Cross-relaxation and phonon bottleneck effects on magnetization dynamics in LiYF4:Ho3+

Frequency and dc magnetic field dependences of dynamic susceptibility in diluted paramagnets LiYF$_4$:Ho$^{3+}$ have been measured at liquid helium temperatures in the ac and dc magnetic fields parallel to the symmetry axis of a tetragonal crystal lattice. Experimental data are analyzed in the framework of microscopic theory of relaxation rates in the manifold of 24 electron-nuclear sublevels of the lowest non-Kramers doublet and the first excited singlet in the Ho$^{3+}$ ground multiplet $^5I_8$ split by the crystal field of S$_4$ symmetry. The one-phonon transition probabilities were computed using electron-phonon coupling constants calculated in the framework of exchange charge model and were checked by optical piezospectroscopic measurements. The specific features observed in field dependences of the in- and out-of-phase susceptibilities (humps and dips, respectively) at the crossings (anti-crossings) of the electron-nuclear sublevels are well reproduced by simulations when the phonon bottleneck effect and the cross-spin relaxation are taken into account

The algebraic hyperstructure of elementary particles in physical theory

Algebraic hyperstructures represent a natural extension of classical algebraic structures. In a classical algebraic structure, the composition of two elements is an element, while in an algebraic hyperstructure, the composition of two elements is a set. Algebraic hyperstructure theory has a multiplicity of applications to other disciplines. The main purpose of this paper is to provide examples of hyperstructures associated with elementary particles in physical theory.Comment: 13 page

Constraints on Conformal Windows from Holographic Duals

We analyze a beta function with the analytic form of Novikov-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov result in the five dimensional gravity-dilaton environment. We show how dilaton inherits poles and fixed points of such beta function through the zeros and points of extremum in its potential. Super Yang-Mills and supersymmetric QCD are studied in detail and Seiberg's electric-magnetic duality in the dilaton potential is explicitly demonstrated. Non-supersymmetric proposals of similar functional form are tested and new insights into the conformal window as well as determinations of scheme-independent value of the anomalous dimension at the fixed point are presented.Comment: Fig. 5b is corrected to match the discussion in the tex

Компьютерное моделирование ветровых нагрузок на высотные здания

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of wind pressure on high rise buildings being under construction and planned in Yekaterinburg city (Russia). Simulation is performed in the program ANSYS. The simulated building is placed in a domain that is the numerical analogue of wind tunnel. Domain sizes are chosen in such a way that simulated buildings do not affect the flow of air on its boundaries. Shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model is used. In order to validate the numerical model the paper presents the results of experimental study and numerical simulation of external air flow around the cylindrical body with the diameter of 8 mm, placed on the way of free submerged jet of air. The cylinder which has simple geometry form was used due to the need to achieve the generality of the outcomes. A comparison of the results of calculation of wind pressure with the experimental data blasting building models in wind tunnels is done.В статье представлены результаты численного моделирования задачи определения ветровых давлений на строящиеся или проектируемые в г. Екатеринбурге (Россия) высотные здания. Задача решается в пакете ANSYS. Моделируемое здание и его окружение помещаются в домен, который является численным аналогом ветровой трубы. Размеры домена назначаются таким образом, чтобы объекты, входящие в домен, не влияли на движение воздуха у внешних границ домена. Для расчета используется модель SST. Для проверки правильности численной модели приводится сравнение результатов расчета с экспериментальными данными обдувки цилиндра диаметром 8 мм. Такая модель простой формы выбрана для удобства сравнения. Приведено сравнение численных результатов расчета давлений ветра на высотные здания с результатами обдувки в ветровых трубах

Natural fourth generation of leptons

We consider implications of a fourth generation of leptons, allowing for the most general mass patterns for the fourth generation neutrino. We determine the constraints due to the precision electroweak measurements and outline the signatures to search for at the LHC experiments. As a concrete framework to apply these results we consider the minimal walking technicolor (MWTC) model where the matter content, regarding the electroweak quantum numbers, corresponds to a fourth generation.Comment: 21 pages, 11 figures, 1 table; version to appear in JHE

Coordination Polymers based on calixarene derivatives: Structures and properties

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The solid-state structures of 1D–3D Coordination Polymers based on the macrocyclic calixarene backbone have been reviewed, based on the chemical nature of appended substituents on the macrocycle platform. The coordination propensity of this class of ligands is analysed, taking into account the different coordinating atoms/groups that can be located on the macrocyclic ligand: (1) the unmodified inherently coordinating thiacalix[4]arene with the S bridges as donor atoms; (2) different conformations of calix[n] arene units, with appended O donor atoms; (3) the chemical modification of the upper rim of calix[n]arenes and thiacalix[n] arenes, with coordinating groups, in particular the use of the sulfonate groups; (4) calix[4]arenes, thiacalix[4] arenes and tetramercaptothiacalix[4]rene that have been modified at their lower rim (mono, di and tetra substitution) with coordinating groups like cyano, carboxylate, pyridyl and pyrazolyl groups. All the formed coordination networks have been described. A special attention has been drawn to the structural and functional properties of these extended networks: magnetic, luminescence, adsorption and catalytic properties. Perspectives and future challenges in this emerging field are also discussed
