Bitsadze-Samarskii type problem for the integro-differential diffusion-wave equation on the Heisenberg group
This paper deals with the fractional generalization of the integro-differential diffusion-wave equation for the Heisenberg sub-Laplacian, with homogeneous Bitsadze-Samarskii type time-nonlocal conditions. For the considered problem, we show the existence, uniqueness and the explicit representation formulae for the solution
Multifrequency EPR and DENR of polyacetylene composite
The organo-inorganic composite MoCl1.9 ± 0.1(C 30 ± 1H30 ± 1), a product of interaction of MoCl5 with C2H2, has been studied by X- and W-band EPR, double electron nuclear resonance, and W-band electron spin echo spectroscopy. The composite consists of nanosized organometallic molybdenum clusters in the polyacetylene matrix. It has been shown that the composite contains three types of magnetic centers: the first is related to the existence of paramagnetic molybdenum atoms in the polyacetylene matrix, and the other two are paramagnetic defects of the matrix. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
Low-frequency dynamics of disordered XY spin chains and pinned density waves: from localized spin waves to soliton tunneling
A long-standing problem of the low-energy dynamics of a disordered XY spin
chain is re-examined. The case of a rigid chain is studied where the quantum
effects can be treated quasiclassically. It is shown that as the frequency
decreases, the relevant excitations change from localized spin waves to
two-level systems to soliton-antisoliton pairs. The linear-response correlation
functions are calculated. The results apply to other periodic glassy systems
such as pinned density waves, planar vortex lattices, stripes, and disordered
Luttinger liquids.Comment: (v2) Major improvements in presentation style. One figure added (v3)

Radiation-induced hydrogen transfer in metals
The paper presents processes of hydrogen (deuterium) diffusion and release from hydrogen-saturated condensed matters in atomic, molecular and ionized states under the influence of the electron beam and X-ray radiation in the pre-threshold region. The dependence is described between the hydrogen isotope release intensity and the current density and the electron beam energy affecting sample, hydrogen concentration in the material volume and time of radiation exposure to the sample. The energy distribution of the emitted positive ions of hydrogen isotopes is investigated herein. Mechanisms of radiation-induced hydrogen transfer in condensed matters are suggested
Study of structural and dynamic characteristics of copper(ii) amino acid complexes in solutions by combined EPR and NMR relaxation methods
Structural features and dynamical behaviour of the copper(ii) bis-complexes with glycine, d-alanine, d-valine, l-serine, l-aspartic acid, l-glutamic acid, l-lysine, l-proline, and sarcosine were studied by combined EPR and NMR relaxation methods. The cis and trans isomers were unambiguously assigned and characterized by EPR data. It was found that addition of a salt background has an influence on the cis-trans isomer equilibrium in favour of the formation of the cis isomer. By comparison of NMRD, DFT computations, and structural data it was shown that only one water molecule is coordinated in the axial position of these complexes. The increased exchange rates of this molecule found for Cu(l-Asp)2 2-, Cu(l-Glu)2 2-, Cu(l-LysH)2 2+, and Cu(l-Pro)2 were attributed to its pushing out by side chain groups of the ligands. By simulation of NMRD profiles an increase of lifetimes of the copper(ii) 2nd coordination sphere water molecules was revealed in the presence of additional carboxylic, alcoholic, or ammonium groups of the ligands, as well as the pyrrolidine ring of proline. The very short lifetimes of the 2nd coordination sphere water molecules (4-13 ps at 298 K) were explained in terms of the Frank-Wen structural model by the existence of cavities which draw in quickly enough water molecules from the 2nd coordination sphere. © 2014 The Partner Organisations
Non-thermal response of YBCO thin films to picosecond THz pulses
The photoresponse of YBa2Cu3O7-d thin film microbridges with thicknesses
between 15 and 50 nm was studied in the optical and terahertz frequency range.
The voltage transients in response to short radiation pulses were recorded in
real time with a resolution of a few tens of picoseconds. The bridges were
excited by either femtosecond pulses at a wavelength of 0.8 \mu m or broadband
(0.1 - 1.5 THz) picosecond pulses of coherent synchrotron radiation. The
transients in response to optical radiation are qualitatively well explained in
the framework of the two-temperature model with a fast component in the
picosecond range and a bolometric nanosecond component whose decay time depends
on the film thickness. The transients in the THz regime showed no bolometric
component and had amplitudes up to three orders of magnitude larger than the
two-temperature model predicts. Additionally THz-field dependent transients in
the absence of DC bias were observed. We attribute the response in the THz
regime to a rearrangement of vortices caused by high-frequency currents
