Investigation on the origin of magnetization in plastically deformed Ni51Ti49 alloy

The article deals with the investigation of structure and magnetic properties of plastically deformed Ni51Ti49 alloy. The magnetic hysteresis loops confirm the presence of ferromagnetic properties in the alloy. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) detects the appearance of lenticular crystals with bending contours which indicate the large distortion of the crystal lattice. The crystal lattice curvature occurs due to the large atom displacement. As a result, icosahedral clusters with the Frank-Kasper (FK) structure can be formed. The spin-polarized density of electron states and the magnetic moments for both non-deformed (near-spherical structure) and deformed (elongated by 5% along the Z-axis) Ni7Ti5 (FK-12), Ni8Ti5 (FK-13), and Ni10Ti6 (FK-16) clusters are calculated for the explanation of possibility of magnetization appearance in Ni51Ti49 alloy. The calculations show the increase in the magnetic moments for the deformed clusters. The calculated spectra demonstrate the high density of electron states near the Fermi level which is a characteristic feature of ferromagnetic alloys

Магнитные свойства в пластически деформированном никель-титановом сплаве

Ni–Ti alloy has been intensively studied over the past decades. The unique properties of the alloy have allowed using it as a structural material for the creation of instruments and devices in various fields of science and technology, including mechanical engineering, aerospace, instrumentation. Measuring magnetic hysteresis loop is shown that after the deformation of the alloy having ferromagnetic properties. According to the equilibrium phase diagram, the alloys of Ni–Ti at a Ti content above 10 at. % is non-ferromagnetic. Due to lowering of the crystal phase symmetry with a cubic lattice the magnetization appears. In this work we have investigated the magnetic properties and the structure of deformed Ni51Ti49 samples by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. In Ni51Ti49 samples after plastic deformation the lenticular crystals containing bending contours with a high concentration of internal stresses were found. Bending contours indicate a large distortion of the crystal lattice. The curvature of the crystal lattice occurs due to the large displacements of the atoms. As a result, it can be formed and icosahedral cluster with the structure of the Frank–Kasper. An icosahedron is a twelve vertex polyhedron, which is denoted by FK-12. Furthermore, the crystal can be formed in other Frank–Kasper structures, e. g., FK-16. FK-16 is a sixteen vertex polyhedron with atom located in the center of the cluster. Indexing paintings electron diffraction and X-ray showed that the alloy phase of the Ni–Ti coexist with the structure Ti2Ni and Ni4Ti3. For explaining the possibility of the appearance of magnetization in Ni–Ti alloy samples spin-polarized electron density of states and magnetic moments Ni10Ti6 clusters (FK-16), Ni7Ti5 (FK-12) alloy Ni51Ti49 for electrons with different spin projections: “up” and “down” was calculated. The calculation by the scattered waves (RF) was performed. The results of calculation can be seen that the total electron density of nickel tends to zero faster than the density of titanium. Also shows that nickel becomes negative spin density in the area of r = 3.25–6.7 a. u. and titanium for r > 4.5 a. u. This may result depending on the value of the interatomic distances and to the effects ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetic in order to establish a magnetic clusters. The spectra show a high density of states near the Fermi level that is a characteristic feature of metals, besides there is an increase in the magnetization of the alloy during deformation. The calculations showed that the investigated clusters, not susceptible to deformation, also have a magnetic moment (the average magnetic moment per atom cluster FK-12, is about 1,0 μB, and for the FK-16 is about 0.3 μB. Overall, however, the average magnetic moment is zero, due to the absence of a preferred direction (the chaotic distribution of clusters) for the alloy. However, if the cluster is subjected to tension, the compensation of the magnetic moments of clusters occurs in the alloy, since there is allocated for all atoms direction due to deformation. At the same time, the average magnetic moments of the atoms in the cluster for the Deformed increase to 1.6 μB and 0.8 μB respectively for the FK-12 and FK-16

The Global Financial Crisis and the Banking System of Russia: Problems and Prospects

Russia's banking system is one of the most important for the country's economic development systems and developing dynamically. The banking system in each country reflects its economic and financial situation, the first responding to the UPS and downs in the national and global economy. The stable development of the banking sector ensures the stability of the entire state. Meanwhile, the crises affecting the banking system can change the growth prospects of national economies, resulting in ensuring the financial stability of the state is the basis of its development. Over the past two decades, the banking system of different levels of development of States faced financial turmoil, destabilizing national financial markets. Being in the center of economic life, serving the interests of manufacturers, banks mediate communication between industry and trade, agriculture and population. Banks play a huge role in further deepening and improvement of market relations in the country.

A new look at acid catalyzed deacetylation of carbohydrates : A regioselective synthesis and reactivity of 2-O-acetyl aryl glycopyranosides

Abstract In the present work we report that acetyl groups of per – acetylated aryl glycosides have different reactivity during the acidic deacetylation using HCl/EtOH in CHCl3, which leads to preferential deacetylation at O-3, O-4 and O-6. Thereby, the one-step preparation of 2-O-acetyl aryl glycosides with simple aglycon was accomplished for the first time. It was proved that the found reagent is to be general and unique for the preparation of series of 2-О-acetyl aryl glycosides. We have determined the influence of both carbohydrate moiety and the aglycon on the selectivity of deacetylation reaction by kinetic experiments. Using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and semi-empirical АМ1 methods we have found that the highest activation barrier is for 2-О-acetyl group. This completely explains the least reactivity of 2-О-acetyl group.Peer reviewe

Improvement of the multiphoton fluorescence microscopy images quality using digital filtration

In our study we used rank-order filter, the emissions filter on the base of the criteria of Pearson, Gaussian filter and median filterfor improving the is fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data. The data obtained with the FLIM technology are the distribution with a pronounced peak, while during measurement the peak value is measured with an error. According to the analysisthe Gaussian filter is more useful to improve quality of FLIM data.Spatial filtering allows to reduce the noise component, obtained in the course of measurements, including reduction the influence of the individual bursts. Filtering in time scale allows to determine a peak value of intensity more accurately.This research was carried out using the equipment of Tomsk Regional Common Use Center of Tomsk State University

Complex study of electronic states and spectra of 3-nitroformazans

A theoretical and experimental study of electronic states and the absorption spectra of 3-nitroformazan molecules was conducted. The results of the study show that the first electron transition is σ→π-transition, and the second one is π→π-transition. The energies of the transitions calculated using methods RI-CC2 and TDDFT correlate well with the experimental measurements. The dependence of the first electron transition wavenumber on the degree of electron donating and accepting of substitutituents was studied using empirical constants. High correlation between the constants of Hammett, Braun, and wavenumbers (TDDFT) of the first electron transition shows that the description of electronic states of the studied 3-nitroformazans is correct
