Electromagnetic radiation absorption and reaction rates in partially ionized plasma

Electromagnetic radiation absorption and reaction rates in partially ionized plasma

M.A. Drofa, L.S. Kuzmenkov, S.G. Maximov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 1

The balance equations of particle number and momentum for systems with ionization and recombination of particles have been obtained. In the limit of low temperatures, for a hydrogen-like four-component system in an ionizing radiation field the dispersion relations have been found, which prove the existence of electromagnetic radiation absorption regions whose boundaries depend on the degree of ionization and elementary processes rates. Experimental determination of these boundaries may provide data on elementary processes rates.

S.S. Borodina, B.S. Ishkhanov, V.I. Mokeev

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 7

A method for describing cross sections of photo-neutron reactions on nuclei with mass numbers A > 80 has been developed. This method can be employed for solving problems of radioactive isotopes transmutation, as well as for numerous applied and fundamental studies, where the description of photoneutron cross sections is needed and no experimental data are available.

Slow induction of fluorescence of bean leaves on their treatment with $КН_{2} РО_{4}$ solutions

S.A. Dovyd'kov, V.A. Karavaev

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 13

The effect of $КН_2Р0_4$ solutions on the induction changes in bean leaf fluorescence has been studied using different methods of plant treatment: via the root system or by introducing the solutions into the leaf vein. It has been shown that irrespective of the method of treatment, the maximal changes in fluorescence induction occurred at a $10^{-5}- 10^{-4} М$ concentration of the $КН_2Р0_4$ solution. The dependence of the parameters of slow induction of fluorescence on time after phosphate treatment of the leaf has been studied. A positive correlation between relative fluorescence quenching in the course of slow induction and the stationary rate of photosynthesis has been established.

Spectral continua with peaks of intensity near 350 and 248 nm, found in the radiation of plasma mixtures containing $SO_3 +Хе$ and $SO_3 + Kr$, respectively, are presumably attributed to transitions of exciplexes $XeSO_4^*$ and $KrSO_4^*$ from the lower Coulomb state to the ground state. Proceeding from this assumption, the electron affinity energy of the radical $SO_4$ is estimated to be $ЕА_{SO_4}\approx 4,5$ eV.

Temperature and concentration dependences of $Gd_{1-x}Zr_xCo_2$ exchange and zone magnetostriction

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 23

The results of an investigation into the magnetostriction properties of $Gd_{1-x}Zr_xCo_2$ intermetallic compounds as a function of zirconium concentration have been presented for magnetic fields strength of 13 kOe and in the temperature range from 77 to 360 K. Volume magnetostriction is shown to comprise the exchange and zone contributions. The temperature and concentration dependences of these contributions have been found. It has been shown that the obtained dependences of magnetostriction can be justified by significant changes in the d-zone structure.

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 29

Recharging exchange of surface states in the structures of $Ge-GeO_2$-adsorbed molecules of weak organic photoacids (naphthols) - was studied. As a result of adsorption or lighting, naphthol molecules can give away their protons and become anion-radicals. Naphthols manifested a strong influence on the parameters of all groups of slow surface states.

Photoinduced effects in $\alpha Si:H$ films at elevated temperatures

Photoinduced effects in $\alpha Si:H$ films at elevated temperatures

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 35

The kinetics of dark conduction $(\sigma_d)$ in high-resistance $\alpha Si:H$ films during and after illumination at elevated temperatures (T > 120°C ) has been studied. It has been established that the $\sigma_d(t)$ value changes nonmonotonically: during illumination, it first decreases and then increases; after illumination, it first increases to a value larger than the equilibrium one and then slowly decreases to the equilibrium value. It has been shown that the time dependences of $\sigma_d(t)$ relaxation can be described by the sum of two extended exponents with different parameters $\tau$ and $\beta$. The nature of nonmonotone changes in $\sigma_d(t)$ is discussed.

Internal gravitational and magnetic fields in the analysis of polar oscillations of the Earth's inner core

Internal gravitational and magnetic fields in the analysis of polar oscillations of the Earth's inner core

N.A. Chuikova, S.A. Kazaryan, S.L. Pasynok

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 53

The problem of polar oscillations of the Earth's inner core was solved according to the Slichter-Busse procedure with account taken of the forces induced by the attraction of the asymmetric cover of the Earth and by the presence of a magnetic moment in the inner core. The internal gravitational and magnetic potentials were simulated in the form of the potentials of a single layer located on the spherical surface of the outer core. Two models of the gravitational potential were considered. The first was constructed on the basis of the external gravitational field of the Earth and the second model was based on seismic data. It was found that the choice of the model has no appreciable effect on the frequency of possible oscillations of the inner core and strongly affects the displacement of the Earth's core.

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 66

The gas ionization parameter $(N_e) / (N_e+n_1)$ was calculated for various gas densities and temperatures by two probabilistic methods for solving steady-state equations. The results produced by these methods were compared with those obtained by other authors. It is shown that the ionization parameter of a gas depends rather strongly on its optical thickness, density and temperature.

Calculation of processes in inhomogeneous plates under local thermal actions

G.N. Medvedev and B.I. Morgunov

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 76

Thermal and mechanical processes arising under local thermal actions on plates made of a homogeneous or an inhomogeneous material are considered. If the material is inhomogeneous, its characteristics vary considerably with the coordinate corresponding to the thickness of the plate. External thermal perturbations are concentrated in a small region and have a significant value. Temperature and displacement vector are determined with the use of an asymptotic procedure.

The probability of associative production of Higgs and Z-bosons by a charged lepton in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave of arbitrary intensity has been computed. It has been shown that in a particular case of a head-on collision of an electron with a low intensity wave when one photon is absorbed, the cross section of the process under investigation in the superhigh energy range increases according to a logarithmic law up to a value which is substantially greater than the cross section of the process $e^++e^-\to Z+H$ that takes place under similar conditions.

Moscow University Physics Bulletin 1997. 52. N 2. P. 88

Atmospheric neutrons and $\gamma$-quanta have been recorded separately under laboratory conditions with the aid of a CsI(Tl) scintillation crystal. The secondary charged products of interaction between neutrons and $\gamma$-quanta and the crystal material were identified by pulse shape in CsI(Tl). This technique allows one to detect a neutron flux (with energies $E_n>20$ MeV) of about $\sim 10^{-3} particles\cdot см^{-2}s^{-1}$ against a background of a $\gamma$-radiation flux which is an order of magnitude higher.

A three-dimensional model has been developed for self-radiation of a periodically perturbed water surface. The model is based on the perturbation method and allows one to obtain the spectrum of surface waves with the aid of non-contact measurements. The experimental data obtained for the case of two waves on the surface coincide with theoretical results to sufficient accuracy.

The process of tsunami generation by piston-like and membrane-like sea floor motions in an asymmetric focus area is investigated within the framework of linear potential theory. It was demonstrated that the wave radiation directivity and the total energy transmitted from the moving ocean sea floor depend essentially on the character and temporal law of sea floor motion in the focus.
