Application of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry for the determination of some inorganic pollutants in gravitation dust sediments

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry with radionuclide excitation has been applied to determine As, Cu, Fe, Pb, Rb, Sr, Ti, Zn and Zr in inorganic pollutants of gravitation dust sediments. Application of this technique required a complete optimization including sampling and their preparation for analysis and evaluation. This method has been finally used to analyze series of samples of dust sediments.     

Infrared reflection spectra in contactless nondestructive measurements of the electron density and mobility in indium phosphide

On the basis of numerical calculations and experimental studies we analyze the possibilities of measuring the electrophysical parameters of indium phosphide by means of infrared reflection spectra at wavelengths ranging from 5 to 200 m. We demonstrate that contactless nondestructive measurements of the electron density in the range 10¹⁶–10²⁰ cm^–3 can be made with a relative error not exceeding 15%, and of mobility with a relative error not exceeding 25%. A nomogram method is presented for rapid conversion of data from infrared reflection spectra into the parameters being measured.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 22–27, January, 1988.     

Calculation of microdosimetric characteristics in electron and gamma-ray irradiated water

The results of a calculation of the characteristics of fluctuations in the absorption of energy of electrons and gamma rays in small sensitive volumes of a material in electronic equilibrium are presented. The calculations were performed by the method developed in [1]. The efficiency and accuracy of the method are demonstrated by comparisons with the experimental results and direct numerical simulation. The experience gained in using the method is analyzed. The main numerical result of this work is a table of coefficients enabling the calculation of the probability of the absorption of energy and the first two moments of the energy absorbed in spherical regions with radii of 1, 2, 4, and 8 m, starting only from the electronic spectrum in these regions, for water absorbers with arbitrary shape and arbitrary electronic or photonic sources with energies up to 1 MeV.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 77–82, February, 1988.     

Group-theoretic description of external gauge fields

For an arbitrary external gauge field we construct an infinite group which contains all the information about the given field and describes some of its properties. We construct a field representation of the group . We show that covariant derivatives become translation generators in such a representation of the group . This allows us to interpret transformations from the group as motions in an external gauge field.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 31–35, December, 1988.     

Experimental study of regions of reversed magnetization in an amorphous layer of Co70Fe5Si10B15

The characteristics of the distribution of magnetization and remagnetization of microsections of the surface in the amorphous alloy Co₇₀Fe₅Si₁₀B₁₅, prepared in the form of thin ribbons, were studied by the magnetooptical method. It was found that the magnetization I on the surface of the amorphous ribbon studied was strongly nonuniform. It was established that heat treatment (HT) of the sample leads to the appearance of regions of reversed magnetization in the surface layer of the ribbon, while thermomagnetic annealing reduces the nonuniformity of I. The conservation of the transverse component in the HT sample in fields where the magnitude of the component of magnetization parallel to the length of the ribbon remains virtually unchanged suggested that a domain structure of the magnetization ripple type, owing to the strong microdispersion of the magnetic anisotropy, is realized in this sample.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 89–94, March, 1988.     

Coherence of synchrotron radiation

Gal'tsov et al. [Vestn. Mosk. Gos. Univ., Fiz., Astron.,14, No. 5, 614 (1973)] studied the radiation spectrum of N equally spaced charges moving along a circle. In particular, it was shown that as N the intensity of the radiation from the system of charges vanishes. The present study will consider the radiation spectrum of N charges moving along an arbitrary closed curve, randomly distributed in the vicinity of equally spaced points. The coherency factor will be found for the assumption that: a) the distributions of individual charges are not intercorrelated; b) the charge distribution is such that in the vicinity of a given point only one charge is found. It will be shown that as N the radiation intensity tends to a finite limit.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 8–11, March, 1988.     

Chlorokomplexe von Cu2+ und Ni2+ in Dimethylformamid

Zusammenfassung Durch spektrophotometrische Messungen in Dimethylformamid (DMF) werden die Koordinationsformen [CuCl]⁺ und [CuCl₃]^– sowie [NiCl]⁺, [NiCl₃]^– und [NiCl₄]^2– nachgewiesen. Bei Nickel(II)-chlorid und Kupfer(II)-chlorid wird Autokomplexbildung diskutiert. Die Solvate [Cu(DMF)₄] (ClO₄)₂ und [Ni(DMF)₆] (ClO₄)₂ werden isoliert.Im Zuge der Untersuchungen über Chlorokomplexe von Ionen der Übergangsmetalle^{1, 2} in nichtwäßrigen Lösungsmitteln wurden die Spektren der Lösungen von Kupfer(II)- und Nikkel(II)-perchlorat inDMF in Gegenwart verschiedener Mengen Tetraäthylammoniumchlorid aufgenommen.Mit 5 Abbildungen     

Untersuchung von Einzelblasen an ölbeschichteten Oberflächen mit künstlichen Keimstellen

Zusammenfassung An feinpolierten, ölbeschichteten V2A-Oberflächen mit jeweils einer gebohrten (d=140 µm) und einer geätzten (d=47 µm) Vertiefung als Keimstelle wurde für Wasserblasen das Wachstum, der Abreißdurchmesser und die Abreißfrequenz gemessen. Für die wärmetransportgesteuerte Blasenbildung liefert der Vergleich mit Beziehungen, die für reine Metallflächen gewonnen wurden, gute Übereinstimmung, so daß keine Einfluß der Ölschicht erkennbar wurde.

Investigation of single vapor bubbles on surfaces covered with a thin oil film with artificial nuclei

For single vapor bubbles, the growth rates, the detachment diameter, and the frequency were measured on single artificial nuclei, either drilled (d=140 µm) or etched (d=47 µm) into a highly polished stainless steel plate which was covered with a thin oil film. For evaporation controlled by heat transport, good agreement was observed with relations from literature which were obtained for clean surfaces; thus, an effect of the oil film could not be discovered.
