The critical points of alloys of iron and cobalt during rapid heating

The influence of the rate of heating on the position of the critical points of iron-cobalt alloys was studied. It is shown that when an alloy with 8% Co by weight is heated at the rate of 7000 deg/sec, a shift in the temperature of phase conversion of almost 30 deg occurs. When an alloy with 15% Co by weight is heated at the same rate, the conversion temperature is shifted by approximately 20 deg. For an alloy with 15% Co by weight, for which under ordinary conditions of heating the points of phase conversion and magnetic randomization (the Curie point) coincide, it was possible to show that for high rates of heating, a separation with respect to temperature occurs which clearly confirms the fact of the shift in the critical points of phase conversion

The Quest for the Heaviest Uranium Isotope

We study Uranium isotopes and surrounding elements at very large neutron number excess. Relativistic mean field and Skyrme-type approaches with different parametrizations are used in the study. Most models show clear indications for isotopes that are stable with respect to neutron emission far beyond N=184 up to the range of around N=258.Comment: 4 pages, 5. figure

On stability of the neutron rich Oxygen isotopes

Stability with respect to neutron emission is studied for highly neutron-excessive Oxygen isotopes in the framework of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach with Skyrme forces Sly4 and Ska. Our calculations show increase of stability around 40O.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Spin-orbit Hanle effect in high-mobility quantum wells

We study the depolarization of optically oriented electrons in quantum wells subjected to an in-plane magnetic field and show that the Hanle curve drastically depends on the carrier mobility. In low-mobility structures, the Hanle curve is described by a Lorentzian with the width determined by the effective g-factor and the spin lifetime. In contrast, the magnetic field dependence of spin polarization in high-mobility quantum wells is nonmonotonic: The spin polarization rises with the magnetic field induction at small fields, reaches maximum and then decreases. We show that the position of the Hanle curve maximum can be used to directly measure the spin-orbit Rashba/Dresselhaus magnetic field.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Dynamic ferromagnetic proximity effect in photoexcited semiconductors

The spin dynamics of photoexcited carriers in semiconductors in contact with a ferromagnet is treated theoretically and compared with time-dependent Faraday rotation experiments. The long time response of the system is found to be governed by the first tens of picoseconds in which the excited plasma interacts strongly with the intrinsic interface between semiconductor and ferromagnet in spite of the existence of a Schottky barrier in equilibrium
