Витискування елементів проникнення в перехідній зоні під дифузійними шарами, що зростають
The kinetics of diffusion of interstitial elements on the example of diffusion saturation with boron and silicon iron- carbon matrix (- iron) was considered . The layers of intermetallic Fe - B - Si are formed and grow in diffusion saturation , and carbon is pushed deep into the matrix. Linear , parabolic and logarithmic laws of motion of the interface boundary between the intermetallic layers and steel matrix was considered and solved the problem of the diffusion redistribution of carbon in the transition zone. Found that in all these cases is due to pushing of carbon its concentration are increased at the interphase boundary . In case: a) the linear moving of the interphase boundary carbon concentration at the interphase boundary is proportional to the thickness of protective coatings; b) the parabolic moving of the interphase boundary carbon concentration at the boundary remains constant; c) the logarithmic moving of the interphase boundary carbon concentration at the interphase boundary decreases with time.
Розглянута кінетика дифузії элементів проникнення на приикладі дифузійного насичення бором та сіліцієм залізо-вуглецевої матриці ( -залізо). В процесі дифузійного насичення утворюються і ростуть шари інтерметалідів системи Fe-B-Si, а вуглець витискується углиб матриці. Розглянуті лінійний, параболічний та логарифмічний закони руху міжфазної границі між шарами інтерметалідів і сталевою матрицею та розв'язані задачі про дифузійний перерозподіл вуглецю в переходній зоні. Встановлено, що в усіх розглянутих випадках внаслідок виштовхування вуглецю відбувається підвищення його концентрації на рухомій міжфазній границі. У випадку: а)лінійного закону руху концентрація вуглецю на міжфазній границі зростає пропорційно товщині нанесеного захисного покриття; б) параболічного закону руху концентрація вуглецю на границі залишається сталою; в) логарифмічного закону руху концентрація вуглецю на міжфазній зменшується з часом
A thick shell Casimir effect
We consider the Casimir energy of a thick dielectric-diamagnetic shell under
a uniform velocity light condition, as a function of the radii and the
permeabilities. We show that there is a range of parameters in which the stress
on the outer shell is inward, and a range where the stress on the outer shell
is outward. We examine the possibility of obtaining an energetically stable
configuration of a thick shell made of a material with a fixed volume
Finite-element simulation of multiaxial compaction of sponge titanium powder
In this study, based on numerical simulation of multiaxial compaction process, an attempt is made to establish a consistent relation of material porosity to shearing and normal stresses under various stress state conditions. The finite element model of the multiaxial compression process has made it possible to apply both radial and axial pressures independently of one another. Powdered titanium sponge is modeled using the modified Drucker-Prager Cap plasticity model. A mathematical model of porosity alteration depending on the range of the equivalent pressure stress and the von Mises equivalent stress has been obtained. A comparison between finite-element simulation and experimental research on the die compaction of titanium sponge has been made. © 2016 Author(s)
LC nanocomposites: induced optical singularities, managed nano/micro structure, and electrical conductivity
Microstructure, phase transitions, electrical conductivity, and optical and
electrooptical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NTs), dispersed in
the cholesteric liquid crystal (cholesteryl oleyl carbonate, COC), nematic 5CB
and their mixtures, were studied in the temperature range between 255 K and 363
K. The relative concentration X=COC/(COC+5CB)was varied within 0.0-1.0. The
concentration of NTs was varied within 0.01-5% wt. The value of X
affected agglomeration and stability of NTs inside COC+5CB. High-quality
dispersion, exfoliation, and stabilization of the NTs were observed in COC
solvent ("good" solvent). From the other side, the aggregation of NTs was very
pronounced in nematic 5CB solvent ("bad" solvent). The dispersing quality of
solvent influenced the percolation concentration , corresponding to
transition between the low conductive and high conductive states: e.g.,
percolation was observed at and for pure COC and 5CB,
respectively. The effects of thermal pre-history on the heating-cooling
hysteretic behavior of electrical conductivity were studied. The mechanism of
dispersion of NTs in COC+5CB mixtures is discussed. Utilization of the mixtures
of "good" and "bad" solvents allowed fine regulation of the dispersion,
stability and electrical conductivity of LC+NTs composites. The mixtures of COC
and 5CB were found to be promising for application as functional media with
controllable useful chiral and electrophysical properties.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure
Extended analytic QCD model with perturbative QCD behavior at high momenta
In contrast to perturbative QCD, the analytic QCD models have running
coupling whose analytic properties correctly mirror those of spacelike
observables. The discontinuity (spectral) function of such running coupling is
expected to agree with the perturbative case at large timelike momenta;
however, at low timelike momenta it is not known. In the latter regime, we
parametrize the unknown behavior of the spectral function as a sum of (two)
delta functions; while the onset of the perturbative behavior of the spectral
function is set to be 1.0-1.5 GeV. This is in close analogy with the "minimal
hadronic ansatz" used in the literature for modeling spectral functions of
correlators. For the running coupling itself, we impose the condition that it
basically merges with the perturbative coupling at high spacelike momenta. In
addition, we require that the well-measured nonstrange semihadronic (V+A) tau
decay ratio value be reproduced by the model. We thus obtain a QCD framework
which is basically indistinguishable from perturbative QCD at high momenta (Q >
1 GeV), and at low momenta it respects the basic analyticity properties of
spacelike observables as dictated by the general principles of the local
quantum field theories.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures; in v2 Sec.IV is extended after Eq.(48) and

Analytic Invariant Charge in QCD
This paper gives an overview of recently developed model for the QCD analytic
invariant charge. Its underlying idea is to bring the analyticity condition,
which follows from the general principles of local Quantum Field Theory, in
perturbative approach to renormalization group (RG) method. The concrete
realization of the latter consists in explicit imposition of analyticity
requirement on the perturbative expansion of function for the strong
running coupling, with subsequent solution of the corresponding RG equation. In
turn, this allows one to avoid the known difficulties originated in
perturbative approximation of the RG functions. Ultimately, the proposed
approach results in qualitatively new properties of the QCD invariant charge.
The latter enables one to describe a wide range of the strong interaction
processes both of perturbative and intrinsically nonperturbative nature.Comment: Invited review article; 46 pages, 14 EPS figure
Two-Photon Excitation of Low-Lying Electronic Quadrupole States in Atomic Clusters
A simple scheme of population and detection of low-lying electronic
quadrupole modes in free small deformed metal clusters is proposed. The scheme
is analyzed in terms of the TDLDA (time-dependent local density approximation)
calculations. As test case, the deformed cluster is considered.
Long-living quadrupole oscillations are generated via resonant two-photon
(two-dipole) excitation and then detected through the appearance of satellites
in the photoelectron spectra generated by a probe pulse. Femtosecond pump and
probe pulses with intensities and
pulse duration fs are found to be optimal. The modes of
interest are dominated by a single electron-hole pair and so their energies,
being combined with the photoelectron data for hole states, allow to gather new
information about mean-field spectra of valence electrons in the HOMO-LUMO
region. Besides, the scheme allows to estimate the lifetime of electron-hole
pairs and hence the relaxation time of electronic energy into ionic heat.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
STIRAP transport of Bose-Einstein condensate in triple-well trap
The irreversible transport of multi-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
is investigated within the Stimulated Adiabatic Raman Passage (STIRAP) scheme.
A general formalism for a single BEC in M-well trap is derived and analogy
between multi-photon and tunneling processes is demonstrated. STIRAP transport
of BEC in a cyclic triple-well trap is explored for various values of detuning
and interaction between BEC atoms. It is shown that STIRAP provides a complete
population transfer at zero detuning and interaction and persists at their
modest values. The detuning is found not to be obligatory. The possibility of
non-adiabatic transport with intuitive order of couplings is demonstrated.
Evolution of the condensate phases and generation of dynamical and geometric
phases are inspected. It is shown that STIRAP allows to generate the
unconventional geometrical phase which is now of a keen interest in quantum
computing.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures. To be published in Laser Physics (v. 19, n.4,
