Burning of aluminum particles in water

Abstract  
Experiments in a constant-volume reactor and in a model rocket combustor demonstrated the possibility of convective burning of mixtures of water with PAP-2 flaky aluminum powder with the formation of alumina and hydrogen. It was shown that the porosity of the mixture is an important factor determining the mode of its burning. The burning occurred at a pressure of several hundred atmospheres in the convective mode.

The destruction of negative ions in slow collisions with atoms: Taking into account the quantum-mechanical character of nuclear motions

Abstract  
The collisional destruction of negative ions close to the reaction threshold is considered using the delta-function model. The dynamics of an electron and atoms is explicitly included in the Schrödinger equation. The use of an integral transformation allowed the problem of solving the partial differential equation to be reduced to solving an ordinary second-order differential equation. The forms of the spectrum of free electrons were found to be similar for two possible arrangements of quasi-molecule terms. A generalization of the suggested approach was used in the problem of the interaction of one tilted term with a group of parallel tilted terms in a quantum description of the motion of atoms. A simple equation was obtained which led to a correct electron distribution exponential function.

Quantum-mechanical oscillator in a uniform force field

Abstract  
The symmetry group of an isotropic oscillator explaining additional degeneracy of its energy levels was for the first time considered by Demkov [1–3]. He directed attention to the fact that harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian symmetry was beyond the scope of usual geometric concepts and could be expressed using canonical transformations relating coordinates and momenta. We show in this paper how the symmetry properties of the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian can be used to solve the dynamic problem of an oscillator in a uniform force field.

Central potential reconstruction from scattering data by the variable boundary method with the use of Bargmann potentials

Abstract  
An effective numerical method for solving the inverse quantum scattering problem with a fixed angular momentum is suggested. The method is based on combining the variable boundary method suggested earlier and the method of Bargmann potentials. Test calculations are evidence of high method effectiveness in various particular cases, for instance, when there are bound states and resonances.

Study of physicochemical forms of the spatial distribution of ?-emitters in areas around the Chernobyl NPP

Abstract  
The results of measurements of the physicochemical forms of ?-emitters formed by high-temperature dispersion of the fuel and the material and construction elements adjacent to the reactor during the Chernobyl accident on April 26, 1986 are report. Measurements were performed in May 1986 with the help of low-background nitrocellulose track detectors developed in 1985 and produced at the Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The fraction of the aggregate form was found to decrease in the direction from the Chernobyl NPP to the city of Kiev, to a level characteristic of the dispersed component at a distance of 100 km from the plant. The ?-radioactivity of various objects, such as biota, soil, surfaces of buildings and industrial installations, was assessed. The distribution of ?-activity of microparticles was demonstrated to be closely described by the lognormal function.

Permutation symmetry and condensation of identical particles consisting of fermions

Abstract  
For identical particles, consisting of fermions, the upper bound for the number of particles that can occupy a single state is determined. In the macroscopic case, it is proportional to the square root of the number of possible ways of formation of particles of a given composition of all fermions present in the mixture (the normalization constant of the respective density matrix). Particles capable of accumulating in macroscopic quantities in one state can consist only of an even number of fermions of different kinds. In the case of atoms in a trap, this bound can approach arbitrarily close to the total number of atoms. Since the state of the centers of mass of the atoms is described by a symmetric wave function, they, like elementary bosons, can form a condensate, the coherence properties of the components of which are characterized by an antisymmetric wave function of a single atom in relative coordinates.

Self-oscillations in a flow ideal mixing reactor in the region of multiplicity of stationary equilibrium states: a consecutive reaction

Abstract  
A model of a flow ideal mixing reactor for a consecutive two-stage exothermic first-order reaction was considered. The presence of a region of multiplicity of stationary states was established. This multiplicity region can contain regions of three and five stationary states; the region of five states always appears inside the region of three stationary states. Changes in the type of stationary state stability in each of these regions are analyzed. Numerical calculations of phase trajectories in the regions of stationary state stability and instability were performed. A mechanism of the creation of a stable limiting cycle was suggested for the case of three stationary states.

On the existence of four-particle Coulomb systems

Abstract  
Whether bound states of Coulomb systems composed of four particles with unit charges (quadrions), a + b + c ? d ?, exist is demonstrated to be determined by the masses of the constituent particles. Relations that make it possible to establish the existence of a large number quadrions with different masses of the particles are derived. The energies of reference quadrions of different symmetry, a positronium molecule, a + a + a ? a ?, a + b + a ? b ?, a + b + a ? b ?, and a + a + b ? c ?, are determined and groups of stable asymmetric quadrions corresponding to them are identified. A relationship between the stability of a number of quadrions and three-particle systems (trions) was found. The results shows that, among all the 406 four-particle independent combinations of electrons, muons, pions, kaons, protons, deuterons, and tritium nuclei or their antiparticles, there are 227 bound quadrions.

The dissociative recombination of HeNe+ ions with electrons: The partial rate constants for the formation of atoms in the 2p53p configuration

Abstract  
A simple experiment transparent for interpretation is presented in which afterglow of a discharge in helium with a small admixture of neon was studied. The intensities of the spectral lines of the Ne* atom at the stage of plasma decay were analyzed to find the conditions under which the dissociative recombination of heteronuclear ions HeNe+ + e ? He + Ne* played a predominant role in the formation of part of the after-glow spectrum. The absolute values of partial coefficients responsible for the formation of excited neon atoms in the 2p 53p configuration were determined.

Nonadiabatic transitions in collisions of a negative hydrogen ion with a hydrogen molecule

Abstract  
Nonadiabatic transitions of two types: (1) between discrete states and (2) between discrete and continuous spectrum states were considered for the detachment of a negative hydrogen ion in collisions with a hydrogen molecule. It was shown for the example of collinear collisions that, at low collision energies, the mechanism of the process was related to the quasi-stationary character of the ground electronic state of the quasi-molecule, whereas the mechanism related to the quasi-stationary character of the first excited state became noticeable as the energy of collisions increased.

The role played by a polymer matrix in the transfer of charge carriers in molecularly doped polumers

Abstract  
Transient current curves were recorded for polystyrene and polycarbonate doped with 15 wt % tritolylamine using both surface and volume charge carrier generation. The multiple trapping model was used to perform numerical calculations of time-of-flight curves for the published Gaussian disorder model parameters. The calculation results were compared with the experimental data. It was shown that the experimental and calculated curves satisfactorily coincided. The flat plateau observed in time-of-flight curves should not be associated with the establishment of a quasi-equilibrium transport regime.

Relativistic calculations of electronic excitation probabilities in U92+-U91+(1s) collisions in the monopole approximation

Abstract  
Heavy ion collisions U92+-U91+(1s) at a 6 MeV incident particle energy per nucleon are considered. The wave function of the electron was determined by solving the Dirac time-dependent equation in a central field, which is the sum of the potential of the target nucleus and the potential of the incident nucleus taken in the monopole approximation. The Dirac equation was solved using the basis set of Hermitian B-splines. The probabilities of remaining in the 1s target state were calculated as functions of the impact parameter.

The coulomb glory effect in collisions of antiprotons with heavy ions

Abstract  
The Coulomb glory effect in the back scattering of antiprotons with energies of from 100 eV to 3 keV from a bare nucleus of uranium and from uranium ions with closed shells is considered in terms of nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum theory. The appearance of Coulomb glory in collisions with multiply charged ions is caused by nucleus charge screening by filled electron shells. In scattering from a bare nucleus, the effect appears because of the screening properties of the vacuum polarization potential.

The influence of the inertial medium relaxation component on the kinetics of “hot” transitions

Abstract  
The probabilities of “hot” electronic transitions for inertial (Gauss correlation function) and diffusion (exponential correlation function) polar solvent relaxation modes were calculated. It was shown that the probabilities of transitions for inertial and diffusion relaxation could differ by two-three times. The possibility and conditions of the replacement of the inertial by diffusion relaxation component were studied in the simulation of electronic transition kinetics in real solvents.

Perturbations in the rotational structure of the 4p complex of H2 molecule terms

Abstract  
A statistical analysis of all the available data on the wave numbers of spectral lines related to triplet-triplet electronic-vibrational-rotational (rovibronic) radiation transitions into the H2 molecule (1s?2s?) a 3? g + electronic state was performed for the first time. This allowed us to check and refine the controversial identification of several spectral lines. Optimum rovibronic term values were found for 15 electronic states, including the (4p?)f 3? u +, (4p?)k 3? u +, and (4p?)k 3? u ? states studied in this work. The ratios between the oscillator strengths of R- and P-branch lines with common upper levels (branching coefficients) for the f 3? u + ? a 3? g + and k 3? u + ? a 3? g + systems of H2 molecule bands were measured for the first time. Substantial deviations of the measured branching coefficients from the corresponding ratios between the Henl-London factors were observed. The deviations monotonically increased as the rotational quantum number N grew, which, in combination with substantial ?-doubling in the k 3? u state, was evidence of an important role played by electronicrotational interaction in the 4p?3? u + and 4p?3? u + adiabatic electronic states. A strong correlation was observed between the N dependences of branching coefficients for transitions from the mutually perturbed f 3? u + and k 3? u + electronic states. The results of this work show that the measured branching coefficients are a much more sensitive and capacious channel of information about perturbation effects than rovibronic term values.

Temperature dependence of OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces of atmospheric importance

Abstract  
Although OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces is very efficient, it is thought to be negligible to affect the OH and O3 balance in the lower troposphere. To estimate its contribution in the upper troposphere, we have studied the temperature dependence of OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces of atmospheric importance over the temperature range from 218 to 298 K. We found that the OH uptake coefficient is weakly dependent of temperature, ranging from 0.1 to 1, as was measured under flow conditions using chemical ionization mass spectrometry. This finding was further used to estimate OH loss on carbonaceous aerosol under upper tropospheric conditions. Our calculations suggested that OH heterogeneous loss may represent a notable sink for OH in the upper troposphere, which is due to both the significantly lower diffusion limitation and weakly temperature-dependent OH uptake. The obtained results may be thus important for aerosol chemistry of the upper troposphere.

Possible mechanisms of the influence of hexylresorcinol on the structure-dynamic and functional properties of lysozyme protein

Abstract  
The influence of hexylresorcinol on the structure, equilibrium fluctuations, and functional activity of water-soluble enzyme lysozyme was studied over a wide range of hexylresorcinol concentrations. Hexylresorcinol was found to be not only a stabilizer of lysozyme. At low hexylresorcinol concentrations (2 to 10 molecules per lysozyme globule), the activity of lysozyme sharply increased; activity began to decrease as the concentration grew. The influence of hexylresorcinol on the structural, dynamic, and functional lysozyme characteristics is well described by models of preferential hydration and preferential protein interaction with hexylresorcinol. The hexylresorcinol molecule consists of hydrophobic (alkyl radical) and hydrophilic (aromatic nucleus) moieties, which has additional regulatory action on the functional activity of lysozyme. As the concentration of hexylresorcinol increases, the effect of regions with preferential hydration begins to noticeably predominate over the effect of preferential interaction with hexylresorcinol. At hexylresorcinol concentrations higher than 100 molecules per lysozyme globule, the activity of lysozyme is fully inhibited. This is caused by the preferential hydration of the protein with the displacement of hexylresorcinol from direct contacts with it. The displacement of hexylresorcinol causes the formation of high-density hexylresorcinol micelles. Dense micelles interfere with the approach of substrates to the protein and fully inhibit its functional activity. The complete inhibition of lysozyme activity occurs at hexylresorcinol concentrations lower by an order of magnitude than glycerol inhibiting concentrations.

A model of the multiple adsorption of hydrogen atoms on the surface of carbon nanotubes

Abstract  
A model of the multiple adsorption of atomic hydrogen on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes of the zigzag and arm-chair types was constructed. The adsorption model is based on the Anderson periodic model. An analytic equation for the band structure of carbon nanotubes with adsorbed hydrogen atoms was obtained, and the special features of this structure were studied. The dependence of the band structure of carbon nanotubes on the concentration of adsorbed hydrogen atoms was analyzed. The model constructed can be used to study adsorption of other univalent atoms on the surface of carbon particles.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of the operation of the rotating-detonation chamber

Abstract  
The aim of this work is to apply three-dimensional numerical simulation to determining the conditions of the stable operation of the rotating-detonation chamber (RDC), the thermal state of the chamber walls, as well as the most important parameters of the flow at the inlet and outlet, keeping in mind the possibility of placing the RDC between a compressor and a turbine in a prospective gas turbine installation. The model is based on a system of three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes, energy, and species conservation equations for a multicomponent reacting gas mixture supplemented by a turbulence model. The system is solved using a combined algorithm based on the finite-volume and particle methods. The capabilities of the computer program are demonstrated by the example of a circular RDC with inner and outer walls 260 and 306 mm in diameter and with axial introduction of a hydrogen-air mixture through an annular gap at the bottom of the chamber (with a relative area of 0.6). The detonation wave spun over the bottom at a frequency of ?126000 rpm. Calculations have shown that such an RDC can operate in a steady mode with one detonation wave.

On the supramolecular mechanism of cell-cell commutation

Abstract  
Processes of cell commutation via anisometric supramolecular structures (strings) are considered in vitro and using physicochemical models of lipids and trifluoroacetylated amino alcohols. The biological effectiveness of commutation via strings is demonstrated to be higher compared to the diffusion mechanism of transfer of biologically active molecules over distances between objects typical of populations of microorganisms. A kinetic model of strings is developed, and the rate of signal transmission in such systems is estimated. It is shown that the condition of the chirality of lipids forming the biomembranes of cells follows from the experimentally observed cell commutation by means of supramolecular anisometric structures.

The method of phase trajectories in nonstationary thermal explosion theory

Abstract  
It is shown that consideration of the heating rate-temperature dependence, an analysis of self-heating for first-order exothermic reactions, and strict inclusion of kinetic deceleration puts forward fresh ideas about the diversity of reaction regimes on the Todes criterion-Semenov criterion parameter plane. From this point of view, classic Semenov theory is a particular case of the projection of two-dimensional regions onto the direction of Semenov criterion changes. An analysis of the mutual arrangement of reaction region boundaries with different kinetics and the shape of the representation point movement trajectory when the initial temperature of the system changed allowed us to determine the thermal explosion degeneration region, transition region, and regions of possible explosive reaction modes.

Thermooxidative degradation of blends based on poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate). Specifics of the process

Abstract  
The relationship between the structure and the kinetics of the thermal oxidation of the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) — ethylene propylene rubber and polyethylene — poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) systems is studied. For the first system containing 30–50 wt % poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), phase inversion is observed, which affects its reactivity. For the compositions with polyethylene, two stages of oxidation manifest themselves: before and after poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) degradation.

About one analogy for the activation stage of a detonation process in condensed systems

Abstract  
The modern concepts of detonation processes in condensed systems are analyzed. A theoretical explanation of processes basic to nonthermal explosive solid-state transformations at a high pressure suggested earlier allows a deep analogy between these processes and processes at the activation detonation wave stage that occur inside its shock fore front and in its immediate vicinity to be established.

Transient electromagnetic radiation induced by an electron beam at the exit of a linear accelerator

Abstract  
The parameters of radio radiation generated in an air medium by an electron beam from a RELUS-1 small electron accelerator (Radiation Acceleration Center, MIFI) were studied theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical models for the generation of electromagnetic fields over the frequency range 10–3000 MHz induced by an electron beam were developed and studied. Electromagnetic fields from a beam of electrons were recorded over the frequency ranges 140–160 and 2794–2804. The discrepancy between theoretical estimates and recorded values was less than 50%.

Study of the total reactive dynamics of the H + DCl reaction within the framework of the quantum approach

Abstract  
The reactive dynamics of the H + DCl reaction was studied by the wave-packet method at an arbitrary total angular momentum. Two reaction channels (exchange and abstraction) are considered. The reaction cross sections calculated depending on collision energies up to 2.5 eV and initial states of the DCl molecule remain unchanged for the rotational levels j 0 = 0, 1, 4 at a vibrational level v 0 = 0. The reaction threshold and cross section agree with the known experimental data.

Thermal regimes of a counterflow reactor: a gas-liquid system

Abstract  
A counterflow reactor model for a system of two phases one of which involves an exothermic bimolecular reaction is considered. At a stationary temperature distribution in the reactor, there are high and low heating regions. For the adiabatic case, maximum heating is only possible at the bottom of the reactor. The maximum stationary temperature in the reactor decreases and shifts toward the top of the reactor as the intensity of heat exchange with the environment increases.

Relaxation of electronically excited products of solid-state reactions in the crystal lattice

Abstract  
The mechanisms of deactivation of electronically excited products of decomposition of silver azide (nitrogen molecules) are examined. A model of dipole interaction with the electron subsystem of the crystal is used to estimate the rate constants of deactivation with formation of electron-hole pairs (?109 s?1) and energy transfer to a band hole (?10?12 cm3 s?1). The values obtained confirm the basic postulate underlying the models of solid-phase chain reactions: the preferential formation of electronic excitations of the crystal lattice during the deactivation of excited decomposition products.

The oxidation of dodecane on a vanadium-molybdenum catalyst

Abstract  
The catalytic oxidation of dodecane by air oxygen on a mixed vanadium-molybdenum oxide (V2O5 · MoO3, 40 mol % MoO3) was studied over the temperature range 300–350°C. The reaction at 300–330°C occurred on oxygen vacancies with the rupture of C-H bonds and formation of ?-acid. Oxidation above 350°C occurred with the splitting of the C-C bond and formation of two and more acids. Singlet oxygen 1O2 generated in the oxidation of oxide catalyst lattice oxygen participated in the reaction. A possible mechanism of the process was considered.

Relaxation of excited molecules in a medium with memory at short and long times

Abstract  
Two qualitatively different approaches to the dynamics of vibrational wave packets in the presence of medium-induced relaxation, with taking into account relaxation memory effects and without taking them into account (Makovian approximation) were compared for a molecular system with one vibrational degree of freedom (the Morse oscillator) in a medium. The time evolution of the populations of levels, mean system energy, and response of “pumping-probing” experiments were calculated. It was found that, as distinct from the Markovian approximation, the approach including memory effects can predict the evolution of a molecular system satisfying the detailed equilibrium principle. The two approaches specified also predict the existence of a qualitative difference of phase characteristics in the behavior of the system at short times.

Kinetics of the diffusion of an impurity atom on a fcc(111) surface

Abstract  
An analytical study of the migration of an embedded impurity atom over a solid surface under the influence of the diffusion of vacancies is performed. The case of small surface coverages of both vacancies and impurity atoms is considered. It is shown that the realization of multiple collisions of a single impurity atom with vacancies imparts a Brownian character to its motion. At long times, the dependence of the mean square displacement on the time differs little from the linear, whereas the spatial density distribution is close to the Gaussian, features that makes it possible to introduce a diffusion coefficient. For the latter, an analytical expression is derived, which differs from the product of the diffusion coefficient of vacancies and their relative concentration only by a numerical factor. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient of an impurity atom on the ratio of the frequency of its jumps to the frequency of jumps of vacancies is analyzed. In the kinetic mode, when the frequency of jump ? of the imurity atom is small, the diffusion coefficient of the impurity depends linearly on ?, whereas in the opposite case, a saturation occur and its dependence on the frequency of jumps of the impurity atom disappears.

On the possibility of improving classic hydrodynamics equations by an increase in the number of hydrodynamic values

Abstract  
Any of the infinite number of invariants of a binary collision of structureless particles was shown to annihilate the collision integral written in the 12-dimensional phase space of two particles. Its own principal hydrodynamic value corresponds to each of these invariants. The six-dimensional phase space of one particle can only accommodate three lower binary collision invariants that allow the integral of collisions to be annihilated. The first equation of the Bogolybov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon hierarchy is, however, not closed, and the transition from the 6-dimensional phase space to the hydrodynamic stage of description is therefore closed. The Boltzmann hypothesis closes the kinetic equation and therefore opens up the possibility of approximate transition to hydrodynamics. Just the Boltzmann hypothesis allows classic hydrodynamics equations constructed with the use of only three lower principal hydrodynamic values to be substantiated statistically. It should be expected that the neglect of the higher principal hydrodynamic values will limit the applicability range of classic hydrodynamics to states insignificantly removed from the statistical equilibrium state. Most probably, just this limitation is responsible for obvious discrepancy between the results of direct numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equation and the experimental data on flows that lost stability. The possibility of the improvement of classic hydrodynamics equations is sought on the way toward an increase in the number of principal hydrodynamic values.

Dynamic state of the atmosphere in aerosol components

Abstract  
An approach to analyzing experimental data on the size distribution and concentrations of atmospheric aerosol particles and meteorological parameters by using the flicker-noise spectroscopy is proposed. This approach makes it possible to identify the character of evolution of the measured parameters due to the processes underlying their variation, to trace the relationship between measured quantities, and, based on this, to determine the mechanisms of interactions between aerosol particles and gaseous components of the atmosphere. As an example, the behavior of the concentration, average particle size, and relative humidity of the atmosphere is examined. Atmospheric measurements were carried out at the recreation center in Tishkovo (Moscow Region). The proposed approach may prove useful in solving ecological and environmental problems.

A study of nanostructures formed in the hydrogen reduction of Fe(OH)3

Abstract  
A complex study of the hydrogen reduction of nanosized iron hydroxide Fe(OH)3 at 400°C was performed. It was shown that, during the reduction of Fe(OH)3 to iron metal ?-Fe, intermediate compounds such as Fe(OH)2, ?-FeOOH, ?-FeOOH, ?-FeOOH, ?-FeOOH, and FeO are formed along with stable iron oxides ?-Fe2O3, ?-Fe2O3, and Fe3O4. A scheme of chemical and structural transformations that occur in the reduction of nanosized Fe(OH)3 is presented. The scheme takes into account the possibility of the bifurcation mechanism of reaction development.

Microwave radiation in the upper atmosphere of the earth during strong geomagnetic disturbances

Abstract  
The influence of N2 and O2 molecules on spontaneous microwave radiation spectrum was studied over the decimeter range. This radiation appears in the D and E upper earth atmosphere layers during strong magnetic storms. It was shown to be caused by radiation transitions between medium-perturbed orbitally degenerate Rydberg atom and molecule states A** that occur without changes in the principal quantum number, ?n = 0. The available experimental data were used to calculate the dependences of orbitally degenerate state populations on the density of medium and electron flux and temperature. Effective radiation bands were constructed for transitions between highly excited quasi-molecule levels A**N2 and A**O2. The emission spectrum was shown to be inhomogeneous and contain three frequency regions in which a noticeable decrease in the intensity of radiation occurred. The physical reason for the formation of these regions was a shift of the emission spectra of quasi-molecules containing unexcited N2 and O2 molecules. The frequency profiles of radiation intensity within these frequency regions were calculated as depending on the storm level. Radiation profiles were shown to noticeably change as the storm level increased, they strongly increased close to the right region edge corresponding to high transition frequencies. Nonmonotonic behavior of this profile in the middle of the lower region was observed; this was related to emission spectrum inhomogeneity. A sharp increase in radiation intensity as the magnetic storm level increased occurred in the region of frequencies situated close to the right edge of the upper region (50–100 GHz), which was most interesting for biophysical studies of the action of microwave radiation on living organisms during strong geomagnetic disturbances.

Effect of external influences on the structural and dynamic parameters of polyhydroxybutyrate-hydroxyvalerate-based biocomposites

Abstract  
The EPR probe, DSC, and WARDX methods are applied to study the molecular dynamics and structure of 3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate copolymer (PHBHV, 5 mol %) and its mixtures with segmented polyester urethane (SPEU) upon ozone oxidation and hydrothermal treatment. It is shown that time-limited (3 and 5 h) treatment of the mixed compositions with water at 40°C has no noticeable effect on the dynamics of rotation of the probe (EPR) and the crystallinity of PHBHV (DSC). However, hydrothermal treatment at 70°C causes an increase in the molecular mobility of the probe in the system, accompanied, according to XRD and DSC analyses, by increases in the degree of crystallinity and density of PHBHV crystallites. The temperature of fusion of mixed compositions also increases. During ozonation, the mobility of the probe slows gradually in PHBHV all the time, whereas in mixed compositions, a slowdown is observed only up to 3 h of oxidation time, after which, up to 5 h of ozonation, the mobility increases, along with decreases in the fraction of the amorphous phase and in the density of the crystallites.

Perturbative analysis of the probability of the nonthermal transfer of an electron

Abstract  
The probability of the nonthermal transfer of an electron of an excited donor-acceptor complexes was calculated from the electron coupling parameter within the framework of time-dependent perturbation theory. Using the analysis of the two first corrections of the perturbation theory series for the standard spinboson model with the Debye spectral density of thermostat oscillators as a basis, we revealed the structure of higher corrections. This allowed us to sum up the series and obtain a new analytical expression distinct from the widely used Padé-approximation for the probability of the nonthermal transfer of an electron. The stochastic approach was shown to allow overestimation of the probability of nonthermal electron transitions by 40.0% in the solvent-controlled regime.

Magnetic properties of monodisperse nanomagnetite

Abstract  
The monodisperse magnetite nanoclusters 13–15 nm in size were synthesized and studied. The nanoclusters were stabilized in colloid solution by means of surface-active-substance (SAS)—oleic acid in the presence, paraffin—docosane and separated from each other by paraffin layers at the distance approximately ?3 nm. The first order magnetic phase transition was observed in magnetite, when magnetization of a cluster disappears by jump at some critical temperature similar to that of the Curie or Neel temperatures typical of the bulk material. The observed effect is explained by the influence of surface-induced defects in the nanomagnetite. The developed surface of a cluster generates defects and causes surface tension. The model is proposed, and transition from a paramagnetic to magnetic ordered (superparamagnetic) state of a cluster is found experimentally by applying an external magnetic field which is more than some critical one. Nanomagnetite itself exists in a special “oxidized condition”, which elementary cell is the same as in normal magnetite, but it contains only trivalent cations in a B-sublattice.

Critical phenomena in the cellular mode of filtration combustion in the presence of heat loss

Abstract  
Critical conditions for combustion failure due to heat loss to the environment are examined. The process of filtration combustion is considered under conditions where a cellular structure of the front is realized, because the planar combustion front loses its stability and splits into separate cells of exothermic chemical conversion, which propagate in self-sustained mode. The size and structure of the cells of chemical interaction depend nonlinearly on the governing parameters, including the rate of heat loss to the environment. Within the framework of a mathematical model of filtration combustion, the steady-state dynamics of the combustion process and the structure of the cell of exothermic chemical reaction of a powder mixture with a gaseous reagent with the formation of solid products are simulated. The specifics of the evolution of the cell before combustion failure as a function of the heat loss rate are studied.

Formation of a bioactive material for selective laser sintering from a mixture of powdered polylactide and nano-hydroxyapatite in supercritical carbon dioxide

Abstract  
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) is used to prepare bioactive composites from powdered polylactide and nanosized hydroxyapatite for surface-selective laser sintering of three-dimensional tissue engineering structures. The mixture of powdered polylactide and nanosized hydroxyapatite and cannot be directly laser-sinter because of the impossibility of forming continuous filaments from sintered polymer particles. The use of composite particles for sintering formed in SC-CO2 medium makes it possible to eliminate this shortcoming and to form continuous structures. Analysis of the composition and mechanical tests of such structures showed that the sintered composite obtained is fairly uniform, without destruction centers, capable of withstanding the same mechanical loads as the pure polymer, and therefore, suitable for use in tissue scaffold engineering.

A new approach to comparison of original pharmaceuticals and generics based on comparison of multidimensional impurity profiles using supercritical fluid extraction, liquid extraction, and GC-MS

Abstract  
This paper reports on our effort to study the possibility of comparing the original pharmaceuticals and their analogs (generics) based on comparisons of the multidimensional profiles of impurities isolated from samples by supercritical fluid extraction and liquid extraction and recorded by gas chromato-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with electron ionization (EI) and atmospheric pressure photochemical ionization (APPhCI). Using the suggested approach makes it possible to increase the number of recorded impurities, to show that the pharmaceutical samples are authentic, and to compare the original pharmaceuticals and generics according to their quality.

Oxidative delignification of wood in the supercritical carbon dioxide medium. 4. Acetylization of cellulose in the supercritical carbon dioxide medium

Abstract  
It is shown that cellulose can be acetylated with acetic anhydride in supercritical carbon dioxide in the absence of traditional catalysts, toxic solvents, and dilutants. As substrates, three cellulose samples were tested: sulfite and sulfate cellulose and cellulose obtained by low-temperature delignification in a supercritical carbon dioxide medium. The chemical composition of the cellulose diacetate product is characterized.

Supercritical fluid state of hydrocarbon-water fluids in a porous medium and optimization of fluid release from pores

Abstract  
The conditions for transition to a state of supercritical (SC) fluid in the hydrocarbons-water system are examined. A method for thermochemical heating the productive stratum near the oil well involving the transition of the oil-water formation fluid to the SC state (homogeneous, inseparable, and extremely fluid) is proposed. New chemical compositions, binary mixtures (BMs) of nitrates of organic amines (organic nitrate) and initiators of their decomposition, capable of ensuring the transition of the fluid to the supercritical state at the expense of high pressures and temperatures generated by rock pressure and heat of the exothermic reaction of BM are tested. The effectiveness of the scheme of production of formation fluid in waterflooded oil fields is assessed.
