    Social function of taxes as a toolkit for income differentiation reduction among population of the depressed republics of the North Caucasus Federal District

    Get PDF
    In the conditions of a difficult political situation, economic uncertainty and increasing unemployment in the land-poor manpower-surplus, depressive republics of the North Caucasus Federal District, the need to implement the entrepreneurial opportunities of the population is clearly manifested. It seems that small business can manifest itself in these conditions as a separate element of the economy decentralized sector. Of course, the success of small business in a depressed region depends on the state position to a large extent. And this is natural, because only the state is capable of creating the necessary conditions in market relations and various preference provision for the development of entrepreneurship, especially in the mountainous territories of the country.It should be noted that the next economic crisis and pandemic (coronavirus) not only led to the depletion of the state budget, but also collapsed the production activity of small diversified enterprises in the region. Most of the entrepreneurs of the North Caucasus Federal District declare that they are not able to independently solve the complex of this phenomenon negative consequences

    Detailed study of the ac susceptibility of Sr2RuO4 in oriented magnetic fields

    Get PDF
    We have investigated the ac susceptibility of the spin triplet superconductor Sr2_2RuO4_4 as a function of magnetic field in various directions at temperatures down to 60 mK. We have focused on the in-plane field configuration (polar angle θ90\theta \simeq 90^{\circ}), which is a prerequisite for inducing multiple superconducting phases in Sr2_2RuO4_4. We have found that the previous attribution of a pronounced feature in the ac susceptibility to the second superconducting transition itself is not in accord with recent measurements of the thermal conductivity or of the specific heat. We propose that the pronounced feature is a consequence of additional involvement of vortex pinning originating from the second superconducting transition.Comment: Accepted for publication in Phys.

    Quasi-particle Density in Sr2RuO4 Probed by means of the Phonon Thermal Conductivity

    Full text link
    The thermal conductivity of Sr2RuO4 along the least conducting direction perpendicular to the RuO2 plane has been studied down to 0.3 K. In this configuration the phonons remain the dominant heat carriers down to the lowest temperature, and their conductivity in the normal state is determined by the scattering on conduction electrons. We show that the phonon mean free path in the superconducting state is sensitive to the density of the quasi-particles in the bulk. An unusual magnetic field dependence of the phonon thermal conductivity is ascribed to the anisotropic superconducting gap structure in Sr2RuO4.Comment: 14 pages, 6 eps figures, Latex.

    Superconducting Properties under Magnetic Field in Na0.35_{0.35}CoO21.3_{2}{\cdot}1.3H2_{2}O Single Crystal

    Full text link
    We report the in-plane resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of the layered cobalt oxide Na0.35_{0.35}CoO21.3_{2}{\cdot}1.3H2_{2}O single crystal. The temperature dependence of the resistivity shows metallic behavior from room temperature to the superconducting transition temperature TcT_{c} of 4.5 K. Sharp resistive transition, zero resistivity and almost perfect superconducting volume fraction below TcT_{c} indicate the good quality and the bulk superconductivity of the single crystal. The upper critical field Hc2H_{c2} and the coherence length ξ\xi are obtained from the resistive transitions in magnetic field parallel to the c-axis and the abab-plane. The anisotropy of ξ\xi, ξab/ξc=\xi_{ab} / \xi_{c} = 12 nm/1.3 nm \simeq 9.2, suggests that this material is considered to be an anisotropic three dimensional superconductor. In the field parallel to the abab-plane, Hc2H_{c2} seems to be suppressed to the value of Pauli paramagnetic limit. It may indicate the spin singlet superconductivity in the cobalt oxide.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Interface superconductivity in the eutectic Sr2RuO4-Ru: 3-K phase of Sr2RuO4

    Get PDF
    The eutectic system Sr2RuO4-Ru is referred to as the 3-K phase of the spin-triplet supeconductor Sr2RuO4 because of its enhanced superconducting transition temperature Tc of ~3 K. We have investigated the field-temperature (H-T) phase diagram of the 3-K phase for fields parallel and perpendicular to the ab-plane of Sr2RuO4, using out-of-plane resistivity measurements. We have found an upturn curvature in the Hc2(T) curve for H // c, and a rather gradual temperature dependence of Hc2 close to Tc for both H // ab and H // c. We have also investigated the dependence of Hc2 on the angle between the field and the ab-plane at several temperatures. Fitting the Ginzburg-Landau effective-mass model apparently fails to reproduce the angle dependence, particularly near H // c and at low temperatures. We propose that all of these charecteric features can be explained, at least in a qualitative fashion, on the basis of a theory by Sigrist and Monien that assumes surface superconductivity with a two-component order parameter occurring at the interface between Sr2RuO4 and Ru inclusions. This provides evidence of the chiral state postulated for the 1.5-K phase by several experiments.Comment: 7 pages and 5 figs; accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

    Vortex lattice structures and pairing symmetry in Sr2RuO4

    Full text link
    Recent experimental results indicate that superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is described by the p-wave E_u representation of the D_{4h} point group. Results on the vortex lattice structures for this representation are presented. The theoretical results are compared with experiment.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, M2S-HTSC-VI proceeding

    Spin-triplet superconductivity due to antiferromagnetic spin-fluctuation in Sr_2RuO_4

    Full text link
    A mechanism leading to the spin-triplet superconductivity is proposed based on the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation. The effects of anisotropy in spin fluctuation on the Cooper pairing and on the direction of d vector are examined in the one-band Hubbard model with RPA approximation. The gap equations for the anisotropic case are derived and applied to Sr_2RuO_4. It is found that a nesting property of the Fermi surface together with the anisotropy leads to the triplet superconductivity with the d=z(sin{k_x}\pm isin{k_y}), which is consistent with experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 3 eps figures, revte

    Gravitational Instabilities, Chondrule Formation, and the FU Orionis Phenomenon

    Full text link
    Using analytic arguments and numerical simulations, we examine whether chondrule formation and the FU Orionis phenomenon can be caused by the burst-like onset of gravitational instabilities (GIs) in dead zones. At least two scenarios for bursting dead zones can work, in principle. If the disk is on the verge of fragmention, GI activation near r4r\sim4 to 5 AU can produce chondrule-forming shocks, at least under extreme conditions. Mass fluxes are also high enough during the onset of GIs to suggest that the outburst is related to an FU Orionis phenomenon. This situation is demonstrated by numerical simulations. In contrast, as supported by analytic arguments, if the burst takes place close to r1r\sim1 AU, then even low pitch angle spiral waves can create chondrule-producing shocks and outbursts. We also study the stability of the massive disks in our simulations against fragmentation and find that although disk evolution is sensitive to changes in opacity, the disks we study do not fragment, even at high resolution and even for extreme assumptions.Comment: To appear in Ap
