Contribution of corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Ye. A. Korovin to the science of international space law. Anniversary of corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Professor Ye. A. Korovin
The Soviet Union's participation in the solution of international legal problems as space flights became possible is reviewed with emphasis on the efforts of the most prominent Soviet international lawyer. Some of the professor's 230 writings are highlighted
Geometrical multilayers: coercivity in magnetic 3-D nanostructures
Electrodeposition of magnetic metals through self-assembly templates from polystyrene spheres is used for fabrication of magnetic nanostructures with 3-D architectures. These arrays demonstrate unusual properties including an oscillatory dependence of the coercive field on film thickness. Numerical simulations reveal that the ratio between the array period and the hole diameter in anti-dot array is a crucial parameter giving rise to qualitatively distinct magnetization reversal regimes
The atmosphere as a lens
The advent of manned satellites has made it possible for man to observe Earth from great distances. Many new phenomena have been discovered in the atmosphere. These are evidently caused by reflection, scattering or refraction of light on crystals and drops of water. It is possible to see small objects on the surface of Earth because of these anomalies
Pauli-principle driven correlations in four-neutron nuclear decays
Mechanism of simultaneous non-sequential four-neutron () emission (or
`true' -decay) has been considered in phenomenological five-body approach.
This approach is analogous to the model of the direct decay to the continuum
often applied to - and -decays. It is demonstrated that -decay
fragments should have specific energy and angular correlations reflecting
strong spatial correlations of `valence' nucleons orbiting in their
-precursors. Due to the Pauli exclusion principle, the valence neutrons are
pushed to the symmetry-allowed configurations in the -precursor structure,
which causes a `Pauli focusing' effect. Prospects of the observation of the
Pauli focusing have been considered for the -precursors H and O.
Fingerprints of their nuclear structure or/and decay dynamics are predicted
Two-proton radioactivity and three-body decay. IV. Connection to quasiclassical formulation
We derive quasiclassical expressions for the three-body decay width and
define the ``preexponential'' coefficients for them. The derivation is based on
the integral formulae for the three-body width obtained in the semianalytical
approach with simplified three-body Hamiltonian [L.V. Grigorenko and M.V.\
Zhukov, arXiv:0704.0920v1]. The model is applied to the decays of the first
excited state of Ne and ground state of Fe.
Various qualitative aspects of the model and relations with the other
simplified approaches to the three-body decays are discussed.Comment: 9 Pages, 2 figure
Four-Probe Measurements of Carbon Nanotubes with Narrow Metal Contacts
We find that electrons in single-wall carbon nanotubes may propagate
substantial distances (tens of nanometers) under the metal contacts. We perform
four-probe transport measurements of the nanotube conductance and observe
significant deviations from the standard Kirchhoff's circuit rules. Most
noticeably, injecting current between two neighboring contacts on one end of
the nanotube, induces a non-zero voltage difference between two contacts on the
other end.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; submitte
СONCEPT AND CALCULATION OF THE LIMIT TRANSVERSE SIZE OF CAPILLARIES
Porous medium are products of processing in food, agricultural, chemical and many other industries. Calculations of processes with wet porous medium are based on capillary properties of the liquid in a pore space. The capillary properties of liquids in porous media are established in pore models in the form of thin tubes of circular or slit transverse sections. The intensity of the processes occurring in it depends on the nature of the filling of the pore space with liquid. Filling with liquid and the formation of a capillary layer is possible only in small pores. However, there is no analytical justification for the transverse pore size, more than which it cannot be filled with liquid by capillary forces. With this in mind, the concept of the limiting transverse size of a capillary for a liquid under conditions of complete wetting is introduced. The limiting size calculation is based on two conditions: the shape of the axial section of the meniscus surface has the appearance of a semicircle and its extremum point is located at the level of the free surface of the fluid supplying the capillary. A capillary column cannot form in larger pores. The absence of formulas for calculating capillaries of the limiting sizes can introduce a significant error into the analytical calculation of the moisture content in the capillary layer of a liquid in porous media and moisture transfer processes. The aim of the study was to obtain formulas for calculating the limiting (largest) sizes of capillaries of a circular, flat slit section and annular transverse sections with complete wetting of their walls. For the conditions above, it was identified that the limiting distance between the walls was independent from annular capillary diameter. The formulas for the limiting transverse sizes of the flat slit and annular capillaries turned out to be the same under the assumptions above. This indicates a weak dependence of the limiting size of a slit capillary on the curvature of its transverse section. Examples of calculations of capillaries of the limiting sizes are performed.Porous medium are products of processing in food, agricultural, chemical and many other industries.
