Addition of germanic acid into the culture medium of the diatom Synedra acus subsp. radians (Kutz.) Skabitsch. had nearly no influence on the culture growth at the Ge/Si molar ratio 0.01, but stopped it at ratios 0.05 and higher. It was shown by mass-spectrometry that at the Ge/Si ratio 0.01 germanium was incorporated…

Direct experimental evidence of the validity of the two-phase model of chalcogenide glass has been obtained. It has been shown that the polarization-light irradiation of glassy semiconductor films induces giant mass transport in the direction perpendicular to the polarization of the incident light. It has been reveale…
