Impact of the transport supercurrent on the Josephson effect
We study the weak link between current-carrying superconductors, both
conventional and d-wave. The state of the system is controlled by two
parameters: the order parameter phase difference and the superfluid
velocity , which parameterizes the parallel to the boundary transport
supercurrent which is injected externally. The low-temperature current-phase
relations are derived. We consider two models of weak links: a constriction
between two conventional superconductors and a plane boundary between two
differently orientated d-wave superconductors. We show that for some relation
between and quasiparticles create the current along the
boundary which flows in the direction opposite to the transport supercurrent.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; submitted for publication in Proceedings of

Ідентичність людини в сучасних умовах: роздуми над ціннісними пріоритетами екзистенціальної теології Дж. Маккуорі. (Identity of man in modern terms: reflections on the value priorities of existential theology of J. MacQuarrie.)
У статті розкривається проблема інтерпретації Дж. Маккуоррі ціннісних підвалин християнства відповідно до вимог сучасної реальності. Аналізується питання подолання кризи релігійної ідентичності людини, якому присвячена
праця філософа “Принципи християнської теології”. Досліджується специфіка синтезу екзистенціалізму та теології.
(The article deals with the problem of interpretation J. MacQuarrie value foundations of Christianity, according to
today’s reality. Examines the question of overcoming the crisis of religious identity of the person is devoted to the philosopher,
“Principles of Christian Theology”. We investigate the specificity of the synthesis of existentialism and theology.
Relaxation of superflow in a network: an application to the dislocation model of supersolidity of helium crystals
We have considered the dislocation network model for the supersolid state in
He-4 crystals. In difference with uniform 2D and 3D systems, the temperature of
superfluid transition T_c in the network is much smaller than the degeneracy
temperature T_d. It is shown that a crossover into a quasi superfluid state
occurs in the temperature interval between T_c and T_d. Below the crossover
temperature the time of decay of the flow increases exponentially under
decrease of the temperature. The crossover has a continuous character and the
crossover temperature does not depend on the density of dislocations.Comment: Corrected typo
UBVR observation of V1357 Cyg = Cyg X-1. Search of the optical radiation of the accretion disk
Data from 30 nights of V 1357 Cyg observations in July, August, and September of 1977 are presented. The contribution of the disk to the optic brightness of the system is computed with regard for the heating of its surface by ultraviolet radiation from V 1357 Cyg and X-ray radiation from Cyg X-1. The disk radiation explains the irregular variability in the system brightness. The possibility of the eclipse of the star by the disk and the disk by the star is discussed
Charge ordering and interlayer phase coherence in quantum Hall superlattices
The possibility of the existence of states with a spontaneous interlayer
phase coherence in multilayer electron systems in a high perpendicular to the
layers magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that phase coherence can be
established in such systems only within individual pairs of adjacent layers,
while such coherence does not exist between layers of different pairs. The
conditions for stability of the state with interlayer phase coherence against
transition to a charge-ordered state are determined. It is shown that in the
system with the number of layers N\leq 10 these conditions are satisfied at any
value of the interlayer distance d. For N>10 there are two intervals of
stability: at sufficiently large and at sufficiently small d. For N\to \infty
the stability interval in the region of small d vanishesComment: 10 page
Quenched Dislocation Enhanced Supersolid Ordering
I show using Landau theory that quenched dislocations can facilitate the
supersolid (SS) to normal solid (NS) transition, making it possible for the
transition to occur even if it does not in a dislocation-free crystal. I make
detailed predictions for the dependence of the SS to NS transition temperature
T_c(L), superfluid density %\rho_S(T, L), and specific heat C(T,L) on
temperature T and dislocation spacing L, all of which can be tested against
experiments. The results should also be applicable to an enormous variety of
other systems, including, e.g., ferromagnets.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
