Theory Of Nucleation Of Water Properties Of Some Clathrate Like Cluster Structures, Mehdi Daee
Theory Of Nucleation Of Water Properties Of Some Clathrate Like Cluster Structures, Mehdi Daee
Doctoral Dissertations
"The tranquility of classical homogeneous nucleation theory has been disturbed by the introduction of statistical mechanical correction factors to a basically thermodynamic theory. These factors, which appear to be essential, destroy much of the agreement with experiment in the case of water vapor. A molecular model for the pre-nucleation water clusters is proposed with a view toward resolving some of these difficulties. As a first step, the Properties of a few specific cluster configurations have been examined. Clathrate-like structures containing 16 to 57 water molecules are discussed. The hydrogen bonds were treated as simple harmonic oscillators for the purpose of …
Thermal Expansivity And Refractive Index Determinations For Some Hydrosol Systems And Their Similarity To Properties Ascribed To "Anomalous" Water, Gerald Wayne Chappue
Thermal Expansivity And Refractive Index Determinations For Some Hydrosol Systems And Their Similarity To Properties Ascribed To "Anomalous" Water, Gerald Wayne Chappue
Masters Theses
"The characteristic thermal expansion and refractive index of aqueous dispersions of SiO₂ and NaOH were determined for samples contained in quartz micro-capillaries. Comparison is made with the expansivity and refractive properties of anomalous water or polywater as reported by other investigators. The similarity between the properties and behavior of various hydrosol systems and those ascribed to anomalous water is cited as a serious challenge to the hypothesized existence of an allotropic modification of water"--Abstract, page ii.
Absolute Cross Sections For Excitation Of Neon By Impact Of 20-180 Kev H , H₂ And He Ions, George William York
Absolute Cross Sections For Excitation Of Neon By Impact Of 20-180 Kev H , H₂ And He Ions, George William York
Doctoral Dissertations
"The technique of heavy-ion energy-loss spectrometry has been used to measure excitation cross sections for the (2p⁵)3s and (2p⁵)3p electronic configurations of Neon. The incident particles used were H⁺ , H⁺₂ and He⁺ at impact energies from 20-180 keV. The results are compared with previous optical measurements of the emission cross sections of lines from these levels as excited by H⁺ and He⁺ impact. Agreement is not good, either in shape or in absolute magnitude for excitation of the (2p⁵)3s configuration. However, agreement is surprisingly good for excitation of the (2p⁵)3p configuration. A curve fitting technique has been applied to …
Homogeneous Nucleation Of Water Vapor In Inert Gas Atmospheres, Arthur Henry Biermann
Homogeneous Nucleation Of Water Vapor In Inert Gas Atmospheres, Arthur Henry Biermann
Doctoral Dissertations
"The homogeneous nucleation of water vapor in atmospheres of helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon was studied using an expansion type cloud chamber. A strong dependence of the nucleation rate on the particular inert carrier gas was observed. At present the only dependence upon the nature of the carrier gas included in classical nucleation theories is a small factor arising from kinetic considerations which is in the wrong direction to explain the observations. To explain the dependence of the rate on the nature of the carrier gas, a molecular cluster model is assumed allowing inert gas atoms to occupy the …
X-Ray And Mössbauer Spectroscopy Studies Of The Silicon-Antimony And Bismuth-Antimony Alloys, James Ralph Teague
X-Ray And Mössbauer Spectroscopy Studies Of The Silicon-Antimony And Bismuth-Antimony Alloys, James Ralph Teague
Doctoral Dissertations
"X-ray and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used to investigate two antimony alloys, Bi-Sb and Si-Sb, showing semiconductorsemimetallic transitions or vice versa, depending on the antimony concentration in the host lattice. Resistivity and density measurements were found to be helpful in the analysis of the results. X-ray studies for dislocation-free antimony-doped silicon showed that the lattice constant of the alloy increased as the antimony concentration increased from 10¹⁸ to 10¹⁹ Sb atoms/cc. Rather good agreement was found between theoretical and experimental changes in lattice constant for dislocation-free silicon. Mössbauer studies showed that the isomer shift decreased linearly with increasing antimony concentration, which …
Surface Plasmon-Longitudinal Optical Phonon Contribution To The Reflectivity Of N-Type Insb, William Eugene Anderson
Surface Plasmon-Longitudinal Optical Phonon Contribution To The Reflectivity Of N-Type Insb, William Eugene Anderson
Doctoral Dissertations
"The reflectivity of n-type InSb has been measured in the far infrared. The doping of the samples was such that the free-carrier plasma frequency was near the longitudinal optical phonon frequency. The results suggest that samples with a sufficiently thick damage layer show effects due to surface plasmons. The results also indicate that the surface plasma excitations are coupled to the phonons. A simple model of this coupling is presented which agrees qualitatively with the observed reflectivity. A somewhat more rigorous theory of the coupling is also presented"--Abstract, page ii.
Photoionization Of Photoexcited Cesium, Robert E. Hebner
Photoionization Of Photoexcited Cesium, Robert E. Hebner
Doctoral Dissertations
"A new method for obtaining the cross section for photoionization of photoexcited cesium is presented. The salient feature of this experiment is to use three crossed beams, i.e., two light beams intersecting a beam of cesium atoms. The cross section is determined by counting the ions produced by the two step process: Cs (6S) + h[upsilon]₁ --> Cs (6P) ; Cs (6P) + [upsilon]₂ --> Cs⁺ + e⁻ The relative cross section for the second step has been obtained from threshold (5060 Å) to 2500 Å. The excitation light source used in obtaining this cross section was a rf resonance …
