Semiclassical Interpretation Of Eigenvectors For Excited Atoms In External Fields, Robert Leonard Waterland, M. L. Du, John B. Delos
Semiclassical Interpretation Of Eigenvectors For Excited Atoms In External Fields, Robert Leonard Waterland, M. L. Du, John B. Delos
Arts & Sciences Articles
Eigenvectors for an electron in an atom in parallel electric and magnetic fields are calculated, and a semiclassical interpretation of their behavior is obtained. Eigenvectors can in this case be regarded as ‘‘wave functions in angular momentum space.’’ The matrix equation defining the eigenvectors is written as a difference equation, and then converted to a pseudodifferential equation; a systematic procedure is then used to construct a semiclassical approximation. It is found that the same classical Hamiltonian that has been previously used to calculate semiclassical eigenvalues provides a WKB-type representation of the eigenvectors. The development sheds new light on action-angle formulations …
Versatile New Metalorganic Process For Preparing Superconducting Thin Films, M.E. Gross, M. Hong, Sy_Hwang Liou, P.K. Gallagher, J. Kwo
Versatile New Metalorganic Process For Preparing Superconducting Thin Films, M.E. Gross, M. Hong, Sy_Hwang Liou, P.K. Gallagher, J. Kwo
Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
A new technique for producing thin films of the high-temperature perovskite superconductors, LnBa2Cu3O7-x, where Ln represents a rare-earth element, using spin-on metalorganic precursors is described. Pyrolysis of the spin-coated films, consisting of mixed metal (2-ethyl hexanoates), leads to black films up to several microns thick whose degree of orientation is a function of the processing temperature and duration. Representative films of Y Ba2Cu3O7-x on MgO begin to exhibit orientation with the c axis perpendicular to the film plane at heat treatments above 900 °C. The superconducting behavior of a …

Critical Dimensions For Chiral Bosons, Luca Mezincescu, Rafael I. Nepomechie
Physics Articles and Papers
We give the Lagrangian formulation of a Bose model in 1+1 dimensions which describes a free chiral Lie-algebra-valued current. This model is a non-Abelian generalization of the chiral scalar model of Siegel. Both the Abelian and non-Abelian actions have a gauge invariance, which becomes anomalous when the models are quantized. The condition that this anomaly be canceled coincides with the string no-ghost condition.
Alternative Feynman-Diagram Method For The General-Spin Kondo Problem, S. E. Barnes
Alternative Feynman-Diagram Method For The General-Spin Kondo Problem, S. E. Barnes
Physics Articles and Papers
We introduce a new method of replacing spin operators with pseudofermions. For a spin value S there are 2S pseudofermions each of which can have spin ‘‘up’’ or ‘‘down’’. In contrast to the standard Abrikosov method which has 2S+1 inequivalent fermions, i.e., one for each Sz value, the present pairs are all equivalent. It follows that the general spin expression is obtained by multiplying the S=(1/2 result by a ceratin combinational factor. This aids in the construction of rotationally invariant solutions for the general-spin Kondo problem for the case when n≤2S, where n is the number of conduction-electron scattering …

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Gas phase rovibrational analysis of the high frequency intermolecular hydrogen bonded bending overtone 2ν0 6 [ν0=1132.4783(2) cm− 1] in HCN‐‐‐HF and its corresponding perdeuterated fundamental ν1 6 [ν0=409.1660(2) cm− 1] are reported. Evaluated rovibrational parameters provide the basis for quantitative modeling of the molecular dynamics associated with this vibration. A quantum mechanical calculation permits determination of the quadratic and quartic force constants K 6 6=537(17) and K 6 6 6 6=4.98(12) cm− 1 which in turn are used to estimate the pertinent cubic band stretching interaction constants …

Nuclear-Spin Relaxation In Molecular Solids With Reorienting Methyl And T-Butyl Groups: The Spectral Density And The State Of The Solid, Peter A. Beckmann, Audrey I. Hill, Ellen B. Kohler, Hong Yu
Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship
We have measured the temperature T dependence of the proton Zeeman relaxation rate R in polycrystalline 1,3-di-t-butylbenzene (1,3-DTB) at Larmor frequencies of ω/(2π)=8.50, 22.5, and 53.0 MHz. The relaxation is caused by the modulation of the methyl proton dipole-dipole interactions by the reorientation of the t-butyl groups [C(CH3)3] and their three constituent methyl groups (CH3).
There are two solid phases which either have a large hysteresis of at least 90 K, or are both stable below 200 K. The sample melts at 262 K. We interpret the high-temperature phase R-versus-T−1data with three models. First, we adopt a one-correlation-time model using …
Spectral Densities And Nuclear Spin Relaxation In Solids, Peter A. Beckmann
Spectral Densities And Nuclear Spin Relaxation In Solids, Peter A. Beckmann
Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship
We investigate the properties of ten spectral densities relevant for nuclear spin relaxation studies in solids. This is preceded by a brief review of nuclear spin relaxation in solids which includes a discussion of the appropriate spin-dependent interactions and the various relaxation rates which can be measured. Also, the link between nuclear spin relaxation and dielectric relaxation is discussed. Where possible and/or appropriate each of the spectral densities is expressed as a continuous distribution of Bloembergen-Purcell-Pound (or Debye) spectral densities 2ξ /(1 + ξ2 ω2) for nuclear Larmor angular frequency ω and correlation time ξ. The spectral densities are named …
A New Search For Interstellar C3, Charles L. Joseph, Theodore P. Snow, C Gregory Seab
A New Search For Interstellar C3, Charles L. Joseph, Theodore P. Snow, C Gregory Seab
Physics Faculty Publications
A new, very sensitive search for interstellar triatomic carbon has resulted in upper limits for a few diffuse clouds of order 1010 cm – 2, or about 10 – 11 with respect to hydrogen. These limits are consistent with recent cold diffuse cloud chemistry models, but may be in conflict with shocked cloud models such as those invoked to explain CH + abundances. Our results may also be argue against linear carbon-chain molecules as carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands.
The Treatment Of Exchange In Path Integral Simulations Via An Approximate Pseudopotential, Randall W. Hall
The Treatment Of Exchange In Path Integral Simulations Via An Approximate Pseudopotential, Randall W. Hall
Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
An approximate form that includes the effects of exchange is suggested for the short time propagator used in path integral simulations. The form is inspired physically by the approximation made in Hartree–Fock treatments of atoms and molecules. The approximate propagator is used with q u a n t i t a t i v e accuracy in two systems: an ideal gas of fermions localized in a three‐dimensional harmonic well and the triplet state of the sodium dimer.

We suggest the use of open bosonic string theory to compute multigluon scattering in QCD, since gauge invariance ,cyclic symmetry etc. are manifest in this approach. The method is illustrated by the computation of five gluon scattering.
Contribution Of Excited Hydrogen Atoms To Charge-Exchange Excitation Of Impurities In Fusion Plasmas, R. C. Isler, Ronald E. Olson
Contribution Of Excited Hydrogen Atoms To Charge-Exchange Excitation Of Impurities In Fusion Plasmas, R. C. Isler, Ronald E. Olson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Cross sections are calculated for charge transfer into excited states of C5+ and O7+ from collisions of C6+ and O8+ with hydrogen atoms in the n=2 and 3 levels. Effective emission cross sections that account for cascading is then derived for spectral lines emitted when the product ions decay. These are compared to the emission cross sections calculated for excitation by ground-state hydrogen. It is shown that in some circumstances the contribution from excited hydrogen atoms must be taken into account when visible lines are used to determine the oxygen or carbon density from charge-exchange spectroscopy …

Single-Electron Removal Processes In Collisions Of Positrons And Protons With Helium At Intermediate Velocities, D. R. Schultz, Ronald E. Olson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Total cross sections for single ionization and charge transfer have been calculated using the classical-trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) technique for collisions of both positrons and protons with helium. Analysis of the classical trajectories has helped to explain the differences in the collision mechanisms responsible for the observed relative magnitudes of the positron and proton electron-removal cross sections. In the intermediate collision velocity range (1.5 a.u.

Contact Resistance Measurements In Gaas Mesfet's And Modfet's By The Magneto‐Tlm Technique, David C. Look
Contact Resistance Measurements In Gaas Mesfet's And Modfet's By The Magneto‐Tlm Technique, David C. Look
Physics Faculty Publications
The standard transmission‐line model (TLM) for specific contact resistivity measurements of planar contacts is improved in two ways: (i) the addition of a magnetic field, which gives the mobility and carrier concentration of the bulk material, and the mobility of the material under the contact; and (ii) an extension to two layers, which makes the model applicable to MODFET structures. The results are applied to MESFET material, and MODFET material. One conclusion concerning the latter material is that the electrons directly beneath the annealed Au/Ge/Ni contacts have lower mobility than those in the bulk, but still …
Argon Metastable-Cadmium Dihalide Energy Transfer Collisions In A Flowing Afterglow, Christopher L. Bohler, Laird D. Schearer
Argon Metastable-Cadmium Dihalide Energy Transfer Collisions In A Flowing Afterglow, Christopher L. Bohler, Laird D. Schearer
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The energy dependence of dissociating collisions between argon metastable atoms and cadmium dihalide molecules have been studied in a flowing afterglow apparatus. The fluorescence spectra obtained in the range of 3000-7600 Å which result from the Ar(3P2) + CdX2 interactions indicate a dominant dissociative excitation production mechanism. The emission spectra are used to narrow the uncertainty in the currently accepted values for the dissociation energy of the CdX2 molecules. The Wigner spin rule (conservation of total electronic spin) was verified for these processes as shown by the dominance of final state triplet production as compared to the virtual absence of …

Molecular-Dynamics Simulation Of The Structural Phase Transition In Rb2Cacl4, D. P. Billesbach, P. J. Edwardson, John R. Hardy
John R. Hardy Papers
We have simulated the structural phase transition of one member of A2BX4 layered perovskite-like compounds, Rb2CaC14. This family of compounds may be thought of as being constructed from normal perovskite unit cells but with a different stacking arrangement. In recent months, this structural family has become extremely important since it is the parent structure from which the new class of high-temperature superconductors comes from. The simulation was done using ab initio potentials with no adjustable parameters. Our calculations show a specific-heat anomaly at 400 K which corresponds to an observed pseudorotation of the …

Spectral Momentum Density From Graphite From (E,2e) Spectroscopy: Comparison With First Principles Calculations, Chao Gao, A. L. Ritter, Jr Dennison, N. A. W. Holzwarth
Journal Articles
We have measured the spectral momentum density p(E,q) of graphite by (e,2e) spectroscopy for momentum parallel and perpendicular to the crystal c axis. In the independent-electron approximation, p(E,q) = ΣG |Uk(G)|2 δ(q-k-G)δ(E-E(k)) where the one-electron wave function is Ψk(r) = eik•rΣGUk(G)eiG•r and G is a reciprocal-lattice vector. The measurements covered a range of momentum parallel to the c axis equal to 0 ≤ |q| ≤ 1.84Å-1 and a …

The Rainbow And The Achromatic Telescope: Two Case Studies, M. Eugene Rudd
M. Eugene Rudd Publications
From the history of science we can learn not only some science and some history, but also something about how science is done and how it interacts with technology.
The First case study chosen illustrates the development of an understanding of a phenomenon of nature-one that has been observed with awe and wonder for as long as man has walked the Earth, but has only been well understood in the last 200 years. Some of the greatest thinkers of all time have worked on the problems of the rainbow.
The second study shows how an important invention became possible only …

Radiobiological Modeling Based On Track Structure, Robert Katz
Radiobiological Modeling Based On Track Structure, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
Since the interaction of beams of charged particles with targets in physics is customarily based on beam fluence and interaction cross section we have chosen the same logical structure for our radiobiological model.
Proceeding from simple to complex systems we have first constructed and verified a track structure model of observable tracks in nuclear emulsions, then of dry enzymes and viruses, of scintillation counters, of TLD’s, of the Fricke dosimeter as prerequisite to the construction of a valid radiobiological model.
For this model we require 1) knowledge of the average radial distribution of local dose about the path of an …

Electron Loss From Helium Atoms By Collisions With Fully Stripped Ions, A. E. Wetmore, Ronald E. Olson
Electron Loss From Helium Atoms By Collisions With Fully Stripped Ions, A. E. Wetmore, Ronald E. Olson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Electron-loss cross sections have been calculated for fully stripped ions with charge states +1 to +100 colliding with helium atoms in the energy range 100 1000 kev/amu. The classical-trajectory Monte Carlo method was used along with a model of the helium atom with two active electrons. The reactions studied were single and double ionization, single- and double-electron capture, and electron capture plus ionization. Cross sections for the single-electron-removal reactions agree well with experimental data. Double-electron-removal cross sections are in qualitative agreement with experimental results. The n-level distributions following electron capture show that the electron-capture plus ionization and double electron-capture processes …

All Physics Faculty Publications
As part of the MITHRAS program, the Chatanika and Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radars made coordinated observations of the polar ionosphere on June 27 and 28, 1981. The temperature data obtained during these days were compared with predictions made by a high-latitude ionospheric model. The comparison of the temperature measurements and the results of the ionospheric model depend on the assumptions made both in reducing the data and on the inputs that are needed by the model. The deduction of electron temperature from radar measurements depends upon a knowledge of the mean ion mass as a function of altitude. The …
A Model Study Of How Electric Field Structures Affect The Polar Cap F Region, Jan Josef Sojka, Robert W. Schunk
A Model Study Of How Electric Field Structures Affect The Polar Cap F Region, Jan Josef Sojka, Robert W. Schunk
All Physics Faculty Publications
A three-dimensional time-dependent ionospheric model was used to study how electric field structures affect the polar F region. The electric field structures are represented by elongated Volland two-cell models whose dimensions range from tens to 1000 km. These model structures are intended to represent the polar cap electric field for IMF Bz northward conditions. A statistical method is used to generate a set of these structures. Their electric field strength and polarity are varied in order to study the F region’s dependence on this magnetospheric input. For electric field structures whose size and electric field strengths are consistent with …
