A new series of experiments was conducted to determine the source of impurities in the process of silicon crystal growth with electron beam heating. A gas-dynamic window was placed between the electron gun and growth chamber. Also positively-charged traps were placed along the crucible to reduce the number of electrons hitting the chamber and the crucible. Five experiments were conducted: two with the window, two with charge traps, and one with both the window and charge traps. The analysis of obtained samples showed that the gas-dynamic window decreases the content of Al, Cu, Fe, Cr and O2, and the trap, used in the experiments, decreases the content of Fe, Cr and Cu in residues of the melt. The content of all impurities, except Al, is close to the goal level. Al impurities come only from the gun, but the gas-dynamic window cannot eliminate them completely. It seems that Al impurities come either as neutral atoms carried by the gas or as positively charged ions. To reduce these impurities, a separation of the Al flow from the beam by the magnetic field is proposed.

Open biomass burning (OBB) is a significant air pollution source, but it is still not clear to what extent OBB events affect indoor air quality [1]. Outdoor and indoor measurements of submicron particulate matter (PM1) were conducted on 25–29 April (2019) in the capital city Vilnius (Lithuania). Fires from neighbouring countries (Belarus, Ukraine and Russia) and in the vicinity of Vilnius broke out during the measurement campaign. The temporal evolution and transport of OBB plume were investigated by combining the air mass backward trajectory analysis and fire satellite observation (MODIS) database. Measurements of the PM1 chemical composition in real-time were performed using an aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM) and an aethalometer. Organic matter was the clearly dominant component, accounting for >70%, in both indoor and outdoor PM1. The air filtering system of the office building removed approximately up to 55% of PM1. Despite a significantly lower PM1 pollution level in the office, highly acidic indoor PM1 could have harmful effects on the human health. Source apportionment of particulate carbonaceous matter revealed a significant importance of OBB-related particles (average 56%) to indoor air.

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy was used to study potassium niobate (KN) and barium titanate (BT) core– shell-like composites. KN shell was obtained using a solvothermal reaction method. High frequency results show a huge anomaly that is associated with electro-mechanical coupling. We tried to extract spontaneous polarization values using a theoretical model. We also observed little or no evidence of KN-related phase transitions in the dielectric spectra, although infrared measurements showed typical KN spectral features. Furthermore, we show that a small change in the sintering process allows tuning of dielectric permittivity by an order of magnitude.

Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) graphene is commonly recognized as promising 2D material for development of electronic devices. However, the long-term drift of electrical parameters still requires deeper understanding before the technological means can be selected for an individual type of the devices. In this work, the changes in the electrical resistance were investigated over long time in the planar samples based on the CVD graphene with Au and Ni contacts. The samples were arranged as arrays of the resistors on a silicon substrate covered with a 250 nm layer of thermally grown silicon dioxide. The annealing in pure argon gas flow at 573 K was used to return the electrical properties of samples to the initial state. The effects of drift and annealing were compared for the three parts of structures, namely the electrical contact, the graphene sheet and the edge of the metal film with a hanging graphene sheet. For these parts, the resistance changes were related to the strain and doping of supported and hanged parts of the graphene sheet. Raman spectroscopy and Kelvin force probe microscopy were used to characterize charge doping, strain and work function in the graphene. The drift was explained in terms of the most prominent changes in the doping, strain and work function detected within the edge zone of the contact. It was proved that the annealing significantly changed the p-type doping and work function in the graphene layer in this edge zone. The properties were almost independent of test conditions in the SiO2 supported graphene. The changes in the contact parameters produced by drift mechanisms were proved being reversible under proper annealing conditions.

The dielectric properties of Ag0.98Li0.02NbO3 (ALN2) ceramics were investigated in a broad frequency range (20 Hz – 60 THz). The dielectric spectra of ALN2 ceramics are mainly impacted by electrical conductivity at higher temperatures (above 400 K) and low frequencies (below 100 Hz), ferroelectric domains below ferroelectric phase transition temperature Tc = 330 K and at low frequencies (below 1 MHz), and contribution of the soft ferroelectric mode, the frequency of which is below 50 cm–1. All phononic modes are slightly temperature dependent, thus confirming the influence of Ag, O and Li ions dynamics on the phase transitions. However, the most important contribution to the dynamics of phase transition is made by Nb ions. Ceramics exhibits a huge value of dielectric permittivity and relatively low losses in a microwave frequency range (ε΄ ≈ 250 and ε˝ ≈ 20 at 10 GHz and room temperature), indicating that it is suitable for various microwave dielectric applications.

We have experimentally studied supercontinuum generation in an undoped LiSAF crystal using ultraviolet, visible and near infrared pump pulses provided by fundamental and second harmonics of amplified femtosecond Ti:sapphire and Yb:KGW lasers. We have found that the optical degradation of the crystal, manifested by gradual narrowing of the supercontinuum spectrum, starts much faster using infrared pump pulses. This is attributed to the role of impact ionization, which increases with increasing the pump wavelength. The most reliable operation is achieved with the shortest pump wavelength of 400 nm (the second harmonic of a Ti:sapphire laser), where LiSAF produces a stable, almost 1.3 octave-spanning supercontinuum spectrum with a short-wavelength cut-off at 252 nm and shows no apparent optical degradation for one hour of continuous operation at 500 Hz repetition rate without crystal translation.

A classical system, which is analogous to the quantum one with a backflow of probability, is proposed. The system consists of a chain of masses interconnected by springs and attached by other springs to fixed supports. Thanks to the last springs the cutoff frequency and dispersion appears in the spectrum of waves propagating along the chain. It is shown that this dispersion contributes to the appearance of a backflow of energy. In the case of the interference of two waves, the magnitude of this backflow is an order of magnitude higher than the value of probability backflow in the mentioned quantum problem. The equation of Green’s function is considered and it is shown that the backflow of energy is also possible when the system is excited by two consecutive short pulses. This classical backflow phenomenon is explained by the branching of energy flow to local modes that is confirmed by the results for the forced damped oscillator. It is shown that even in such a simple system the backflow of energy takes place (both instantaneous and average).

We study the behaviour of a single electron transistor (SET) represented by a dissipative tunnel junction between a pair of quantum dots described by two (possibly, different) Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) models. A combined influence of the soft collective charge and energy modes on charge transport is discussed, alongside the competing effects of the Coulomb blockade and emergent Kondo resonances which might all conspire to result in a non-monotonic behaviour of the system’s conductance.

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a label-free imaging method that can be used to visualize the detailed arrangement of collagen structures in biological tissues. Here, we sought to optimize the speed of microscopic SHG image acquisition of macroscopic fixed tissue sample areas by employing the wide-field imaging with a high power and medium, 1 MHz pulse repetition frequency laser in combination with a mechanical sample scanning. Unlike in the conventional laser-scanning microscopy, the optimum of the wide-field acquisition entails an interplay between the size of the illuminated area and the intensity of the generated signal. We delineate quantitative procedures to set the image parameters for the maximum speed of the tiled image acquisition, and also describe the possible optimization of the laser parameters for further enhancement of the speed of acquisition.
