displacement of oil by water. Criterial equations for predicting the interphase exchange coefficient and the relation between the nonmoving and moving volumes of the pore space are constructed on the basis of a series of experiments in uncemented porous media.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 91–97.
