Magnetic and structural transitions in La1−x Sr x MnO3: T-x phase diagram

The electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and submillimeter (v=5∓20 cm⁻¹) permittivity and dynamic conductivity of La_1−x Sr _x MnO₃ (0≤x≤ 0.45) single crystals are investigated. The anomalies in the temperature dependences of these quantities are identified with diverse magnetic and structural phase transformations, including antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic ordering, structural transitions between strongly distorted (Jahn-Teller) and weakly distorted (pseudocubic) orthorhombic phases, structural transitions to a rhombohedral phase and unusual transitions to a polaron-ordering state. As a result, the complete T-x phase diagram of the system La_1−2x Sr _x MnO₃ is constructed in a wide interval of temperatures T=4.2∓1050 K and concentrations x=0−0.45. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Adsorption of Hydrocarbon Vapors on Activated Carbons Obtained from Vegetable Raw Materials

The equilibrium adsorption of vapors of benzene, toluene, o-xylene, and gasoline in the temperature range 25-100°C and adsorbate content of 0.01-1.80 vol % on activated carbons obtained from plum stones and shells of peanut, walnut, and coconut was studied. The effect of temperature on the adsorption properties of the absorbents were analyzed. The isosteric heats of adsorption were calculated.     

Study of coherent diffractive production reactions ofp+C→[Y 0 K +]+C type and observation of narrow structures in ∑ (1385)0 K + and ∑0 K + effective mass spectra

In the experiments at the SPHINX facility in 70 GeV proton beam of the IHEP accelerator the coherent diffractive production reactions on carbon nucleip+C [(1385)⁰ K ⁺+C andp+C[⁰ K ⁺]+C were investigated. The evidences for new baryon states were obtained in the study of hyperon-kaon effective mass spectra in these two reactions:X (2050) with massM=(2052±6) MeV and width =(35 _–35 ⁺²² ) MeV inM[(1385)⁰ K ⁺] andX(2000) withM=1999±6 MeV and =91±17 MeV inM[⁰ K ⁺]. The unusual features of these massive states (small enough decay widths, anomalously large branching ratios for decays with strange particles emission) make them very serious candidates for cryptoexotic pentaquark baryons with hidden strangeness.
