Influence of Shear Deformation on Carbon Onions Stability under High Pressure

The influence of shear deformation on carbon onions stability under high pressure up to 45 GPa was investigated in a Shear Diamond Anvil Cell (SDAC) by the Raman spectroscopy and the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). At shear less then 40 degrees the carbon onions are stable up to 30 GPa. Biger shear deformation leads to increasing of size and destruction of the onions and to formation of sp3 C-C bonds. At pressure exceeded 45 GPa shear deformation leads to diamond-like carbon (DLC) formation. When you are citing the document, use the following link http://essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/3501

The effect of spontaneous collapses on neutrino oscillations

We compute the effect of collapse models on neutrino oscillations. The effect of the collapse is to modify the evolution of the `spatial' part of the wave function, which indirectly amounts to a change on the flavor components. In many respects, this phenomenon is similar to neutrino propagation through matter. For the analysis we use the mass proportional CSL model, and perform the calculation to second order perturbation theory. As we will show, the CSL prediction is very small - mainly due to the very small mass of neutrinos - and practically undetectable.Comment: 24 pages, RevTeX. Updated versio

Effect of a sweeping conductive wire on electrons stored in the Penning trap between the KATRIN spectrometers

The KATRIN experiment is going to search for the mass of the electron antineutrino down to 0.2 eV/c^2. In order to reach this sensitivity the background rate has to be understood and minimised to 0.01 counts per second. One of the background sources is the unavoidable Penning trap for electrons due to the combination of the electric and magnetic fields between the pre- and the main spectrometer at KATRIN. In this article we will show that by sweeping a conducting wire periodically through such a particle trap stored particles can be removed, an ongoing discharge in the trap can be stopped, and the count rate measured with a detector looking at the trap is reduced.Comment: Final version published in EPJ A, 14 pages, 19 figures (21 files

Distribution peculiarities of stray fields and magnetization near magnet singularities

Distributions of both magnetization and stray fields near singularities of a permanent magnet with high uniaxial anisotropy have been studied. On the basis of calculations it is shown that in magnets with high magnetic anisotropy, strong stray fields H > 4πMs occurring near the edge of a magnet do not practically result in deviation of magnetization from easy axis if the quality factor of the magnetic material g = K/(2πMS²) is g > 10. In such magnet systems, the distribution of magnetization is close to homogeneous, and it is possible to use the method of "magnetic charges" for calculations of stray fields. It is shown that the stray field near an edge of a magnet takes finite values, and the presence of a singularity at the dependence of the tangent component of the stray field Hτ ~ Ms-ln(a/r) at r → 0 is related to macroscopic characteristics generally accepted in magnetism, namely the surface density of "magnetic charges" σ
