Log-log growth of channel capacity for nondispersive nonlinear optical fiber channel in intermediate power range
We consider a model nondispersive nonlinear optical fiber channel with an additive Gaussian noise. Using Feynman path-integral technique, we find the optimal input signal distribution maximizing the channel's per-sample mutual information at large signal-to-noise ratio in the intermediate power range. The optimal input signal distribution allows us to improve previously known estimates for the channel capacity. We calculate the output signal entropy, conditional entropy, and per-sample mutual information for Gaussian, half-Gaussian, and modified Gaussian input signal distributions. We demonstrate that in the intermediate power range the capacity (the per-sample mutual information for the optimal input signal distribution) is greater than the per-sample mutual information for half-Gaussian input signal distribution considered previously as the optimal one. We also show that the capacity grows as loglogP in the intermediate power range, where P is the signal power
Low-temperature heat capacity of fullerite C₆₀ doped with nitrogen
The heat capacity Cm of polycrystalline fullerite C₆₀ doped with nitrogen has been measured in
the temperature interval 2–13 K. The contributions to the heat capacity from translational lattice
vibrations (Debye contribution), orientational vibrations of the C₆₀ molecules (Einstein contribution),
and from the motion of the N₂ molecules in the octahedral cavities of the C₆₀ lattice have
been estimated. However, we could not find (beyond the experimental error limits) any indications
of the first-order phase transformation that had been detected earlier in the dilatometric investigation
of the orientational N₂–C₆₀ glass. A possible explanation of this fact is proposed
Point-contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy of a magnetic superconductor Dy₀.₆Y₀.₄Rh₃.₈₅Ru₀.₁₅B₄
The Andreev reflection spectra dI/dV(V) of the magnetic superconductor Dy₀.6Y₀.₄Rh₃.₈₅Ru₀.₁₅B₄ have been
investigated. Pronounced stimulation of superconductivity by an external magnetic field has been observed for
the first time. The effect showed up as enhancement of the gap structure (and hence the gap itself) in the spectra
and its shift towards higher voltages with an increasing field. In the intermediate fields the structure also behaved
strangely: instead of the usual smooth decrease with a grooving field, the gap features dropped abruptly near the
critical point Hc₂. Of interest is also the abnormally high relative gap value 2∆/kBTc ≈ 4 (as compared to conventional
singlet superconductors) which was found for some contacts from a comparison of experimental spectra
and the modified Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwiyk theory. We attribute the features revealed in the point-contact
spectroscopic investigations of Dy₀.6Y₀.₄Rh₃.₈₅Ru₀.₁₅B₄ in a magnetic field to the triplet-type Cooper pairing in
the compound because only in this case one can expect the stimulation of superconductivity in the stationary
magnetic fields up to ~ 0.7Hc₂.The Andreev reflection spectra dI/dV(V) of the magnetic superconductor Dy₀.₆Y₀.₄Rh₃.₈₅Ru₀.₁₅B₄ have been

Investigation of energy and mass balance “Trimyx-3M” Galatea multipole magnetic trap
In the work using Rogowski loop, measurements of the diamagnetic current, generating in the plasma volume of the
“Trimyx-3M” Galatea multipole magnetic trap under its filling by plasmoids have been carried out. These
measurements are confirmed by signals from diamagnetic probes. The mean value of the energy in plasma volume in
the process of the trap filling by plasma and during plasma decay have been determined by the magnitude of
diamagnetic current. These measurements are carried out simultaneously with the measurement of the time dependence
of mean plasma density by microwave interferometer.За допомогою поясу Роговського здійснено виміри діамагнітного струму, що виникає в плазмовому об’ємі мультипольної магнітної пастки-Галатеї "Трімікс-3М" при наповненні її плазмовими згустками. Ці виміри підтверджені сигналами з діамагнітних зондів. За величиною діамагнітного струму визначалася величина енергії в плазмовому об’ємі і її зміна в процесі заповнення пастки плазмою і її розпаду. Виміри проведено одночасно з вимірами за допомогою СВЧ-інтерферометра часової залежності середньої концентрації плазми.С помощью пояса Роговского произведены измерения диамагнитного тока, возникающего в плазменном объеме мультипольной магнитной ловушки-Галатеи «Тримикс-3М» при наполнении ее плазменными сгустками.

United classification of cosmic gamma-ray bursts and their counterparts
United classification of gamma-ray bursts and their counterparts is
established on the basis of measured characteristics: photon energy E and
emission duration T. The founded interrelation between the mentioned
characteristics of events consists in that, as the energy increases, the
duration decreases (and vice versa). The given interrelation reflects the
nature of the phenomenon and forms the E-T diagram, which represents a natural
classification of all observed events in the energy range from 10E9 to 10E-6 eV
and in the corresponding interval of durations from about 10E-2 up to 10E8 s.
The proposed classification results in the consequences, which are principal
for the theory and practical study of the phenomenon.Comment: Keywords Gamma rays: burst
