Acoustic properties of polycrystalline Cr samples of 99.99 % purity are investigated at frequencies of longitudinal vibrations f ~ 75 kHz and of bending vibrations at 0.6 < f < 1.5 kHz when thermocycling within the temperature interval 5 − 330 K. Special attention is paid to the acoustic anomalies in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transitions: the Néel point and the spin-flip transition. In the as-received samples, a significant hysteresis of the acoustic properties has been found for the first time. The effect of heat treatments on internal friction and elastic properties of chromium polycrystals is also investigated. The data obtained are compared with the effect of small preliminary deformation and а long-time ageing at room temperature on the ultrasound anomalies in Cr single crystal. The observed behavior of the acoustic properties may be caused by changes in the antiferromagnetic domain structure in Cr polycrystals under the action of thermoelastic stresses arising from quenching, preliminary plastic deformation or thermocycling.

Experimental studies were carried out for structural and elastic properties of cobaltites YBaCo4O7+x (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) obtained by various technologies and distinguished by oxygen content. Correlation was revealed between the structure distortion at room temperature and a hysteresis in a ΔE(T)/T0 curve in the temperature range 80 – 280 K, as well as the anomaly value in the region of TN. It was found, that small deviations from stoichiometry (x = 0.1, 0.2) result in suppression of structural transition, reduce a hysteresis, quickly smooth out and reduce anomalies of the Young’s modulus ΔE(T)/T0 in the range of magnetic phase transition. This behavior indicates that structural and magnetic transitions are suppressed in nonstoichiometric samples and only short range correlations of order parameters are retained

An extensive magnetization study in pulsed fields up to 62 T and at temperatures down to ~0.7 K has been performed on the single crystals of hexagonal manganite HoMnO3. For magnetic fields (H) applied along the c-axis, successive magnetic transitions below 10 T and a step-like transition at ~41 T are observed. The phase diagram for H//c is very complex and new phase boundaries are explored below 6 K. This phase diagram is compared with the early results derived from dielectric constant and neutron scattering measurements. For H//a, two magnetic transitions are found below 3 T dome-shaped and the phase diagram is reported for the first time. The variety of magnetic symmetries of the field-induced magnetic phases is discussed.

The electron holes confined to the CuO2-plane are the charge carriers in high-temperature superconductors, and thus, the distribution of charge plays a key role in determining their superconducting properties. While it has been known for a long time that in principle, electron diffraction at low angles is very sensitive to charge transfer, we, for the first time, show that under a proper TEM imaging condition, it is possible to directly image charge in crystals with a large unit cell. We apply this new way of studying charge distribution to the technologically important Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+δ superconductors.Charged particles interact with the electrostatic potential, and thus, for small scattering angles, the incident particle sees a nuclei that is screened by the electron cloud. Hence, the scattering amplitude mainly is determined by the net charge of the ion. Comparing with the high Z neutral Bi atom, we note that the scattering amplitude of the hole or an electron is larger at small scattering angles. This is in stark contrast to the displacements which contribute negligibly to the electron diffraction pattern at small angles because of the short g-vectors.

The influence of recreation being a set of measures to restore health and recreation, on the main components of forest phytocenoses in specially protected natural territories of the Tatishchevsky district of the Saratov region has been studied for the first time. These phytocenoses have been intensively used for tourism for a long time. The intensity and visits activity of protected areas has been determined; the recreational capacity of territorial objects has been studied. The degree of forest landscapes has been revealed in specially protected natural territories. The findings allow predicting the future state of the natural resources of the Saratov region and can be taken into account when assessing their optimal use.

Two isomers pDCzPyCN and oDCzPyCN are designed and synthesized. Amazingly, oDCzPyCN manifest white afterglow at room temperature. This is the first time that single-component white afterglow has finally been realized.
