This paper examines electrical breakdown in dielectrics and semiconductors through the field dependence of electron mobility and the transfer of electron energy to the crystal lattice. It argues that breakdown occurs when electrons accelerated by a strong electric field transfer sufficient accumulat…
This article examines capacitive currents in three-phase “two wires, earth” power-transmission lines with one grounded phase, focusing on the proposed extension of such DPZ systems from 35 kV to 110 kV for agricultural electrification. Using capacitance formulas and symmetrical-component analysis, i…
In my report, I attempt to answer the following questions, which, from my point of view, are of interest to experimentalists: 1) why the study of semiconductors plays such a major role in the study of solids, 2) which propositions and results of semiconductor theory can be considered sufficiently we…
The purpose of this article is to review the development of concepts concerning the effect of irradiation on the physical properties of solids and, in particular, on the properties of metals. In order to limit the scope of the review, we will not consider chemical changes caused by radiation; for ex…
The purpose of this review is to present the main ideas of applying the group theory method to the quantum physics of solids in a form accessible to a wide range of physicists. Until now, Soviet literature has lacked a sufficiently systematic exposition of this subject. The article covers theoretica…
Report delivered at the Berlin Physical Society on March 18, 1955, Berlin-Charlottenburg.
This work is devoted to presenting the most important experimental data and hypotheses explaining the mechanism of breakdown development in high vacuum. We have limited our task to issues related to the first stage of breakdown in the simplest two-electrode systems. Vacuum breakdown initiated by a s…
From March 31 to April 7, 1955, the All-Union Conference on Quantum Electrodynamics and the Theory of Elementary Particles was held at the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Moscow.
This review presents the principal works published in foreign journals in recent years. Along with them, the works of Soviet researchers are briefly described; these works were reported at the July session of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR on the peaceful use of atomic energy. At the beginning …
In compiling the table, use was made chiefly of works published and abstracted in Physics Abstracts up to September 1954. The table contains nuclear moments, with an indication of the method and accuracy of their measurements. For each moment, the numerical value reported in the literature as the mo…
This review is devoted to the properties of the light isotope of helium He $^3$ at low temperatures. This area of low-temperature physics has undergone significant development in recent years: over the past five years, about 150 experimental and theoretical papers have been published devoted to the …
Text of the 22nd J. Henry Memorial Lecture, delivered on April 22, 1953.
The question of the temperature and concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient in alloys from a microscopic point of view has been considered only recently, and its presentation constitutes the aim of the present article. In particular, effects due to the influence of ordering on diffusio…
A report delivered on December 15, 1954, at a joint meeting of the Division of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and the Division of Technical Sciences of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the death of Academician Leonid Isaakovich Mandelstam.
The word “nuclear” refers to the nucleus of the atom—its central part, where almost the entire mass of the atom is concentrated. The second word, “magnetism,” evokes more familiar concepts, since the magnetic properties of matter have long been known and are familiar to us from everyday experience. …
The absence of relevant reviews in the domestic literature has now led to a noticeable discrepancy in the results of wavelength (or frequency) measurements performed by various researchers, since different and not always sufficiently reliable literature data are used for instrument calibration. Ther…
This review primarily includes data on heavy unstable particles discussed at the Conference in Bagnères-de-Bigorre (June 1953) and at the Padua Conference (April 1954). These data were supplemented by the results of the most important studies carried out later.
Below we briefly outline the theory of the isotope effect, as well as the regularities found in isotope shifts in atomic spectra based on literature data published up to 1955. At the end of the present review, a complete systematic summary of the literature on the isotope effect is provided for the …
This article is devoted to presenting the foundations of this method and its application to various specific problems in the quantum theory of mesons. The main attention is given to general questions of the formulation of the method and to an analysis of the difficulties that arise when attempting t…
In this article, without going into the details of the calculations, we would like to set out the essence of one of the methods for the approximate solution of the many-body problem, which seems to us the most promising and which has been developing most intensively in recent times. The presentation…
A characteristic feature of electronic indicators is the multiplicity of principles for their implementation, which makes it possible to construct various sensors of mechanical quantities adapted to solving diverse problems in experimental technology. The subject of our article is a description of s…
The well-known successes of multiple-beam interference microscopy, which makes it possible to resolve “in depth” objects whose dimensions exceed only a few angstroms, i.e., are of the same order of magnitude as interatomic distances, have prompted broad circles of optical scientists to undertake a s…
