Experimental study of laboratory-heated CM2 chondrites Mighei and Murchison
We conducted experimental heating of two CM2 chondrites, Murchison and Mighei, to study changes in their oxygen isotopic compositions and mineralogy and explore possible genetic relationships between MCCs and normal CMs

Effect of quantum noise on Coulomb blockade in normal tunnel junctions at high voltages
We have investigated asymptotic behavior of normal tunnel junctions at
voltages where even the best ohmic environments start to look like RC
transmission lines. In the experiments, this is manifested by an exceedingly
slow approach to the linear behavior above the Coulomb gap. As expected on the
basis of the quantum theory taking into account interaction with the
environmental modes, better fits are obtained using 1/sqrt{V}- than 1/V-
dependence for the asymptote. These results agree with the horizon picture if
the frequency-dependent phase velocity is employed instead of the speed of
light in order to determine the extent of the surroundings seen by the
junction.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Coherent Charge Transport in Metallic Proximity Structures
We develop a detailed microscopic analysis of electron transport in normal
diffusive conductors in the presence of proximity induced superconducting
correlation. We calculated the linear conductance of the system, the profile of
the electric field and the densities of states. In the case of transparent
metallic boundaries the temperature dependent conductance has a non-monotoneous
``reentrant'' structure. We argue that this behavior is due to nonequilibrium
effects occuring in the normal metal in the presence of both superconducting
correlations and the electric field there. Low transparent tunnel barriers
suppress the nonequilibrium effects and destroy the reentrant behavior of the
conductance. If the wire contains a loop, the conductance shows Aharonov-Bohm
oscillations with the period as a function of the magnetic flux
inside the loop. The amplitude of these oscillations also demonstrates
the reentrant behavior vanishing at and decaying as at relatively
large temperatures. The latter behavior is due to low energy correlated
electrons which penetrate deep into the normal metal and ``feel'' the effect of
the magnetic flux . We point out that the density of states and thus the
``strengh'' of the proximity effect can be tuned by the value of the flux
inside the loop. Our results are fully consistent with recent experimental
findings.Comment: 16 pages RevTeX, 23 Postscript figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

Subjects from Group 1 (n = 15) received Clindovit® in the form of 1% gel, and subjects from Group 2 (n = 15) received
a combination of erythromycin and zinc in the form of lotion. The duration of treatment and participation in the study
was 8 weeks. Dynamics of clinical manifestations of the disease, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Psychological

Feigin-Frenkel center in types B, C and D
For each simple Lie algebra g consider the corresponding affine vertex
algebra V_{crit}(g) at the critical level. The center of this vertex algebra is
a commutative associative algebra whose structure was described by a remarkable
theorem of Feigin and Frenkel about two decades ago. However, only recently
simple formulas for the generators of the center were found for the Lie
algebras of type A following Talalaev's discovery of explicit higher Gaudin
Hamiltonians. We give explicit formulas for generators of the centers of the
affine vertex algebras V_{crit}(g) associated with the simple Lie algebras g of
types B, C and D. The construction relies on the Schur-Weyl duality involving
the Brauer algebra, and the generators are expressed as weighted traces over
tensor spaces and, equivalently, as traces over the spaces of singular vectors
for the action of the Lie algebra sl_2 in the context of Howe duality. This
leads to explicit constructions of commutative subalgebras of the universal
enveloping algebras U(g[t]) and U(g), and to higher order Hamiltonians in the
Gaudin model associated with each Lie algebra g. We also introduce analogues of
the Bethe subalgebras of the Yangians Y(g) and show that their graded images
coincide with the respective commutative subalgebras of U(g[t]).Comment: 29 pages, constructions of Pfaffian-type Sugawara operators and
commutative subalgebras in universal enveloping algebras are adde
Photoluminescent properties of oxidized stochiometric and carbon-rich amorphous Si₁₋xCx:H films
Near-stochiometric and carbon-rich a-Si₁₋xCx:H thin films were deposited using the magnetron sputtering of Si target in Ar/CH₄ gas mixture. As-deposited nearstochimetric (x = 0.5) sample showed weak blue photoluminescence (PL), while PL of as-deposited carbon-rich (x = 0.7) sample was 20 times stronger and white in color. The films were annealed in pure argon, wet argon, and dry oxygen at 450 °C for 30 min. The intensity of PL in a-Si₁₋xCx:H layers were enhanced by the factor from 2 to 12 after annealing in dependence on the annealing atmosphere. The strongest oxidation and strongest light emission were observed in carbon-rich series (x = 0.7) after annealing in oxidizing atmosphere. Structural properties of the films were characterized by infra-red absorption spectroscopy, ellipsometry and electron paramagnetic resonance. The effect of carbon enrichment of a-Si₁₋xCx:H films and annealing atmosphere on the evolution of photoluminescence and local interatomic bonding structure in annealed material were studied and analyzed. It has been found that main effects of thermal treatments is strong enhancement of photoluminescence accompanied by formation of Si:C–Hn and Si–OxCy bonding. The strongest oxidation effect as well as strongest hotoluminescence were observed in carbon-rich a-SiC:H films
Modeling of grain subdivision during severe plastic deformation by VPSC method combined with disclination analysis
Microstructure development during severe plastic deformation by simple shear is modeled using a combination of the visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) method and a disclination model. Strain incompatibilities between a homogeneous effective medium and a grain are calculated by VPSC. These are assumed to result in an accumulation of disclinations in the junctions of a grain that are relaxed by a growth of low-angle dislocation boundaries from the junctions. Predicted misorientation distributions between subgrains and their parent grains agree semi-quantitatively with experimental misorientation distributions for geometrically necessary boundaries. The texture after 100% simple shear was found to be insensitive to the presence of subgrains with misorientations less than 15º
Superconductive proximity effect in interacting disordered conductors
We present a general theory of the superconductive proximity effect in
disordered normal--superconducting (N-S) structures, based on the recently
developed Keldysh action approach. In the case of the absence of interaction in
the normal conductor we reproduce known results for the Andreev conductance G_A
at arbitrary relation between the interface resistance R_T and the diffusive
resistance R_D. In two-dimensional N-S systems, electron-electron interaction
in the Cooper channel of normal conductor is shown to strongly affect the value
of G_A as well as its dependence on temperature, voltage and magnetic field. In
particular, an unusual maximum of G_A as a function of temperature and/or
magnetic field is predicted for some range of parameters R_D and R_T. The
Keldysh action approach makes it possible to calculate the full statistics of
charge transfer in such structures. As an application of this method, we
calculate the noise power of an N-S contact as a function of voltage,
temperature, magnetic field and frequency for arbitrary Cooper repulsion in the
normal metal and arbitrary values of the ratio R_D/R_T.Comment: RevTeX, 28 pages, 18 PostScript figures; added and updated reference
