Mathematical simulation of the influence of surface roughness and mass loss on thermal protection
A mathematical model of the thermochemical destruction of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic in the presence of surface roughness and composite ablation is refined based on known theoretical results. It is shown that mass loss through rough surface ambiguously influences the intensity of heat exchange processes in thermal protective material. Results of numerical calculations are compared with known data
Mathematical modeling of heat and mass transfer in a thermal protection coating with gas flow fluctuations
The thermochemical destruction of a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer when affected by a high enthalpy fluctuating gas flow is simulated numerically. The possibility of controlling the heat transfer process in the composite material is studied
Phonon bottleneck in p-type Ge/Si quantum dots
We study the effect of quantum dot size on the mid-infrared photo- and dark current, photoconductive gain, and hole capture probability in ten-period p-type Ge/Si quantum dot heterostructures. The dot dimensions are varied by changing the Ge coverage and the growth temperature during molecular beam epitaxy of Ge/Si(001) system in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. In all samples, we observed the general tendency: with decreasing the size of the dots, the dark current and hole capture probability are reduced, while the photoconductive gain and photoresponse are enhanced. Suppression of the hole capture probability in small-sized quantum dots is attributed to a quenched electron-phonon scattering due to phonon bottleneck
AC Conductance in Dense Array of the GeSi Quantum Dots in Si
Complex AC-conductance, , in the systems with dense
GeSi quantum dot (QD) arrays in Si has been determined from
simultaneous measurements of attenuation, ,
and velocity, , of surface acoustic waves (SAW)
with frequencies = 30-300 MHz as functions of transverse magnetic field 18 T in the temperature range = 1-20 K. It has been shown that in the
sample with dopant (B) concentration 8.2 cm at
temperatures 4 K the AC conductivity is dominated by hopping between
states localized in different QDs. The observed power-law temperature
dependence, , and weak frequency dependence,
, of the AC conductivity are consistent with
predictions of the two-site model for AC hopping conductivity for the case of
1, where is the SAW angular frequency and
is the typical population relaxation time. At 7 K the AC
conductivity is due to thermal activation of the carriers (holes) to the
mobility edge. In intermediate temperature region 4 7 K, where AC
conductivity is due to a combination of hops between QDs and diffusion on the
mobility edge, one succeeded to separate both contributions. Temperature
dependence of hopping contribution to the conductivity above 4.5 K
saturates, evidencing crossover to the regime where 1. From
crossover condition, = 1, the typical value, , of
the relaxation time has been determined.Comment: revtex, 3 pages, 6 figure
Localization of electrons in dome-shaped GeSi/Si islands
We report on intraband photocurrent spectroscopy of dome-shaped GeSi islands embedded in a Si matrix with n+-type bottom and top Si layers. An in-plane polarized photoresponse in the 85–160 meV energy region has been observed and ascribed to the optical excitation of electrons from states confined in the strained Si near the dome apexes to the continuum states of unstrained Si. The electron confinement is caused by a modification of the conduction band alignment induced by inhomogeneous tensile strain in Si around the buried GeSi quantum dots. Sensitivity of the device to the normal incidence radiation proves a zero-dimensional nature of confined electronic wave functions
Weak splittings of quotients of Drinfeld and Heisenberg doubles
We investigate the fine structure of the simplectic foliations of Poisson
homogeneous spaces. Two general results are proved for weak splittings of
surjective Poisson submersions from Heisenberg and Drinfeld doubles. The
implications of these results are that the torus orbits of symplectic leaves of
the quotients can be explicitly realized as Poisson-Dirac submanifolds of the
torus orbits of the doubles. The results have a wide range of applications to
many families of real and complex Poisson structures on flag varieties. Their
torus orbits of leaves recover important families of varieties such as the open
Richardson varieties.Comment: 20 pages, AMS Late
Spine-sheath polarization structures in four active galactic nuclei jets
We present the results of multifrequency (15 + 8 + 5 GHz) polarization Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the three BL Lacertae objects 0745 + 241, 1418 + 546 and 1652 + 398 together with 5-GHz VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) observations of 1418 + 546 and 1.6- and 5-GHz VSOP observations of the blazar 1055 + 018. The jets of all these sources have polarization structure transverse to the jet axis, with the polarization E vectors aligned with the jet along the jet spine and 'sheaths' of orthogonal E vectors at one or both edges of the jet. The presence of polarization aligned with the jet near the 'spine' may indicate that the jets are associated with helical B fields that propogate outward with the jet flow; the presence of orthogonal polarization near the edges of the jet may likewise be a consequence of a helical jet B field, or may be owing to an interaction with the ambient medium on parsec scales. We have tentatively detected interknot polarization in 1055 + 018 with E aligned with the local jet direction, consistent with the possibility that the jet of this source is associated with a helical B field
“Clerks of Revolution”: Jewish Youth of Province in Events of Civil War (Tambov Province)
Based on archival materials and published sources, the article deals with the problem of the participation of provincial Jewish youth in the suppression of the insurgent movement on the territory of the Tambov province. The relevance of the study is due to the need to specificate and clarify the historical role of the Jewish youth of the Russian province in the tragic events of the Civil War. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that on the basis of the biographies of the Jews of the “revolutionary turning point” generation, the mechanism of their social lifts is established. For the first time, the role and motives of the participation of Tambov Jewish communists in the fight against the peasant uprising of 1920—1921 under the leadership of A. S. Antonova are studied. The causes of anti-Semitic sentiments in the provincial society of the period of the civil war are revealed. The authors come to the conclusion that the anti-Semitism of urban and rural residents was largely due to the abuse of power by local Jews. It is noted that due to the noticeable penetration of the Jewish element into the Communist Party, in the public consciousness of the peasantry, the Bolsheviks were often identified with the Jews, stimulating the growth of dissatisfaction with the Soviet government within the peasant society
