On The Calculation Of Multicenter Two-Electron Repulsion Integrals Involving Slater Functions, Russell A. Bonham, Jerry Peacher, Henry L. Cox
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Integral transforms are used to evaluate many-center two-electron repulsion integrals involving Slater s-type functions. The reduction of a general four-center integral of this type to a form convenient for computational purposes is presented. The technique described has the important advantage that all lesser many-center and one-center integrals can be obtained from the four-center case by proper choice of constants. The form of the result is such that simple single-precision numerical techniques yield rapid and accurate evaluations of many-center integrals. Several numerical examples are presented.

Decay Of Intensity Of Certain Hg Lines In An Hg-Ar Discharge, Edward E. Stepp, Richard A. Anderson
Decay Of Intensity Of Certain Hg Lines In An Hg-Ar Discharge, Edward E. Stepp, Richard A. Anderson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The afterglow of four mercury spectral lines was examined in a mercury-argon electric discharge. The 2537- Å line decays in a complex fashion with three definite modes of decay. The 4077-, 4358-, and 5461- Å lines exhibited an even more complicated decay. These lines exhibited an initial rapid decay followed by an increase in intensity. Finally the intensity of these lines went through two maxima before they decayed in intensity at a slow constant rate. The actual intensity behavior of the 2537- Å line was masked by the imprisonment of resonance radiation. It is postulated that the main processes governing …
Theory Of The Effect Of Temperature On The Electron Diffraction Patterns Of Diatomic Molecules, Russell A. Bonham, Jerry Peacher
Theory Of The Effect Of Temperature On The Electron Diffraction Patterns Of Diatomic Molecules, Russell A. Bonham, Jerry Peacher
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The effect of temperature on the electron diffraction pattern of a diatomic molecule is considered from the standpoint of the simple kinematic scattering theory utilizing a quartic vibrational potential. The potential is obtained by an expansion of ħ2J( J+1)/2μr2+D exp[-2a(r-re)]-2D exp[-a(r-re)] about its minimum value r0. The second-order wavefunction for the nth vibrational and 7th rotational state of the system has been obtained, and expressions for the electron diffraction quantities rg, le 2, and M (s) have been computed. General results for the quantity M (s) …
Lattice Dynamics And Specific-Heat Data For Rocksalt-Structure Alkali Halides, Arnold Karo, John R. Hardy
Lattice Dynamics And Specific-Heat Data For Rocksalt-Structure Alkali Halides, Arnold Karo, John R. Hardy
John R. Hardy Papers
Vibrational distribution functions are derived for a number of rocksalt-structure alkali halides using a more refined treatment of the interionic forces than that provided by regarding them as rigid point charges. The dipole moment at any given ion site is calculated taking into account the contribution from the deformation of the electron distribution resulting from both polarization and overlap repulsion between nearest neighbors. In this way the dipole-dipole part of the Coulomb interaction is treated self-consistently.
Both room temperature and 0°K input parameters are used, and the derived specific-heat data are compared with experimental results. The over-all agreement with experiment …
On Science And Social Science, Robert Katz
On Science And Social Science, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
There are many definitions of science, and these are commonly based on literary and social usage rather than on the technical problem of distinguishing different areas of scholarship. To evolve an adequate definition we shall attempt to extract common elements from physics, biology, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, from those fields which are commonly called sciences. Any acceptable definition of science must be equally applicable to all of these, to all the natural sciences. To speak in the usual metaphor, we shall attempt a "scientific" definition of science.
Energy And Angular Distribution Of Electrons Ejected From Hydrogen And Helium Gas By Protons, M. Eugene Rudd, Theodore Jorgensen, Jr.
Energy And Angular Distribution Of Electrons Ejected From Hydrogen And Helium Gas By Protons, M. Eugene Rudd, Theodore Jorgensen, Jr.
M. Eugene Rudd Publications
Differential cross sections for ejection of secondary electrons of various energies at various angles were measured for hydrogen gas bombarded by 100-keV protons and for helium gas bombarded by 50-, l00-, and 150-keV protons. The range of angles investigated was 10° to 160° and the range of electron energies was 1 to 500 eV. A unique fixed-port, double-walled scattering chamber was used. Electrons were counted by an electron multiplier after passing through a 127° electrostatic analyzer. The efficiency of the detector was determined by replacing the analyzer and multiplier by a Faraday cup and making absolute measurements of cross sections …
Diffraction Of Spherical Scalar And Vector Waves At Axial Points Of A Circular Aperture And Disk, Keith Leon Mcdonald
Diffraction Of Spherical Scalar And Vector Waves At Axial Points Of A Circular Aperture And Disk, Keith Leon Mcdonald
Faculty Publications
The following work treats Kottler's saltus problem of diffraction of electromagnetic waves emitted by a Hertzian oscillator source and the analogous Kirchhoff's scalar problem of waves emitted by a point source. The medium is a homogeneous isotropic dielectric. In the vector case a new exact solution of the basic integrals is presented, at axial points only, (a) behind a circular aperture in a "black'' screen, and (b) behind its complementary "black'' disk. The relative time-averaged intensity of energy flow is plotted for the disk only. It is shown that the scalar theory predicts considerably larger values than the electromagnetic theory …

Using A Density Gradient Column To Determine Wheat Density, Wendell R. Peters, Robert Katz
Using A Density Gradient Column To Determine Wheat Density, Wendell R. Peters, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
A wheat kernel placed in a density gradient column will sink until it reaches the level where its average density is equal to that of the liquid at that level. Knowing the density of the liquid as a function of height, one can measure accurately the density of the kernel to three decimal places in about 1 to 2 minutes per kernel. Kernel density ranged from a maximum of 1.416 at 7.5% moisture to a minimum of 1.255 g./cm.3 at 18.5% moisture, for the samples tested. Kernels of a homogeneously selected sample of hard spring wheat (Lee) varied in …
The Magnetic Pole In The Formulation Of Electricity And Magnetism, Robert Katz
The Magnetic Pole In The Formulation Of Electricity And Magnetism, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
The use of the magnetic pole in the development of the concepts of electricity and magnetism leads unambiguously to a relativistic formulation of the field vectors which is well within the grasp of the sophomore student. The development is wholly consistent with Maxwell's equations and leads to clear and understandable definitions of the field vectors both in vacuum and in the material medium, as well as to the relations defining the transformations of the field vectors.

Glass-To-Sapphire End Window Seals, Edward E. Stepp, Richard A. Anderson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
SAPPHIRE windows have been used in laboratory devices where radiation from the ultraviolet through the infrared must be transmitted. Sapphire windows have been valuable in chambers which contain the alkali metals, for the alkali metals are known to react with Pyrex 7740 glass and quartz leaving them pitted and darkened. This paper is a report on an improved glass-to-sapphire end window seal.

A problem suggested by Professor Gamow deals with the relationship between the transverse mass and the gravitational mass: A steamroller of mass m moves horizontally, in the +x direction, with velocity v, in a region of space in which there is a gravitational field intensity g vertically downward. Find the weight of the moving steamroller.
A Note On K-Commutative Matrices, D. W. Robinson
A Note On K-Commutative Matrices, D. W. Robinson
Faculty Publications
Let A and B be square matrices over a field in which the minimum polynomial of A is completely reducible. It is shown that A is k commutative with respect to B for some non-negative integer k if and only if B commutes with every principal idempotent of A. The proof is brief, simplifying much of the previous study of k-commutative matrices. The result is also used to generalize some well-known theorems on finite matrix commutators that involve a complex matrix and its transposed complex conjugate.

I did not discover that I had any interest in teaching or in academic life until late in my twenties, and then only through a sequence of unrelated circumstances.
I was born in 1917. My parents were Russian-Jewish immigrants who came to New York City at about the turn of the century.
At sixteen I enrolled in Brooklyn College, a recently organized, tuition-free, municipal college, then housed in rented office buildings in downtown Brooklyn. It took an hour to get to or from school on the subway. I managed to choose this inconvenient location because this school seemed most likely …

Two Proposed Experiments For The Detection Of The Dirac Monopole, Robert Katz, Darrell R. Parnell
Two Proposed Experiments For The Detection Of The Dirac Monopole, Robert Katz, Darrell R. Parnell
Robert Katz Publications
A magnetic monopole may be detected by its deflection in an electric field or by the character of the ionization it produces. The electric deflection experiment may be performed in a helium bubble chamber where helical (or spiral) tracks whose axes are parallel to the D-lines would be certain evidence for the discovery of the monopole. Previous studies of the ionization have emphasized that the Bragg tail would be missing from a monopole track, as compared to a charged particle. This conclusion must be modified because of the thin-down of tracks of heavy nuclei. The tracks of heavy nuclei …

A New Grain Hardness Tester, Robert Katz, A. B. Cardwell, N. D. Collins, A. D. Hostetter
Robert Katz Publications
A hardness tester, especially adapted for grain, was constructed by modifying a commercial portable soft metal tester known as the Barcol Impressor. A preloaded stylus is forced into grain sections prepared by means of a microtome. The displacement of the stylus, measured by a dial micrometer, is used as a hardness index. This has been related to the Vickers diamond pyramid hardness which is a standard metallurgical test. A number of hardness measurements may be made on a single transverse kernel section. The tester may be used for all wheat varieties. Significant variations in hardness within a single wheat kernel …

Structure Of Ch2, Gordon A. Gallup
Structure Of Ch2, Gordon A. Gallup
Gordon Gallup Publications
Gray has criticized the calculation of the ground state multiplicity of the CH2 fragment by the author. In answer, I would like to make two comments.
1. Regardless of the energies of ionization of a carbon atom, CH2 may be considered as a system composed of two protons, a carbon kernel, and four electrons. The proper amount of configuration interaction should arise naturally and depend on relative energies of orbitals and overlap values. It appears that there is too much configuration interaction in the calculation in reference since the equilibrium angle arrived at is 160° instead of 140° …

Section VIII: The Development of Modern Science
Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was born and educated in England. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge, and there found the inspiration for his prodigious work that was to synthesize and extend the labors of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and others beyond the wildest dreams of any of them. Newton was the intellectual giant who set the direction of the physical sciences on the paths they were to follow undeviatingly into the twentieth century. [excerpt]

Section XX: Meaning in the Physical Sciences
The twentieth century has seen two major revolutions in our theories of physics concerning nature, and these have made us change many of our concepts about the terms in which nature can be described. The new theories born in these revolutions are the theory of relativity and of quantum mechanics. The biological sciences had their revolutions in the nineteenth century, and while remarkable progress has been made since, nothing comparable to that upheaval has occurred in this century. Of the two massive changes in the concepts of the physical sciences, we can discuss but one here. [excerpt]

Section XX: Meaning in the Physical Sciences
Newton's laws of motion and their associated definitions encountered their first difficulty near the middle of the nineteenth century.
Newton had designed his theory to describe the behavior of matter in space and time by inventing a relationship between the force on a body and the resulting change in motion of the body. Such a description of nature came to be called mechanical, and a large part of physicists' efforts were directed toward reducing all aspects of physics to mechanics. These efforts were rewarded magnificently in the fields of heat, electricity, and sound, in addition to astronomy and other more …

Section XX: Meaning in the Physical Sciences
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) published his first work on relativity in 1905, the same year in which he published remarkable papers on Brownian motion and the photoelectric effect. At the time he did this work, he was a patent examiner in the Swiss Patent Office. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921 "for his services to the theory of physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect." He became a professor of physics at several German universities, and in 1916, he took a position at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin.
