The measurement of subcritical electroconvection

Under idealized conditions, electroconvection in a nematic liquid crystal sets in at a well-defined threshold of the driving ac voltage. Fluctuating convection rolls of a small amplitude below that threshold have been observed recently. The measurement of the amplitude of these fluctuations is described in detail in this paper. It is based on averaging the light intensity signals using the structure function and a quantitative analysis of the light deflection.     

Electron traps and positive DLTS signals in VPE GaAs MESFETs

Capacitance DLTS measurements have been performed in VPE GaAs MESFETs prepared on Bridgman Cr-doped and LEC undoped semi-insulating substrates. A band of electron traps not intrinsically related to the VPE growth process and accumulating near the metal (gate) — semiconductor interface was detected in all the samples. Deeper regions into the channel were free from any detectable trap. Near pinch-off conditions, a positive capacitance signal was found to dominate the DLTS spectra only in the case of samples prepared on Cr-doped substrates. The hypothesis of this positive transient being related to changes in the occupation of surface states in the ungated surface access regions has been checked by comparing experimental and calculated dependencies of the signal amplitude on reverse gate voltage. Unexplained discrepancies, together with the absence of positive signal in MESFETs prepared on LEC undoped substrates, suggest the possibility of hole emission from hole traps within the bulk of the device.     

Exact soliton solutions of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

We study matter-wave solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold gaseous atoms with spin degrees of freedom and present a class of exact solutions based on the inverse scattering method. The one-soliton solutions are classified with respect to the spin states. We analyze collisional effects between solitons in the same or different spin state(s), which reveals a very interesting possibility: we can manipulate the spin dynamics by controlling the parameters of colliding solitons.     

Acoustic field in a closed layered shell with resonant systems

The acoustic field inside a shell excited by a spatially inhomogeneous harmonic pressure field is studied. The shell is assumed to have a finite length, a set of orthogonal stiffening ribs, two ends bounding the acoustic volume, and a sound-insulating structure, which includes layers of sound-insulating material, resonant elements, and an interior panel. The shell is considered to be orthotropic with boundary conditions corresponding to a free support. For the acoustic field in the closed volume, analytical expressions are derived with allowance for the elastoacoustic interaction of the shell with the sound-insulating layers and with the medium both inside the shell (with arbitrary impedance values at the ends) and outside it. These expressions are used to investigate the effect of different types of resonant systems on the sound field inside the shell.
