Stability and hyperfine structure of the four- and five-body muon-atomic clusters and
Based on the results of accurate variational calculations we demonstrate
stability of the five-body negatively charged ions . Each of these five-body ions contains two electrons , one
negatively charged muon and two nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes . The bound state properties of these five-body ions, including
their hyperfine structure, are briefly discussed. We also investigate the
hyperfine structure of the ground states of the four-body muonic quasi-atoms
. In particular, we determine the hyperfine
structure splittings for the ground state of the four-body muonic quasi-atoms:

Effect of pressure on the superconducting Tc of MgB2
Measurements of the superconducting transition temperature Tc have been
performed by the inductive method on MgB2 at pressures up to 28 GPa. Tc
decreases with applied pressure, exhibiting a cusp at about 9 GPa. We interpret
the appearance of this anomaly in the Tc(P) dependence as a result of the
pressure-induced electronic transition. Recent band-structure calculations for
MgB2 give some support for such an explanation.Comment: 11 pages, including 4 figure
The Growth of CdTe Layer on GaAs Substrate by MBE
We present the results of growth of CdTe layer on (013)GaAs substrate. The sequence processes include the preparation of GaAs surface by chemical etching and annealing in ultra-high vacuum, the growth of ZnTe layer on atomically clean GaAs surface and then the growth of CdTe layer on ZnTe/GaAs. All processes were carried out without removing GaAs substrate from MBE set. The processes were controlled by RHEED and single wavelength ellipsometry. We found that the evaporation of arsenic oxides and gallium oxides from the (001)GaAs surface were observed at over 400 and 500°C, respectively. The growth of CdTe on (001)GaAs leads to appearance of mixture orientations because of large mismatch of lattice parameters. We study the growth of ZnTe on (001)GaAs and (013)GaAs substrates to prevent the growth of mixture orientations. We study the influence of cadmium and tellurium ratio in molecular fluxes and temperature on the growth mechanism of ZnTe and CdTe, crystal perfection, surface roughness and defects density. The optimal condition for growth of high quality thick CdTe on GaAs substrate were found
Polarimetry of Saturnian satellite Enceladus
We present results of polarimetric observations of Saturn's moon Enceladus carried out from April 14, 2010 to April 13, 2013 in WR spectral band (550-750 nm). We used 2.6-m telescope equipped with a one-channel photoelectric photometer-polarimeter (Crimean Astrophysical Observatory). The measurements were performed at phase angles ranging from 1.65° to 5.71°. The phase-angle dependence of linear polarization of Enceladus was obtained using the results of our observations. Results obtained are discussed in terms of existing models of light scattering by regolith surfaces
Polarimetric observations of the Galilean satellites near opposition in 2011
We present results of the new polarimetric observations of the Galilean satellites Io, Ganymede, Europe, and Callisto carried out on October 21 - November 1, 2011. We used 1.25m telescope equipped with the UBVRI double image chopping photoelectric polarimeter, 2.6m Shain telescope equipped with a one-channel photoelectric photometer-polarimeter, 1m RCC telescope equipped with a one-channel photoelectric photometer-polarimeter (Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Ukraine), and 0.7m telescope equipped with a one-channel photoelectric photometer-polarimeter (Chuguev Observational Station of Astronomical Institute of Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine). The measurements were performed at phase angles ranging from 0.34° to 2.12°. Our new observations fully confirmed the presence of the polarization opposition effect for high-albedo satellites Io, Europa, and Ganymede at phase angles less than 2° . Within the accuracy of the measurements we did not detect the polarization opposition effect for moderate-albedo satellite Callisto

Nanotube-based source of charges for experiments with solid helium at low temperatures
Methods of preparation of the field-emission sources of charges from carbon nanotubes suitable for study of injected
charges in solid helium at low temperatures T < 1 K are presented. The sources have been prepared by arc
discharge deposition of nanotubes onto a flat copper substrate or by mechanical rubbing of nanotubes into porous
metal surface. The test study of the voltage-current characteristics of a diode cell with the nanotube source in superfluid
He II have shown that at voltages above 120 V one can observe a relatively large current I ≥ 10⁻¹³ A of negative
charges in liquid helium. The field and temperature dependences of positive and negative currents in solid ⁴He
were studied in samples grown by the blocked capillary technique. Usage of the nanotube based source of injected
charges had permitted us for the first time to observe motion of the positive charges in solid helium at temperatures
below 0.1 К. The current-voltage dependence could be described by a power law I ~ Uα, with the value of the exponent α >> 2, much higher than what one would expect for the regime of space charge limited currents

Single-photon emitters in GaSe
Single-photon sources are important building blocks for quantum information technology. Emitters based on solid-state systems provide a viable route to integration in photonic devices. Here, we report on single-photon emitters in the layered semiconductor GaSe. We identify the exciton and biexciton transition of the quantum emitters with power-dependent photoluminescence and photon statistics measurements. We find evidence that the localization of the excitons is related to deformations of the GaSe crystal, caused by nanoscale selenium inclusions, which are incorporated in the crystal. These deformations give rise to local strain fields, which induce confinement potentials for the excitons. This mechanism lights the way for the controlled positioning of single-photon emitters in GaSe on the nanoscale
