Increase in the magnetostrictive susceptibility of Tb0.3Dy0.67Ho0.03Fe2−x Co x alloys upon substitution of cobalt for iron

This paper reports on the results of investigations into the concentration dependences of the magnetostrictive susceptibility, the magnetostriction, the magnetization, and the Curie temperature for Tb_0.3Dy_0.67Ho_0.03Fe_2?x Co _x alloys upon substitution of cobalt for iron. It is revealed that the temperature of the spin-reorientation transition shifts toward room temperature with an increase in the cobalt content in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.3. Substitution of cobalt for iron in the alloys leads to a decrease in the contribution of the 3d transition metal sublattice to the magnetic anisotropy owing to the opposite signs of the single-ion anisotropy constants for iron and cobalt. The decrease observed in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy compensated in both rare-earth and 3d transition metal sublattices is responsible for the high magnetostrictive susceptibility of the studied compounds at a high cobalt content (x = 1.3) in the room-temperature range.     

Baryon and electric charge fluctuations at crossover

We discuss the higher order cumulants of net-baryon and electric charge fluctuations as a probe of the QCD crossover. The sensitivity of the higher order cumulants in the hadron resonance gas model to an inclusion of repulsive interactions is also considered.     

Transient behavior of superheated water jets boiling

Superheated water flowing out from high-pressure chamber through short cylindrical and slot channel has been studied experimentally. Relation of vaporization mechanisms in superheated liquid (boiling in single, not interacting centers, intense heterogeneous vaporization, and homogeneous fluctuating nucleation) and respective forms of superheated water jets has been determined. Temperature intervals with transient behavior of boiling have been determined. It is shown that at transient behavior of boiling the amplitude of pulsations of jet parameters increases, and in the spectra of pulsation power, the low-frequency component 1/f appears.
