Hydrocarbon impurities in SiF<Subscript>4</Subscript> and SiH<Subscript>4</Subscript> prepared from it

Using gas chromatography and high-resolution Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy, we have determined the concentrations of C₁–C₄ hydrocarbon impurities in isotopically unmodified silicon tetrafluoride before and after fine purification and in ²⁸Si-enriched SiF₄. The concentrations of C₁–C₄ hydrocarbon impurities in silicon tetrafluoride for SiH₄ synthesis have been shown to correlate with those in the synthesized silane.

Transport properties of Nd1.85Ce0.15 δ single crystals: The narrow-band model

The anisotropy of the resistivity and thermoelectric power (TEP)S of Nd_1.85Ce_0.15CuO_4?δ single crystal (T _c =17 K) has been investigated. In the temperature rangeT _c <T<300 K the ratioρ _c/ρ_ab≈10⁴ and the dependencesρ _ab (T) andρ _c (T) change from quadratic to linear atT～200 K. The dependencesS _ab (T) andS _c (T) reach a maximum atT>T _c and then decrease almost linearly with increasing temperature, changing sign from positive to negative nearT～ 150 K. The features of the resistivity and TEP temperature dependences (the lawρ∝T ² changing toρ∝T, the change in the sign of S with temperature, and the low TEP anisotropy at largeρ anisotropy) have been interpreted in the framework of the narrow-band model.     

The results of complex social and ecologic study in the city of Ufa

The authors present results of social and ecologic study carried out in Ufa. The results describe the course of ecologically important processes and phenomena in correlation with the public subjective understanding. Public health is influenced by hygienic parameters of food and water quality as well as a complex of social, economic and psychologic factors. Weak correlation between those parameters and ambient air pollution necessitates more accurate approach to ecologic mapping of cities and to manipulation with data on lower atmosphere pollution with chemical hazards.     

An Inductive Pulse Power-Amplifying Stage with Electric-Explosion Circuit Switching

An inductive power-amplifier stage based on a two-coil assembly and two electrically exploded conductors used as circuit breakers is described. Owing to the magnetic flux conservation, the interruption of the current in the first of the storage coils causes an increase of the current in the second coil, which results in a rapid thermal burst of the second electrically exploded conductor. As a result, the load-current rise-time is 20 times less than the charging-current rise time and the amplitude of the current increases.     

Effect of irradiation with low-energy Ar ions on the characteristics of the working and rear sides of single-crystal GaAs substrate

Contactless methods were used to study the characteristics of the front and rear sides of single-crystal GaAs wafers whose rear side was irradiated with low-energy Ar ions. Variations in the optical and photoelectric properties of irradiated and unirradiated sides were detected. A solitonic mechanism for the penetration of defects into the crystal bulk is suggested.
