Infrared Related Solid State Studies, Donald George Rathbun Jan 1968

Infrared Related Solid State Studies, Donald George Rathbun

Masters Theses

"Infrared reflectivity measurements have been made on single crystal CdS. Classical dispersion analysis has been used in an analysis of the data to obtain the index of refraction, the extinction index, and the dispersion parameters. These are compared with previously published results. The procedure used in this analysis has been outlined for future reference. Also, the shallow donor impurity theory has been used to numerically calculate the d±1 levels for Si and Ge. The theory is extended for the case of the impurity in the bulk semiconductor and the d₀, d±2 and, for high n, the s, p₀, …


Electronic Transitions In Diatomic Molecules, James O. Hornkohl Jan 1968

Electronic Transitions In Diatomic Molecules, James O. Hornkohl

Masters Theses

"The electronic transition moments of many band systems have been found to be linear functions of the internuclear distance. However, some band systems exhibit a quadratic variation of the transition moment. In these quadratic cases, the plots from which the variation of the transition moment is determined are based upon the approximation of the second r-centroid by the square of the first r-centroid. The square of the first r-centroid does closely approximate the second r-centroid by a simple error analysis shows that the small difference between the two is not a quantitative measure of the error introduced into the transition …


A Study Of Bifeo₃ And The Hall Effect In Bifeo₃ And Cds, Fred Hoerger Taylor Jan 1968

A Study Of Bifeo₃ And The Hall Effect In Bifeo₃ And Cds, Fred Hoerger Taylor

Masters Theses

"Pure samples of BiFeO₃ were heat treated in oxygen and nitrogen atmospheres in an attempt to reduce the conductivity of the samples. Dielectric constant and dissipation factor measurements, as a function of frequency, were made to determine whether the samples had been altered. A special high temperature Hall effect apparatus was constructed. Using this apparatus an upper limit for the Hall mobility in BiFeO₃ was established. The apparatus was also used for room temperature measurements of Ga-doped CdS samples. Resistivity measurements to be used with the Hall effect results were made on both the BiFeO₃ and the CdS samples. Hot-Point …


A Study Of Bismuth Ferrate And Bismuth Manganate In Solid Solution With Lead Titanate, Harris C. Jones Jan 1968

A Study Of Bismuth Ferrate And Bismuth Manganate In Solid Solution With Lead Titanate, Harris C. Jones

Masters Theses

"A new sample holder for measuring the high frequency dielectric constant of ferroelectrics at high temperature was constructed. The new sample holder eliminated discontinuities in the slotted line and improved the electrical contact between the ceramic and brass components. Measurements of the high frequency dielectric constant of an aged sample of 90% BiFeO₃ - 10% PbTiO₃ were made as a function of temperature using the slotted line technique. The dissipation function for the aged sample was found to have a more normal behavior near the Curie point than the virgin samples previously measured. Resistivity measurements were made as a function …


Absolute Specification Of X-Ray Spectra By Laplace Transform Analysis Of Attenuation Data, Gerald Robert Lusk Jan 1968

Absolute Specification Of X-Ray Spectra By Laplace Transform Analysis Of Attenuation Data, Gerald Robert Lusk

Masters Theses

"A well characterized, variable plate separation ion chamber was utilized as a detector to collect x-ray attenuation data for generating information on the Laplace transform predicted spectrum of a 50 KvCP conventional x-ray tube. The variable plate separation feature allows one to include a wavelength dependent correction to the detector response which is associated with the hardening of the x-ray spectrum as it traverses the attenuating material. With this correction, the conventional two-term Laplace transform was shown to approximate independently the bremsstrahlung and characteristic L radiation from the tungsten target. The detector provides an absolute statement of the target-referenced x-ray …
