The dynamics of photoprocesses induced by femtosecond infrared radiation in free Fe(CO)₅ molecules and their clusters owing to the resonant excitation of vibrations of CO bonds in the 5-μm range has been studied. The technique of infrared excitation and photoionization probing (λ = 400 nm) by femtosecond pulses has been used in combination with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. It has been found that an infrared pulse selectively excites vibrations of CO bonds in free molecules, which results in a decrease in the yield of the Fe(CO)₅⁺ molecular ion. Subsequent relaxation processes have been analyzed and the results have been interpreted. The time of the energy transfer from excited vibrations to other vibrations of the molecule owing to intramolecular relaxation has been measured. The dynamics of dissociation of [Fe(CO)₅]_n clusters irradiated by femtosecond infrared radiation has been studied. The time dependence of the yield of free molecules has been measured under different infrared laser excitation conditions. We have proposed a model that well describes the results of the experiment and makes it possible, in particular, to calculate the profile of variation of the temperature of clusters within the “evaporation ensemble” concept. The intramolecular and intracluster vibrational relaxation rates in [Fe(CO)₅]_n clusters have been estimated.

Forbidden 2P–nP and 2P–nF transitions in the ranges of the principal quantum number n = 42–114 and n = 38–48 have been detected in the optical spectra of ultracold highly excited lithium-7 atoms. The presence of forbidden transitions is due to induced external electric fields. The quantum defects and ionization energy obtained in various experiments and predicted theoretically have been discussed.

Spin radiative effects in a one-particle sector of QED have a dual nature and can be understood with the Frenkel classical rotating-electron model. In the region of parameters under study γ_⊥² ≫ 1 (γ_⊥² = 1 + p_⊥²/m²) and χ ≪ 1 (χ = \({{\sqrt {{{\left( {e{F_{\mu v}}{p_v}} \right)}^2}} } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\sqrt {{{\left( {e{F_{\mu v}}{p_v}} \right)}^2}} } {{m^3}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{m^3}}}\)), the imaginary part of the mass shift and radiation power contain two types of spin contributions. The contributions of the first type are related to the intrinsic magnetic moment of a fermion representing an additional source of electromagnetic radiation. The contributions of the second type have the opposite sign and are caused by a small change in the electron acceleration appearing due to the Frenkel addition to the particle mass. Contributions of the second type dominate, which explains the “wrong” sign of total spin corrections. We show that not only the sign but also the values of coefficients can be explained with specified accuracy using classical electrodynamics if corrections to the mass shift (action) and radiation power are calculated in canonical variables, i.e., for fixed velocity and momentum values, respectively. The results can be treated as a demonstration of the correspondence principle in the field of radiative spin effects, in addition to correspondence between classical and quantum theories at the tree (in the external filed) level. For a_e ≡ (g–2)/2 ≲ χ ≪ 1, equations of the Frenkel model lead to generalization of the system of Lorentz–BMT (Bargmann–Michel–Telegdi) equations taking into account the Frenkel addition to mass. Some features of experimental observations of the spin light are discussed.

We consider the inflation produced by two coupled fluids in a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe. Different cosmological models for describing inflation with the use of an inhomogeneous equation of state for the fluid are investigated. The gravitational equations for energy and matter are solved, and analytic representations for the Hubble parameter and the energy density are obtained. Corrections to the energy density for matter inducing the inflation and the coupling to energy are discussed. We analyze the description of inflation induced by nonconstant equation-of-state parameters from fluid viscosity. The correspondence between the spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio recently observed by the Planck satellite is considered.

The results of experiments on studying spallation and the ejection of particles from the surfaces of copper and lead samples are presented. A laser interferometry method is used to detect the particle cloud velocity and the multiple spallation parameters. Angular detectors are used to detect the depth profile of the particle cloud velocity dispersion and the structure of metal spallation.

The specific energy of interphase boundaries is an important characteristic of multiphase alloys, because it determines in many respects their microstructural stability and properties during processing and exploitation. We analyze variation of the specific energy of the β/α interface in the VT6 titanium alloy at temperatures from 600 to 975°C. Analysis is based on the model of a ledge interphase boundary and the method for computation of its energy developed by van der Merwe and Shiflet [33, 34]. Calculations use the available results of measurements of the lattice parameters of phases in the indicated temperature interval and their chemical composition. In addition, we take into account the experimental data and the results of simulation of the effect of temperature and phase composition on the elastic moduli of the α and β phases in titanium alloys. It is shown that when the temperature decreases from 975 to 600°C, the specific energy of the β/α interface increases from 0.15 to 0.24 J/m². The main contribution to the interfacial energy (about 85%) comes from edge dislocations accommodating the misfit in direction [0001]_α || [110]_β. The energy associated with the accommodation of the misfit in directions \({\left[ {\bar 2110} \right]_\alpha }\left\| {{{\left[ {1\bar 11} \right]}_\beta }} \right.\) and \({\left[ {0\bar 110} \right]_\alpha }\left\| {{{\left[ {\bar 112} \right]}_\beta }} \right.\) due to the formation of “ledges” and tilt misfit dislocations is low and increases slightly upon cooling.

The factors affecting the slope of the dispersion curve of the spin-wave resonance spectrum in multilayer films are determined. It is shown that an increase in the slope of the curve for the transverse orientation of the constant magnetic field relative to the film upon an increase in frequency is due to enhancement of dynamic as well as dissipative mechanisms of spin pinning. It is found that an increase in the damping parameter increases the degree of spin pinning in the case when the pinning layer is a reactive medium for spin oscillations and can decrease the degree of pinning when it is a dispersive medium. The conditions ensuring a higher degree of accuracy in determining the exchange interaction constant from the spin-wave resonance spectrum in multilayer films are determined.

A theory is developed to describe the wave processes that occur in waveguide media having several types of nonlinearity, specifically, multinonlinear media. It is shown that the nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be used to describe the general wave process that occurs in such media. The competition between the electric wave nonlinearity and the magnetic wave nonlinearity in a layered multinonlinear ferrite–ferroelectric structure is found to change a total repulsive nonlinearity into a total attractive nonlinearity.

A heterostructure that consists of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7–δ cuprate superconductor and the SrRuO₃/La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ ruthenate/manganite spin valve is investigated using SQUID magnetometry, ferromagnetic resonance, and neutron reflectometry. It is shown that a magnetic moment is induced due to the magnetic proximity effect in the superconducting part of the heterostructure, while the magnetic moment in the composite ferromagnetic interlayer is suppressed. The magnetization emerging in the superconductor coincides in order of magnitude with the results of calculations taking into account the induced magnetic moment of Cu atoms because of orbital reconstruction at the interface between the superconductor and the ferromagnet, as well as with the results of the model taking into account the variations in the density of states at a distance on the order of the coherence length in the superconductor. The experimentally obtained characteristic penetration depth of the magnetic moment in the superconductor considerably exceeds the coherence length of the cuprate superconductor, which indicates the predominance of the mechanism of induced magnetic moment of Cu atoms.

Consistent optical and acoustic techniques have been used to study the structure of hydrodynamic disturbances and acoustic signals generated as a free falling drop penetrates water. The relationship between the structures of hydrodynamic and acoustic perturbations arising as a result of a falling drop contacting with the water surface and subsequent immersion into water is traced. The primary acoustic signal is characterized, in addition to stably reproduced features (steep leading edge followed by long decay with local pressure maxima), by irregular high-frequency packets, which are studied for the first time. Reproducible experimental data are used to recognize constant and variable components of the primary acoustic signal.

Based on the solutions of the Bragg–Hawthorne equation, we discuss the helicity of a thin toroidal vortex in the presence of swirl, orbital motion along the torus directrix. The relation between the helicity and circulations along the small and large linked circumferences (the torus directrix and generatrix) is shown to depend on the azimuthal velocity distribution in the core of the swirling ring vortex. In the case of nonuniform swirl, this relation differs from the well-known Moffat relation, viz., twice the product of such circulations multiplied by the number of linkages. The results can find applications in investigating the vortices in planetary atmospheres and the motions in the vicinity of active galactic nuclei.
