Experimental studies of thorium ions implantation from pulse laser plasma into thin silicon oxide layers
We report the results of experimental studies related to implantation of
thorium ions into thin silicon dioxide by pulsed plasma fluxes expansion.
Thorium ions were generated by laser ablation from a metal target, and the
ionic component of the laser plasma was accelerated in an electric field
created by the potential difference (5, 10 and 15 kV) between the ablated
target and SiO2/Si(001) sample. Laser ablation system installed inside the
vacuum chamber of the electron spectrometer was equipped with YAG:Nd3+ laser
having the pulse energy of 100 mJ and time duration of 15 ns in the Q-switched
regime. Depth profile of thorium atoms implanted into the 10 nm thick
subsurface areas together with their chemical state as well as the band gap of
the modified silicon oxide at different conditions of implantation processes
were studied by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Reflected
Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS) methods. Analysis of chemical
composition showed that the modified silicon oxide film contains complex
thorium silicates. Depending on local concentration of thorium atoms, the
experimentally established band gaps were located in the range of 6.0 - 9.0 eV.
Theoretical studies of optical properties of the SiO2 and ThO2 crystalline
systems have been performed by ab initio calculations within hybrid functional.
Optical properties of the SiO2/ThO2 composite were interpreted on the basis of
Bruggeman effective medium approximation. A quantitative assessment of the
yield of isomeric nuclei in "hot" laser plasma at the early stages of expansion
has been performed. The estimates made with experimental results demonstrated
that the laser implantation of thorium ions into the SiO2 matrix can be useful
for further research of low-lying isomeric transitions in 229Th isotope with
energy of 7.8(0.5) eV
Superfluidity of "dirty" indirect excitons and magnetoexcitons in two-dimensional trap
The superfluid phase transition of bosons in a two-dimensional (2D) system
with disorder and an external parabolic potential is studied. The theory is
applied to experiments on indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells. The
random field is allowed to be large compared to the dipole-dipole repulsion
between excitons. The slope of the external parabolic trap is assumed to change
slowly enough to apply the local density approximation (LDA) for the superfluid
density, which allows us to calculate the Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature
at each local point of the trap. The superfluid phase occurs
around the center of the trap () with the normal phase outside
this area. As temperature increases, the superfluid area shrinks and disappears
at temperature . Disorder acts to deplete the condensate; the
minimal total number of excitons for which superfluidity exists increases with
disorder at fixed temperature. If the disorder is large enough, it can destroy
the superfluid entirely. The effect of magnetic field is also calculated for
the case of indirect excitons. In a strong magnetic field , the superfluid
component decreases, primarily due to the change of the exciton effective mass.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
Electronic structure of GaAs1-xNx alloy by soft-X-ray absorption and emission: Origin of the reduced optical efficiency
The local electronic structure of N atoms in a diluted GaAs1-xNx (x=3%)
alloy, in view of applications in optoelectronics, is determined for the first
time using soft-X-ray absorption (SXA) and emission (SXE). Deviations from
crystalline GaN, in particular in the conduction band, are dramatic. Employing
the orbital character and elemental specificity of the SXE/SXA spectroscopies,
we identify a charge transfer from the N atoms at the valence band maximum,
reducing the overlap with the wavefunction in conduction band minimum, as the
main factor limiting the optical efficiency of GaAs1-xNx alloys. Moreover, a
k-conserving process of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering involving the L1
derived valence and conduction states is discovered.Comment: 3 pages, physica status solidi (Rapid Research Notes), in pres

Magnetically tunable properties related with carriers density in self-doped La1−xMnO3/y wt %Nb-SrTiO3 heteroepitaxial junctions
The self-doped La1−xMnO3 (x=0.1 and 0.3) thin films deposited on Nb-doped (wt % y) SrTiO3
(y=0.05 and 0.8) crystals to form heteroepitaxial junctions have been prepared by the pulse laser
deposition method. The current-voltage loops of junction were measured at several fixed magnetic
fields for the temperature from 10 to 300 K. We have focused on the effects of doping level and
annealing time on the magnetically tunable property of the junction. The results show that these
junctions have a typical temperature-dependent rectifying characteristics and asymmetrical
hysteresis. The magnetically tunable property of the junction was related with the annealing time for
the self-doped La1−xMnO3−δ thin film and the doping level in the Nb-doped SrTiO3 (STON) crystal.
In the self-doped La0.9MnO3/0.05-STON junction annealed at 900 °C for 5 h, the relative ratio of
voltage [Vb(0)−Vb(H)] /Vb(0) is about 70% at H=6 T and T=70 K for I=0.1 mA, showing a
large magnetically tunable property. These results reveal the great potential of the manganites in
configuring artificial devices.published_or_final_versio

Studying of engineering of the emulsion containing rape oil
The influence of consumption of E and A vitamins, essential oil of a lemon and the heat treatment’s duration on properties and on resistance to oxidation of rape oil emulsion was researched. The resistance to oxidation is estimated with numbers of peroxide and acid and quantity of malondialdehyde. It’s shown that addition of 0.1g A and E vitamins or 0.15 g essential oil of a lemon for 50 g emulsion decreases the quantity of acid products and reduced the acid accumulation during heat treatment. The emulsions containing emulsifying bases of Lipoderm 4/1, the refined deodorized rape oil, tsetilpalmitat, water and antioxidants meets to STB 1673-2006 requirements
