Quality estimation of structurally ordered assembly for threaded connection welding
Structurally ordered assembly for threaded connection welding allowing supporting high accuracy of relative position of a product connectable components has been considere
Phase stability, ordering tendencies, and magnetism in single-phase fcc Au-Fe nanoalloys
Bulk Au-Fe alloys separate into Au-based fcc and Fe-based bcc phases, but
L1 and L1 orderings were reported in single-phase Au-Fe nanoparticles.
Motivated by these observations, we study the structural and ordering
energetics in this alloy by combining density functional theory (DFT)
calculations with effective Hamiltonian techniques: a cluster expansion with
structural filters, and the configuration-dependent lattice deformation model.
The phase separation tendency in Au-Fe persists even if the fcc-bcc
decomposition is suppressed. The relative stability of disordered bcc and fcc
phases observed in nanoparticles is reproduced, but the fully ordered L1
AuFe, L1 AuFe, and L1 AuFe structures are unstable in DFT.
However, a tendency to form concentration waves at the corresponding [001]
ordering vector is revealed in nearly-random alloys in a certain range of
concentrations. This incipient ordering requires enrichment by Fe relative to
the equiatomic composition, which may occur in the core of a nanoparticle due
to the segregation of Au to the surface. Effects of magnetism on the chemical
ordering are also discussed.Comment: 23 pages, 11 figure
CURRENT TAX ISSUES OF THE GAS INDUSTRY
The Russian gas industry refers to the basic sectors of the economy, providing a significant proportion of state revenues, including the tax on mineral extraction. The mechanism of its collection in terms of gas and gas condensate has undergone significant changes, entered into force 01.07.2014. The introduction of the flexible tax mechanisms in the area of gas extraction contributes not only filling the budget, but also improves the extraction rates of hydrocarbons across the country, and therefore increases the energy security of Russia in the long term.The Russian gas industry refers to the basic sectors of the economy, providing a significant proportion of state revenues, including the tax on mineral extraction.

Interplay of the exciton and electron-hole plasma recombination on the photoluminescence dynamics in bulk GaAs
We present a systematic study of the exciton/electron-hole plasma
photoluminescence dynamics in bulk GaAs for various lattice temperatures and
excitation densities. The competition between the exciton and electron-hole
pair recombination dominates the onset of the luminescence. We show that the
metal-to-insulator transition, induced by temperature and/or excitation
density, can be directly monitored by the carrier dynamics and the
time-resolved spectral characteristics of the light emission. The dependence on
carrier density of the photoluminescence rise time is strongly modified around
a lattice temperature of 49 K, corresponding to the exciton binding energy (4.2
meV). In a similar way, the rise-time dependence on lattice temperature
undergoes a relatively abrupt change at an excitation density of 120-180x10^15
cm^-3, which is about five times greater than the calculated Mott density in
GaAs taking into account many body corrections.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Study of the magnetic anisotropy of the multiphase samples of the ferrimagnets with hexagonal crystal structure by the method of ferromagnetic resonance
The influence of machining conditions in a planetary ball mill on the phase composition, structural and magnetic parameters of hexaferrite powders composition BaFe12O19 was investigated. The properties of powders vary greatly depending on the power density and the time of machining. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy of multiphase powders was studied by the method of ferromagnetic resonance. The effective field of magnetic anisotropy is reduced by more than two times, with decreasing particle size of ~ 67 nm to ~ 10 nm when the processing time equal to 10 minutes. The flow of mechanochemical reactions during grinding leads to the disintegration of the hexagonal crystal phase and the formation of the magnetite phase with a small value of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy field
