For numerical computations, the computer program PTS Mathcad Prime 3.1 was used. The results obtained show the possibility of the formation of shock fronts because of the initiation of the process when the reaction medium is exposed to the vacuum UV radiation and mercury vapor and at a certain symmetry of the reaction vessel. The reflection of thermal radiation of the reaction medium and active particles by mercury atoms (vapors) because of their neutrality and focusing of thermal radiation to the center of the reactor because of the symmetry of the reaction vessel, allows one to apply the theory of thermal development of a chain process and to determine the values of parameters for the point explosion.

A method for determining the blocking temperature of superparamagnets in temperature measurements of the paramagnetic susceptibility in the case of high magnetic fields is considered. The magnetic characteristics, which reflect size effects in SQUID magnetometry and FMR, exhibit “anomalous” deviations in the range of ultrasmall particles. These are high values of the blocking temperature, high values of the coercive force, and the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth, as well as a significant shift of the effective g-factor in the FMR spectra. Generalizing equations are presented that include the contributions of the surface magnetic anisotropy along with the bulk magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which is consistent with the experimental results over the entire investigated range from 4 to 40 nm. It is shown that the parameters of the total magnetic resonance spectra (FMR + ESR) are caused by the ferromagnetism of the core of nickel nanoparticles and the paramagnetism of surface and near-surface Ni ions, as well as π-electrons of the organic matrix.
