Temperature dependence of the efficiency at which electrons are captured into axial channeling

A procedure for calculating the efficiency at which electrons are captured into axial channeling with a realistic axis potential is discussed. That region in the space of the electron's total transverse energy E and angular momentum L (integrals of motion) which corresponds to stable bound states of the electron with an atomic row is found. The temperature dependence of the capture coefficient is analyzed. As the crystal temperature is increased, the capture coefficient decreases, to a particularly noticeable extent for beams making a small angle with the crystallographic axis and for crystals having a high atomic number z.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 69–74, May, 1988.     

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.     

The meaning of the terms “phase” and “phase transition”

Various meanings of the terms phase and phase transition encountered in scientific literature are discussed. These terms supplement each other and cover only together all the macroscopic situations which are now denoted by this term.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 67–71, August, 1988.

On immersions ofn-dimensional Lobachevskií space in 2n-dimensional Euclidean space withn principal direction fields

In this article we prove that the principal direction fields are holonomic and use them to introduce curvilinear coordinates on an immersed region in terms of which the linear element of Lobachevskií space is written in the form where The fundamental system of equations is established for an immersion ofn-dimensional Lobachevskií space into 2n-dimensional Euclidean space withn principal direction fields for the functions _i and, and a way of constructing an arbitrary local analytic immersion is shown.Translated from Ukrainskií Geometricheskií Sbornik, No. 28, pp. 3–8, 1985.     

Determinants of Laplacians in real line bundles over hyperbolic manifolds connected with quantum geometry of membranes

The possibility is discussed of generalizing the Polyakov approach to strings on membranes and the connection of such a generalization with Thurston's classification of three-dimensional geometries. The important ingredients for computing a membrane path integral are the determinants of scalar Laplacians acting in real line bundles over three-dimensional closed manifolds. In the closed bosonic membrane case, such determinants are evaluated for a class of closed 3-manifolds of the H ³/ form with a discrete subgroup of isometries of the three-dimensional Lobachevsky space H ³ and they are expressed in terms of the Selberg zeta function. Some further possible implications of the results obtained are also discussed.

A certain periodic control problem for differential equations with impulses in the space of bounded numerical sequences

One considers the differential equation dx/dt=f(t, x) with the impulse action ¦_t=t_i=H_i(t_i,x) in the space of bounded numerical sequences, where f(t, x), H_i(t, x) are T-periodic, countable-dimensional vector-valued functions, is a positive parameter. One gives conditions for the existence of a control (₁,₂) such that the solution of the equation dx/dt=f(t, x)–₁ with impulse action x¦_t=t_i=H_i(t_i,x)–₂ assuming for t= the value x=x₀, be T-periodic.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 271–275, February, 1990.

Deformations of positive linear operators of type B

The concept of the deformation of positive linear operators of type B is introduced, in particular, that of a linear deformation of operators. These concepts are applied to the solving of operator equations of type B. One solves completely the problems of the determination of all positive linear operators of type B for which the covariance of the operators is 1) a polynomial of degrees 3; 2) any power function; 3) an exponential function. In addition, one finds; two families of positive linear operators of type B for which the covariance is a polynomial of degree four.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 7, pp. 888–900, July, 1990.
