Modeling of ion-implanted atoms diffusion during the epitaxial growth of the layer
The equation of impurity diffusion due to formation, migration, and
dissolution of the pairs "impurity atom - intrinsic point defect" taking into
account the nonuniform distributions of nonequilibrium point defects and drift
of the pairs in the field of elastic stresses is presented in the coordinate
system associated with the moving surface of the growing epitaxial layer. The
analytical solution of this equation for the low fluence ion implantation has
been obtained.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figure
Singularity deep inside the spherical charged black hole core
We study analytically the spacelike singularity inside a
spherically-symmetric, charged black hole coupled to a self-gravitating
spherical massless scalar field. We assume spatial homogeneity, and find a
generic solution in terms of a formal series expansion. This solution is tested
against fully-nonlinear and inhomogeneous numerical simulations. We find full
compliance between our analytical solution and the pointwise behavior of the
singularity in the numerical simulations. This is a strong scalar-curvature
monotonic spacelike singularity, which connects to a weak null singularity at
asymptotically-late advanced time.Comment: 6 pages, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Self force on static charges in Schwarzschild spacetime
We study the self forces acting on static scalar and electric test charges in
the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole. The analysis is based on a direct,
local calculation of the self forces via mode decomposition, and on two
independent regularization procedures: A spatially-extended particle model
method, and on a mode-sum regularization prescription. In all cases we find
excellent agreement with the known exact results.Comment: 21 pages, 9 Encapsulated PostScript figures, submitted to Class.

Numerical investigation of the late-time Kerr tails
The late-time behavior of a scalar field on fixed Kerr background is examined
in a numerical framework incorporating the techniques of conformal
compactification and hyperbolic initial value formulation. The applied code is
1+(1+2) as it is based on the use of the spectral method in the angular
directions while in the time-radial section fourth order finite differencing,
along with the method of lines, is applied. The evolution of various types of
stationary and non-stationary pure multipole initial states are investigated.
The asymptotic decay rates are determined not only in the domain of outer
communication but along the event horizon and at future null infinity as well.
The decay rates are found to be different for stationary and non-stationary
initial data, and they also depend on the fall off properties of the initial
data toward future null infinity. The energy and angular momentum transfers are
found to show significantly different behavior in the initial phase of the time
evolution. The quasinormal ringing phase and the tail phase are also
investigated. In the tail phase, the decay exponents for the energy and angular
momentum losses at future null infinity are found to be smaller than at the
horizon which is in accordance with the behavior of the field itself and it
means that at late times the energy and angular momentum falling into the black
hole become negligible in comparison with the energy and angular momentum
radiated toward future null infinity. The energy and angular momentum balances
are used as additional verifications of the reliability of our numerical
method.Comment: 33 pages, 12 figure
The Speciality Index as invariant indicator in the BKL Mixmaster Dynamics
The speciality index, which has been mainly used in Numerical Relativity for
studying gravitational waves phenomena as an indicator of the special or
non-special Petrov type character of a spacetime, is applied here in the
context of Mixmaster cosmology, using the Belinski-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz map.
Possible applications for the associated chaotic dynamics are discussed
Plastic Reconstruction of Dehenerative Achilles Tendon Ruptures Using the Bioprosthesis of Xenopericardium
Two methods for the plastic reconstruction of degenerative Achilles tendon ruptures have been developed, using biological xenopericardium prosthetics. 21 patients were operated. In cases of tendon gliding surface deformation, the insulating plastic reconstruction was used in 14 of them by wrapping the suture area with xenopericardium; the replacement plastic reconstruction was applied in 7 patients. In case of an unrecoverable defect, the tendons were replaced with a specially formed prosthesis. The long-term results of the use of xenopericardium prostheses were compared with the traditional methods. The study involved 120 patients, divided into 5 groups according to the type of surgery: the closed perirocous suture of the Achilles tendon (25 patients), the open stitching of the ruptured tendon (28 patients), the plastic tendon by Chernavsky (24 patients), the tendon plastics by the lavsan ribbon (22 patients) and the tendon grafting with xenopericardium bioprostheses (21 patients). The results were evaluated by the method of Leppilahti J. (1998). The results obtained suggest that the application of xenopericardial prosthetics leads to a significant increase in the number of excellent and good results in comparison with the other methods
Physics of the interior of a black hole with an exotic scalar matter
We use a numerical code to consider the nonlinear processes arising when a
Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is irradiated by an exotic scalar field (modelled
as a free massless scalar field with an opposite sign for its energy-momentum
tensor). These processes are quite different from the processes arising in the
case of the same black hole being irradiated by a pulse of a normal scalar
field. In our case, we did not observe the creation of a spacelike strong
singularity in the T-region of the space-time. We investigate the antifocusing
effects in the gravity field of the exotic scalar field with the negative
energy density and the evolution of the mass function. We demonstrate the
process of vanishing of the black hole when it is irradiated by a strong pulse
of an exotic scalar field.Comment: 16 pages, 16 figures. Text has been rewritten and restructured,

The late-time singularity inside non-spherical black holes
It was long believed that the singularity inside a realistic, rotating black
hole must be spacelike. However, studies of the internal geometry of black
holes indicate a more complicated structure is typical. While it seems likely
that an observer falling into a black hole with the collapsing star encounters
a crushing spacelike singularity, an observer falling in at late times
generally reaches a null singularity which is vastly different in character to
the standard Belinsky, Khalatnikov and Lifschitz (BKL) spacelike singularity.
In the spirit of the classic work of BKL we present an asymptotic analysis of
the null singularity inside a realistic black hole. Motivated by current
understanding of spherical models, we argue that the Einstein equations reduce
to a simple form in the neighborhood of the null singularity. The main results
arising from this approach are demonstrated using an almost plane symmetric
model. The analysis shows that the null singularity results from the blueshift
of the late-time gravitational wave tail; the amplitude of these gravitational
waves is taken to decay as an inverse power of advanced time as suggested by
perturbation theory. The divergence of the Weyl curvature at the null
singularity is dominated by the propagating modes of the gravitational field.
The null singularity is weak in the sense that tidal distortion remains bounded
along timelike geodesics crossing the Cauchy horizon. These results are in
agreement with previous analyses of black hole interiors. We briefly discuss
some outstanding problems which must be resolved before the picture of the
generic black hole interior is complete.Comment: 16 pages, RevTeX, 3 figures included using psfi

Analytical treatment of critical collapse in 2+1 dimensional AdS spacetime: a toy model
We present an exact collapsing solution to 2+1 gravity with a negative
cosmological constant minimally coupled to a massless scalar field, which
exhibits physical properties making it a candidate critical solution. We
discuss its global causal structure and its symmetries in relation with those
of the corresponding continously self-similar solution derived in the
case. Linear perturbations on this background lead to approximate
black hole solutions. The critical exponent is found to be .Comment: 22 pages, 6 figures. Major changes in the discussions of Sects. 2 and
