On the Cartan Model of the Canonical Vector Bundles over Grassmannians

Further explorations of Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass formulas. III: Role of particle-number projection
Starting from HFB-6, we have constructed a new mass table, referred to as
HFB-8, including all the 9200 nuclei lying between the two drip lines over the
range of Z and N > 6 and Z < 122. It differs from HFB-6 in that the wave
function is projected on the exact particle number. Like HFB-6, the isoscalar
effective mass is constrained to the value 0.80 M and the pairing is density
independent. The rms errors of the mass-data fit is 0.635 MeV, i.e. better than
almost all our previous HFB mass formulas. The extrapolations of this new mass
formula out to the drip lines do not differ significantly from the previous
HFB-6 mass formula.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
A New High Energy Photon Tagger for the H1 - Detector at HERA
The H1 detector at HERA has been upgraded by the addition of a new
electromagnetic calorimeter. This is installed in the HERA tunnel close to the
electron beam line at a position 8m from the interaction point in the electron
beam direction. The new calorimeter extends the acceptance for tagged
photoproduction events to the high y range, 0.85 < y < 0.95, and thus
significantly improves the capability of H1 to study high energy gamma-p
processes. The calorimeter design, performance and first results obtained
during the 1996-1999 HERA running are described.Comment: 17 pages, 16 figure
Giant magnetoresistance in semiconductor / granular film heterostructures with cobalt nanoparticles
We have studied the electron transport in SiO(Co)/GaAs and
SiO(Co)/Si heterostructures, where the SiO(Co) structure is the
granular SiO film with Co nanoparticles. In SiO(Co)/GaAs
heterostructures giant magnetoresistance effect is observed. The effect has
positive values, is expressed, when electrons are injected from the granular
film into the GaAs semiconductor, and has the temperature-peak type character.
The temperature location of the effect depends on the Co concentration and can
be shifted by the applied electrical field. For the SiO(Co)/GaAs
heterostructure with 71 at.% Co the magnetoresistance reaches 1000 ( %)
at room temperature. On the contrary, for SiO(Co)/Si heterostructures
magnetoresistance values are very small (4%) and for SiO(Co) films the
magnetoresistance has an opposite value. High values of the magnetoresistance
effect in SiO(Co)/GaAs heterostructures have been explained by
magnetic-field-controlled process of impact ionization in the vicinity of the
spin-dependent potential barrier formed in the semiconductor near the
interface. Kinetic energy of electrons, which pass through the barrier and
trigger the avalanche process, is reduced by the applied magnetic field. This
electron energy suppression postpones the onset of the impact ionization to
higher electric fields and results in the giant magnetoresistance. The
spin-dependent potential barrier is due to the exchange interaction between
electrons in the accumulation electron layer in the semiconductor and
-electrons of Co.Comment: 25 pages, 16 figure
Tagging High Energy Photons in the H1 Detector at HERA
Measures taken to extend the acceptance of the H1 detector at HERA for
photoproduction events are described. These will enable the measurement of
electrons scattered in events in the high y range 0.85 < y < 0.95 in the 1998
and 1999 HERA run period. The improvement is achieved by the installation of an
electromagnetic calorimeter, the ET8, in the HERA tunnel close to the electron
beam line 8 m downstream of the H1 interaction point in the electron direction.
The ET8 will allow the study of tagged gamma p interactions at centre-of-mass
energies significantly higher than those previously attainable. The calorimeter
design and expected performance are discussed, as are results obtained using a
prototype placed as close as possible to the position of the ET8 during the
1996 and 1997 HERA running.Comment: 13 pages, 13 figure
Synthesis and Characterization of Electro-Explosive Magnetic Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
Nowadays there are new magnetic nanostructures based on bioactive metals with low toxicity and high efficiency for a wide range of biomedical applications including drugs delivery, antimicrobial drugs design, cells' separation and contrasting. For such applications it is necessary to develop highly magnetic particles with less than100 nm in size. In the present study magnetic nanoparticles Fe, Fe[3]O[4] and bimetallic Cu/Fe with the average size of 60- 90 nm have been synthesized by electrical explosion of wire in an oxygen or argon atmosphere. The produced nanoparticles have been characterized with transmission electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, and nitrogen thermal desorption. The synthesized particles have shown antibacterial activity to gram-positive (S. aureus, MRSA) and gramnegative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) bacteria. According to the cytological data Fe, Fe[3]O[4]and Cu/Fe nanoparticles have effectively inhibited viability of cancer cell lines Neuro-2a and J774. The obtained nanoparticles are promising for new antimicrobial drugs and antitumor agents' developmen
Energetics of metal slabs and clusters: the rectangle-box model
An expansion of energy characteristics of wide thin slab of thickness L in
power of 1/L is constructed using the free-electron approximation and the model
of a potential well of finite depth. Accuracy of results in each order of the
expansion is analyzed. Size dependences of the work function and electronic
elastic force for Au and Na slabs are calculated. It is concluded that the work
function of low-dimensional metal structure is always smaller that of
semi-infinite metal sample.
A mechanism for the Coulomb instability of charged metal clusters, different
from Rayleigh's one, is discussed. The two-component model of a metallic
cluster yields the different critical sizes depending on a kind of charging
particles (electrons or ions). For the cuboid clusters, the electronic spectrum
quantization is taken into account. The calculated critical sizes of
Ag_{N}^{2-} and Au_{N}^{3-} clusters are in a good agreement with experimental
data. A qualitative explanation is suggested for the Coulomb explosion of
positively charged Na_{\N}^{n+} clusters at 3<n<5.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, 1 tabl
Phase-Space Metric for Non-Hamiltonian Systems
We consider an invariant skew-symmetric phase-space metric for
non-Hamiltonian systems. We say that the metric is an invariant if the metric
tensor field is an integral of motion. We derive the time-dependent
skew-symmetric phase-space metric that satisfies the Jacobi identity. The
example of non-Hamiltonian systems with linear friction term is considered.Comment: 12 page
