Nanoscale Investigation Of Fatigue Effects In Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 Films, Alexei Gruverman, O. Auciello, H. Tokumoto
Nanoscale Investigation Of Fatigue Effects In Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 Films, Alexei Gruverman, O. Auciello, H. Tokumoto
Alexei Gruverman Publications
Scanning force microscopy has been used to perform a comparative nanoscale study of domain structures and switching behavior of Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) thin films integrated into heterostructures with different electrodes. The study revealed a significant difference between polarization state of as-deposited PZT films on RuO2 and Pt electrodes. The PZT/RuO2 films exhibit polydomain crystallites and show almost symmetric switching behavior, while the PZT/Pt films are mainly in a single polarity state and exhibit highly asymmetric piezoelectric hysteresis loops. Formation of unswitchable polarization within the grains of submicron size as a result of fatigue process …
The Electromagnetic Mass Differences Of Pions And Kaons, John F. Donoghue, Antonio F. Pérez
The Electromagnetic Mass Differences Of Pions And Kaons, John F. Donoghue, Antonio F. Pérez
Physics Department Faculty Publication Series
We use the Cottingham method to calculate the pion and kaon electromagnetic mass differences with as few model dependent inputs as possible. The constraints of chiral symmetry at low energy, QCD at high energy and experimental data in between are used in the dispersion relation. We find excellent agreement with experiment for the pion mass difference. The kaon mass difference exhibits a strong violation of the lowest order prediction of Dashen’s theorem, in qualitative agreement with several other recent calculations.
Photoionization Of Atoms, Anthony F. Starace
Photoionization Of Atoms, Anthony F. Starace
Anthony F. Starace Publications
This chapter outlines the theory of atomic photoionization, and the dynamics of the photon-atom collision process. Those kinds of electron correlation that are most important in photoionization are emphasized, although many qualitative features can be understood within a central field model. The particle-hole type of electron correlations are discussed, as they are by far the most important for describing the single photoionization of atoms near ionization thresholds. Detailed reviews of atomic photoionization are presented in Refs. [I] and 121. Current activities and interests are well-described in two recent books [3,4]
Geometrical Folding Transitions Of The Triangular Lattice In The Face-Centred Cubic Lattice, Mark Bowick, Oliver Golinelli, Emmanuel Guitter, S. Mori
Geometrical Folding Transitions Of The Triangular Lattice In The Face-Centred Cubic Lattice, Mark Bowick, Oliver Golinelli, Emmanuel Guitter, S. Mori
Physics - All Scholarship
We study the folding of the regular two-dimensional triangular lattice embedded in the regular three-dimensional Face-Centred Cubic lattice, a discrete model for the crumpling of membranes. Possible folds are complete planar folds, folds with the angle of a regular tetrahedron (71 degrees) or with that of a regular octahedron (109 degrees). We study this model in the presence of a negative bending rigidity K, which favours the folding process. We use both a cluster variation method (CVM) approximation and a transfer matrix approach. The system is shown to undergo two separate geometrical transitions with increasing |K|: a first discontinuous transition …
Potentials With Two Shifted Sets Of Equally Spaced Eigenvalues And Their Calogero Spectrum, Asim Gangopadhyaya, Uday P. Sukhatme
Potentials With Two Shifted Sets Of Equally Spaced Eigenvalues And Their Calogero Spectrum, Asim Gangopadhyaya, Uday P. Sukhatme
Physics: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Motivated by the concept of shape invariance in supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we obtain potentials whose spectrum consists of two shifted sets of equally spaced energy levels. These potentials are similar to the Calogero-Sutherland model except the singular term αx−2 always falls in the transition region -1/4 < a < 3/4 and there is a δ-function singularity at x=0.
Asymptotic Conservation Laws In Field Theory, Ian M. Anderson, Charles G. Torre
Asymptotic Conservation Laws In Field Theory, Ian M. Anderson, Charles G. Torre
All Physics Faculty Publications
A new, general, field theoretic approach to the derivation of asymptotic conservation laws is presented. In this approach asymptotic conservation laws are constructed directly from the field equations according to a universal prescription which does not rely upon the existence of Noether identities or any Lagrangian or Hamiltonian formalisms. The resulting general expressions of the conservation laws enjoy important invariance properties and synthesize all known asymptotic conservation laws, such as the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner energy in general relativity.
Effects Of The Cardioprotective Drugs Dexrazoxane And Adr-925 On Doxorubicin Induced Ca2+-Release From The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, Thomas Andreas Herzinger
Effects Of The Cardioprotective Drugs Dexrazoxane And Adr-925 On Doxorubicin Induced Ca2+-Release From The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, Thomas Andreas Herzinger
Dissertations and Theses
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the intramuscular organelle responsible for the regulation of cytoplasmic calcium levels in muscle. This thesis investigates the effects of the cardioprotective drug, dexrazoxane, and its metabolite ADR-925 on doxorubicin induced calcium release from skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum. Doxorubicin is a widely used antineoplastic agent. One of the major side effects of doxorubicin usage is chronic cardiotoxicity. Doxorubicin is a potent activator of the calcium release mechanism from the SR. The interaction between doxorubicin and the calcium release channel has been proposed as the possible underlying mechanism behind cardiotoxicity. A short overview of different hypotheses describing doxorubicin induced …
Laboratory Synthesis Of Molecular Hydrogen On Surfaces Of Astrophysical Interest, Gianfranco Vidali, V Pirronello, Chi Liu, Liyong Shen
Laboratory Synthesis Of Molecular Hydrogen On Surfaces Of Astrophysical Interest, Gianfranco Vidali, V Pirronello, Chi Liu, Liyong Shen
Physics - All Scholarship
We report on the first results of experiments to measure the recombination rate of hydrogen on surfaces of astrophysical interest. Our measurements give lower values for the recombination efficiency (sticking probability S x probability of recombination upon H-H encounter \gamma) than model-based estimates. We propose that our results can be reconciled with average estimates of the recombination rate (1/2 n(H) n(g) v(H)A S \gamma) from astronomical observations, if the actual surface of an average grain is rougher, and its area bigger, than the one considered in models.

Effect Of Multistep Wafer-Annealing On Main Traps In Czochralski-Grown Semi-Insulating Gaas, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look, H. Yamamoto, H. Shimakura
Effect Of Multistep Wafer-Annealing On Main Traps In Czochralski-Grown Semi-Insulating Gaas, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look, H. Yamamoto, H. Shimakura
Physics Faculty Publications
Both multistep wafer‐annealed (MWA) and ingot‐annealed semi‐insulating (SI) GaAs wafers, grown by the Czochralski technique, are characterized by using normalized thermally stimulated current (NTSC) spectroscopy. Two main NTSC traps, T3 at 200 K and T5 at 140 K, which are thought to be related to arsenic vacancy defects, are found to be largely suppressed by MWA processes, especially by a new MWA process. Concomitant with a decrease of these traps, a significant increase of the threshold electrical field for both the thermal quenching of T5 and the low‐temperature photocurrent saturation has been observed
A 2-D Numerical Simulation And Analysis Of A Simple Band Model For The Priz Spatial Light Modulator, Gary D. Barmore
A 2-D Numerical Simulation And Analysis Of A Simple Band Model For The Priz Spatial Light Modulator, Gary D. Barmore
Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation discusses the development of and analyzes the first complete, 2-D numerical simulation of the PRIZ. The simulation is based upon a simple band model of the PRIZ: a single donor, a single trap, and free electron carriers. Modeled mechanisms include photogeneration, energy level transitions, injection, drift currents, diffusion currents, photorefraction and diffraction. The model goes beyond the previous charge and field dynamics of 1-D numerical models to include optical effects, and it eliminates the oversimplifications and assumptions used in earlier mathematical models with closed solutions. Sensitivity analyses and selected simulations provide a better understanding of the dynamic imaging …
Electron Energy Distributions From Multiple Ionization In 20–120-Kev H+ + Ar Collisions, Yang-Soo Chung, M. Eugene Rudd
Electron Energy Distributions From Multiple Ionization In 20–120-Kev H+ + Ar Collisions, Yang-Soo Chung, M. Eugene Rudd
M. Eugene Rudd Publications
Energy-analyzed secondary electrons from H+ + Ar collisions at eight proton energies from 20 to 120 keV were detected in coincidence with recoil ions of charge states 1–3. The charge states were distinguished by time-of-flight measurements and the electron energies were analyzed by a newly designed electrostatic analyzer of the low-pass high-pass filter type which has a large (~1.45π steradian) solid angle acceptance. For each of nine electron energies from 10 to 160 eV, the ionizing events associated with each residual ion charge state were counted. The electron energy dependence of the charge-state ratios and the average charge determined …
Luminescence Study Of Ion-Implanted Gallium Nitride, Eric Silkowski
Luminescence Study Of Ion-Implanted Gallium Nitride, Eric Silkowski
Theses and Dissertations
Luminescence and absorption measurements were used to demonstrate the efficacy of ion implantation for introducing various classes of dopants into GaN. A wide range of implantation and annealing studies were performed with several dopant species (Ar, Zn, C, O, Si, Be, Mg, Nd, Er). Room temperature ion implantation was performed on MOCVD- and MBE-grown GaN samples at energies between 100 and 1150 keV with doses ranging from 1 x 1013 to 1 x 1015/cm-2. Conventional furnace annealing in flowing NH3 or N2 gas resulted in good implantation damage recovery at an annealing temperature …

Two-Center Effects In Ion-Atom Collisions: A Symposium In Honor Of M. Eugene Rudd, Lincoln, Ne May 1994 — Contents And Preface, Timothy J. Gay, Anthony F. Starace
Anthony F. Starace Publications
Following a distinguished career in atomic physics, sketched in the accompanying biography, M. Eugene Rudd retired From the faculty of the University of Nebraska in the spring of 1993. In order to celebrate his many research accomplishments, a two day scientific conference, held on 13-14 May 1994, was organized in Lincoln. It was felt that the special spirit that Rudd brought to the lab would be highlighted by a conference designed to analyze in detail a subject of current research in which he was a pioneer: two center-effects in ion-atom ionizing collisions.
Prior to 1980, primarily as a result of …
Surface Phenomena On The Tin-Dioxide Polycrystalline Layers, Andrei A. Fluerasu
Surface Phenomena On The Tin-Dioxide Polycrystalline Layers, Andrei A. Fluerasu
Theses
Polycrystalline tin-dioxide is widely used in the detection of reducing gases (such as H2, CO, CH4, C2H5OH,...) in air by measuring its conductivity changes. The advantage of gas sensors based on such sensing devices is low cost and high sensitivity. In contrast to their widespread applications and to their successful empirical research and development work, the present understanding of the chemical sensing mechanisms is still immature.
In this thesis, for gas sensors based on thick and porous tin-dioxide layers, a study of the response function upon variation of the partial pressure of …

Biographical Sketch Of M. Eugene Rudd, Robert Katz, Duane H. Jaecks
Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications
Dr. Rudd's research in atomic collision physics has been characterized by originality and thoroughness. He has written review articles and chapters in the Encyclopedia of Physics - and elsewhere, and is a co-author on a book on atomic collisions. He has published more than 75 refereed research papers, many of which were of seminal importance. He was the first to study systematically the dependence of the probability for electron emission in ion-atom collisions on the incident ion's energy, and on the ejected electron's energy and angle of emission. In 1964 he made the first experimental observation of doubly excited atomic …

Discrete Folding, Mark Bowick, Philippe Di Francesco, Oliver Golinelli, Emmanuel Guitter
Physics - All Scholarship
Models of folding of a triangular lattice embedded in a discrete space are studied as simple models of the crumpling transition of fixed-connectivity membranes. Both the case of planar folding and three-dimensional folding on a face-centered-cubic lattice are treated. The 3d-folding problem corresponds to a 96-vertex model and exhibits a first-order folding transition from a crumpled phase to a completely flat phase as the bending rigidity increases.

A Novel Multilayer Circuit Process Using Yba2cu3ox /Srtio3 Thin Films, H.Q. Li, R.H. Ono, L.R. Vale, D.A. Rudman, Sy_Hwang Liou
Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
A process combining hydrofluoric acid (HF) and Ar+ ion milling has been used to make YBa2Cu3Oχ/SrTiO3/YBa2Cu2Oχ (YBCO/STO/YBCO) multilayer test circuits. Low-angle steps can be readily etched in STO and YBCO films with this process. YBCO lines crossing 5° steps have about the same critical temperature Tc (89–90 K) and critical current density Jc (>1X106 A/cm2 at 86 K) as lines on planar surfaces. Via connections have the same Tc as other circuit components and adequate critical currents for most circuit …

Frozen Disorder In A Driven System, Beate Schmittmann, K. E. Bassler
Beate Schmittmann
We investigate the effects of quenched disorder on the universal properties of a randomly driven Ising lattice gas. The Hamiltonian fixed point of the pure system becomes unstable in the presence of a quenched local bias, giving rise to a new fixed point which controls a novel universality class. We determine the associated scaling forms of correlation and response functions, quoting critical exponents to two-loop order in an expansion around the upper critical dimension dc=5.
Current Status Of The Saddle-Point Model, Timothy J. Gay
Current Status Of The Saddle-Point Model, Timothy J. Gay
Timothy J. Gay Publications
The saddle-point model of ionizing ion-atom collisions is based on the idea that when a charged projectile ionizes target electrons. some of the ejected electrons find themselves on the transient, moving saddle-point of Coulomb potential with a velocity that matches that of the saddle point. Feeling no force at this position, they "ride" the saddle out of the collision volume and are thus ionized. In the case of the prototypical H+ + H system, or in any proton–neutral target collision, the saddle point moves at half the projectile velocity, so these electrons are often referred to as "v/2" electrons. …
Auger Electron Spectroscopy Of Free Argon Clusters, A. Knop, D. N. Mcilroy, Peter A. Dowben, E. Rühl
Auger Electron Spectroscopy Of Free Argon Clusters, A. Knop, D. N. Mcilroy, Peter A. Dowben, E. Rühl
Peter Dowben Publications
Auger electron spectra and Auger yields of free argon clusm in the Ar(2p) excitation regime are reported. The Auger yield spectra show characteristic changes as a function of cluster size. The results indicate that the Auger yield signal originates primarily from the surface of the cluster. The results are compared to bulk-sensitive experimental techniques, such as total electron yields (TEY), zero kinetic energy electron (ZEKE) spectra for variable size clusters, as well as Auger yield spectra of condensed argon multilayers.
Radial Dose Distributions In The Delta-Ray Theory Of Track Structure, Francis A. Cucinotta, Robert Katz, John W. Wilson, Rajendra R. Dubey
Radial Dose Distributions In The Delta-Ray Theory Of Track Structure, Francis A. Cucinotta, Robert Katz, John W. Wilson, Rajendra R. Dubey
Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications
The radial dose distribution from delta rays, fundamental to the delta ray theory of track structure, is recalculated. We now include the model of Rudd for the secondary electron spectrum in proton collisions. We include the effects of electron transmission through matter and the angular dependence of secondary electron emission. Empirical formulas for electron range versus electron energy are intercompared in a wide variety of materials in order to extend the track structure theory to arbitrary media. Radial dose calculations for carbon, water, silicon, and gold are discussed. As in the past, effective charge is used to scale to heavier …
Non-Rayleigh Signal Statistics Caused By Relative Motion During Measurements, A. R. Jameson, Alexander Kostinski
Non-Rayleigh Signal Statistics Caused By Relative Motion During Measurements, A. R. Jameson, Alexander Kostinski
Department of Physics Publications
In order to reduce fluctuations, remote sensing devices such as radars and radiometers typically sample many times before forming an estimate. When mean values are stationary during this sampling period, the fluctuations in the amplitudes and intensities obey the same probability density functions (pdf) as those for each sample contributing to the estimate. However, it is shown in this work that when mean values change from sample to sample (i.e., pulse to pulse for most radars), the pdf's of the amplitudes and intensities differ from those corresponding to the samples. Such changes can be inherent to the scatterers as, for …

Dynamical Effects Of Partial Orderings In Physical Systems, Adam S. Landsberg, Eric J. Friedman
Dynamical Effects Of Partial Orderings In Physical Systems, Adam S. Landsberg, Eric J. Friedman
WM Keck Science Faculty Papers
We demonstrate that many physical systems possess an often overlooked property known as a partial-ordering structure. The detection and analysis of this special geometric property can be crucial for understanding a system's dynamical behavior. We review here the fundamental dynamical features common to all such systems, and describe how the partial ordering imposes interesting restrictions on their possible behavior. We show, for instance, that though such systems are capable of displaying highly complex and even chaotic behaviors, most of their experimentally observable behaviors will be simple. Partial orderings are illustrated with examples drawn from many branches of physics, including solid …
Effect Of Beam Attenuation On Photorefractive Grating Erasure, Martin M Liphardt, Arosha Goonesekera, Stephen Ducharme, James M. Takacs, Lei Zhang
Effect Of Beam Attenuation On Photorefractive Grating Erasure, Martin M Liphardt, Arosha Goonesekera, Stephen Ducharme, James M. Takacs, Lei Zhang
Stephen Ducharme Publications
We investigate the influence of attenuation on the speed of erasure of photorefractive gratings by solving the coupled-wave equations in the undepleted pump approximation and by taking into account the attenuation and Gaussian intensity profile of all the beams. The extrinsic grating decay rate is significantly lower than the intrinsic photorefractive decay rate in samples with overall attenuation as low as 10%. The Gaussian beam profiles of the readout and the erasing beams result in a further reduction of the extrinsic decay rate. The results of these calculations are used to determine the spectrum of intrinsic decay rates in a …
Magnetic Neutron-Scattering Investigation Of The Field-Induced Griffiths Phase In Fecl2, Christian Binek, D. Bertrand, L.P. Regnault, Wolfgang Kleemann
Magnetic Neutron-Scattering Investigation Of The Field-Induced Griffiths Phase In Fecl2, Christian Binek, D. Bertrand, L.P. Regnault, Wolfgang Kleemann
Christian Binek Publications
Quasielastic neutron scattering has been utilized to investigate the Griffiths phase induced by an axial magnetic field in FeCl2 at temperatures Tc(H)⩽T⩽TN, where Tc(H) is the transition temperature in an external magnetic field H. We present the temperature dependence of the integrated neutron-scattering intensity at fixed scattering vectors for various magnetic fields. On cooling below TN the antiferromagnetic short-range fluctuations decrease due to an increase of the volume fraction which is already antiferromagnetically ordered. A weighted average of the local contributions to the antiferromagnetic susceptibility quantitatively describes the scattering cross section.

Breakdown Of Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson Theory For Certain Quantum Phase Transitions, Thomas Vojta, Dietrich Belitz, Rajesh S. Narayanan, Theodore R. Kirkpatrick
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The quantum ferromagnetic transition of itinerant electrons is considered. It is shown that the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson theory described by Hertz and others breaks down due to a singular coupling between fluctuations of the conserved order parameter. This coupling induces an effective long-range interaction between the spins of the form 1/r2d-1. It leads to unusual scaling behavior at the quantum critical point in 1 < d ≤ 3 dimensions, which is determined exactly.
An Exactly Soluble Fresnel Diffraction Model Of Two-Slit Interference, James A. Lock
An Exactly Soluble Fresnel Diffraction Model Of Two-Slit Interference, James A. Lock
Physics Faculty Publications
Using the formalism of Fresnel diffraction, we examine the diffraction and interference of two initially widely separated parallel Gaussian light beams. This two-beam configuration is a version of Young's two-slit interference problem that is free of the mathematical complexity that occurs in most Fresnel diffraction calculations. As a result, it clearly and simply illustrates the transition from ray optics to wave interference. (C) 1996 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Use of carbon materials is no longer limited to diamond jewelry or graphite pencils and lubricants. The last decade has witnessed an explosion of technological applications driven by the development of fabrication methods and the discovery of several new classes of pure carbon. Structural diversity exhibited by the carbon atoms, from local chemical order to long-range crystalline order, is key to understanding their physical and chemical properties and in future materials development. This article summarizes the use of Raman spectroscopy as a principal tool to investigate the vibrational dynamics of carbon materials and to provide indirect structural characterization of their …
