Expectation Values Of Simple Correlated Helium-Atom Wavefunctions, Thomas P. Tsien, Russell T. Pack Nov 1968

Expectation Values Of Simple Correlated Helium-Atom Wavefunctions, Thomas P. Tsien, Russell T. Pack

Faculty Publications

In this Note we present the results of a calculation of the expectation values of a number of one- and two electron properties of the ground-state helium atom using two very simple correlated wavefunctions.


New Solutions Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations From Old, B. Kent Harrison Nov 1968

New Solutions Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations From Old, B. Kent Harrison

Faculty Publications

Methods are discussed with which one may derive theorems which allow one to generate new solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations from old ones. The old solutions used to generate new ones must admit at least one nonnull Killing vector and may be required to satisfy other conditions, depending on the theorem derived. Examples of derivable theorems are shown; these theorems are used in turn to show how generation of new solutions is accomplished. Examples of the latter are shown, such as generation of Brill or electrified NUT space from the Schwarzschild solution, generation of a new twisted Melvin universe from …


Actomyosin-Like Protein Isolated From Mammalian Brain, Donald Dudley Clarke Phd, S. Berl, S. Puszkin, Elena Puszkin Jul 1968

Actomyosin-Like Protein Isolated From Mammalian Brain, Donald Dudley Clarke Phd, S. Berl, S. Puszkin, Elena Puszkin

Faculty Publications

A protein with characteristics similar to actomyosin has been isolated from whole brain of rat and cat. It is soluble in 0.6 molar potassium chloride and insoluble in 0.1 molar potassium chloride. It superprecipitates with magnesium ions and adenosine triphosphate. It has adenosine triphosphatase activity stimulated by either magnesium or calcium ions. Both superprecipitation and adenosine triphosphatase activity are inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and Mersalyl but not by ouabain.


A Method For Measuring Magnetization To High Pressures, C. R. Johansen, Mark H. Nelson, J. H. Gardner Mar 1968

A Method For Measuring Magnetization To High Pressures, C. R. Johansen, Mark H. Nelson, J. H. Gardner

Faculty Publications

A partially successful attempt has been made to measure the magnetic moment per unit volume of ferromagnetic materials as a function of pressure to the 100-kbar region. The apparatus, an early version of which has been described previously, consists basically of two opposed Bridgman flat anvils of alumina. One anvil also acts as a dielectric-filled microwave resonant cavity for an x-band spectrometer, allowing electron spin resonance studies to be made to high pressure. The sample to be studied is placed in contact with the anvil-cavity and covered with a pressure-transmitting medium which in turn is encircled by a flat pyrophyllite …
