The modeling of the process of low-temperature propane oxidation taking into account the above external factors was carried out within the framework of the mathematical theory of a point explosion in gases, which allowed consideration of the possibilities for the formation of shock fronts. 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. The phenomenon is explained as the formation of a flame front during initiation in the center of the reaction vessel, and mercury vapor reflects the thermal radiation of the reaction to the center of the vessel. When the amount of energy is sufficient for a point explosion, a shock front is generated.</p>","PeriodicalId":623,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Physics (Armenian Academy of Sciences)","volume":"58 3","pages":"245 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139053539","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 Ni concentration in the carbon matrix varied in the range of 0–12 wt %, the sizes of the average diameter of nanoparticles in different samples were from 4 to 40 nm. The paramagnetism of the surface and near-surface atoms of Ni nanoparticles, which is due to the charge transfer from the carbon matrix with the formation of Ni ions has been studied in detail. 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.
