MODERN COMPLEX ISSUES DURING THE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION OF ADOLESCENTS ON THE RAILWAY TRANSPORT
In the paper the physiological and hygienic estimation of conditions of teenage boys' working and industrial training for the engine-driver assistant of the rolling-stock in an educational institution of a railway profile is given. It is determined, that the students functional state of health is connected with the character and the year of industrial training; the most obvious changes are marked during practice on a regular job place
Electrochemical Strain Microscopy with Blocking Electrodes: The Role of Electromigration and Diffusion
Electrochemical strains are a ubiquitous feature of solid state ionic devices
ranging from ion batteries and fuel cells to electroresistive and memristive
memories. Recently, we proposed a scanning probe microscopy (SPM) based
approach, referred as electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM), for probing
local ionic flows and electrochemical reactions in solids based on bias-strain
coupling. In ESM, the sharp SPM tip concentrates the electric field in a small
(10-50 nm) region of material, inducing interfacial electrochemical processes
and ionic flows. The resultant electrochemical strains are determined from
dynamic surface displacement and provide information on local electrochemical
functionality. Here, we analyze image formation mechanism in ESM for a special
case of mixed electronic-ionic conductor with blocking tip electrode, and
determine frequency dependence of response, role of diffusion and
electromigration effects, and resolution and detection limits.Comment: 41 pages, 10 figures, 3 appendices, accepted to J. Appl. Phy
Surface and size effect on fluctuations correlation in nanoparticles with long-range order
Surface and size effect on the order parameter fluctuations and critical
phenomena in the intensively studied 3D-confined nanosized systems with
long-range order was not considered theoretically, while the calculations for
bulk samples and thick films were performed long ago. Since widely used
magnetic resonance, diffraction and scattering methods collect information
about both macro- and nanosystems via the structural factors, which are
directly related with fluctuations correlator, analytical expressions for the
correlation function of the order parameter fluctuations seem extremely
necessary for quantitative analyses of the experimental data broad spectrum. In
the letter we solve the vital problem within Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire
phenomenological approach for the particles of arbitrary shape and consider
concrete examples of the spherical and cylindrical ferroic nanoparticles.
Allowing for the strong surface energy contribution, analytical expressions
derived for Ornstein-Zernike correlator of the long-range order parameter
fluctuations in 3D-confined system, dynamic generalized susceptibility,
relaxation times and correlation radii discrete spectrum are principally
different from those known for bulk system. Besides the great importance of the
fluctuations correlation function for the analyses of scattering and magnetic
resonance experimental spectra, proposed expression for fluctuations strength
defines the fundamental limit of phenomenological theory applicability for
3D-confined nanosystems.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, 1 appendi
