Investigation of multicomponent fluoride optical materials in the UV spectral region: I. Single crystals of Ca1−x R xF2+x (R = Sc, Y, La, Yb, Lu) solid solutions

Crystalline materials that are transparent in the vacuum UV spectral region and currently used have been reviewed. Transmission of crystals of solid solutions with the fluorite structure Ca_1?x R _xF_2+x (R = Sc, Y, La, Yb, Lu) in the UV and vacuum UV spectral regions has been investigated. It is shown that application of different methods of purification of fluorides from some impurities can significantly improve the optical quality of fluoride multicomponent crystals in the short-wavelength spectral region.     

Berberis alkaloids. XXI. Intebrine — A new N-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid from Berberis integerrima

A new N-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid — intebrine, with the composition C₂₀H₁₉NO₇ — has been isolated fromBerberis integerrima Bunge. The spatial structure of intebrine has been reliably determined by the x-ray structural method (diffractometer, CuK radiation, 972 reflections, direct method, R=0.048). Its chemical behavior, spectral characteristics, and mass-spectrometric fragmentation under electrom impact have been studied.Andizhan State Medical Institute.

A five-coordinate complex of copper chloride with 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

A complex of Cu(II) chloride with 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AET) was prepared, and its structure was studied by IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex has the composition CuCl₂(AET)₄. The coordination sphere of the copper atom includes four molecules of the heterocyclic ligand coordinated via N atoms of thiadiazole rings and one of Cl^? anions; the second Cl^? anion is in the outer sphere.

Direct current and impedance spectroscopic studies on MoO3 modified ZnPc/ITO Schottky diodes

We use experimental results of direct current and low signal impedance spectroscopy to investigate the conduction mechanism in organic semiconductor ZnPc. The experimental results demonstrate an increase in current and holes mobility by the introduction of a thin MoO₃ film at the ITO/ZnPc interface. This significantly improves the device performance. The improvement is explained in terms of the reduction in the effective barrier for charge transfer from ZnPc to ITO.

Tool measurements of thunderstorms in Yakutia in 2003–2006

We propose a technique for tool measurement of the lightning-discharge density in Yakutia in 2003–2006 by the radiophysical method using one- and two-point lightning detectors. The observed features of the spatio-temporal distribution and the parameters of thunderstorm cores are discussed.

Effect of γ radiation on the long-term strength of polyethylene terephthalate

By analyzing the results of a study of the long-term strength and isometric heating diagrams of polyethylene terephthalate exposed to radiation it has been established that irradiation leads to a decrease in the short-time and long-term strength of the polymer and to the misorientation of its structural elements. The coefficient in the long-term strength equation increases with the radiation dose, while U₀ varies along a curve with a maximum at small doses.Lenin Tadzhik State University.
