Waveguide propagation of intense electromagnetic radiation in slightly inhomogeneous nonlinear media

The propagation of self-localizing beams of electromagnetic waves in the form of nonlinear waveguides in a slightly inhomogeneous medium is studied analytically and numerically. The trajectories of the axial ray are studied as a function of its direction and the field strength at the initial point on the basis of a nonlinear scalar Helmholtz equation. Analytic expressions are derived. The longitudinal refractive index, the field intensity, and the waveguide radius are plotted as functions of the instantaneous position of the point on the axial ray. Deep penetration of the beam into the opaque region and the position of the screening surface are studied as functions of the parameters of the beam and the medium. A steady-state 3D problem is analyzed for a power-law nonlinearity with an arbitrary power. A 2D problem is analyzed for the case of a ponderomotive nonlinearity with saturation.

Investigation of the mechanism of fragment coordination of aromatic molecules with transition metals by photoelectron spectroscopy-tricarbonyliron complexes

Conclusions The changes in the chemical shifts of organic molecules during complex formation are well known in organometallic chemistry [24]. Thus, coordinated dienes lose the olefinic characteristics; they are not hydrogenated, do not enter into the Diels-Alder reaction, and react with electrophilic reagents. At the present time the search for a link between the structure of organometallic complexes in terms of rigorous quantum-chemical calculations is beginning. The construction of experimentally substantiated models which make it possible to explain qualitatively the marked changes in the characteristics of organic compounds in the presence of the atoms of transition metals is therefore essential for a deeper understanding of the orbital mechanisms lying at the basis of catalysis.The PE spectra were measured on an ÉS 3201 electron spectrometer with an inlet system heated to 200°C. The resolution, determined from the width of the²P_3/2Xe band at the half-height, amounted to 40 meV. Compounds (II) and (III) were obtained by the previously described methods [25, 26], and the analytically pure substances were used for the investigation.Scientific-Research Institute of Physics, A.

Polar bonds in π-complexes. Preparation and crystal structures of cyclopentadienylcarbonyl iron(II) and ruthenium(II) benzoates andp-fluorobenzoates

Complexes of Fe(II) and Ru(II) of the general formula Cp(OC)₂MOC(O)C₆H₄X-p, where M=Fe, X=H, F (1, 2) or M=Ru, X=H, F (3, 4) have been prepared by reactingp-XC₆H₄COOAg with [CpFe(CO)₂]₂ or CpRu(CO)₂I. The crystal structures of complexes1–3 have been determined using X-ray diffraction. Compounds1 and3 are isomorphous. The COO group in1–3 is coordinated as a monodentate ligand. As the latter and the CO ligands are electronically non-equivalent, the coordination of the Cp ligand to the metal is slightly asymmetric.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
