Artificial fireball generation via an erosive discharge with tin alloy electrodes

We propose a method for generation of long-living autonomous fireball-like objects via a pulse erosive discharge between tin alloy electrodes. The objects are similar to the natural ball lightning in some properties, in particular, they have high energy density and are capable to burn through thin metal foils. The dynamics of the objects are studied using high speed videorecording. During their lifetime the fireballs generate aerogel threads. The studies of their structure by scanning electron microscopy reveal the presence of tin oxide nanoparticles and nanowhiskers.

Influence of K, Mg and Fe impurities on the composition, absorption spectra and photovoltaic properties of LiNbO_3 crystals

Photovoltaic response and optical spectra of lithium niobate crystals (LN) grown from K_2O-containing melt and/or doped with Mg and Fe have been studied. It has been found that growing of LN crystals at the presence of K_2O-flux, Mg-doping and increasing of Li/Nb ratio have influence on the physical properties of the crystals, which evidences approaching of the composition of these crystals to the stoichiometric one.
