Fluctuator Model of Memory Dip in Hopping Insulators

We show that the non-equilibrium dynamic in two-dimensional hopping insulators close to metal-dielectric transition is sensitive to electric fields confinement inside the sample, which leads to a nearly thermally activated conductance behavior and a strong non-equilibrium conductance response to the gate voltage, including a memory dip in a field dependence of conductance.     

Characteristics of a gas-discharge co-laser emitting at a harmonic,Part 2: Simultaneous emission at fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies in the pulse mode

The characteristics of a gas-discharge CO-laser operating simultaneously at fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies in the pulse mode are theoretically analyzed.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 41, No. 3, pp. 514–519, September, 1981.     

Analytical theory of steady generation on an overtone of the CO molecule

An analytical theory of steady generation of an overtone of the CO molecule is constructed on the basis of a continuous quasiresonance approximation. The analytical theory is compared with the results of a numerical calculation based on the complete set of kinetic equations.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 38, No. 2, pp. 273–277, February, 1980.     

Experimental and theoretical study of noncooled CO laser with short pulse pumping

This paper describes experiments and theory relating to CO laser action in various CO mixtures with N2and/or He. Short-pulse electron beam excitation of1-2 mus produced laser output between 1600 and 1900 cm^-1; the most intense line was at 1788.4 cm^-1and the shortest pulses of 4 μs duration were generated in the CO:He mixture. Although the calculated maximum efficiency was 7 percent, the maximum measured efficiency was 3 percent.     

Studies on the surface properties and the adhesion to metal of polyethylene coatings modified with primary aromatic amines

The surface free energy and acid–base characteristics of polyethylene coatings formed on steel in the presence of primary aromatic amines (PAAs) were investigated. PAAs were shown to interact with steel by a donor–acceptor mechanism. An increase in the coating adhesion is realized through chemical and physical bond formation between an adhesive and a substrate with the help of the PAA. The free surface energy of the contact‐to‐metal side of these coatings modified with PAA was shown to grow in parallel with the increase in adhesion. The results correlate with the data on polyethylene surface wetting with nonionic surfactants. Acid–base interactions were found to exert primary control over polyethylene's adhesion to steel. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 79: 388–397, 2001
