Deformation In A Chiral Bag Model, John W. Hunter Jan 1984

Deformation In A Chiral Bag Model, John W. Hunter

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

A chiral bag model including the effects of quarks, gluons and pions is calculated perturbatively to second order. The bag shape is determined from the requirement that the pressure exerted by the fields be zero at the bag surface. to second order the nucleon is found to be spherical, while the (DELTA) is oblate or prolate for spin projections (VBAR)m(,z)(VBAR) = 3/2, (VBAR)m(,z)(VBAR) = 1/2 respectively. The coupling constants g(,(pi)(DELTA)(DELTA)) and g(,(pi)NN) are calculated and the ratio g(,(pi)(DELTA)(DELTA))/g(,(pi)NN) is an improvement over previous work. The nucleon and (DELTA) magnetic moments are also calculated.


Acoustic Radiation-Induced Static Strain In Single Crystal Silicon, Ka Kui Peter Li Jan 1984

Acoustic Radiation-Induced Static Strain In Single Crystal Silicon, Ka Kui Peter Li

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Quantitative verification of the existence of static acoustic displacements generated by acoustic waves propagating in single crystal samples of intrinsic silicon is presented. Measurements are made of the static displacements generated by 30 MHz acoustic compressional waves propagating along the 111 , 110 , and 100 crystalline directions. From these measurements the nonlinearity parameters are calculated and found to have the value 3.87 along the 111 direction, 4.23 along the 110 direction, and 2.13 along the 100 direction. These results are in agreement with values obtained independently from harmonic generation and pressure derivative measurements. Implications of the present work to …


A Theory Of Associative Detachment, Susan Elizabeth. Haywood Jan 1984

A Theory Of Associative Detachment, Susan Elizabeth. Haywood

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

In this thesis a theory of associative detachment (A('-) + B (--->) AB + e) is presented. The theory is based on the close-coupling theory of Wang and Delos, but is more general in that final states of the nuclei (AB) are treated quantum mechanically. This is necessary since the molecule may be in any one of several vibrational states. The Schroedinger equation is reduced to an infinite set of coupled equations using carefully chosen assumptions. The coupled equations are uncoupled and the resulting equation for the wave function of the negative ion is solved to zero and first …


Late Cenozoic Landforms, Stratigraphy And History Of Sea Level Oscillations Of Southeastern Virginia And Northeastern North Carolina, Pamela Crowson Peebles Jan 1984

Late Cenozoic Landforms, Stratigraphy And History Of Sea Level Oscillations Of Southeastern Virginia And Northeastern North Carolina, Pamela Crowson Peebles

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

A depositional model accounting for the stratigraphic sequences which accumulate during a marine transgression across a dissected coastal plain aids in understanding the geologic history of southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Application of this model to the Shirley Formation (middle Pleistocene) and the Sedgefield and Lynnhaven members of the Tabb Formation (late Pleistocene) allows delineation of (1) the facies within, (2) the areal extent of, and (3) the landforms associated with these lithostratigraphic units. Facies within each lithostratigraphic unit consist of (1) a vertical succession from local, basal, channel-fill deposits and coarse, basal, lag deposits which grade upward into …
