New Treatment of the Rotary Motion of a Rigid Body with Estimated Natural Frequency

In this paper, the problem of the motion of a rigid body about a fixed point under the action of a Newtonian force field is studied when the natural frequency ω = 0.5 . This case of singularity appears in the previous works and deals with different bodies which are classified according to the moments of inertia. Using the large parameter method, the periodic solutions for the equations of motion of this problem are obtained in terms of a large parameter, which will be defined later. The geometric interpretation of the considered motion will be given in terms of Euler’s angles. The numerical solutions for the system of equations of motion are obtained by one of the well-known numerical methods. The comparison between the obtained numerical solutions and analytical ones is carried out to show the errors between them and to prove the accuracy of both used techniques. In the end, we obtain the case of the regular precession type as a special case. The stability of the motion is considered by the phase diagram procedures.

Graphoanalytical determination of acceleration during regular precession

In this paper, which deals with spherical motion, the additional acceleration from Rivals' theorem is first explained, and then, for regular precession, a graphoanalytic procedure for determining acceleration using ellipses is given. In addition, it is shown how to graphically determine the center of a curve if the observed point is on a plane of symmetry.

Excitation Spectrum of the Néel Ensemble of Antiferromagnetic Nanoparticles as Revealed in Mössbauer Spectroscopy

The excitation spectrum of the Néel ensemble of antiferromagnetic nanoparticles with uncompensated magnetic moment is deduced in the two-sublattice approximation following the exact solution of equations of motion for magnetizations of sublattices. This excitation spectrum represents four excitation branches corresponding to the normal modes of self-consistent regular precession of magnetizations of sublattices and the continuous spectrum of nutations of magnetizations accompanying these normal modes. Nontrivial shape of the excitation spectrum as a function of the value of uncompensated magnetic moment corresponds completely to the quantum-mechanical calculations earlier performed. This approach allows one to describe also Mössbauer absorption spectra of slowly relaxing antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic nanoparticles and, in particular, to give a phenomenological interpretation of macroscopic quantum effects observed earlier in experimental absorption spectra and described within the quantum-mechanical representation.
