Influence of the particle shape on the equilibrium morphologies of supracolloidal magnetic filaments
We investigate the equilibrium morphologies of linear and ring-shaped
magnetic filaments made from crosslinked ferromagnetic spherical or ellipsoidal
colloidal particles. Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we calculate the
radius of gyration and total magnetic moment of a single filament at zero field
and different temperatures, analyzing the influence of the particles shape, the
strength of their magnetic moment and the filament length. Our results show
that, among such parameters, the shape of the particles has the strongest
qualitative impact on the equilibrium behavior of the filaments
Genre Originality of Travel Cycle in Modern Russian Poetry (“Indian cycle” by V. Polozkova)
The article is devoted to the study of genre features of the lyrical cycle of travel in modern poetry on the example of “Indian Cycle” (2008) by Vera Polozkova. The relevance of the study is due to the need to comprehend the lyrical cycle of travel as a synthetic genre form, in the structure of which various kinds of changes take place, first of all, genre features of the lyric cycle and travelogue are synthesized. The study of this genre form makes it possible not only to determine the originality of the author's creative manner and his place in the modern literary process, but also to trace the main trends in the development of the lyric cycle of travel in modern Russian poetry as a whole. The novelty of the research lies in the identification of genre, problem-thematic, compositional features of the “Indian Cycle”, which makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the expansion of the genre-typological features of the travel cycle due to additional lyrical motives (landscape, philosophical, love). It is established that the lyrical cycle of V. Polozkova’s travel is built along a real geographical route, the image of the country being visited becomes a plot-forming basis. In the course of the study, the peculiarities of the artistic perception of the geographical, cultural and historical space of the eastern country, national spirit and attributes are revealed. The features of the influence of the travel route on the inner world of the lyrical heroine are analyzed. Cultural codes and clichés associated with stereotypical perception of India are being rethought. The work proves that V. Polozkova's "Indian Cycle" clearly demonstrates the trend of genre synthesis emerging in contemporary poetry
Ballad in Modern Russian Poetry: Ways and Nature of Genre Form Transformation
The article analyzes the features of transformation of ballad genre form in modern Russian poetry. Relying on theoretical propositions about the specifics of the genre, developed in the works of Yu. N. Tynianov and M. M. Bakhtin, the nature of changes in the features of the genre of ballad are explored in the creative practice of poets of the turn of 20th-21st centuries. The study found that the genre “image” of ballad is directly related to the feature of the modern poetic process, in which there are “traditional” and “avant-garde” paradigms. It is noted that in the works of poets-traditionalists (E. Rein, O. Khlebnikov, O. Nikolaeva, S. Kekova, D. Bykov, etc.) is dominated by a variant of the lyrical ballad, which has a philosophical, elegiac nature, and a special drama and tension are associated here with nostalgic sadness about the past, the loss of ties to the past, discomfort in the present. It is shown that the works of avant-garde poets (T. Kibirov, E. Schvarts, F. Svarovsky, A. Rovinsky, D. Vodennikov etc.) often decanonize genre characteristics of romantic ballads. It is emphasized that through the genre synthesis of ballad, lyrical cycle, parable, and fable the avant-garde poets demonstrate the instability of the era of the late 20th century, the confusion of a man caught in the maelstrom of socio-political events. Analyzing the work of poets, the authors prove that, unlike the poets-traditionalists, the representatives of the avant-garde trend abandon traditional lyricism and actively use all the variety of postmodern techniques
Planet Consumption and Stellar Metallicity Enhancements
The evolution of a giant planet within the stellar envelope of a
main-sequence star is investigated as a possible mechanism for enhancing the
stellar metallicities of the parent stars of extrasolar planetary systems.
Three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of a planet subject to impacting
stellar matter indicate that the envelope of a Jupiter-like giant planet can be
completely stripped in the outer stellar convection zone of a solar-mass star.
In contrast, Jupiter-like and less massive Saturn-like giant planets are able
to survive through the base of the convection zone of a 1.22 solar-mass star.
Although strongly dependent on details of planetary interior models, partial or
total dissolution of giant planets can result in significant enhancements in
the metallicity of host stars with masses between about 1.0 and 1.3 solar
masses. The implications of these results with regard to planetary orbital
migration are briefly discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, accepted for ApJ Letter
The anatomical structure of leaf blade of the Siberian feather grasses (Poaceae: Stipa)
Results of studies of the anatomical structure of leaf blade of Siberian feather grasses are presented. A cross sections of leave blades were studied in 15 species: S. capillata, S. grandis, S. krylovii, S. baicalensis, S. praecapillata, S. consanguinea, S. orientalis, S. lessingiana, S. kirghisorum, S. dasyphylla, S. pennata, S. pulcherrima, S. zalesskii, S. glareosa, S. klemenzii. The following diagnostic characters were identified: relative height and degree of expressiveness of edges, quantity and type of veins, extent of development and arrangement of sclerenchyma as well as number and type of trichomes on the adaxial surface of leaves. Despite the uniformity of these features in many species within sections, they exhibit distinctive morphological patterns and have been proved to be taxonomically

У исследованных видов были выявлены следующие диагностические признаки: относительная высота и степень выраженности ребер, их форма, количество и тип жилок, степень развития и расположение склеренхимы, количество и тип трихом на адаксиальной поверхности листьев. Несмотря на однородность этих признаков у многих видов в пределах секции, на секционном уровне они проявляют отличительные морфологические закономерности и имеют высокую таксономическую значимость
Sub-lattice of Jahn-Teller centers in hexaferrite crystal
A novel type of sub-lattice of the Jahn-Teller (JT) centers was arranged in Ti-doped barium hexaferrite BaFe12O19. In the un-doped crystal all iron ions, sitting in five different crystallographic positions, are Fe3+ in the high-spin configuration (S = 5/2) and have a non-degenerate ground state. We show that the electron-donor Ti substitution converts the ions to Fe2+ predominantly in tetrahedral coordination, resulting in doubly-degenerate states subject to the E⊗ e problem of the JT effect. The arranged JT complexes, Fe2+O4, their adiabatic potential energy, non-linear and quantum dynamics, have been studied by means of ultrasound and terahertz-infrared spectroscopies. The JT complexes are sensitive to external stress and applied magnetic field. For that reason, the properties of the doped crystal can be controlled by the amount and state of the JT complexes. © 2020, The Author(s).Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, DAADRussian Foundation for Basic Research, RFBR: 18–02–00332 aDeutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, DAAD: 91728513Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Minobrnauka: 19–53–0401019–72–00055Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, MinobrnaukaThe authors acknowledge fruitful discussions with A.S.

Extremely polysubstituted magnetic material based on magnetoplumbite with a hexagonal structure: Synthesis, structure, properties, prospects
Crystalline high-entropy single-phase products with a magnetoplumbite structure with grains in the µm range were obtained using solid-state sintering. The synthesis temperature was up to 1400 °C. The morphology, chemical composition, crystal structure, magnetic, and electrodynamic properties were studied and compared with pure barium hexaferrite BaFe 12 O 19 matrix. The polysubstituted high-entropy single-phase product contains five doping elements at a high concentration level. According to the EDX data, the new compound has a formula of Ba(Fe6Ga1.25In1.17Ti1.21Cr1.22Co1.15)O19. The calculated cell parameter values were a = 5.9253(5) Å, c = 23.5257(22) Å, and V = 715.32(9) Å3. The increase in the unit cell for the substituted sample was expected due to the different ionic radius of Ti/In/Ga/Cr/Co compared with Fe3+. The electrodynamicmeasurements were performed. The dielectric and magnetic permeabilities were stable in the frequency range from 2 to 12 GHz. In this frequency range, the dielectric and magnetic losses were??0.2/0.2. Due to these electrodynamic parameters, this material can be used in the design of microwave strip devices. © 2019 by the authors.

INVESTIGATIONS OF DESIGNED SUPRAMOLECULAR MAGNETIC FILAMENTS OF DIFFERENT TOPOLOGY
This work presents an investigation of magnetic filaments with different topologies made out of ferromagnetic spherical and ellipsoidal nanoparticles - simple open chains and closed rings which are the ground states of dipolar hard particles. It was shown that shape of particles, the size of their magnetic moment, temperature and filament’s length can significantly change conformation and properties of a single filament
Surface waves and crustal structure on Mars
We detected surface waves from two meteorite impacts on Mars. By measuring group velocity dispersion along the impact-lander path, we obtained a direct constraint on crustal structure away from the InSight lander. The crust north of the equatorial dichotomy had a shear wave velocity of approximately 3.2 kilometers per second in the 5- to 30-kilometer depth range, with little depth variation. This implies a higher crustal density than inferred beneath the lander, suggesting either compositional differences or reduced porosity in the volcanic areas traversed by the surface waves. The lower velocities and the crustal layering observed beneath the landing site down to a 10-kilometer depth are not a global feature. Structural variations revealed by surface waves hold implications for models of the formation and thickness of the martian crust.D.K., S.C., D.G., J.C., C.D., A.

Seismic detection of the martian core
Clues to a planet's geologic history are contained in its interior structure, particularly its core. We detected reflections of seismic waves from the core-mantle boundary of Mars using InSight seismic data and inverted these together with geodetic data to constrain the radius of the liquid metal core to 1830 +/- 40 kilometers. The large core implies a martian mantle mineralogically similar to the terrestrial upper mantle and transition zone but differing from Earth by not having a bridgmanite-dominated lower mantle. We inferred a mean core density of 5.7 to 6.3 grams per cubic centimeter, which requires a substantial complement of light elements dissolved in the iron-nickel core. The seismic core shadow as seen from InSight's location covers half the surface of Mars, including the majority of potentially active regions-e.g., Tharsis-possibly limiting the number of detectable marsquakes.This is InSight contribution 200.
