Design Of Film-Substrate Single-Reflection Linear Partial Polarizers, R. M.A. Azzam, A.-R. M. Zaghloul, N. M. Bashara
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications
The results of a preceding paper [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 65, 1464,(1975)] are viewed from a different angleas providing the basis for the design of film-substrate single-reflection linear partial polarizers (LPP),which also operate as reflection optical rotators. The important characteristics of a comprehensive set of discrete designs of SiO2-Si LPP’s at λ = 6328 Å are shown graphically.
Polarizer-Surface-Analyzer Null Ellipsometry For Film-Substrate Systems, R. M.A. Azzam, A.-R. M. Zaghloul, N. M. Bashara
Polarizer-Surface-Analyzer Null Ellipsometry For Film-Substrate Systems, R. M.A. Azzam, A.-R. M. Zaghloul, N. M. Bashara
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications
Single-pass polarizer-surface-analyzer null ellipsometry (PSA-NE) can be used to characterize film-substrate systems, provided that the film thickness lies within one of a set of permissible-thickness bands (PTB). For a transparent film on a transparent or absorbing substrate, the PTB structure consists of a small number of finite-bandwidth bands followed by a continuum band that extends from a film thickness of about half the wavelength of light to infinity. We show that this band structure is a direct consequence of the periodicity of the ellipsometric function ρ (the ratio Rp/Rs, of the complex amplitude-reflection coefficients for …
Ultraviolet Excitation Thermoluminescence Of Lead-Manganese Calcium Carbonate, Dennis Schrope
Ultraviolet Excitation Thermoluminescence Of Lead-Manganese Calcium Carbonate, Dennis Schrope
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Calcium carbonate with impurities of lead and manganese have produced measurable thermoluminescence (TL) when excited by ultraviolet (uv) radiation. In this investigation the lead impurities comprise the majority of trapping centers stimulated by uv irradiation. In addition, centers associated with the CO3groups have been found to be capable of absorbing uv and ultimately producing TL. The 2537 Å mercury line is primarily responsible for stimulating these centers, and the response was found to be linear to 0.6734 joules/cm2.
The thernoluminescence response was discovered to be dependent on the concentrations of lead and manganese. However, for a …

Radiative Lifetime Of The B ²Σˉ State Of Ch, Richard A. Anderson, Jerry Peacher, David M. Wilcox
Radiative Lifetime Of The B ²Σˉ State Of Ch, Richard A. Anderson, Jerry Peacher, David M. Wilcox
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The radiative lifetimes of the N'=3 to 15 rotational states of the v'=0 level of the B 2Σ- state of CH were measured. Emission lines were observed to N'=15, but no lines above this rotational state were observed. This result agrees with previous studies. The lifetimes of all rotational states were between 300 and 400 ns. Previous measurements have indicated that the N'=15 level might have a lifetime as short as 100 ns.
Effect Of Uniaxial Stress On The Unstable A1 (To) Phonon In Ferroelectric Gadolinium Molybdate, B.N. Ganguly, Frank G. Ullman, Roger D. Kirby, J.R. Hardy
Effect Of Uniaxial Stress On The Unstable A1 (To) Phonon In Ferroelectric Gadolinium Molybdate, B.N. Ganguly, Frank G. Ullman, Roger D. Kirby, J.R. Hardy
Roger Kirby Publications
The effect of uniaxial stress along [100] on the unstable A1 (TO) phonon, 47 cm-1 at room temperature, in ferroelectric (<159°C) gadolinium molybdate has been studied by Raman scattering at 138, 141, 146, and 155°C. An increase in peak frequency and narrowing of the line shape is observed with increasing stress. The data are analyzed by fitting to a Lorentzian line shape. The force-constant parameter is insensitive to both stress and temperature, whereas the damping constant decreases nonlinearly with stress, approaching an asymptotic value at high stress.
Relaxation Of The Wall-Pinned Magnetization Ringing Mode In Superfluid 3he-B, Richard A. Webb, R. E. Sager, J. C. Wheatley
Relaxation Of The Wall-Pinned Magnetization Ringing Mode In Superfluid 3he-B, Richard A. Webb, R. E. Sager, J. C. Wheatley
Faculty Publications
Observations of the wall-pinned mode in 3He-B allow new magnetic relaxation phenomena to be studied. Excepting the quantitative value of the zero-time ringing frequency, comparison of experiment with theory is satisfactory, including a linear dependence of the square of the ringing period on time and a square-root singularity near Tc in the relaxation parameter.
Path-Integral Formulation Of Scattering Theory, Paul Finkler, C. Edward Jones, M. Misheloff
Path-Integral Formulation Of Scattering Theory, Paul Finkler, C. Edward Jones, M. Misheloff
Paul Finkler Papers
A new formulation of nonrelativistic scattering theory is developed which expresses the S matrix as a path integral. This formulation appears to have at least two advantages: (1) A closed formula is obtained for the S matrix in terms of the potential, not involving a series expansion; (2) the energy-conserving δ function can be explicitly extracted using a technique analogous to that of Faddeev and Popov, thereby yielding a closed pathintegral expression for the T matrix. The introduction of the concept of the classical interaction picture provides considerable physical insight into this formulation. This formulation also suggests a successionof improvements …
Nonlinear Parallel Ringing Of Magnetization In Superfluid 3he, Richard A. Webb, R. E. Sager, J. C. Wheatley
Nonlinear Parallel Ringing Of Magnetization In Superfluid 3he, Richard A. Webb, R. E. Sager, J. C. Wheatley
Faculty Publications
Experiments based on an analogy to the ac Josephson effect have shown in both 3He-A and 3He-B that a pairing theory of the superfluidity of 3He is essentially correct. Additional observations of parallel ringing are not in agreement with the simple "pendulum models" used to describe nonlinear dynamic magnetic effects.

2P3/2:2P1/2 Partial Photoionization Cross-Section Ratios In The Rare Gases , James A.R. Samson, J.L. Gardner, Anthony F. Starace
Anthony F. Starace Publications
The 2P3/2:2P1/2 partial photoionization cross-section ratios have been measured for the rare gases in the ionization continuum and within resonance structure. The wavelength range for this study was from the 2P1/2 ionization threshold to 304 Å. The ratio of the cross sections was found to be constant over this wavelength range, yielding ratios of 1.54, 1.77, 1.93, and 2.18 for Xe, Kr, Ar, and Ne, respectively. Within resonances, the ratio changed dramatically. Results are illustrated for xenon.

Analysis of a forward karate punch is made as an example of collision mechanics. The energy lost to deformation of an opponent is evaluated, and the deformation is shown to be maximized if contact is made when the fist has the greatest speed. In karate fighting the maximum deformation is obtained by focusing a punch to terminate several centimeters inside an opponent’s body. The average impact force is calculated and compared with that neeeded to break a human bone by stressing it beyond its ultimate bending stress value. Similar breaking forces needed for bricks and wooden boards are also computed. …

Design Of Film—Substrate Single-Reflection Retarders, A.-R. M. Zaghloul, R. M.A. Azzam, N. M. Bashara
Design Of Film—Substrate Single-Reflection Retarders, A.-R. M. Zaghloul, R. M.A. Azzam, N. M. Bashara
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications
The design steps for film—substrate single-reflection retarders are briefly stated and applied to the SiO2—Si film—substrate system at wavelength 6328 Å. The criterion of minimum-maximum error of the ellipsometric angle ψ is used to choose angle-of-incidence-tunable designs. Use is made of the (Φ-d) plane (angle of incidence versus thickness) to determine whether a given film—substrate system with known optical properties and film thickness can operate as a reflection retarder and to determine the associated angles of incidence and retardation angles. This leads to the concept of permissible-thickness bands and forbidden gaps for operation of a film—substrate …
Relationship Between The Linear Ringing Frequencies In 3he-A And 3he-B Near The Polycritical Point, Richard A. Webb, R. E. Sager, J. C. Wheatley
Relationship Between The Linear Ringing Frequencies In 3he-A And 3he-B Near The Polycritical Point, Richard A. Webb, R. E. Sager, J. C. Wheatley
Faculty Publications
New measurements of parallel ringing in a quasi-ideal geometry for 3He-B near the temperature and pressure of the polycritical point suggest fB2/fA2∼5/2, where fB and fA are the linear parallel-ringing frequencies at a given temperature near Tc. This result approaches the prediction of theory using the Anderson-Brinkman-Morel and Balian-Werthamer states to describe 3He-A and 3He-B, respectively, and hence the results of Osheroff at melting pressure, but disagrees with earlier observations at pressures near the polycritical point.
Intrinsic Viscosity Of Stiff Dumbbells From Time Correlation Functions, Gerald Wilemski
Intrinsic Viscosity Of Stiff Dumbbells From Time Correlation Functions, Gerald Wilemski
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The intrinsic viscosity of a suspension of stiff dumbbells is evaluated by a time correlation function method. The required moments of the internal coordinates are calculated directly from the diffusion equation, without explicit evaluation of the Green's function. For the rigid dumbbell, the correct high frequency limit is obtained, disposing of recent doubts over this possibility. The interplay of dumbbell stiffness and shearing frequency is also illustrated.

Physics
To complete the set of synthetic analogs of the three recognized types of active sites in iron-sulfur redox proteins, the compound (Et4N)[Fe((SCH2)2C6H4)2], derived from o-xylyl-α,α'-dithiol, has been prepared and its structure has been determined by x-ray diffraction. The bischelate anion contains a near-tetrahedral Fe(III)-S4 coordination unit with small rhombic distortions and all Fe-S bond distances in the range 2.252-2.279 Å. Its electronic properties have been partially characterized by measurement of electronic absorption, paramagnetic resonance, Mössbauer spectra, and magnetic susceptibility. The analog, as …

Teaching-The Purpose Of Repeatable Testing: Response To Comment Of J. D. Edmonds, D.E. Golden, Robert Fuller, D.D. Jensen
Robert G. Fuller Publications
It is not clear that the comment "Grading and Regrading"' has very much to do with our article.' The comment seems rather to be a nostalgic statement recalling the good old days when with glee we cracked the whip and the students either shaped up or shipped out. Our purpose in doing repeatable testing was not to become a "do your own thing" force, to raise everyone's grades, to "achieve well defined educational objectives" like teaching the solution to the inclined plane problem, to do away with certification, and most definitely our purpose was not to replace teachers with computer-programmed …
Theoretical Study Of Impurity-Induced First-Order Raman Spectra For The Alkali Halides, Arnold Karo, John R. Hardy
Theoretical Study Of Impurity-Induced First-Order Raman Spectra For The Alkali Halides, Arnold Karo, John R. Hardy
John R. Hardy Papers
A deformation-dipole model with first- and second-neighbor central short-range forces is used as a basis for calculating all symmetry-adapted combinations of eigenvectors (SACEV) necessary for the study of defect vibrations in alkali-halide crystals. As an example of the full set of spectral weight functions, which are tabulated separately, sample results are given for the predicted defect-activated E, Raman spectra for KC1, KI, RbCl, and KBr, assuming no force-constant changes and that the defect is located at a positive-ion site. The results show qualitative agreement with the earlier findings of Harley, Page, and Walker, even though the deformation-dipole model is not …

Energy And Angular Distribution Of Electrons Ejected From Helium By Fast Protons And Electrons: Theory And Experiment, Steven Trent Manson, Larry H. Toburen, Don H. Madison, Nikolaus Stolterfoht
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
A comprehensive study of the angular and energy distributions of electrons ejected in collisions of fast electrons and protons with He is presented. New experimental results for 300-keV, 1-MeV, and 5-MeV proton impact are reported along with theoretical results for 2-keV electron impact and 100-keV, 300-keV, 1-MeV, and 5-MeV proton impact. The theoretical results, based upon Born approximation with Hartree-Slater initial discrete and final continuum wave functions, show excellent agreement with experimental electron-impact results. Serious discrepancies are found between theory and experiment in the angular distribution of ejected electrons for forward angles for 100- and 300-keV proton impact; the discrepancies …

We generalize the path integral formalism of quantum mechanics to include the use of arbitrary infinitesimal generators, thus providing explicit expressions for solutions of a wide class of differential equations. In particular, we develop a method of calculating the eigenfunctions of a large class of operators.
Theory Of Impurity-Induced Infrared Absorption In Cubic Crystals, S. S. Jaswal, J. M. Wadehra
Theory Of Impurity-Induced Infrared Absorption In Cubic Crystals, S. S. Jaswal, J. M. Wadehra
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research Publications
A method to calculate the infrared absorption due to a very low concentration of defects in a diatomic cubic crystal is developed directly from the basic absorption equation in quantum mechanics when the impurity produces changes in mass and short-range force constants. It is shown that the absorption is due to the modes of T1u symmetry about the defect and is proportional to the square of the projection of the amplitudes of the ions in the defect space onto the transverse-optic modes at the zone center as determined by the perturbation. A procedure to calculate the amplitudes of …

Rbe-Dose Relations For Neutrons And Pions, Robert Katz, S. C. Sharma
Robert Katz Publications
RBE-Dose relations have been calculated from cellular radiosensitivity parameters and theoretical particle-energy spectra in tissue, of the secondary particles from neutron and negative pion irradiations. The theoretical results are compared with clinical and radiobiological data for normal tissue, tumors, and cells in culture. Formulae for calculation, cellular parameters, and the needed properties of equivalent “track-segment bombardments” are given, for several mammalian cells irradiated with pions and with neutrons of several energies.

Quadrupole Couplings Of N12 And B12 Implanted In Metal Single-Crystals, Richard C. Haskell, Francis David Corell, Leon Madansky
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
Measurements have been made of the quadrupole couplings of 12N implanted in single crystals of Be and Mg and of 12B implanted in a single crystal of Zn. A comparison of the 12N couplings in Be and Mg suggests that (i) the final stopping sites of the implanted 12N ions are substitutional sites, i.e., the 12N ions occupy metal-ion lattice positions, and (ii) the 12N ions implanted in Be and Mg have the same charge state and quadrupole shielding factor. A procedure is outlined for deducing Q(12N). The 12B couplings in Zn imply the existence of two inequivalent stopping sites. …

Effects Of Anisotropic Electron-Ion Interactions In Atomic Photoelectron Angular Distributions, Dan Dill, Anthony F. Starace, Steven T. Manson
Anthony F. Starace Publications
The photoelectron asymmetry parameter β in LS coupling is obtained as an expansion into contributions from alternative angular-momentum transfers jt. The physical significance of this expansion of β is shown to be that (i) the electric-dipole interaction transfers to the atom a characteristic single angular momentum jt=l0, where l0 is the photoelectron's initial orbital momentum, whereas (ii) angular-momentum transfers jt≠l0 indicate the presence of anisotropic (i.e., term-dependent) interaction of the outgoing photoelectron with the residual ion. For open-shell atoms the photoelectron-ion interaction is generally anisotropic; photoelectron phase shifts …

The transverse magnetoresistance of stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric polycrystalline samples of the Ni3Al system has been measured over the temperature range 1.2C. The data are in qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions of Chang et al. based on a model of the magnetoresistance of an itinerant ferromagnet, but the observed magnetoresistance is considerably larger than predicted.
