The studied slags have been found to have close viscosity (η) values over a wide temperature range from 1453 to 1873 K. The results demonstrate that the viscosity decreases with the increase of CaO/SiO2 ratio. Temperature inflection points (T’) are found in the η = f(T) dependence, and they are consistent with the chemical composition of slags below 1453 K. The value of T’ increases with the increase of CaO/SiO2 ratio. The activation energy of viscosity Eη was calculated by using the Frenkel equation. With the increase of temperature, Eη decreases and does not depend on the chemical composition of slags. In the temperature region from 1473 to 1573 K, the temperature dependence of Eη = f(T) demonstrates energy deviations from the trend line indicating the relaxation of structurally sensitive bonds. The results obtained are of practical importance for the selection of rational slags for different metallurgical processes.","PeriodicalId":18144,"journal":{"name":"Lithuanian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44583792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that with an increase in the root mean square (RMS) roughness of rough nanowires, the absorption coefficient decreases in the range of 500–750 nm due to an increase in the reflection effect. When silver nanoparticles are added, peaks appear at the wavelength of 840 nm (for cylindrical nanowires) and 900 nm (for rough nanowires), which indicates the manifestation of the surface plasmon resonance effect.

The stereochemical content of PDMAEMA was determined from the complex shaped 13C MAS signal of CH3 group. The kinetic data were processed using the Hirschinger and Raya spin dynamics model that includes the complete scheme of rotating frame spinlattice relaxation pathways.

The goal of this paper is to investigate possibilities to overcome some of these limitations by means of digital image processing. The research is held on a set of images obtained at different distances from the source of terahertz radiation at 0.1 THz frequency. It is shown that the noise in these images is mixed and has a significant level of spatial correlation. For image quality enhancement a fully automatic denoising method based on the use of a discrete cosine transform with a spatially adapted spectrum is proposed. It is shown that despite an initially low spatial resolution of terahertz images and intensive noise, it provides a good noise reduction with a good preservation of edges, which allows one to noticeably improve the quality of these images and make them more convenient for visual analysis carried out by a human operator.","PeriodicalId":18144,"journal":{"name":"Lithuanian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46231546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional parallel‐biased Ni Zn ferrites employed for varying the frequency of accelerating cavities have the disadvantage of high saturation magnetization (4πMs). Application of the transversely biased yttrium iron garnet (YIG) material in RF tuners promises a significant reduction of power loss compared with systems that use the longitudinal bias. To inject the beam and extract the beam out of the CERN accelerator rings the fast kicker magnets made from ferrite materials must be used. Power deposition in the kicker magnets can be a limitation: if the temperature of the ferrite yoke exceeds the Curie temperature, the beam will not be properly deflected. Investigation of the ferrite electromagnetic properties of materials up to the GHz frequency range is essential for a correct impedance evaluation. This report summarizes an approach for deriving electromagnetic properties as a function of both frequency and temperature of the AL-800 garnet material. This information will be useful for simulating ferrite behaviour under realistic operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":18144,"journal":{"name":"Lithuanian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47219286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
