The critical points of alloys of iron and cobalt during rapid heating

The influence of the rate of heating on the position of the critical points of iron-cobalt alloys was studied. It is shown that when an alloy with 8% Co by weight is heated at the rate of 7000 deg/sec, a shift in the temperature of phase conversion of almost 30 deg occurs. When an alloy with 15% Co by weight is heated at the same rate, the conversion temperature is shifted by approximately 20 deg. For an alloy with 15% Co by weight, for which under ordinary conditions of heating the points of phase conversion and magnetic randomization (the Curie point) coincide, it was possible to show that for high rates of heating, a separation with respect to temperature occurs which clearly confirms the fact of the shift in the critical points of phase conversion

On stability of the neutron rich Oxygen isotopes

Stability with respect to neutron emission is studied for highly neutron-excessive Oxygen isotopes in the framework of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach with Skyrme forces Sly4 and Ska. Our calculations show increase of stability around 40O.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Nuclear Model of Binding alpha-particles

The model of binding alpha-particles in nuclei is suggested. It is shown good (with the accuracy of 1-2%) description of the experimental binding energies in light and medium nuclear systems. Our preliminary calculations show enhancement of the binding energy for super heavy nuclei with Z~120.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Will be puplished in World Scientific as Procs. Int.

The Quest for the Heaviest Uranium Isotope

We study Uranium isotopes and surrounding elements at very large neutron number excess. Relativistic mean field and Skyrme-type approaches with different parametrizations are used in the study. Most models show clear indications for isotopes that are stable with respect to neutron emission far beyond N=184 up to the range of around N=258.Comment: 4 pages, 5. figure
