The Nature of a Defective Layer in Samples of Molecularly Doped Polymers
The shape of time-of-flight curves in the mode of subsurface irradiation of samples with lowenergy electrons is analyzed for free_standing films of a typical molecularly doped polymer of different thicknesses (11–45 μm). Special attention is paid to comparison of curves registered for both sides of the samples. The data confirm the hypothesis that the defective layer is formed owing to sublimation of dopant molecules during sample preparation and qualitatively agree with predictions of the two_layer multiple_trapping model.

Transient current curves were recorded for polystyrene and polycarbonate doped with 15 wt % tritolylamine using both surface and volume charge carrier generation. The multiple trapping model was used to perform numerical calculations of time-of-flight curves for the published Gaussian disorder model parameters. The calculation results were compared with the experimental data. It was shown that the experimental and calculated curves satisfactorily coincided. The flat plateau observed in time-of-flight curves should not be associated with the establishment of a quasi-equilibrium transport regime.
The dynamics of a two-component Davydov-Scott (DS) soliton with a small mismatch of the initial location or velocity of the high-frequency (HF) component was investigated within the framework of the Zakharov-type system of two coupled equations for the HF and low-frequency (LF) fields. In this system, the HF field is described by the linear Schrödinger equation with the potential generated by the LF component varying in time and space. The LF component in this system is described by the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a term of quadratic influence of the HF field on the LF field. The frequency of the DS soliton`s component oscillation was found analytically using the balance equation. The perturbed DS soliton was shown to be stable. The analytical results were confirmed by numerical simulations.
Radiation conditions are described for various space regions, radiation-induced effects in spacecraft materials and equipment components are considered and information on theoretical, computational, and experimental methods for studying radiation effects are presented. The peculiarities of radiation effects on nanostructures and some problems related to modeling and radiation testing of such structures are considered.
