Mössbauer spectroscopy of creep-annealed soft magnetic amorphous alloys

To produce magnetic anisotropy in amorphous alloys, stress-annealing above the Curie temperature was substituted for the common thermomagnetic treatment. A tilting three-angle Mössbauer method was applied to see the changes of the⁵⁷Fe hyperfine field directions and intensities due to this procedure. The resulting pictures of the domain orientations distribution in the Fe₈₀Cr₂B₁₄Si₄ and Fe₄₀Ni₄₀B₂₀ amorphous alloys are compared with the measured magnetic anisotropies and domain structures.     

Modeling the Behavior of Heat-Shrinkable Thin Films

We describe an asymptotic model for the behavior of PET-like heat-shrinkable thin films that includes both membrane and bending energies when the thickness of the film is positive. We compare the model to Koiter’s shell model and to models in which a membrane energy or a bending energy are obtained by Γ-convergence techniques. We also provide computational results for various temperature distributions applied to the films.     

Effect of Two Different UVA Doses on the Rabbit Cornea and Lens

The aim of the present paper was to examine the irradiation effect of two doses of UVA rays (365 nm) on the rabbit cornea and lens. Corneas of anesthetized adult albino rabbits were irradiated with UVA rays for 5 days (daily dose 1.01 J cm⁻² in one group of rabbits and daily dose 2.02 J cm⁻² in the second group of animals). The third day after the last irradiation, the rabbits were killed, and their eyes were employed for spectrophotometrical, biochemical and immunohistochemical investigations. Normal eyes served as controls. Absorption spectra of the whole corneal centers were recorded over the UV–VIS (visible) spectral range. Levels of antioxidant and prooxidant enzymes, nitric oxide synthases and nitric oxide (indirectly measured as nitrate concentration) were investigated in the cornea. Malondialdehyde, a byproduct of lipid peroxidation, was examined in the cornea and lens. The results show that the staining for endothelial nitric oxide synthase was more pronounced in corneas irradiated with the higher UVA dose. Otherwise, UVA rays at either dose did not significantly change corneal light absorption properties and did not cause statistically significant metabolic changes in the cornea or lens. In conclusion, UVA rays at the employed doses did not evoke harmful effects in the cornea or lens.     

Magneto-optical polar Kerr effect in a film-substrate system

The problem of electromagnetic reflection at an arbitrary angle of incidence in a system consisting of an isotropic ambient, a magnetic film and a thick magnetic substrate is studied. The magnetizations in both the film and substrate are assumed normal to the planar interfaces. The results are expressed in terms of the reflection matrix which is directly connected to the experimentally observed quantities: ellipsometric ratio and magneto-optical rotation and ellipticity. The general condition for guided wave propagation in the system is obtained. The theory is applied to the special cases of (a) normal incidence, (b) oblique incidence on a uniaxial film on a uniaxial substrate, both optical axes being normal to the interfaces, and (c) oblique incidence on a system consisting of an isotropic ambient, a magnetic film and a thick magnetic substrate assuming the diagonal elements of the permittivity tensor in a particular magnetic medium (film or substrate) equal to each other and the corresponding off-diagonal elements much smaller with respect to them. The possible practical applications of the present analysis are in the optimum design of film-substrate structures in magneto-optic devices and in the optical studies of the surface effects in magnetic materials.     

On Lipschitz and D.C. surfaces of finite codimension in a Banach space

Properties of Lipschitz and d.c. surfaces of finite codimension in a Banach space and properties of generated σ-ideals are studied. These σ-ideals naturally appear in the differentiation theory and in the abstract approximation theory. Using these properties, we improve an unpublished result of M. Heisler which gives an alternative proof of a result of D. Preiss on singular points of convex functions.
