Effect of the concentration of Pt(IV) and Pd(II) chloro complexes on the proportions of their ion-exchanged and coordinatively bound species on the γ-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> surface

The interaction of platinum(IV) and palladium(II) chloro complexes with the γ-Al₂O₃ surface in a wide range of surface metal concentrations is reported. Varying the concentration of the adsorbed metal complex on the alumina surface causes changes both in the proportions of weakly and strongly bound desorbable platinum species and in the proportions of desorbable (ion-exchanged) and nondesorbable (coordinatively bound) complexes. The adsorbed palladium complexes are more uniform in chemical composition and binding strength and consist largely of desorbable species removable from the surface by competitive sorption of anions. The absolute amount of coordinatively bound platinum and palladium species increases as the total metal content of the sample is raised to 1.0% and remains almost invariable at higher metal contents.     

Double centralizing theorem for wreath products of the alternating group

The double centralizing theorem between the action of the symmetric group S_n and the action of the general linear group on the tensor space T_n(W) was obtained by Schur. Here we obtain a double centralizing theorem when S_n is replaced by the wreath product of a finite group G and the alternating group A_n.     

Approximation of a function of two variables by a product of functions of one variable on a given domain

We are concerned with the problem of uniform approximation of a continuous function of two variables by a product of continuous functions of one variable on some domain D. This problem have been examined so far only on a rectangular domain D = U × V, where U and V are compact sets. An algorithm to give a solution of this problem in the discrete case is available. We put forward an algorithm which in certain cases allows one to construct an approximate solution of the problem on a given domain (not necessarily rectangular). This approximate solution is built in the form of interpolating natural splines, which in turn are constructed by means of discrete approximation. Depending on the degree of the splines, the problem can be solved in classes of functions with appropriate degree of smoothness.

Deformation autowaves in nitrogen-doped γ-Fe single crystals

Experimental data on the evolution of macrodeformation fields of single-crystal samples of austenitic chromium-nickel steel with a superequilibrium nitrogen content under tension are analyzed on the basis of a model of autowave plastic flow. The conditions for the appearance and observation of different types of autowave deformation structures are established; such structures include a solitary front, a traveling autowave, and a stationary dissipative structure and are determined by the crystal-geometry of deformation and by the nitrogen concentration in the material. It is shown that a one-to-one correspondence exists between the type of deformation autowave and the stage of the plastic flow curve of the material. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 69, 56–62 (October 1999)     

Orientational dependence of shape memory effects and superelasticity in CoNiGa,NiMnGa, CoNiAl,FeNiCoTi, and TiNi single crystals

The dependence of deforming stresses, shape memory effect (SME), and superelasticity (SE) on the orientation of the single crystal axis, test temperature, and disperse particle size is examined for CoNiGa, NiMnGa, CoNiAl, FeNiCoTi, and TiNi single crystals. The orientational dependence of SME, SE, and temperature interval of the development of martensitic transformations (MT) under loading and SE is established. The influence of disperse particles on magnitudes of SME, SE, and mechanical hysteresis is discussed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 4–20, September, 2004.
