Spin-density induced by electromagnetic wave in two-dimensional electron gas with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings

We consider the magnetic response of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling to a microwave excitation. We generalize the results of [A. Shnirman and I. Martin, Europhys. Lett. 78, 27001 (2007).], where pure Rashba coupling was studied. We observe that the microwave with the in-plane electric field and the out-of-plane magnetic field creates an out-of-plane spin polarization. The effect is more prominent in clean systems with resolved spin-orbit-split subbands. Considered as response to the microwave magnetic field, the spin-orbit contribution to the magnetization far exceeds the usual Zeeman contribution in the clean limit. The effect vanishes when the Rashba and the Dresselhaus couplings have equal strength.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Quantum and Thermal Depinning of a String from a Linear Defect

The problem of a massive elastic string depinning from a linear defect under the action of a small driving force is considered. To exponential accuracy the decay rate is calculated with the help of the instanton method; then, fluctuations of the quasiclassical solution are taken into account to determine the preexponential factor. The decay rate exhibits a kind of first order transition from quantum tunneling to thermal activation with vanishing crossover region. The model may be applied to describe nucleation in 2-dimensional first order quantum phase transitions.Comment: Revtex. 11 pages + 4 PS figures. Accepted for publication in PR

Field Effect Transistors for Terahertz Detection: Physics and First Imaging Applications

Resonant frequencies of the two-dimensional plasma in FETs increase with the reduction of the channel dimensions and can reach the THz range for sub-micron gate lengths. Nonlinear properties of the electron plasma in the transistor channel can be used for the detection and mixing of THz frequencies. At cryogenic temperatures resonant and gate voltage tunable detection related to plasma waves resonances, is observed. At room temperature, when plasma oscillations are overdamped, the FET can operate as an efficient broadband THz detector. We present the main theoretical and experimental results on THz detection by FETs in the context of their possible application for THz imaging.Comment: 22 pages, 12 figures, review pape

Surface Treatment of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement to Increase Adhesion with Butadiene Elastomer

В работе приводятся результаты исследования увеличения адгезионного взаимодействия бутадиенового эластомера с армирующей тканью на основе углеволокна. Повышения адгезии эластомера с углеволокном добивались путем поверхностной обработки армирующей ткани, растворенной резиновой смесью в толуоле и клеем Хемосил. В результате исследования высокомодульных материалов на расслоение эластомера от углеволокна наблюдается повышение прочности адгезии. При обработке хемосилом армирующей ткани разрушение происходит по эластомеру, прочность соединения с углеволокном превышает когезионную прочность эластомера. Увеличение адгезии между армирующим наполнителем и бутадиеновой матрицей приводит к изменению упругопрочностных свойств полученных высокомодульных материалов, происходит увеличение прочности при разрыве, твердости, снижение относительного удлинения и абразивостойкости. Методом электронной микроскопии установлено, что поверхностная обработка углеткани приводит к образованию плотного контакта с эластомерной матрицей. При помощи термомеханического анализа показано, что данные материалы могут эксплуатироваться при отрицательных температурахThis study presents the results of the study of increasing the adhesive interaction of butadiene elastomer with the reinforcing fabric based on carbon fiber. Increased adhesion of elastomer with carbon fiber was achieved by surface treatment of reinforcing fabric with dissolved rubber mixture in toluene and Chemosil adhesive mixture. Examination of high-modulus materials for delamination of elastomer from carbon fiber showed an increase in adhesion strength. When a reinforcing fabric is treated with Chemosil adhesive mixture, the destruction occurs over the elastomer, the bond strength to the carbon fiber exceeds the cohesive strength of the elastomer. Increase of adhesion between reinforcing filler and butadiene matrix leads to change of elastic and strength properties of obtained high-modulus materials: increase of tensile strength and hardness, decrease of relative elongation and abrasion resistance. The method of electron microscopy has established that the surface treatment of carbon fabric leads to the formation of a dense contact with the elastomeric matrix. Thermomechanical analysis shows that these materials can be operated at negative temperature
