A ferromagnet (F)–superconductor (S) (F 1 F 2 S) three-layer heterostructure has been studied using Usadel equations with allowance for the pair electron–electron interaction in ferromagnetic layers. The appearance of regions with solitary superconductivity on the phase diagram has been predicted for the antiparallel…

Abstract Both unipolar and bipolar magnetic or electric field pulses have been observed during preparatory stages of a lightning flash. We introduce a new simple analytical model to describe both kinds of pulses. We show how the polarity overshoot depends on the parameters of the model, including the propagation veloc…

Elastic plastic self-consistent (EPSC) simulations are used to model synchrotron X‑ray diffraction observations from deformation experiments on fayalite olivine using the deformation DIA apparatus. Consistent with results from other in situ diffraction studies of monomineralic polycrystals, the results show substantia…

More than 50 yr ago US soil taxonomy was adopted in India. Since then many researchers have contributed their thoughts to enrich the soil taxonomy. The National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning (NBSS & LUP) (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) as a premier soil survey institute has been consistently us…

Sustained high temperature on transformer insulation systems is one of the main causes of its accelerated degeneration. Continuous monitoring of transformer heat distribution could provide useful information on intensity and location estimation for hottest spot temperature (HST) development. Furthermore, faults will a…

Cultured pearls are human creations formed by inserting a nucleus and a small piece of mantle tissue into a living shelled mollusc, usually a pearl oyster. Although many pearl observations intuitively suggest a possible rotation of the nucleated pearl inside the oyster, no experimental demonstration of such a movement…

A graphene patch reflectarray is proposed for the first time to generate THz wave with orbital angular momentum (OAM). It is shown that by properly assigning the graphene patches with specific reflection coefficients, an OAM-carrying beam can be generated. The graphene reflectarray, which consists of 8 regions and eac…

Molecular-beam epitaxy is used for the preparation of structures based on “low-temperature” grown GaAs with introduced d-Si doping. Specific features in the photon-energy range of 1.28–1.48 eV are observed in the photoluminescence spectrum after structures annealing at temperatures of 520 and 580°C; these features are…

Laws of the structure formation, as well as the strength properties and thermal stability of vacuum condensates of the Fe-W system have been studied. It has been found that the alloying of iron foils with tungsten to 1 at % makes it possible to disperse the grained structure of the condensates to nanometric dimensiona…

A variant of the distribution of structural vacancies at which the crystal structure of ordered compounds simultaneously has a long-range order and correlation short-range order has been proposed and analyzed. The long-range order determines the fraction of vacancies in the atomic and vacancy sublattices of the supers…
