Superconducting single-mode contact as a microwave-activated quantum interferometer
The dynamics of a superconducting quantum point contact biased at subgap
voltages is shown to be strongly affected by a microwave electromagnetic field.
Interference among a sequence of temporally localized, microwave-induced
Landau-Zener transitions between current carrying Andreev levels results in
energy absorption and in an increase of the subgap current by several orders of
magnitude. The contact is an interferometer in the sense that the current is an
oscillatory function of the inverse bias voltage. Possible applications to
Andreev-level spectroscopy and microwave detection are discussed
On Properties of the Isoscalar Giant Dipole Resonance
Main properties (strength function, energy-dependent transition density,
branching ratios for direct nucleon decay) of the isoscalar giant dipole
resonance in several medium-heavy mass spherical nuclei are described within a
continuum-RPA approach, taking into account the smearing effect. All model
parameters used in the calculations are taken from independent data.
Calculation results are compared with available experimental data.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
High-temperature excess current and quantum suppression of electronic backscattering in a 1-D system
We consider the electronic current through a one-dimensional conductor in the
ballistic transport regime and show that the quantum oscillations of a weakly
pinned single scattering target results in a temperature- and bias-voltage
independent excess current at large bias voltages. This is a genuine effect on
transport that derives from an exponential reduction of electronic
backscattering in the elastic channel due to quantum delocalization of the
scatterer and from suppression of low-energy electron backscattering in the
inelastic channels caused by the Pauli exclusion principle. We show that both
the mass of the target and the frequency of its quantum vibrations can be
measured by studying the differential conductance and the excess current. We
apply our analysis to the particular case of a weakly pinned C60 molecule
encapsulated by a single-wall carbon nanotube and find that the discussed
phenomena are experimentally observable.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

The rate of the syndrome incidence among the patient of the elderly and old age of the surgical profile has been specified; the increase in prevalence and degree of the frailty syndrome severity in the patients after surgical treatment has been confirme
Influence mechanisms of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (spironolactone) among elderly patients with chronic heartfailure against ischemic disease
It was determined that a significant positive dynamics of TNF-synthesis suppression by 67.0% (p 0.0001) was established in the 4th group of patients taking combined therapy with the blocker of mineralocorticoid receptors with spironolacton
