Surface-To-Surface Transition Via Electromagnetic Coupling Of Coplanar Waveguides, Robert W. Jackson, David W. Matolak Nov 1987

Surface-To-Surface Transition Via Electromagnetic Coupling Of Coplanar Waveguides, Robert W. Jackson, David W. Matolak

Faculty Publications

A transition is investigated which couples coplanar waveguide on one substrate surface (a motherboard) to coplanar waveguide on another substrate surface (a semiconductor chip or subarray) placed above the first. No wire bonds are necessary. A full-wave analysis using coupled line theory is presented and verified experimentally. The use of this transition for coupling to millimeter-wave integrated circuits is discussed.


Normal-Metal Aharonov-Bohm Effect In The Presence Of A Transverse Electric Field, S. Washburn, H. Schmid, D. Kern, Richard A. Webb Oct 1987

Normal-Metal Aharonov-Bohm Effect In The Presence Of A Transverse Electric Field, S. Washburn, H. Schmid, D. Kern, Richard A. Webb

Faculty Publications

The effects of transverse electric fields on the conductance fluctuations in an Sb loop have been studied. We show that the electric field can be used to tune the position (or phase) of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations as well as to alter the aperiodic conductance fluctuation patterns. We disucss two mechanisms which might cause the observed dependence of the fluctuation pattern on transverse electric field. The first is the electrostatic Aharonov-Bohm effect, and the second is the spatial shifting of the electron trajectories by the electric field.

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell Oct 1987

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

The problem addressed is this: Do there exist nonconsecutive integers n0, n1, n2, . . ., such that the second differences of the squares of the ni are constant? Specifically, can that constant be equal to 2? A complete characterization of sequences of length four can be given. The question of whether or not sequences of length five exist is still open but the existence or nonexistence of such sequences can be described in a more algorithmic way than the simple statement of the problem.

Observation Of An Oxygen Isotope Effect In Yba2Cu3O7, Kevin J. Leary, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, Steven W. Keller, Tanya A. Faltens, William K. Ham, James N. Michaels, Angelica M. Stacy Sep 1987

Observation Of An Oxygen Isotope Effect In Yba2Cu3O7, Kevin J. Leary, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, Steven W. Keller, Tanya A. Faltens, William K. Ham, James N. Michaels, Angelica M. Stacy

Faculty Publications

A small decrease in Tc of 0.3 K to 0.5 K is observed when as much as 90% of the 16O in YBa2Cu3O7 is substituted with18O. This result is consistent with our observation that there is an oxygen isotope effect in La1.85Sr0.15CuO4, but in contrast with previous reports that there is no isotope effect for YBa2Cu3O7. This new result suggests that phonons play an important role in the electron-pairing mechanism in YBa2Cu3O7.

Observation Of An Isotope Shift In The Superconducting Transition Temperature Of La1.85Sr0.15Cuo4, Tanya A. Faltens, William K. Ham, Steven W. Keller, Kevin J. Leary, James N. Michaels, Angelica M. Stacy, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, Donald E. Morris, T W. Barbee Iii, Marvin L. Cohen, Cohen S. Hoen, A Zettl

Faculty Publications

An oxygen isotope shift is observed in superconducting La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 when 18O is substituted partially for 16O; the superconducting transition temperature Tc is lowered by 0.3 to 1.0 K in different samples. We examine these results using conventioanl phonon-mediated BCS theory and conclude that, for La1.85Sr0.15CuO4, phonons play an important role in the pairing mechanism.


The Impact Of The Supreme Court On Trends In Economic Policy Making In The United States Courts Of Appeals, Donald R. Songer Aug 1987

The Impact Of The Supreme Court On Trends In Economic Policy Making In The United States Courts Of Appeals, Donald R. Songer

Faculty Publications

Previous impact research has primarily investigated controversial civil liberties decisions. The present study examines the response of the United States Courts of Appeals to changes in the labor and antitrust policies announced by the Supreme Court between 1950 and 1977. Significant impact was discovered. In each policy area, the decisional trends of the courts of appeals underwent a significant change after each of two policy shifts on the Supreme Court. Changes in the decisional trends of the courts of appeal were in the predicted direction even after controls were introduced for judges' party and holdover effects.

Length-Independent Voltage Fluctuations In Small Devices, A. Benoit, C. P. Umbach, R. B. Laibowitz, Richard A. Webb Jun 1987

Length-Independent Voltage Fluctuations In Small Devices, A. Benoit, C. P. Umbach, R. B. Laibowitz, Richard A. Webb

Faculty Publications

Conductance fluctuations in one-dimensional lines of length L shorter than the phase-coherence length Lφ are not universal but diverge as L-2. Using the Onsager relations and voltage additivity, we show that the voltage fluctuations are independent of the distance between voltage probes. The antisymmetric (Hall-type) contribution to the voltage fluctuations is constant for all values of L. Measurements of the voltage fluctuations and correlation function between different regions in Au and Sb lines confirm these results.


Search For Isotope Effect In Superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O, L C. Bourne, M F. Crommie, A Zettl, Hans Conrad Zur Loye, S W. Keller, K L. Leary, Angelica M. Stacy, K J. Chang, Marvin L. Cohen, Donald E. Morris Jun 1987

Faculty Publications

An isotope effect has been searched for in the high-Tc, superconductor YBa2Cu307 —b through substitution of 180 for 16O. No shift in the superconducting transition temperature T, is observed by electrical resistivity or magnetic susceptibility measurements. We discuss the implications of this result for mechanisms of superconductivity in the high-T, oxides.


Effect Of Phosphate On The Kinetics And Specificity Of Glycation Of Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Carolyn I. Neglia-Fisher, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes May 1987

Effect Of Phosphate On The Kinetics And Specificity Of Glycation Of Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Carolyn I. Neglia-Fisher, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

The glycation (nonenzymatic glycosylation) of several proteins was studied in various buffiner os rder to assess the effects of buffering ions on the kinetics and specificity of glycation of protein. Incubation of RNase with glucose in phosphate buffer resulted in inactivation of the enzyme because of preferential modification of lysine residues ino r near the activsei te. In contrast, in the cationic buffers, 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid and 3-(N-tris(hydroxymethyl)rnethylamino)- 2-hydroxypropanesulfonica cid, the kineticso f glycation of RNase were decreased 2- to 3-fold, there was a decrease in glycation of active site versus peripheral lysines, and the enzyme was resistant to inactivation by …

A Review Of Mathematical Modeling Of The Zinc/Bromine Flow Cell And Battery, T. I. Evans, Ralph E. White Jan 1987

A Review Of Mathematical Modeling Of The Zinc/Bromine Flow Cell And Battery, T. I. Evans, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Mathematical models which have been developed to study various aspects of the zinc/bromine cell and stack of cells are reviewed. Development of these macroscopic models begins with a material balance, a transport equation which includes a migration term for charged species in an electric field, and an electrode kinetic expression. Various types of models are discussed: partial differential equation models that can be used to predict current and potential distributions, an algebraic model that includes shunt currents and associated energy losses and can be used to determine the optimum resistivity of an electrolyte, and ordinary differential equation models that can …

The effect of changes in the kinetic parameters on the polarization curves is demonstrated and special attention is focused on the production of hydrogen peroxide.


A Mathematical Model Of A Zinc/Bromine Flow Cell, T. I. Evans, Ralph E. White Jan 1987

A Mathematical Model Of A Zinc/Bromine Flow Cell, T. I. Evans, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for a zinc/bromine flow cell. The model includes a thin porous layer on the bromine electrode and a porous separator. The independent parameters of the porous layer are defined, and their effect on cell performance during charge and discharge is investigated. The dependence of the round trip energy efficiency on the thickness of the porous layer and mode of discharge is presented. The predictions of the model show that a maximum round trip energy efficiency of 70% should be possible under the design conditions considered.


A Mathematical Model For The Initial Corrosion Rate Of A Porous Layer On A Rotating Disk Electrode, William E. Ryan, Ralph E. White, S. L. Kelly Jan 1987

A Mathematical Model For The Initial Corrosion Rate Of A Porous Layer On A Rotating Disk Electrode, William E. Ryan, Ralph E. White, S. L. Kelly

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for the initial corrosion rate of a porous layer on a rotating disk electrode. The model is used to predict the corrosion potential and corrosion current density for a porous electrode made of pure iron in aerated caustic solutions. The dependence of these predictions on some of the properties of the porous layer is presented. It is shown that the corrosion rate depends significantly on the specific surface area of the porous electrode.
