The compound under study was established to exhibit a narrow direct forbidden gap. It was found that its optical band gap Eg opt = 0.31 eV, an energy gap parameter Eg0 between absolute extremums of the valence and conduction bands in the sample with the Hall electron concentration of 5.45·1020 cm–3 was equal to 0.08 – 0.12 eV, and a mdn/mdp ratio (effective masses of electron and hole states densities) was equal to about unity. No other subbands located near the absolute extremum of conduction band was revealed in PbBi4Te7. The electron dispersion law was also found to be non-parabolic in this matter. The law involved can be described in the context of Kane non-parabolisity model taking into account an exchange interaction of free electrons. It was shown that the most probable value of the Eg0 parameter fell within the range from 0.16 to 0.24 eV for PbBi4Te7 with nondegenerate free electron gas. 10.5862/JPM.225.1 621.315.592 layered semiconductor light absorption and reflection band scheme band parameter https://physmath.spbstu.ru/article/2015.29.1/ 01_9_23_3_225_2015.pdf

It was shown that on cooling the phase transition temperature (Tc) from the high-temperature paraelectric phase into the ferroelectric one did not depend on barium titanate concentration and coincided practically with Tc for the pure KNO3. Simultaneously the admixture of BaTiO3 enlarged essentially the temperature interval of the KNO3 ferroelectric phase stability in these composites. The structure refinement did not confirm the suppression of the ferroelectric phase of potassium nitrate proposed formerly for (0.5)KNO3 + (0.5)BaTiO3 sample on a basis of dielectric spectroscopy data.

The wavelength of incident X-rays was λ = 0.7749 Å, the Δλ/λ value was ≈ 2۰10-4. The two-dimensional distributions of diffuse and elastic intensities were obtained and analyzed in the several cross-sections: (H K 0), (H K 1/2), (H K 1), (H K 2), (H 0 L)and (H H L). As a result, it was shown the coexistence of two different types of ordering with different correlation lengths and various correlation functions: the first type is described by squared Lorentzian and the second one – by Lorentzian. The first component is characterized by the correlation lengths ξ(1) ab ≈ 10 nm and ξ(1)c ≈ 15 nm, the second one is with ξ(2)ab ≈ 3 nm and ξ(2)c ≈ 25 nm. 10.5862/JPM.225.3 538.9 relaxor correlation length X-Ray diffraction diffuse scattering https://physmath.spbstu.ru/article/2015.29.3/ 03_32_38_3_225_2015.pdf

Stress singularity in a top of composite wedge with internal functionally graded material The antiplane problem of the composite wedge consisting of two homogeneous external wedge-shaped areas and an intermediate zone of the interphase is studied. The interphase material is assumed functionally graded. It is shown that the problem in each area is harmonic within the quadratic law of inhomogeneity of the material in the transverse direction. The influence of the interphase on the stress state at the top of the wedge is analyzed. As compared to the ideal contact of external materials, the presence of the interphase leads both to decrease and increase in the singularity exponent. Moreover, the stress asymptotic may have two singular terms for some values of the composite parameters. 10.5862/JPM.225.10 539.3 antiplane crack functionally graded material interphase stress singularity https://physmath.spbstu.ru/article/2015.29.10/ 10_96_106_3_225_2015.pdf

The viscous stratified flow over a sphere was investigated at the Reynolds and the Froude numbers Re = 2۰105 , Fr = 1.3 for simulation of the flow over the sphere in the presence of the internal waves, and at the internal Froude number Fri = 25 for that in the presence of the surface ones. The presence of background internal waves was found to result in an increase in the turbulent viscosity in the flow behind the sphere and in the vertical shift of the turbulent viscosity’s maximum value. Moreover, their presence in the linearly stratified flow leads to a change in the density distribution of the near-surface layers of liquid. In this case the internal-wave breaking and wave mixing occur.

In the first case, the process implementations are a sequence of pulses that are short in comparison with the observation time. The process decomposition was obtained as a generalized Fourier series on the basis of the delta-function formalism, and the variances of the coefficients (random values) of this series were found as well. The resulting expressions complement Kotelnikov’s formula because they cover both the highfrequency and the low-frequency regions of the canonical-decomposition spectrum. In the second case, a random process is a superposition of narrow-band Gaussian random processes, and its implementations are characterized by oscillations. For such a process the canonical decomposition in terms of Walsh functions was obtained on the basis of the generalized function formalism. Then this decomposition was re-decomposed in terms of trigonometric functions; it follows from the resulting series that the canonical decomposition spectrum is not uniform since a pedestal is formed in the constant component region. 10.5862/JPM.225.16 519.216 canonical decomposition narrow-band Gaussian process generalized function https://physmath.spbstu.ru/article/2015.29.16/ 16_156_163_3_225_2015.pdf

Simulations with direct calculation of trajectories of projectiles accounting for all-atom interactions were carried out using the MBN Explorer software package. The full atomistic approach for particle trajectories simulation allows to quantitatively compare axial and planar channeling processes. The results of the simulations show significantly lower dechanneling length and number of channeling projectiles in the axial channeling case.
