Account of Thermal Flow Through Metal-Semimetal BiSb Contact Boundary for Determination of EHF Detector Volt-Watt Sensitivity

Bismuth, antimony and its alloys are the typical representatives of a class of semimetals, which electric conductance is lower in 10²-10³ times, than of usual well conducting an electrical current metals. The alloys bismuth with antimony have semi-conductor properties in wide area of compositions at temperatures below 77 °K. The semimetals are rather perspective materials from the point of view of their probable application in various devices [1,2,3].In present time the semimetal alloys BiSb have wide application in thermoelectric generators and refrigerators. In work [3] the opportunity of use of semimetals BiSb with percentage content of Bi and Sb from 8 % up to 25 % was shown as high-sensitivity and of small inertion indicators of the mm range radiation where thermoelectric effect is used. The principle of action of such indicators is based on occurrence of temperature gradient in a semimetal crystal BiSb that has two contacts of the various area with flowing electrical current. Basic element of such device is the dot contact metal - semimetal. One of the main characteristics is volt-watt sensitivity of metal-semimetal BiSb contact which calculating is shown in present work.     

The absorptive pion-nucleus optical potential

We calculate s-wave and p-wave absorptive pion-nucleus optical potentials assuming that a pion is absorbed by a pair of nucleons. Employing a model which takes into account both a single nucleon absorption with nucleon-nucleon correlations and rescattering, we obtain simple analytic expressions for Im B₀ sid Im C₀ of the pion-nucleus optical potential. The off-shell effect on the s-wave pion absorption is examined and shown to be strongly modified by short range correlations. The result for the p-wave absorptive part Im C₀ clearly shows the importance of the tensor correlations. The enhanced nn emission after π^? absorption is shown to be related with a large p-wave πN scattering length a₃₃ via the tensor correlations.     

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.

Mechanism of detachment of particles from the surface of high-temperature superconducting targets absorbing laser pulses

A cluster mechanism is considered for the detachment of particles when the surface of a high-temperature superconducting target absorbs laser pulses. By proposing a fractal nature for the surface, one can model it as an assembly of a large number of nonlinear oscillators (clusters). Utilizing the method of sudden perturbations, a calculation was made of the probability of dissociation of these oscillators, i.e., of the detachment of clusters from the surface. The calculated probability decreases rapidly as the power density of the laser radiation is reduced to some limiting value. This is in agreement with experiments.

Mutual coupling of elements in finite microstrip antennas

The mutual coupling of the radiating elements in microstrip antennas is studied using a rigorous electrodynamic approach in which the field singularities at the radiator edges are taken into account with analytic accuracy. A spectral method is employed in combination with a method of semi-inversion by extraction of the Green-function singularity. The degree of interaction of the elements of microstrip structures at the fundamental and higher current harmonicsis determined, and the applicability of various approximations is assessed.Radio-Astronomy Institute, Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Deuterium NMR studies of inositol liquid crystals [1]

Deuterium NMR investigations are presented on members of two new mesogenic series derived from the naturally occurring stereoisomers myo- and scW/o-inositol. Tetraethers of these two series exhibit thermotropic columnar phases in which the columns are apparently formed by stacked hydrogen bonded dimers of these molecules which chemically are vicinal diols. Deuterium NMR measurements were performed on the tetraoctyl homologues 2e (a cis diol) and 3e (a trans diol) of these series. We have investigated mixtures of these diols with small amounts of benzene-d₆ as probe molecules as well as samples of the neat diol compounds deuteriated at their hydroxyl groups. The results obtained show that the mesophases of both compounds are uniaxial and align partially in a magnetic field upon slow cooling from their isotropic liquids. The alignment is with the director parallel to the field direction indicating that the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility of this mesophase is positive. The deuterium quadrupole splitting of the benzene-d₆ probe in both systems is temperature dependent and in the trans diol 3e it even changes sign. This is interpreted in terms of a model in which the benzene-d₆ probe equilibrates rapidly between two (or more) solvation sites with quadrupole splittings of opposite signs The deuterium spectra of the neat deuterium labelled cis diol 2e exhibit two different signals due to the two deuterons which are located at the axial and equatorial hydroxyl groups. This indicates that there is no fast intra- or intermolecular exchange of the hydroxyl hydrogens. The overall quadrupole splittings of the hydroxyl deuterons in this compound are highly reduced compared to their static values and this is interpreted in terms of motional modes involving both reorientation of the hydroxyl deuterons about their C-O axis and overall reorientation of the molecules (or pairs of molecules) around the columnar axes. The corresponding spectra of the neat deuteriated trans diol 3e exhibit a single spectrum indicating that both hydroxyl deuterons in this compound are equivalent, or very nearly so. Within the mesophase region the spectrum undergoes gradual changes due to the increase in the molecular mobility, but the overall motional narrowing is less than in the cis isomer 2e. Apparently due to stronger hydrogen bonding in the trans isomer 3e the precession of the hydroxyl groups is hindered and a fast molecular reorientation is only possible at high temperatures.
