Bound entangled states of four qubits in the tomographic-probability representation

We discuss the entanglement phenomenon on the example of the Smolin state of four qubits. This state is known as the bound entangled state and its spin tomogram is found in an explicit form. We apply the qubit-portrait method for investigating the violation of the Bell inequalities, since this approach provides another tool to prove the entanglement properties of the four-qubit state under consideration.     

On the theory of pulsed foil bolometers

We present simple formulas for estimating the temperatures attained during absorption of radiation in a foil. The method proposed for selecting materials for bolometers makes it possible to substantially improve the temporal resolution of the instrument.

Topochemistry regularities in evaluation technique of phosphate raw material reactivity

Experimental approaches for evaluation of reactivity of phosphate raw material and obtaining additional information on its phase composition were suggested in view of physicochemical patterns of the phosphate raw material decomposition in a weakly acidic environment.     

Synthesis and properties of porous silica obtained by the template method

Micromesoporous samples of SiO₂ were synthesized by the sol-gel method using tetraethoxysilane as a starting reagent and 1–5 wt % cetylpyridinium chloride as a template under the conditions of preadsorption of colloid silica by polyethyleneglycol macromolecules. The adsorption and texture of the samples were studied by the low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique. Preadsorption of silica sol was shown to affect the adsorption and capillary-condensation properties of silica. The surface area and the volume of mesopores increased at cetylpyridinium concentrations higher than 1 wt %. The micropore volume increased to a maximum. The capillary-condensation hysteresis loop of H4 type transformed into an H3 loop according to the IUPAC classification.
