Temperature Dependence of the Magnetic Properties of Amorphous Fe-Me-Si-B Alloys

Alloying of amorphous Fe-Me-Si-B metallic compositions with nickel and molybdenum results in a decrease in the values of saturation magnetization in fields with a magnetic intensity of 0.72 MA/m. The same alloying additions decrease the temperature of formation of new magnetic Fe₃B-type phases, which are stable up to 873 ± 5 K.     

On the possibility of determining internal wave characteristics from the ray arrival time distribution in an underwater sound channel under conditions of Ray Chaos

We describe the simplest mechanism of cluster structure formation in the timefront of an acoustic signal propagating in a submerged channel under ray chaos conditions. It is shown that this cluster structure is related to the phase space structure. This relation allows, in principle, the characteristics of an inhomogeneous medium to be determined from the timefront shape parameters. As an example, the period of inhomogeneity is calculated for a periodic perturbation in the sound velocity caused by an internal wave propagation.     

Memory of Distributed Computer Systems: Distinctive Features of Their Architectural-Structural Organization and Use

Distinctive features of architectural-structural organization and use of memory networks are considered with the aim of choosing an optimal configuration in designing distributed computer systems.     

Dissolution of U,Np, Pu,and Am Oxides and Their Mixtures in Tributyl Phosphate Saturated with HNO3

It was shown for the first time that weighable amounts of uranium dioxide and its mixtures with Np, Pu, and Am in the form of solid solutions can be efficiently and quantitatively dissolved in the presence of tributyl phosphate saturated with HNO₃. Individual PuO₂ and NpO₂ are not dissolved under these conditions. In treatment of a mechanical mixture of UO₂ with PuO₂ or NpO₂, uranium is completely dissolved, while plutonium and neptunium remain in the precipitate.     

Effect of spontaneous polarization on the energy levels in quantum wells formed at the contact between cubic and noncubic silicon carbide polytypes

We have studied the effect of spontaneous polarization, which is inherent in noncubic silicon carbide (SiC) polytypes, on the characteristics of quantum wells (QWs) formed in the cubic region at the heterojunction. The analysis is performed for various QW models, including triangular, parabolic, and exponential. Conditions for the appearance of a two-dimensional electron gas at the interface are briefly discussed.     

The fractal structure of a carbon deposit formed during graphite spraying in an electric arc

Experimental data obtained by atomic force microscopy showing that a carbon deposit formed during graphite spraying in an electric arc possesses a fractal structure. The deposit is composed of clusters with dimensions on the order of 1–5 nm. The surface and profile of the deposit exhibit a self-affine fractal structure. The fractal dimensions of the deposit surface and profile, as well as the Hurst index characterizing the self-affine fractal, are determined.     

Thermodesorption of samarium from oxidized tungsten surface

Thermodesorption of samarium (Sm) atoms and samarium oxide (SmO) molecules from samarium films deposited in vacuum onto tungsten substrates covered with thin (<1 nm thick) layers of tungsten oxides has been studied. It is established that samarium reduces tungsten from its oxides. The parameters of Sm and SmO desorption from an oxidized tungsten surface are determined.     

Self-excitation and synchronization in a multibeam microwave generator with electron-oscillator flows

Self-excitation and radiation of a multibeam spatially distributed microwave generator with centrifugal electrostatic focusing are considered. The transition to equivalent self-oscillators with slowly varying amplitudes and phases is substantiated. Examples of the directivity patterns and level lines of the field radiated in the master-slave and mutual synchronization modes and observed in a given section are presented.
