Steady and Unsteady Current Modes and Thermal Runaway Conditions of High-Tc Composite Superconductors
Sub- and overcritical stable states of composite high-Tc superconductors with different E(J) dependences and their unavoidable overheating
OPO-laser system for atmospheric sounding in the MID-IR range
A laser system is designed that provides for tunable generation of nanosecond radiation pulses in the 3–4 μm range. Optical block-diagram and specifications of the system are presented. The laser system as a part of a differential absorption lidar designed can be used for remote control of pollutant concentrations along surface atmospheric path

Electron correlation effects in electron-hole recombination in organic light-emitting diodes
We develop a general theory of electron--hole recombination in organic light
emitting diodes that leads to formation of emissive singlet excitons and
nonemissive triplet excitons. We briefly review other existing theories and
show how our approach is substantively different from these theories. Using an
exact time-dependent approach to the interchain/intermolecular charge-transfer
within a long-range interacting model we find that, (i) the relative yield of
the singlet exciton in polymers is considerably larger than the 25% predicted
from statistical considerations, (ii) the singlet exciton yield increases with
chain length in oligomers, and, (iii) in small molecules containing nitrogen
heteroatoms, the relative yield of the singlet exciton is considerably smaller
and may be even close to 25%. The above results are independent of whether or
not the bond-charge repulsion, X_perp, is included in the interchain part of
the Hamiltonian for the two-chain system. The larger (smaller) yield of the
singlet (triplet) exciton in carbon-based long-chain polymers is a consequence
of both its ionic (covalent) nature and smaller (larger) binding energy. In
nitrogen containing monomers, wavefunctions are closer to the noninteracting
limit, and this decreases (increases) the relative yield of the singlet
(triplet) exciton. Our results are in qualitative agreement with
electroluminescence experiments involving both molecular and polymeric light
emitters. The time-dependent approach developed here for describing
intermolecular charge-transfer processes is completely general and may be
applied to many other such processes.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figure
Sea-level evolution of the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea since the last glacial maximum
Freshwater Seepage Into Sediments of the Shelf, Shelf Edge, and Continental Slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea
Long‐term warming of the continental shelf of the Canadian Beaufort Sea caused by the transgression associated with the last deglaciation may be causing decomposition of relict offshore subsea permafrost and gas hydrates. To evaluate this possibility, pore waters from 118 sediment cores up to 7.3‐m long were taken on the shelf and slope and analyzed for chloride concentrations and δ180 and δD composition. We observed downcore decreases in pore waters Cl− concentration in sediments from all sites from the inner shelf (<20‐m water depth), from the shelf edge, from the outer slope (down to 1,000‐m water depths), and from localized shelf features such as midshelf pingo‐like features and inner shelf pockmarks. In contrast, pore water freshening is absent from all investigated cores of the Mackenzie Trough. Downcore pore waters Cl− concentration decreases indicate regional widespread freshwater seepage. Extrapolations to zero Cl− of pore water Cl− versus δ180 regression lines indicate that freshwaters in these environments carry different isotope signatures and thus are sourced from different reservoirs. These isotopic signatures indicate that freshening of shelf sediments pore waters is a result of downward infiltration of Mackenzie River water, freshening of shelf edge sediments is due to relict submarine permafrost degradation or gas hydrate decomposition under the shelf, and freshening of slope sediments is consistent with regional groundwater flow and submarine groundwater discharge as far as 150 km from shore. These results confirm ongoing decomposition of offshore permafrost and suggest extensive current groundwater discharge far from the coast
