Superhyperfine interactions in Ce3+ doped LiYF4 crystal: ENDOR measurements
The first observation of the resolved Mims electron-nuclear double resonance
(ENDOR) spectra from the nearby and remote nuclei of 19F and 7Li nuclei on
impurity Ce3+ ions in LiYF4 crystal is reported. It shows that LiYF4:Ce3+
system can be exploited as a convenient matrix for performing spin
manipulations and adjusting quantum computation protocols while ENDOR technique
could be used for the investigation of electron-nuclear interaction with all
the nuclei of the system and exploited for the electron-nuclear spin
manipulations.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, 1 Table. Reported on Theor-2017 (Kazan, Russia)

Multi-operated HIL Test Bench for Testing Underwater Robot’s Buoyancy Variation System
Nowadays underwater gliders have become to play a vital role in ocean exploration and allow to obtain the valuable information about underwater environment. The traditional approach to the development of such vehicles requires a thorough design of each subsystem and conducting a number of expensive full scale tests for validation the accuracy of connections between these subsystems. However, present requirements to cost-effective development of underwater vehicles need the development of a reliable sampling and testing platform that allows the conducting a preliminary design of components and systems (hardware and software) of the vehicle, its simulation and finally testing and verification of missions. This paper describes the development of the HIL test bench for underwater applications. Paper discuses some advantages of HIL methodology provides a brief overview of buoyancy variation systems. In this paper we focused on hydraulic part of the developed test bench and its architecture, environment and tools. Some obtained results of several buoyancy variation systems testing are described in this paper. These results have allowed us to estimate the most efficient design of the buoyancy variation system. The main contribution of this work is to present a powerful tool for engineers to find hidden errors in underwater gliders development process and to improve the integration between glider’s subsystems by gaining insights into their operation and dynamics
Inhomogeneity of the intrinsic magnetic field in superconducting YBa2Cu3OX compounds as revealed by rare-earth EPR-probe
X-band electron paramagnetic resonance on doped Er3+ and Yb3+ ions in
Y0.99(Yb,Er)0.01Ba2Cu3OX compounds with different oxygen contents in the wide
temperature range (4-120)K have been made. In the superconducting species, the
strong dependencies of the linewidth and resonance line position from the sweep
direction of the applied magnetic field are revealed at the temperatures
significantly below TC. The possible origins of the observed hysteresis are
analyzed. Applicability of the presented EPR approach to extract information
about the dynamics of the flux-line lattice and critical state parameters
(critical current density, magnetic penetration depth, and characteristic
spatial scale of the inhomogeneity) is discussedComment: 17 pages, 5 Figures. Renewed versio
Influence of international transport and logistics systems on economic development of the region
The paper considers functioning of international transport and logistics system (TLS). With that, investigated is the whole of logistical, functional and support subsystems of an international distribution network consisting of units that are integrated with material and related flows in order to maximize synergy through establishing and developing cooperation between participants of transport and logistics process. © IDOSI Publications, 2013
An electrothermal vaporization unit with axially focusing convection upstream and influence of modifiers. Part I: Experimental
A novel, further improved construction of an electrothermal vaporization (ETV) unit is described, and new measurements are presented. Its main feature is an upstream within a vertical tube creating an axially focusing convection zone, where the condensation occurs in a laminar flow predominantly apart from the colder walls. The upstream is shielded against incandescent emission of the graphite furnace (GF) and surrounded with different cooling gas flows, that have additional focusing effect. The transported ETV generated aerosol is electrostatically precipitated onto a secondary platform that is subsequently analyzed for the transported analytes. Transport efficiencies (TEs) for Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Pb are studied using a continuum source coherent forward scattering multi-element spectrometer coupled to the ETV. Increasing TE is observed with the ageing of the GF. The effect is presumably ascribed to the growing content of carbon particulates released during the vaporization. A positive impact of K and Pd modifiers in microgram amounts foremost on the TEs of more volatile species is observed and discussed. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Study of the structures of the tetragonal paramagnetic centers in the mixed fluorite crystals with rare-earth ions by EPR
© Springer-Verlag Wien 2014. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of the mixed fluorite crystals with the general formula (MeF2)1-x-y(REF3)x(RF3)y (Me = Ca, Sr, Ba; R = Y, La, Lu; RE—paramagnetic trivalent rare-earth ions) were studied comprehensively by different authors and several structural models of paramagnetic centers were considered. However, a lot of details of EPR spectra still remain unexplained. In this work some modifications of the simplest models are proposed which allow explaining adequately the variety of the tetragonal centers in crystals grown under the different conditions. The calculated from the proposed models components of g-factors for Ce3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Er3+ ions are in a good agreement with the experimental values

EPR study of clusters of rare-earth ions in mixed fluoride crystals
The EPR spectra of the (BaF2)1 - x (CeF3) x system are studied for the concentrations x = 0, 0.001, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, and 0.02. The appearance of new tetragonal centers is detected beginning from x = 0.002, the intensity of these centers being maximal at x = 0.01. The (CaF2)1 - x - y (CeF3) x (YF3) y double solutions with x = 0.001 and y from 0 to 0.02 are also studied. In addition to the ordinary tetragonal center, beginning from y = 0.001, a new tetragonal center appears with the same structure as in the previously studied mixed crystals based on BaF2 - namely, the Ce3+-R3+ chain elongated along the fourfold axis substitutes the Ca2+-Ca2+-Ca2+ and Ba 2+-Ba2+-Ba2+ chains in regular CaF2 and BaF2 crystals (is the cation vacancy, and R3+ is the Ce3+, La3+, or Y3+ trivalent ion). © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
