The dimensional effect of the accumulation of an electric charge with a density of up to 270 μF/g by the system of compacted zirconium dioxide nanoparticles during exposure in an electric field (5000 V/m) under normal physical conditions is determined. Based on a qualitative complex analysis of the forms of appearance of the effect, it is shown that the place of localization of different charge carriers is the surface of nanoparticles. The supposed mechanism of this effect is considered using the theory of dispersed systems, the band theory, and the theory of contact phenomena in semiconductors. It was concluded that this mechanism is due to the phenomenon of localization of electron-type charge nanoparticles in the near-surface zone of the material in contact with the adsorption ion atmosphere. This effect is relevant for modern nanoelectronics, microsystem technology, and printed electronics.

A non‐mathematical summary is presented of the published theories and observations on dispersion, i.e., variation of velocity with frequency, in surface waves from earthquakes and in waterborne waves from shallow‐water explosions. Two further instances are cited in which dispersion theory has been used in analyzing seismic data. In the seismic refraction survey of Bikini Atoll, information on the first 400 feet of sediments below the lagoon bottom could not be obtained from ground wave first arrival times because shot‐detector distances were too great. Dispersion in the water waves, however, gave data on speed variations in the bottom sediments which made possible inferences on the recent geological history of the atoll. Recent systematic observations on ground roll from explosions in shot holes have shown dispersion in the surface waves which is similar in many ways to that observed in Rayleigh waves from distant earthquakes. Classical wave theory attributes Rayleigh wave dispersion to the modification of the waves by a surface layer. In the case of earthquakes, this layer is the earth’s crust. In the case of waves from shot‐holes, it is the low‐speed weathered zone. A comparison of observed ground roll dispersion with theory shows qualitative agreement, but it brings out discrepancies attributable to the fact that neither the theory for liquids nor for conventional solids applies exactly to unconsolidated near‐surface rocks. Additional experimental and theoretical study of this type of surface wave dispersion may provide useful information on the properties of the surface zone and add to our knowledge of the mechanism by which ground roll is generated in seismic shooting.

The program and results of physical research in the international (5 countries) space experiment «The situation (1 stage)», conducted onboard the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) in the period 27.02.2013 to 09.05.2015, is presented. The methods and scientific tasks of the experiment and the composition of the Plasma-wave complex based on the combined wave diagnostics method are described in detail, and designed to conduct geophysical studies through long-term monitoring measurements of the electromagnetic parameters of the ionosphere plasma and plasma-wave processes associated with the manifestation in the ionosphere of the solar-magnetosphere-ionosphere and ionosphere-atmosphere relationships, i. e., parameters of space weather. Studies in the near-surface zone of plasma-wave processes of interaction of an extra-large spacecraft, like ISS, with the ionosphere are necessary for both applied and fundamental geophysical studies. The electric and magnetic fields and currents measured at the surface of the ISS are determined by the parameters of the surrounding ionosphere plasma and the nature of the interaction of the materials on the surface with this medium. Key words: orbital space station, fundamental space research, ionosphere plasma, plasma-wave processes, electromagnetic fields and radiation, scientific instrument, space weather.

In the region of Siesławice (near Busko-Zdrój, Poland) there are unique phenomena of gypsum karst. Atmospheric factors caused numerous gypsum outcrops, canals and underground voids. The article presents the possibility of using non-invasive gravimetric surveys supplemented with geodetic measurements to illustrate karst changes occurring around the void. The use of modern geodetic measurement techniques including terrestrial and airborne laser scanning enables to generate a digital terrain model and a three-dimensional model of voids. Gravimetric field studies allowed to map the anomalies of the gravitational field of the near-surface zone. Geodetic measurement results have made it possible to accurately determine the terrain correction that supplemented the gravimetric anomaly information. Geophysical interpretation indicate the presence of weathered rocks in the near surface zone and fractures and loosened zones located surround the karst cave.

Formation and non-formation of the rain-impact soil crust were studied experimentally over ranges of surface-slope, drop-size and soil variation. In these contexts, the formative process was found to be very versatile. However, stable particles, of a size just movable on the soil surfaces by raindrops, appear to play a special role in preventing crust development. Becoming juxtaposed on the surface, these particles form clusters which allow hydraulic penetration of water from impacting drops, through their large pores. This maintains loose packing in the near-surface zone as opposed to the compaction associated with crust formation where only small surface pores exist. A method of soil modification, involving increasing the proportion of durable, barely rain-movable particles in soils, is suggested as a means of combating crusting on a long-term basis.

The paper reviews methods of engineering geophysics which can be applied to sections of railway tracks. The method of electrical resistivity tomography is used to study the properties of the geological situation under an engineering structure. In the course of practical work, two-dimensional geoelectric sections were obtained. Interpretation of the sections allowed to understand the structure of the near-surface zone.

In April 2005 the materials science beamline EDDI (Energy Dispersive DIffraction), which the HMI operates at the Berlin synchrotron storage ring BESSY, started user service. The high energy white synchrotron beam up to about 150 keV used for the diffraction experiments is provided by a superconducting 7 Tesla multipole wiggler. Starting with some basic information on the technical parameters of the beamline, its set-up and measuring facilities, the paper focuses on the application of white beam diffraction to the analysis of residual stress fields in the near surface zone of polycrystalline materials. The concept of a program system is introduced, which we offer to our users for preparing and evaluating their measurements performed at the EDDI beamline.

Shot-Peening is used to generate surface-near compressive residual stresses in final shape parts, usually to improve their fatigue properties. The success of the process can be checked in different ways. XRD and Hole-Drilling determine quantitative stress depth profiles in specific locations. Barkhausen noise measurements evaluate a near-surface zone in real-time and can cover large areas quickly. It is a fully nondestructive method. This study compares ESPI Hole-Drilling, which is a very fast technique, and XRD, which is very precise but slower, to Barkhausen Noise results for the case of three steel rings shot-peened with different intensities.

The deformation degrees in near-surface zones and related microstructural changes in CuZn30 were determined after shot peening and ball-burnishing. The induced depths of plastic deformation increase with Almen intensity and rolling pressure in shot peening and ball-burnishing, respectively. As the ball size in burnishing increases, the depth of plastic deformation also increases. The local degrees of cold work within the affected depths were estimated by comparing micro-hardness values, penetration depths of induced slip bands as well as X-ray diffraction peak widths with those measured in blanks cold rolled to fixed degrees of plastic strain. The results clearly indicate that very high local deformation degrees above 80% are typically induced by mechanical surface treatments in areas very close to the surface with this deformation degree gradually decreasing with increasing distance to the surface. Depending on the intensity of ball-burnishing, deformation degrees still of the order of 10% were observed in regions having distances to the surface of as large as 1000 (m.
