As a result of comprehensive studies of ionic conductivity, mechanical characteristics and formation features of multilayer gas-tight membranes based on anion conductor of stabilized ZrO2, an industrial technology for manufacturing trilayer membranes of 6ScSZ|10Sc1YSZ|6ScSZ composition, sized 100x100 mm and 150 μm thick for first-generation high efficiency SOFCs is developed and introduced.
In May 2022 under technical specifications TS 23.44.12.190-193-30742093-2022 at JSC "NEVZ-CERAMICS" (Novosibirsk) production of three-layer membranes was launched, which are the basis of SOFC on the electrolyte carrier (see Figure 1).
In order to develop an industrial technology for manufacturing two-layer anode SOFC supports on a carrier anode, charge transfer processes, the course of redox reactions, and the mechanical characteristics of SOFC anodes are studied [1-2].

The atomic and electron structure of graphene on β-SiC(001) layers has been functionalyzed with molecules of phenazine dye Neutral Red and studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, density functional theory, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS).
According to scanning tunneling spectroscopy, the dye molecules form local short-range ordered structures on small areas of the surface and can be oriented both parallel and perpendicular to the graphene layers.
In the first case, the molecules form dimeric structures, while in the second, they form structures with a rectangular or oblique-angled unit cell.
It has been found that modification of the graphene upper layer leads to the appearance of the band gap exceeding 1 eV, which allows us to consider the synthesized layered composite a low-dimensional metal/semiconductor type heterostructure.
It is shown that local changes in the band gap width on the surface can be related to molecule deformations in the composite structure.

Essence. The concept, structure and technology of Metal-Supported Monopolar Solid Oxide Fuel Cells – MMS-SOFC has been developed.
Novelty. The technological process of SOFC fabrication has been significantly simplified by reducing the number of technological operations and intermediate heat treatments, as a result of using impact aerosol deposition (AD) of the anode on high-relief porous metal supports, magnetron sputtering (MSP) of solid electrolyte and cathode stenciling with a single final annealing.
New monopolar designs have been proposed that provide a significant increase in gravimetric and volumetric power densities of SOFC metal-supported blocks.
Validity. The proposed technology is the basis for mass production of metal-supported SOFCs, and the proposed design of monopolar SOFC blocks allows their usage in developing mobile electrochemical generators both for operable land transport and for unmanned aircraft and underwater vehicles.

For the first time, surface tension of the Cd0.9Zn0.1Te melt as a function of argon pressure is measured [1].
Stalagmometric method designed for real conditions of AIIBVI crystal growth by vertical zone melting was applied, using a stalagmometer developed at ISSP RAS [2].
It is shown that the obtained dependence, graphically represented in the figure, complies with the Shishkovsky equation
Table. Coefficients of the Shyshkovsky equation
| γ0, mN/m | a, mN/m | b × 106, m2/N |
|---|---|---|
| 276.8 | 70.7 | 1.75 |
Using the coefficients of the Shishkovsky equation obtained from the experimental data allowed us to determine the adsorption constant of argon equal to 2.74-106 cm3/mol (assuming that the solution of argon in the melt is perfect).
The results are crucial for growing Cd0,9Zn0,1Te crystals that are used in semiconductor ionizing radiation detectors.

A method for producing a ceramic composite material based on silicon carbide and molybdenum silicide has been developed.
It lies in obtaining multifunctional silicon carbide ceramics [Shikunov S.L., Kurlov V.N., Shikunova I.A. Patent RF № 2573146] based on the interaction of silicon melt with carbon, located in a pre-prepared blank of a certain composition and porosity.
When preparing a composition of carbon powders of various fractions and a coking binder, molybdenum powder is added to the furnace blend.
After mixing and pressing/forming the carbon-metal blank, the molybdenum particles are evenly distributed throughout its volume.
During saturation with silicon melt (silicification), silicon reacts both with the carbon of the blank to form a spatial SiC framework, and with molybdenum particles to form silicide.
The ceramic composite material obtained by this method with a bonded SiC framework and molybdenum silicide integrated into it has increased strength and creep resistance at high temperatures and under heavy loads.

The Institute of Solid State Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences has created a new group of heat-resistant alloys for applications at temperatures above 1200°C.
Structurally, the new materials are natural composites in which molybdenum-based solid solutions play the role of the matrix and refractory carbides are the strengthening phases.
Experimental batches of new materials are produced at the experimental technological base of ISSP RAS.
High-temperature mechanical tests of the new alloys showed their ability to withstand heavy loads at temperatures of 1200° and above for several thousand hours.

Deformation alloying of solid-state items is fundamentally different from previously known thermo-diffusion, laser and plasma treatment, and ion implantation.
In essence, it means dynamic deformation of the near-surface layer with simultaneous application of an alloying agent to the surface.
The deformation is performed by ball or roller rolling or by sliding a solid indentor.
The advantages of this method are as follows.
1) It does not require special conditions such as elevated temperature, vacuum or special atmosphere. The process can be performed in field conditions, even underwater, should the need for the alloying arise.
2) The alloying rate and depth is hundreds of microns in tens of minutes, which is significantly better than thermo-diffusion or implantation.
3) By selecting the deformation parameters it is possible not only to regulate the depth and speed of alloying, but also to form periodic superstructures, which opens up new possibilities for optics and electronics.
4) Deformation alloying allows introduction of soft polymers to form fundamentally new properties, which is not achievable with other alloying methods.

At millikelvin temperatures, using the Andreev reflection study, we show the emergence of superconductivity at the interface between a normal metal (gold) and a topological Dirac semimetal.
The latter was Cd3As2 as the most studied Dirac semimetal and the new compound NiTe2, which has been gaining popularity lately.
Both compounds are not superconducting in bulk under experimental conditions, as is the planar gold lead.
We have demonstrated that the emergence of interface superconductivity is universal and irrespective of the specifics of the realizations of electrode-dirac semimetal contact.
This allows to assert the emergence of surface superconductivity at the normal-metal-dirac-semimetal interface due to the formation of a flat band in the spectrum, which was predicted theoretically.
Since flat-zone formation is closely related to the formation of surface states in Dirac semimetals, we confirm our claim by directly observing the diode effect for the Josephson current, which is related to the momentum shift in the topological surface state inder in-plane magnetic field.

We demonstrate polarization state control by electron transport through the interface between thin layers of SnSe and WTe2, which can be used to create ultrafast switches and new memory elements.
We fabricate SnSe/WTe2 heterostructure, WTe2 being a polar metal with ferroelectric polarization perpendicular to WTe2 layers, while SnSe ferroelectric semiconductor is polarized in-plane.
Sharp symmetric drop of differential conductance to zero at some threshold bias voltages is demonstrated, which corresponds with 90° change in ferroelectric polarization curve at the interface in the initially in-plane polarized SnSe layer.
Thus, we demonstrate polarization state control by applying small gate voltages to the structure.
Also, SnSe/WTe2 heterostructure shows re-entrant transition to the low-conductive structural state at abrupt change of the bias voltage even below the threshold values. This allows ultrafast switching in the structure to be realized.

A sapphire cryoprobe for superficial cryoablation of biological tissues has been developed that allows estimation of tissue freezing depth.
The monotoring is enabled by optical fibers accommodated inside the rod and connected to the source and the detector, and is based on detecting spatially resolved diffuse reflected intensities of tissue optical response.
Four fiber channels of tissue illumination are used, located at different distances from the detection channel. Experimental approbation performed on a test sample demonstrated the possibility of estimating tissue freezing depth up to 10 mm.
The developed cryoprobe improves the efficiency of cryosurgical treatment because it does not require additional methods and imaging tools to assess the movement of the ice front in the tissue.

It is shown that the T-x projection of the miscibility gap in solid interstitial MeHx solutions will be symmetric and the pressure vs. temperature dependence of the corresponding isomorphic phase transformation will be determined by the reaction Me + (z/2)H2 = MeHz with a fixed z value attained at T → 0 K, if the mixing Gibbs energy of the solutions is a symmetric two-well function of the H content with a maximum at z/2.
Reducing the problem of thermodynamic equilibrium between phases of variable composition to the problem with phases of constant composition and the use of literature data for pure metal Me and hydride MeHz allowed us to establish that it is the symmetry of the miscibility gap (Fig. A) that is a sufficient condition for linearity of the experimental dependences of the standard Gibbs energy ΔG0(T) for isomorphic transformation in the Pd-H and Pd-D systems (z = 0.63, Fig. B) and in the Ni-H and Ni-D systems (z = 1) within the whole investigated temperature range up to the critical point (the critical points are shown by asterisks in Fig. B).
Before that, no reason for the linearity of the dependence ΔG0(T) for the formation of palladium hydride could not be found for several decades.

Engineering chiral optical microcavities is a central concept of modern nano-photonics, allowing full control over the polarization of limited electromagnetic modes.
Here, we demonstrate for the first time a compact source of coherent radiation based on an electrically driven, chiral semiconductor microcavity with electric pumping - Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL).
The device is composed of an AlAs/(Al,Ga)As microcavity containing multiple GaAs quantum wells in the active region and a chiral photonic crystal slab etched in the upper distributed Bragg reflector (see Fig. 1).
The structure promotes laser oscillation with a narrow spectral and angular emission distribution under electrical current injection in the near-infrared spectral range (ω≃1.565eV) and degrees of circular polarization exceeding 90% in some modes (see Figure 2).
The sense of circular polarization of laser generation is controlled by the handedness of the chiral photonic crystal slab and changes to the opposite one in a mirror-symmetrical structure.
The conventional method of producing circularly polarized emission using quarter-wave slabs made of birefringent materials does not meet the requirements of compactness and compatibility with semiconductor technologies for making nanophotonic elements and circuits.
Our results represent an important step towards practical realization of compact circularly polarized light sources without the application of an external magnetic field or the use of spin-polarized pumping.

PMMA-SiO2 hybrid core-shell particles and hollow SiO2 particles were synthesized according to a newly introduced method.
It allows to obtain hollow silicon dioxide particles of submicron sizes of a given diameter in the range of 100-1000 nm with an accuracy of 10 nm and a shell thickness of 5-100 nm with an accuracy of ± 2 nm (see Fig. 1).
Electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction methods were used to study changes in the morphology and structure of PMMA-SiO2 core-shell particles during their transformation into hollow SiO2 particles during heat treatment [1].
The results can be used for engineering of: a white pigment to replace TiO2 in foods and medicaments, nanocontainers for targeted medicament delivery, new effective catalysts, new composite materials with increased thermal resistance, reduced density and thermal conductivity, to store hydrogen in a molecular form and for solving other urgent problems of materials science.

It is shown for the first time that a two-dimensional Llieb lattice, or a line-centetred square lattice is unstable with respect to certain correlated displacements of the edge atoms from the lattice sites along the edges.
The reason lies in the decrease in the electron energy due to such displacements.
At weak instability, the decrease in the electron energy does not exceed the increase in the elastic energy of the ion lattice, which gives rise to anharmonic phonons and soft phonon modes.
In the case of a pronounced instability, when the electron energy decrease does exceed the increase in the elastic energy of the ion lattice, the energy of the edge atoms takes the form of a double-well potential. The quantum tunneling of edge atoms between equilibrium positions results in the formation of quantum tunneling modes.
The extension of the model under study to the three-dimensional lattices, for example, perovskites and hydrogen-bonded lattices, is considered possible. It can be applied to a broad range of issues, from the problem of high-temperature superconductors and the problem of rapid proton transport, to various physical processes in biological compounds.

A new mechanism of thinning of freely suspended smectic liquid crystals at a temperature above the temperature of the Smectic-A–isotropic liquid bulk phase transition is discovered.
The thinning effect of freely suspended nanofilms was discovered by an American group in 1994 (Stoebe et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 1994) and was later being actively researched both experimentally and theoretically.
We show that the thinning transition can not only be linked with the film instability, as was considered before, but also with instability in the area where the film is adjacent to the bulk sample (traditionally called a meniscus, as with liquids).
We also show that near the thinning transitions substantial changes in the shape and size of the meniscus can occur (see Fig.1).
Due to instability a thinner region is formed in the meniscus, which can induce the thinning of the whole nanofilm.
Such meniscus instability induced nanofilm thinning differs from that previously described or predicted in experimental and theoretical works.

Raman spectroscopy allowed for the first time to examine the thermal stability of saturated solid solutions of molecular hydrogen in silica glass containing 0.58 to 0.7 moles of H2 per 1 mole of SiO2 at normal pressure.
At T=143÷190 K, an exponential irreversible decrease in the relative intensity of the rotational modes of the H2 molecule with annealing time was observed, associated with hydrogen desorption (left panel of Figure 1).
The time constants obtained from these dependencies decrease with increasing temperature, according to the Arrhenius equation τ(T)=A*exp(EA/kBT), where τ is the exponential decay time constant, 1/kBT is the inverse annealing temperature, EA =(0.16±0.01) eV is activation energy, A=(2.7±0.3)×10-2 sec is time constant, kB is Boltzmann constant (right-hand panel of Figure 1).
Using these data, it was determined that the hydrogen content of quartz glass hydrides should halve in 17 years of storage at liquid nitrogen temperature or in 10 seconds at room temperature.
The instability of quartz glass hydrides at room temperature is related to the weak Van der Waals interaction of hydrogen molecules with the silicon and oxygen atoms of quartz glass.
