Complication of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves scattered by charged nanoparticles with allowance for radiation reaction
A.A. Vlasov
Peculiarities of the scattering of electromagnetic waves by charged nanoparticles have been revealed, given the proper expression for the radiation reaction force. These peculiarities (the change in maximum intensity, the appearance of additional peaks in the spectrum, and others) can be used, in particular, in near-Earth plasma physics and charged nanoparticle physics.

Radial distribution function and the speed of sound in dense gases and liquids
O.P. Nikolaeva
An expression for the speed of sound is derived in terms of the radial distribution function and its temperature derivative. Since the radial distribution function and the speed of sound can be determined independently from experiments, the relation found can be used to analyze the substance’s phase diagram and the thermodynamic consistency of the equations of state.

A variational approach to the reconstruction of galactic peculiar velocities
A.A. Kurnosov, A.N. Sobolevskiĭ
A variational method for determining the peculiar velocities of galaxies using a catalog of their positions and masses is suggested. The method is based on an approximate reconstruction of the dynamical history of the patch of the Universe covered by the catalog through the optimization of a suitable integral action functional and is an improvement on the method of the Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation problem developed in [1].

For the first time, a detailed space-time dependence of acoustic pressure produced by a 50-MeV electron beam in water are obtained at the electron accelerator of Moscow State University. Measurements are performed at 100 points taken along one line parallel to the beam axis and spaced 6.5 cm apart from this axis. The 2D (time-distance) patterns display two paths corresponding to signals from two sound sources: a cylindrical acoustic antenna produced by the electron beam and the entrance cap separating the water and air media.

Efficiency of collinear acoustooptic interaction in an anisotropic medium
Yu.S. Dobrolenskii, V.B. Voloshinov
Collinear acoustooptic interaction in crystals with different values of birefringence is theoretically studied. The crystal medium is considered as a system of thin layers where the orientation of optical indicatrix varies from layer to layer due to the presence of an ultrasonic wave. For collinear diffraction inLiNbO$_3$, $\alpha $-SiO$_2$, Te, CaMoO$_4$ and Tl$_3$AsSe$_3$ crystals, expressions for the transmitted and diffracted intensities are obtained by means of acoustooptic methods and a new method based on the Jones calculus.

A spectroscopic study of the photosynthetic purple sulfur bacteria of the Chromatium genus is performed at various growth stages and under different culture conditions. Absorption and luminescence spectra of the bacterial cells are found to be useful in estimating their populations within certain concentration ranges. The relative proportion between the porphyrin and blue-band luminescence intensities can be used as an indicator of the physiological state of the culture.

Pixelated phase masks and their synthesis
G.V. Belokopytov, Yu.V. Korotkova
An approach to the design of holograms and masks for optical lithography is proposed on the basis of digitizing an image and dividing the sample into three phase components defined on a special bitmap. The equivalence conditions of the continuous and discrete methods of specifying a transmission function are studied. Computer modeling is used to reconstruct the images generated by means of the discrete phase masks synthesized. The locality principle has proven to hold: the transmission function at a given mask point is determined by the position of the nearest aperture.

V.S. Rusakov$^1$, M.V. Volovetskii$^2$, O.A. Lukanin$^2$
Mössbauer spectroscopy of natural silicate glasses of impact (tektites, impactites, and irghizites) and volcanic origin (obsidians) is performed. The resulted spectra are processed by the method of reconstructing the distribution functions of superfine parameters of partial spectra. The content of Fe$^{3+}$: is determined to be 5–10% in tektites, 15–25% in impactites, 25–35% in irghizites, and ∼20% in obsidians. The oxygen coordination sphere of Fe$^{3+}$ is found to be octahedral in the tektites, tetrahedral in the impactites, and intermediate in the other glasses. The coordination of Fe$^{2+}$ is intermediate between the octahedral and pentahedral ones.

A method of determining the distribution of photoconductivity and its relaxation time over the semiconductor wafer thickness
O.G. Koshelev$^1$, E.A. Guseva$^2$
A noncontact method is proposed to determine the depth profiles of photoconductivity and its relaxation time in a high-resistance plane-parallel semiconductor wafer placed at the center of an open confocal cavity normally to its axis and exposed to intensity-modulated light. The method is based on measuring the cavity transmission modulation depth at several frequencies for which the wafer optical thickness equals an integer number of half-waves and the wafer positions in which the phase difference between the interfering waves on the wafer surfaces is a multiple of $\pi/2$. The effect of experimental errors on the accuracy of the method is studied by computer simulation.
