Optical properties of CdF<Subscript>2</Subscript> in a wide energy range

For either of the two reflection spectra of cadmium difluoride that are known from experiments, a complete set of the fundamental optical functions is calculated in the energy range 4–45 eV with the Kramers-Kronig relationships. The basic features of the optical spectra are established, and a hypothesis for their origin is suggested based on the known theoretical results for the band structure.     

Magnetization vector field in a uniaxial ferromagnetic film

Technical Physics - Analytical models for the magnetization vector field B m in a uniaxial ferromagnetic film are studied. Some of them are found to closely approximate B m even if the quality...     

Diffusion of a low-soluble impurity in a solid matrix

An analytical expression for the concentration profile of a low-soluble diffusant in a sample is derived for a high-capacity diffusion source. The model is checked by determining the diffusion coefficient of yttrium in beryllium.     

Influence of the skin effect on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a fine metal particle

The cross section of absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a fine spherical metal particle is calculated. The influence of the skin effect on the absorption cross-section is estimated for an arbitrary ratio between the free path and size of the particle. The results of this work are compared with those obtained earlier in the framework of classical electrodynamics. It is shown that taking into account the kinetic effects modifies essentially the known data for the skin effect in a spherical particle.     

Low-power RF plasma sources for technological applications: II. plasma sources under anomalous skin effect conditions

A theory of a planar disk-shaped RF plasma source under anomalous skin effect conditions is developed. In the absence of an external magnetic field, such conditions are satisfied for transverse electromagnetic waves with phase velocities below the electron thermal velocity, and, in the presence of this field, they are satisfied for electron cyclotron waves with frequencies corresponding to the resonant absorption line. For each of these cases, the RF field power deposited in a plasma with given parameters is determined and the equivalent plasma resistance is calculated.     

Determination of the glueball mass spectrum with allowance for spin-orbital interactions

The mass spectrum of a coupled state is analytically determined. The mechanism of production of a constituent mass of particles forming a coupled state is explained. The change of the coupled state and constituent particle component masses attendant to changes of the coupling constant is analyzed. The mass spectrum of a two-gluon glueball is determined with allowance for spin-orbital and spin-spin interactions.__________Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 33–41, December, 2004.

Electrophysical and Thermal Parameters of Thermal Plasma in a High-Frequency Induction Discharge

A semiempirical model is proposed for the calculation of electrical, magnetic and thermal parameters of the plasma of a high-frequency induction discharge. The model is based on solving a system of two-dimensional Maxwell equations written for a cylindrical coordinate system.     

A Semiconductor Laser of the Visible Range as an Exciting Source of Raman Scattering

A possibility of application of semiconductor lasers of the visible range as exciting sources for Raman spectroscopy is studied. An experimental set-up for measuring Raman spectra of polycrystalline dielectrics and broad-gap semiconductors excited by a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 640 nm was created. The conditions under which the spectral width of the lasing line of a semiconductor laser was within 10^-3 cm^-1 in the continuous mode with a power of 10 mW are realized. The characteristics of various types of exciting sources used in Raman spectroscopy are compared. The results of studies of the characteristic Raman spectra excited with a semiconductor laser in polycrystalline sulfur are presented.     

Physical Interpretation of the Motion of a Laser Pulse within the Framework of the Four-Oscillator Model

A physical multidimensional local model of the propagation process of a laser pulse in air having no analogy to famous models in laser physics is constructed. It is based on the representations of classical wave mechanics characteristic of the theory of scalar wave fields.
