Microwave Response of V3Si Single Crystals: Evidence for Two-Gap Superconductivity
The investigation of the temperature dependences of microwave surface
impedance and complex conductivity of V3Si single crystals with different
stoichiometry allowed to observe a number of peculiarities which are in
remarkable contradiction with single-gap Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. At
the same time, they can be well described by two-band model of
superconductivity, thus strongly evidencing the existence of two distinct
energy gaps with zero-temperature values Delta1~1.8Tc and Delta2~0.95Tc in
V3Si.Comment: Submitted to Europhysics Letter
Spacecraft for flight in the atmosphere of Venus
Possible configurations of space vehicles which would be delivered to Venus by rocket system in order to autonomously carry out flights in an automatic (and possibly piloted) mode are considered with respect to mission and flight altitude. Base (high altitude) vehicles, operating at pressure, sendity, and temperature corresponding to those on Earth at sea level, will have little maneuverability, will serve as carriers for equipment, scientific devices, and other cargo, and will study the gas composition of the Venus atmosphere from above. Low altitude vehicles will explore the planet from flight altitude in the vicinity of the planet's surface, as well as land on it. Analogous to deep submergence vehicles such as the bathyscaphe and the bathyplane, they will have a certain amount of maneuverability and will study the atmospheric boundary layer from below. The advantages of aerostats in this environment are discussed. Drawings of the aerostatic base station, the variable-length aerostatic sing vehicle, and the hybrid aerostatic vehicle with attached wings are included
Interaction of strongly correlated electrons and acoustical phonons
We investigate the interaction of correlated electrons with acoustical
phonons using the extended Hubbard-Holstein model in which both, the
electron-phonon interaction and the on-site Coulomb repulsion are considered to
be strong. The Lang-Firsov canonical transformation allows to obtain mobile
polarons for which a new diagram technique and generalized Wick's theorem is
used. This allows to handle the Coulomb repulsion between the electrons emerged
into a sea of phonon fields (\textit{phonon clouds}). The physics of emission
and absorption of the collective phonon-field mode by the polarons is discussed
in detail. Moreover, we have investigated the different behavior of optical and
acoustical phonon clouds when propagating through the lattice. In the
strong-coupling limit of the electron-phonon interaction, and in the normal as
well as in the superconducting phase, chronological thermodynamical averages of
products of acoustical phonon-cloud operators can be expressed by one-cloud
operator averages. While the normal one-cloud propagator has the form of a
Lorentzian, the anomalous one is of Gaussian form and considerably smaller.
Therefore, the anomalous electron Green's functions can be considered to be
more important than corresponding polarons functions, i.e., pairing of
electrons without phonon-clouds is easier to achieve than pairing of polarons
with such clouds.Comment: : 28 pages, 9 figures, revtex4. Invited paper for a special issue of

Diagrammatic theory for Periodic Anderson Model: Stationary property of the thermodynamic potential
Diagrammatic theory for Periodic Anderson Model has been developed, supposing
the Coulomb repulsion of localized electrons as a main parameter of the
theory. electrons are strongly correlated and conduction electrons
are uncorrelated. Correlation function for and mass operator for
electrons are determined. The Dyson equation for and Dyson-type equation
for electrons are formulated for their propagators. The skeleton diagrams
are defined for correlation function and thermodynamic functional. The
stationary property of renormalized thermodynamic potential about the variation
of the mass operator is established. The result is appropriate as for normal
and as for superconducting state of the system.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figure
Magnetic field effect on tunnel ionization of deep impurities by terahertz radiation
A suppression of tunnelling ionization of deep impurities in terahertz
frequency electric fields by a magnetic field is observed. It is shown that the
ionization probability at external magnetic field, B, oriented perpendicular to
the electric field of terahertz radiation, E, is substantially smaller than
that at B || E. The effect occurs at low temperatures and high magnetic fields
Orthostasis test in the practice of the cardiologist
The orthostasis test makes it possible to evaluate neurohumoral regulation and reaction of the circulatory system and to detect changes in the function of a number of internal organs (especially the kidney). Simultaneous recording of the ECG in an orthostatic position despite nonspecificity, makes it possible to detect hidden damage (organic or metabolic) or increased sensitivity of the myocardium to stressor sympathetico-adrenal effects, stability of therapeutic effect, and the action mechanism of a number of drugs
