The seismicity review of Kamchatka and surrounding territories for 2014 is given. In Kamchatka earthquake catalogue minimum local magnitude of completeness is MLmin=3.5, and for earthquakes under the Okhotsk sea with h≥350 kmMLmin=3.6. The Kamchatka earthquake catalogue for 2014 with ML3.5, published in the Appendix to this annual, includes 1114 events. 86 earthquakes of the catalogue with ML=3.35–6.2 were felt in Kamchatka and surrounding areas with seismic intensity I ranged from 2 to 5 according the MSK-64 scale. For all events with ML5.0 occurred in the area of responsibility of the KB GS RAS in 2014, an attempt to calculate the seismic moment tensor (SMT) was made. There are 40 such events in the regional catalogue. For 36 earthquakes, the SMT and depth h of the equivalent point source were calculated successfully. The calcu-lations were performed for the SMT double-couple model using a nonlinear algorithm. In 2014, a typical location of the earthquake epicenters was observed in the Kamchatka zone. In 2014, the seismicity level in all selected zones and in the region as a whole corresponded to the background one according to the “SESL’09” scale. The number of recorded events with ML3.6 and strong earthquakes with ML5.1 is close to the average annual value. Anomalous and outstanding events were not recorded.
We have studied the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Eu 3+ ions and the decay kinetics for the photoluminescence intensity on exposure to temperature and UV radiation in polypropylene and oligo(urethane methacrylate) (OUM) doped with Eu(fod) 3 molecules (fod = 6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octadione) by soaking in a supercritical CO 2 solution. We have established that the decay kinetics for the photoluminescence intensity on exposure to UV radiation depends on the temperature of the sample and the concentration of the dopant in it. Based on studies of the spectral characteristics of doped OUM samples, we suggest that this material can be used as a two-color luminescent temperature sensor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
