Random Time-Scale Invariant Diffusion and Transport Coefficients

Single particle tracking of mRNA molecules and lipid granules in living cells shows that the time averaged mean squared displacement $\overline{\delta^2}$ of individual particles remains a random variable while indicating that the particle motion is subdiffusive. We investigate this type of ergodicity breaking within the continuous time random walk model and show that $\overline{\delta^2}$ differs from the corresponding ensemble average. In particular we derive the distribution for the fluctuations of the random variable $\overline{\delta^2}$. Similarly we quantify the response to a constant external field, revealing a generalization of the Einstein relation. Consequences for the interpretation of single molecule tracking data are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures.Article accompanied by a PRL Viewpoint in Physics1, 8 (2008

Beam-size effect and particle losses at SuperBB factory (Italy)

In the colliders, the macroscopically large impact parameters give a substantial contribution to the standard cross section of the $e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^- \gamma$ process. These impact parameters may be much larger than the transverse sizes of the colliding bunches. It means that the standard cross section of this process has to be substantially modified. In the present paper such a beam-size effect is calculated for bremsstrahlung at Super$B$ factory developed in Italy. We find out that this effect reduces beam losses due to bremsstrahlung by about 40%.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

The Separable Kernel of Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction in the Bethe-Salpeter Approach

The dispersion relations for nucleon-nucleon (NN) T-matrix in the framework of Bethe-Salpeter equation for two spin one-half particle system and with separable kernel of interaction are considered in the paper. The developed expressions are applied for construction of the separable kernel of interaction for S partial-waves in singlet and triplet channels. We calculate the low energy scattering parameters and the phase shifts and also the deuteron binding energy with the separable interaction. The approach can be easily extended to higher partial-waves for NN-scattering and other reactions (anti N N-, pi N-scattering).Comment: RevTex 4 style, 9 pages, 1 figur

The effect of thickness on the properties of laser-deposited NiBSi-WC coating on a Cu-Cr-Zr substrate

Ni/60WC coatings on copper substrate were placed via laser deposition (LD). A structural study was conducted using electron microscopy and a microhardness evaluation. Two body abrasive wear tests were conducted with a pin-on-plate reciprocating technique. A tool steel X12MF GOST 5960 (C-Cr-Mo-V 1.6-12-0.5-0.2) with a hardness of 63 HRC was used as a counterpart. The following results were obtained: Precipitation of the secondary carbides takes place in the thicker layers. Their hardness is lower than that of the primary carbides in the deposition (2425 HV vs. 2757 HV) because they mix with the matrix material. In the thin layers, precipitation is restricted due to a higher cooling rate. For both LD coatings, the carbide's hardness increases compared to the initial mono-tungsten carbide (WC)-containing powder (2756 HV vs. 2200 HV). Such a high level of microhardness reflects the combined influence of a low level of thermal destruction of carbides during laser deposition and the formation of a boride-strengthening phase from the matrix powder. The thicker layer showed a higher wear resistance; weight loss was 20% lower. The changes in the thickness of the laser deposited Ni-WC coating altered its structure and wear resistance. © 2019 by the authors.Acknowledgments: This work was supported by the state orders of IMP UB RAS on the subjects “Laser”, “Structure”.

Nanostructuring and surface hardening of structural steels by ultrasonic impact-frictional treatment

With two structural steels (the steels 50 and 09G2S) as examples, the paper studies the effectiveness of a new method of ultrasonic impact-frictional treatment (UIFT) for the hardening and nanostructuring of the surface layer with the variation of the tilt angle of the vibrating indenter and the treatment environment. It is demonstrated that treatment with tool tilt angles different from 90° and with the absence of a contact liquid results in the formation of a nanostructured surface layer with increased microhardness. © 2018 Author(s)

Structure study of laser treated NiBSi/WC coatings on bronze substrate

Metal matrix composite layers like NiCrB-WC on the substrate of bronze C18150 were performed by laser deposition. The influence of layer thickness and operating parameters on the structural characteristics, microhardness, and crack susceptibility were analyzed.

One-rank interaction kernel of the two-nucleon system for medium and high energies

A new version of the separable kernel of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in the Bethe-Salpeter approach is presented. The phase shifts are fitted to recent experimental data for singlet and uncoupled triplet partial waves of the neutron-proton scattering with total angular momenta J=0,1. The results are compared with other model calculations.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, 3 table
