Magneto-gyrotropic effects in semiconductor quantum wells (review)
Magneto-gyrotropic photogalvanic effects in quantum wells are reviewed. We
discuss experimental data, results of phenomenological analysis and microscopic
models of these effects. The current flow is driven by spin-dependent
scattering in low-dimensional structures gyrotropic media resulted in asymmetry
of photoexcitation and relaxation processes. Several applications of the
effects are also considered.Comment: 28 pages, 13 figure
Gravitational Couplings of Intrinsic Spin
The gravitational couplings of intrinsic spin are briefly reviewed. A
consequence of the Dirac equation in the exterior gravitational field of a
rotating mass is considered in detail, namely, the difference in the energy of
a spin-1/2 particle polarized vertically up and down near the surface of a
rotating body is . Here is the latitude and
, where and are, respectively, the angular
momentum and radius of the body. It seems that this relativistic quantum
gravitational effect could be measurable in the foreseeable future.Comment: LaTeX file, no figures, 16 page
Geoantineutrino Spectrum, 3He/4He-ratio Distribution in the Earth's Interior and Slow Nuclear Burning on the Boundary of the Liquid and Solid Phases of the Earth's Core
The description problem of geoantineutrino spectrum and reactor antineutrino
experimental spectrum in KamLAND, which takes place for antineutrino energy
\~2.8 MeV, and also the experimental results of the interaction of uranium
dioxide and carbide with iron-nickel and silicaalumina melts at high pressure
(5-10 GP?) and temperature (1600-2200C) have motivated us to consider the
possible consequences of the assumption made by V.Anisichkin and coauthors that
there is an actinid shell on boundary of liquid and solid phases of the Earth's
core. We have shown that the activation of a natural nuclear reactor operating
as the solitary waves of nuclear burning in 238U- and/or 232Th-medium (in
particular, the neutron- fission progressive wave of Feoktistov and/or
Teller-Ishikawa-Wood) can be such a physical consequence. The simplified model
of the kinetics of accumulation and burnup in U-Pu fuel cycle of Feoktistov is
developed. The results of the numerical simulation of neutron-fission wave in
two-phase UO2/Fe medium on a surface of the Earth's solid core are presented.
The georeactor model of 3He origin and the 3He/4He-ratio distribution in the
Earth's interior is offered. It is shown that the 3He/4He ratio distribution
can be the natural quantitative criterion of georeactor thermal power. On the
basis of O'Nions-Evensen-Hamilton geochemical model of mantle differentiation
and the crust growth supplied by actinid shell on the boundary of liquid and
solid phases of the Earth's core as a nuclear energy source (georeactor with
power of 30 TW), the tentative estimation of geoantineutrino intensity and
geoantineutrino spectrum on the Earth surface are given.Comment: 28 pages, 12 figures. Added text, formulas, figures and references.

The Hamiltonian Structure of the Second Painleve Hierarchy
In this paper we study the Hamiltonian structure of the second Painleve
hierarchy, an infinite sequence of nonlinear ordinary differential equations
containing PII as its simplest equation. The n-th element of the hierarchy is a
non linear ODE of order 2n in the independent variable depending on n
parameters denoted by and . We introduce new
canonical coordinates and obtain Hamiltonians for the and
evolutions. We give explicit formulae for these Hamiltonians showing that they
are polynomials in our canonical coordinates

The influence of cathode excavation of cathodic arc evaporator on thickness uniformity and erosion products angle distribution
Cathodic arc evaporators are used for coating with functional films. Prolonged or buttend evaporators may be used for this purposes. In butt-end evaporator the cathode spots move continuously on the cathode work surface and evaporate cathode material. High depth excavation profile forms on the cathode work surface while the thick coating precipitation (tens or hundreds of microns). The cathode excavation profile is shaped like a “cup” with high walls for electrostatic discharge stabilization systems with axial magnetic fields. Cathode spots move on the bottom of the “cup”. It is very likely that high “cup” walls are formed as a result of lasting work time influence on the uniformity of precipitated films.In the present work the influence of excavation profile walls height on the uniformity of precipitated coating was carried out. The high profile walls are formed due to lasting work of DC vacuum arc evaporator. The cathode material used for tests was 3003 aluminum alloy. The extended substrate was placed parallel to the cathode work surface. Thickness distribution along the substrate length with the new cathode was obtained after 6 hours and after 12 hours of continuous operation.The thickness distribution of precipitated coating showed that the cathode excavation has an influence on the angular distribution of the matter escaping the cathode. It can be clearly seen from the normalized dependence coating thickness vs the distance from the substrate center. Also the angular distribution of the matter flow from the cathode depending on the cathode working time was obtained. It was shown that matter flow from the cathode differs from the LambertKnudsen law. The more the cathode excavation the more this difference.So, cathode excavation profile has an influence on the uniformity of precipitated coating and it is necessary to take in account the cathode excavation profile while coating the thick films.</p
