    Notes: Abstract The dynamics of the formation of ordered structures of macroparticles charged by photoemission under the action of solar radiation under microgravitational conditions without the use of electrostatic traps to confine the particles is studied experimentally and theoretically. The working conditions needed for the formation of structures of charged macroparticles are chosen as a result of a numerical solution of the problem posed, the particle charges and the interparticle interaction parameter are determined, and the characteristic times specifying the dynamics of the formation of an ordered system of macroparticles are calculated. The behavior of an ensemble of macroparticles under the effect of solar radiation is observed experimentally on board the Mir space station. An analysis and comparison of the results of the experimental and theoretical investigations permit drawing a conclusion regarding the possibility of the existences of extended ordered formations of macroparticles charged by photoemission under microgravitational conditions.

    Notes: Abstract Three experiments on the tellurium recrystallization by a modified Bridgman method were performed under microgravity conditions on board the Mir orbital space laboratory using a ChSK-1 Kristallizator furnace. The physical properties of samples were studied, including the final crystal structure, the distribution of impurities and defects, and the charge carrier concentration and mobility. The results were compared to the analogous parameters of crystals remelted using the same method under the normal gravity conditions. It is established that the samples recrystallized in a close volume under the on-board microgravity conditions “break off” from the container walls and touch the walls only in a few points. This circumstance gives rise to special effects, such as the growth of crystals with a free surface and deep supercooling. Study of the distribution of electrically active impurities over the length of ingots shows evidence of the presence of thermocapillary convective flows in the melt under the microgravity conditions. The flows tend to increase upon separation of the melt from the container walls. The contributions due to impurities and electrically active structural defects to the charge carrier distribution are taken into account. The single-crystal sample obtained upon the partial recrystallization of tellurium in a close container volume under the on-board microgravity conditions exhibits the electrical characteristics comparable to those of a crystal grown by the Czochralski technique under the normal gravity conditions.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of small inclinations and low-amplitude rocking on thermal convection in an air-filled cube with sides 3 cm long has been investigated experimentally and numerically for steady and periodic heating from above. Expressions have been obtained for the dependence of the temperature difference between two points inside the cube on the angle of inclination, the applied vertical temperature difference, the rocking frequencies and the oscillations of the heating power. The possibility of estimating the magnitude and direction of the microacceleration vector on the basis of temperature field measurements made under orbital flight conditions is discussed.
