Temperature dependence of linear electrodynamic response of thin-film hybrid structures superconductor (MoN) — normal metal (Al) with large ratio of normal-state conductivities was studied theoretically and experimentally. Low-frequency measurements of the mutual inductance of two coils with a sample placed between them indicated an increase in magnetic screening ability of the superconductor – normal metal (SN) hybrid structures at liquid helium temperatures as $d_Al$ increases, where $d_Al$ is the thickness of the Al layer. Measurements of the frequency shift $\delta f$ of the microwave dielectric resonator, which was in contact with the SN samples as a function of temperature and $d_Al$ demonstrated that (i) type of the $\delta f(T)$ dependence depends significantly on $d_Al$ and (ii) the shift of resonant frequency of the SN structures at temperatures close to the critical temperature Tc cannot be approximated by a functional dependence $const/(1–T/T_c)$, which is typical for thin superconducting films. Numerical calculations performed within the Usadel model describe the observed effects quite well. Thus, the mentioned anomalies of the electrodynamic properties of the SN hybrid structures can be explained by an appearance of a mini-gap in the spectrum of quasi-particle excitation caused by the proximity effect in the normal metal layer, which depends on $d_Al$ as well as by the high conductivity of the Al layer.

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.

A nickel-base superalloy is essentially a Ni/Cr solid solution hardened by additions of Al (Ti, Nb, etc.) to precipitate a coherent, ordered phase. In most commercial alloy systems, e.g. B-1900, IN-100 and Mar-M200, the stable precipitate is Ni3 (Al,Ti) γ′, with an LI2structure. In A lloy 901 the normal precipitate is metastable Nis Ti3 γ′ ; the stable phase is a hexagonal Do2 4 structure. In Alloy 718 the strengthening precipitate is metastable γ″, which has a body-centered tetragonal D022 structure.Precipitate MorphologyIn most systems the ordered γ′ phase forms by a continuous precipitation re-action, which gives rise to a uniform intragranular dispersion of precipitate particles. For zero γ/γ′ misfit, the γ′ precipitates assume a spheroidal.
