Determination of the Real Exchange Rate of the Ruble and Assessment of Long-Run Policy of Real Exchange Rate Targeting
The equilibrium real exchange rate of the Russian ruble is estimated for the period from the early 1995 to the early 2008. According to the methodological approach proposed by Edwards (1988), the equilibrium real exchange rate is a function of a set of fundamental variables (a so-called "reduced form equation"). In order to estimate an equilibrium real exchange rate, a set of fundamentals was selected: terms of trade; productivity differential; fiscal policy variable. Estimation was performed in a co-integrated VAR framework using the Johansen co-integration test. The speed of adjustment of the actual real exchange rate to the equilibrium real exchange rate as well as the influence of monetary policy and private capital flows on the short-run dynamics of real exchange rate is explored.Equilibrium exchange rate, cointegrated var framework, real exchange rate misalignment, a half life
Carrier transport and screening in n-i-p-i crystals
The variation of the energy spectrum of n-i-p-i crystals under excitation was examined and the
influence of the reduction of the screening length on the ratio between the coefficient of diffusion
and the mobility of the current carriers was established. It is shown that the filling of subband
states by carriers results in an anomalous behaviour of the diffusivity-mobility ratio. The effect
occurs in the electric quantum limit and at room temperature as well
Calculation of energy characteristics for Si1-xGex-Si strucrures with single quantum wells
Energy characteristics of Si1–xGex–Si quantum-size structures with single quantum wells were calculated numerically
based on a four-band k⋅p method. Analytical expressions for the Luttinger parameters are obtained
as functions of the component composition of Si1–xGex compounds. Analytical expressions for the energy h−ω
of optical band-to-band transitions are obtained in an effective mass approximation and agree well with numerical
calculations by the k⋅p method. This allows one to determine accurately a range of changes while
varying the component compositions and thickness of the active and barrier layers
Abnormal Character of the Diffusivity-mobility Ratio in Doping Superlattices
The influence of high level of doping in type n-i-p-i crystal structures on electron and hole state distributions is examined. Abnormal behaviour in the diffusivity- mobility ratio due to shortening of the density
state tails under excitation of doping Superlattices is described
Production of broadband modal gain spectra in asymmetric multiple quantum-well Ga0.47In0.53As/Ga0.18In0.82As0.4P0.6 heterostructures
The modal gain spectra of asymmetric multiple
quantum-well Ga0.47In0.53As/Ga0.18In0.82As0.4P0.6 hetero-
structures are theoretically analysed within the framework
of the four-band kp method. An efficient procedure for
obtaining the broadband and almost êat gain spectrum is
proposed. The designs of semiconductor radiation sources
with different sets of nonuniformly excited quantum wells
producing broadband amplification in spectral ranges from
1.28 to 1.525 \mu m and from 1.36 to 1.6 \mu m are calculated
Nonlinear gain and bistability in photonic crystal heterostructures with compositional and doping superlattices
Optical properties of photonic crystal heterostructures with embedded n–i–p–i superlattices are studied. Nonlinear
behavior of the transmission and reflection spectra near the defect mode is investigated. Self-consistent calculations of
the output performance characteristics are performed using the transfer-matrix method and taking into account the gain
saturation. Features and characteristic parameters of the nonlinear gain in active n–i–p–i layers are determined. Detail
analysis of the gain saturation and accompanying nonlinear refraction effects is carried out for one-dimensional photonic
crystal heterostructure amplifiers in the GaAs–GaInP system having at the central part an active “defect” from the
doubled GaAs n-i-p-i crystal. The gain saturation in the active layers in the vicinity of the defect changes the index
contrast of the photonic structure and makes worse the emission at the defect mode. Spectral bistability effect which can
be exhibited in photonic crystal heterostructure amplifiers is predicted and the hysteresis loop and other attending
phenomena are described. The bistability behavior and modulation response efficiency demonstrate the potential
possibilities of the photonic crystal heterostructures with n-i-p-i layers as high-speed optical amplifiers and switches

Optoelectronic properties and characteristics of doping superlattices
Optical and electric properties of doping superlattices, or n-i-p-i crystals, can be varied in a wide range under excitation and through the choice of the thicknesses and doping of the crystal layers. Some basic results concerned the transformation of the electron energy spectrum of doping superlattices are summarized. Parameters and characteristics of doping superlattices related to optoelectronics devices, such as photodetectors, laser diodes, and optical modulators, are presented
Nonlinear optical processes in doped semiconductor superlattices
For doped semiconductor superlattices we have analyzed the effects of absorption saturation and
change in the refractive index depending on the level of their excitation and structure parameters.
The calculations were carried out with account for the tails of the density of states and screening of
the electrostatic potential. It is shown that doped superlattices may display "shading," i.e., the increase
in the absorption coefficient at a fixed frequency with increase in light intensity. For δ-doped
superlattices a stronger nonmonotonicity of the change in the refractive index with increase in the
excitation level in comparison with typical structures can manifest itself
