The magnetic field of Mars estimated from the data of plasma measurements by Soviet artificial satellites of Mars

The dimensions of the obstacle forming the shock wave of Mars are estimated by use of electron trap data from Mars 2, 3, and 5. The mean altitude of the obstacle at the subsolar point can be convincingly explained if the obstacle is the magnetosphere of Mars. On the assumption that Mars has its own dipole magnetic field, the magnetic moment of Mars is estimated, Mm approximately equal to 2 x 10 to the twenty second power gs x cubic cu

Magnetic field and plasma inside and outside of the Martian magnetosphere

Simultaneous magnetic and plasma measurements, carried out by wide angle plasma detectors in the Mars environment, are compared in order to identify regions with significantly different physical properties. Magnetograms and ion spectra indicate changes in the magnetopause and magnetosphere of Mars that are associated with the dynamic pressure effect of the solar wind

Corrosion Testing of Prospective Chrome Refractory Materials in Borosilicate Glass Melts

Received: 22 November 2023. Accepted: 19 March 2024. Published online: 27 March 2024.Justification is provided of significant practical relevance of the issue of corrosion and erosion resistance of refractory materials in furnaces with direct electric heating that are used for vitrification of high-level waste. Main promising materials are listed, and an algorithm is given for assessing their resistance to attack of borosilicate glass melts under operating conditions of electric furnaces. Corrosion testing of chrome refractory materials of joint Chinese and Belgian origin has been carried out under static and dynamic conditions in a low-melting borosilicate glass melt and in a borosilicate glass melt containing simulated liquid high-level waste (HLW). A search has been conducted among chrome refractory materials of Chinese and Belgian origin for ones demonstrating the highest glass melt attack resistance with regard to the conditions of HLW solidification. The results of these tests will be considered in the design of removable and small-scale melters when selecting the material for melter lining

Low-temperature conductivity of quasi-one-dimensional conductors: Luttinger liquid stabilized by impurities

A new non-Fermi-liquid state of quasi-one-dimensional conductors is suggested in which electronic system exists in a form of collection of bounded Luttinger liquids stabilized by impurities. This state is shown to be stable towards interchain electron hopping at low temperatures. Electronic spectrum of the system contains zero modes and collective excitations of the bounded Luttinger liquids in the segments between impurities. Zero modes give rise to randomly distributed localized electronic levels, and long-range interaction generates the Coulomb gap in the density of states at the Fermi energy. Mechanism of conductivity at low temperatures is phonon-assisted hopping via zero-mode states. At higher voltages the excitations of Luttinger liquid are involved in electron transport, and conductivity obeys power-law dependence on voltage. The results provide a qualitative explanation for recent experimental data for NbSe3 and TaS3 crystals.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

On Effect of Equilibrium Fluctuations on Superfluid Density in Layered Superconductors

We calculate suppression of inter- and intralayer superconducting currents due to equilibrium phase fluctuations and find that, in contrast to a recent prediction, the effect of thermal fluctuations cannot account for linear temperature dependence of the superfluid density in high-Tc superconductors at low temperatures. Quantum fluctuations are found to dominate over thermal fluctuations at low temperatures due to hardening of their spectrum caused by the Josephson plasma resonance. Near Tc sizeable thermal fluctuations are found to suppress the critical current in the stack direction stronger, than in the direction along the layers. Fluctuations of quasiparticle branch imbalance make the spectral density of voltage fluctuations at small frequencies non zero, in contrast to what may be expected from a naive interpretation of Nyquist formula.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, RevTeX, Submitted to PR
