Baryon deceleration by strong chromofields in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
It is assumed that strong chromofields are generated at early stages of
ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions which give rise to a collective
deceleration of net baryons from colliding nuclei. We have solved classical
equations of motion for baryonic slabs under the action of a time-dependent
longitudinal chromoelectric field. It is demonstrated that the slab final
rapidities are rather sensitive to the strength and decay time of the
chromofield as well as to the back reaction of the produced partonic plasma.
The net-baryon rapidity loss of about 2 units, found for most central Au-Au
collisions at RHIC, can be explained by the action of chromofields with the
initial energy density of about 50 GeV/fm^3. Predictions for the baryon
stopping at the LHC are made.Comment: 10 pages in revtex, 3 eps figure
Efficiency of Grinding and Mechanical Activation of Solids in Planetary Ball Mills
We develop the algorithm of the procedure for determin-ing the efficiency of operation of planetary mills which is based on the analysis of the movement of the entire load(balls and material) in drums, with the calculation of energy and frequency characteristics of the interaction between milling bodies and material under treatment. We describe the procedure of determination of the efficient power input consumed for driving the ball load of a plane-tary mill and thus for performing the work of grinding and mechanical activation of the material, and some practical examples of industrial applications of planetary-type mills
Laser and Diffusion Driven Optimal Discrimination of Similar Quantum Systems in Resonator
A method for solving the problem of efficient population transfer from the
ground to some excited state by available technical means (varying resonator
length) is proposed. We consider a mixture of similar quantum systems
distributed in a stationary gas flow in the resonator with variable resonator
length, which implements tailored laser field close to the optimal one. In
difference from previous works, in this work piezoelectric transducer (PZT; or
actuator) is used as mean of control to manipulate variable resonator length.
The external actions are optimized to selectively prepare different stationary
states of different species which are then separated using their diffusion with
rates which differ due to different masses. This system provides an example of
the general problem of optimizing states of distributed systems with stationary
gas flow with diffusion.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur
Space storms as natural hazards
Eruptive activity of the Sun produces a chain of extreme geophysical events: high-speed solar wind, magnetic field disturbances in the interplanetary space and in the geomagnetic field and also intense fluxes of energetic particles. Space storms can potentially destroy spacecrafts, adversely affect astronauts and airline crew and human health on the Earth, lead to pipeline breaking, melt electricity transformers, and discontinue transmission. In this paper we deal with two consequences of space storms: (i) rise in failures in the operation of railway devices and (ii) rise in myocardial infarction and stroke incidences
trans-Dichloridotetrakis[1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-tetrazole-κN 4]cobalt(II)
The title cobalt(II) complex, [CoCl2(C3H6N4O)4], was obtained from metallic cobalt by direct synthesis. There are two Co atoms in the asymmetric unit, each lying on an inversion centre and adopting a distorted octahedral coordination. Classical and non-classical hydrogen bonds are responsible for formation of a three-dimensional polymeric network in the crystal
catena-Poly[cobalt(II)-di-μ-chlorido-κ4 Cl:Cl-μ-1,5-dimethyl-1H-tetrazole-κ2 N 3:N 4]: an X-ray powder investigation
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CoCl2(C3H6N4)]n, contains two Co atoms, both lying on inversion centres, two Cl atoms and one 1,5-dimethyltetrazole ligand. The coordination polyhedra of both Co atoms adopt flattened octahedral geometry, with two N atoms from two ligands in axial positions and four Cl atoms in equatorial sites. Neighbouring Co atoms are linked together via two bridging Cl atoms and one tetrazole ring to form polymeric chains running along the a axis
Mechanochemical Synthesis of Intermetallic Compounds in the System Gallium – Ruthenium
Received: 28.12.2020. Revised: 05.02.2021. Accepted: 05.02.2021. Available online: 08.02.2021.This article belongs to the PCEE-2020 Special Issue.The interaction of a solid inert metal Ru with liquid active metal Ga during mechanical activation in a high-energy planetary ball mill was studied using the X-ray diffraction and the high resolution scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray microanalyses. This paper considers mechanical activation effects on formation of intermetallic compounds GaxRuy and their solubility in concentrated acids. Gallium is a surface-active substance with respect to Ruthenium. Under intensive mechanical treatment, liquid Gallium penetrates into grain boundaries of polycrystalline Ruthenium particles and sharply reduces their strength. Because of severe mechanical deformation, an intensive increase of contact surface between solid and liquid metals observed, which a place of rapid formation of intermetallic compounds. This processing leads to high reactive products of mechanical activation of Ga + Ru. Their interaction with a mixed concentrated hydrochloric and nitric acid allows Ruthenium (~37%) to pass into an acidic solution, forming complex compounds of the HxRuCly type (H2RuCl6).The research was carried out within the state assignment to ISSCM SB RAS (project No. 0237-2021-0002)
catena-Poly[[bis[1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-tetrazole-κN 4]copper(II)]-di-μ-chlorido]: a powder study
The crystal structure of the title polymeric complex, [CuCl2(C3H6N4O)2]n, was obtained by the Rietveld refinement from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data collected at room temperature. The unique CuII ion lies on an inversion center and is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. In the hydroxyethyl group, all H atoms, the O atom and its attached C atom are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.6 and 0.4. The OH group is involved in an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond
