Trapping-To-Percolation Transition In The Hopping Diffusion Of Substitutionally Disordered Solids With A Binary Energy Distribution, Paul Ernest Parris, B. D. Bookout
Trapping-To-Percolation Transition In The Hopping Diffusion Of Substitutionally Disordered Solids With A Binary Energy Distribution, Paul Ernest Parris, B. D. Bookout
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
We consider charge carriers that undergo nearest-neighbor hopping among the sites of a binary random lattice, each site of which is associated with one of two possible energies E1 or E2. A general and recently observed feature of this problem not predicted by previous treatments of disordered hopping models is a crossover between trap-limited conduction and percolation. We introduce new energy-projected equations of motion whose solutions reveal the deep conductivity minimum associated with this phenomenon, and compare the results predicted to numerical simulations.
1/N Expansions For Two-Electron Coulomb Matrix Elements, Gordon W. F. Drake, R. N. Hills
1/N Expansions For Two-Electron Coulomb Matrix Elements, Gordon W. F. Drake, R. N. Hills
Physics Publications
The study of 1/n expansions for various atomic matrix elements, where n is the principal quantum number, plays an important role in the theoretical foundations of the quantum defect method. The paper develops an expansion in powers of 1/n 2 for hydrogenic boundstate wavefunctions which can be used to calculate 1/n expansions of matrix elements. The 1/n expansions of the two-electron direct and exchange Coulomb integrals are evaluated as an example. © 1993 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Angular And Radial Correlation In Doubly Excited Systems When 1 ≤ Z ≤ 4. The 2p2 3p State, D. R. T. Keeble, K. E. Banyard, Gordon W. F. Drake
Physics Publications
The angular and radial components of electron correlation have each been examined in detail for the discrete 2p2 3P states of H-, He, Li+ and Be2+. These doubly excited systems were described by highly accurate explicitly correlated wavefunctions. The analysis involved the use of angular Coulomb holes, changes in the one- and two-particle radial density distributions and several angular and radial expectation values. Additionally, various statistical correlation coefficients were used which emphasized, in turn, angular and radial correlation properties in different regions of the two-particle density. The angular holes and related properties showed a clearly defined inverse-Z effect for He …

Quantum-electrodynamic corrections of O(mc2α6lnα) to the electron-electron interaction in helium are evaluated for several states. The additional energy shift, which is an order of α smaller than the leading Araki-Sucher terms, raises the predicted energy of the 1s2s 1S0 state by 2.49 MHz to -960 332 039.43(18) MHz relative to He+(1s). The new value significantly alters the comparison with recent high-precision experiments. © 1993 The American Physical Society.
Photon-Photon Scattering, Pion Polarizability, And Chiral-Symmetry, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein
Photon-Photon Scattering, Pion Polarizability, And Chiral-Symmetry, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein
Physics Department Faculty Publication Series
Recent attempts to detect the pion polarizability via analysis of γγ→ππ measurements are examined. The connection between calculations based on dispersion relations and on chiral perturbation theory is established by matching the low-energy chiral amplitude with that given by a full dispersive treatment. Using the values for the polarizability required by chiral symmetry, predicted and experimental cross sections are shown to be in agreement.

Dipole-Dipole Spin Relaxation In Solids. The Unrestricted Hopping Model And The Methyl Proton - Non-Methyl Proton Interaction, Christopher Palmer, Alfonso M. Albano, Peter A. Beckmann
Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship
We report proton Zeeman relaxation rates R as a function of temperature T at 8.5 and 53 MHz in polycrystalline 1,9-dimethylphenanthrene (1,9-DMP) and l-trideuteriomethyl-9-methylphenanthrene (1, 9-DMP[1-d3]). The data are interpreted using a Davidson-Cole spectral density for intramolecular reorientation and the implications of this are discussed. R vs T−1data for 1,9-DMP[1-d3] are used to determine the parameters that characterize the reorientation of the 9-methyl group. By assuming that the parameters characterizing the dynamics of the 9-methyl group are the same in 1,9-DMP and 1,9-DMP[1-d3], we subtract out the R vs T−1 contribution of the 9-methyl group in 1,9-DMP to …

User-Interface Coding For The Cern/Geant Nuclear Physics Program, David L. Roetzel, Wilfred J. Braithwaite
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Explanations will be given of the various user-written routines required by the Monte Carlo detector-modeling program GEANT, developed by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. User-written routines must be linked with the CERN library to accomplish the researcher's intentions. Examples will illustrate how GEANT passes information to subprograms needed to model events. Various data structures used by GEANT library calls and included in each user routine, are similarly illustrated. Both computational-speed and memory-size limitations need to be factored into the construction of a simulation model. This will constrain the calls used in the user-written routines. Examples are provided of …
On The System Of Diffuse Interstellar Bands At 5844 And 5850 Å, J Krelowski, Theodore P. Snow, J Papaj, C G. Seab, B Wszolek
On The System Of Diffuse Interstellar Bands At 5844 And 5850 Å, J Krelowski, Theodore P. Snow, J Papaj, C G. Seab, B Wszolek
Physics Faculty Publications
Two neighboring diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) at 5844 and 5850 Å are shown to be of different origin. The presence or absence of the 5844 DIB is related to the ratio of the two prominent DIBs at 5780 and 5797 Å as well as to the nature of the ultraviolet extinction curve. The 5844 Å DIB is very sensitive to the extinction, being completely absent in cases where the far-UV extinction is low. This suggests that the carrier is destroyed by photons having energies above 11 or 12 eV. The 5850 Å DIB correlates very well with the well-studied DIB …
Magnetic Multilayers: Quasiclassical Transport Via The Kubo Formula, Horacio E. Camblong
Magnetic Multilayers: Quasiclassical Transport Via The Kubo Formula, Horacio E. Camblong
Physics and Astronomy
A real‐space quantum approach, based on the Kubo formula, is used to describe the quasiclassical transport behavior of metallic multilayers. We emphasize the differences between the cases of current in the plane of the layers, for which size effects play a dominant role and current perpendicular to the planes, for which we provide several proofs that the so‐called series resistor model holds for all length scales.
The Force On A Sphere In A Tightly Focused Laser Beam, Marc Knudson
The Force On A Sphere In A Tightly Focused Laser Beam, Marc Knudson
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
An investigation of the trapping force on a sphere in a tightly focused laser beam is carried out using a geometrical optics approximation. This calculation generalizes earlier work by allowing the spheres to be located off the beam axis. Additionally, a fifth-order, instead of zeroth-order, Gaussian approximation is used, and beam polarization is explicitly taken into account. The results suggest an interesting experiment, involving a driven damped harmonic oscilator system, which could be performed to test the validity of the theory. This experiment will be the focus of a future study.
Phenomenological Theory Of Cuprate Superconductivity, Mario Rabinowitz, T. Mcmullen
Phenomenological Theory Of Cuprate Superconductivity, Mario Rabinowitz, T. Mcmullen
Physics Publications
Reasonably good agreement with the superconducting transitiontemperatures of the cuprate high‐T c superconductors can be obtained on the basis of an approximate phenomenological theory. In this theory, two criteria are used to calculate the superconducting transitiontemperature. One is that the quantum wavelength is of the order of the electron‐pair spacing. The other is that a fraction of the normal carriers exist as Cooper pairs at T c . The resulting simple equation for T c contains only two parameters: the normal carrier density and effective mass. We calculate specific transition temperatures for 12 cuprate superconductors.
A Track Physics Retrospective, Robert Katz
A Track Physics Retrospective, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
Many condensed matter dosimeters and detectors respond to the perspectives of track physics, a parametric model which relates their response to gamma rays to their response to heavy ions through the radial distribution of dose about a heavy ion’s path. Most dosimeters are treated as 1-hit detectors, a classification which includes emulsions, scintillators, TLDs, the Fricke dosimeter, alanine, and some biological substances: enzymes and Eschericia coli, among others. We have discovered many hit detectors. An extended model describes the killing, transformation, and mutation of biological cells after gamma and heavy ion irradiation. A detector is treated as a black box, …
Tables Of Coincidence Orientations For Ordered Tetragonal L Lo Alloys For A Range Of Axial Ratios, Abha Singh, Alexander H. King
Tables Of Coincidence Orientations For Ordered Tetragonal L Lo Alloys For A Range Of Axial Ratios, Abha Singh, Alexander H. King
Alexander H. King
In this paper we develop and apply techniques for computation of CSL, DSCL and step-vector data for grain boundaries in tetragonal materials for a range of axial ratios. This has application to L10 alloys including TiA1, which is a candidate for lightweight high-temperature structural applications. Our results are compared with others and found to be more accurate and complete. We provide data for a wider range of axial ratios than those considered by previous workers. We have also derived equivalent quaternions for tetragonal crystals in tetragonal-crystal coordinates and listed conditions for selecting a unique reduced rotation in tetragonal-crystal coordinates so …
A Geometrical Rationalization Of The Special Properties Of The 14° [001] Grain Boundary In Yba2cu3o7−Δ, Alexander H. King, Abha Singh
A Geometrical Rationalization Of The Special Properties Of The 14° [001] Grain Boundary In Yba2cu3o7−Δ, Alexander H. King, Abha Singh
Alexander H. King
14° [001] tilt grain boundaries in YBa2Cu3O7−δ have been found to exhibit anomalously good superconducting critical currents, associated with magnetic flux pinning, although no special interfacial structure has heretofore been associated with this misorientation. We present an analysis of the geometry of the grain boundary in question and show that it can correspond to a special interface, within the definition of constrained lattice coincidence, which may lead to new understanding of the superconducting behavior of grain boundaries. Our analysis shows that the tetragonal‐to‐orthorhombic phase transformation may have important effects upon grain boundary structure and properties, indicating new approaches to producing …
Doping And Pressure Studies On Ybbipt, A. Lacerda, R. Movshovich, M. F. Hundley, Paul C. Canfield, D. Arms, G. Sparn, J. D. Thompson, Z. Fisk, N. E. Philips, H.-R. Ott
Doping And Pressure Studies On Ybbipt, A. Lacerda, R. Movshovich, M. F. Hundley, Paul C. Canfield, D. Arms, G. Sparn, J. D. Thompson, Z. Fisk, N. E. Philips, H.-R. Ott
Paul C. Canfield
The compound YbBiPt exhibits an extremely large low‐temperature C/T (γ∼8 J K−2 mol−1/Yb) which, if due solely to a renormalized effective mass, would make this material the heaviest correlated electron system known to date. In the Kondo model, the very large γ corresponds to a small characteristic energy scale that is expected to be pressure dependent. We have studied the effect of chemical pressure on YbBiPt single crystals by heat‐capacity measurements on Y and Lu‐doped samples. We have also made preliminary low‐temperature measurements under hydrostatic pressure of the heat capacity (300 mK≤T≤2 K, up to 8 kbar) and resistance (30 …
F-Region Plasma Drifts Over Arecibo: Solar Cycle, Seasonal And Magnetic Activityeffects, Bela G. Fejer
F-Region Plasma Drifts Over Arecibo: Solar Cycle, Seasonal And Magnetic Activityeffects, Bela G. Fejer
Bela G. Fejer
We have used Arecibo incoherent scatter measurements from 1981 to 1990 to determine the characteristics of low-latitude F region plasma drifts. The measurements show large day-to-day variability even during magnetically quiet periods. The average poleward/perpendicular plasma drifts do not change significantly with season and solar cycle except in the midnight-morning sector. The zonal drifts show clear solar cycle and seasonal effects. The afternoon-nighttime eastward drifts increase with solar flux; the westward drifts in the early morning-afternoon sector show a large increase from summer to winter but are independent of solar activity. The two perpendicular velocity components also respond differently to …
Nqr Study Of Local Structure And Cooling Rate‐Dependent Superconductivity In La2cuo4+Δ, A. P. Reyes, E. T. Ahrens, P. C. Hammel, J. D. Thompson, Paul C. Canfield, Z. Fisk, R. H. Heffner, J. E. Schirber
Nqr Study Of Local Structure And Cooling Rate‐Dependent Superconductivity In La2cuo4+Δ, A. P. Reyes, E. T. Ahrens, P. C. Hammel, J. D. Thompson, Paul C. Canfield, Z. Fisk, R. H. Heffner, J. E. Schirber
Paul C. Canfield
Preliminary results of structural studies in oxygen‐annealed La2CuO4+δ(δ∼0.03) using 139La nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy are reported. Superconducting critical temperatures were found to depend on the rate of cooling through a narrow temperature range near 195 K. Analysis of the 139La NQR spectra reveal that lanthanum atoms in the oxygen‐rich metallic region occupy two sites having different local environments. One site has a structural configuration closely related to the stoichiometric oxygen‐poor compound. The second appears only below 200 K and exhibits a large shift and broad distribution of NQR frequency ν Q . Shifts in ν Q in the vicinity …
Timestamp Semantics And Representation., Curtis Dyreson, Richard T. Snodgrass
Timestamp Semantics And Representation., Curtis Dyreson, Richard T. Snodgrass
Curtis Dyreson
Many database Management systems and operating systems provide support for time values. At the physical level time values are known as timestamps. A timestamp has a physical realization and a temporal interpretation. The physical realization is a pattern of bits while the temporal interpretation is the meaning of each bit pattern, that is, the time each pattern represents. All previous proposals defined timestamps in terms of seconds. However, as we show, there are at least seven definitions of this fundamental time unit. We propose a more precise temporal interpretation, the time-line clock, that constructs a time-line by using different well-defined …
A Fast Serial Algorithm For The Finite Temperature Quenched Potts Model, Gregory N. Hassold, Elizabeth A. Holm
A Fast Serial Algorithm For The Finite Temperature Quenched Potts Model, Gregory N. Hassold, Elizabeth A. Holm
Physics Publications
An efficient serial algorithm for finite temperature, quenched Potts model simulations of domain evolution has been developed. This ''n‐fold way'' algorithm eliminates unsuccessful spin flip attempts a priori by flipping sites with a frequency proportional to their site activity, defined as the sum of the probability of success for every possible spin flip at that site. Finite temperature efficiency for high‐spin degeneracy systems is achieved by utilizing a new, analytical expression for the portion of the site activity due to flips to non-neighbor spin values. Hence, to determine the activity of a site, only flips to the …
Quantam Wave Turbulence, Alejandro Garcia, M. Haeri, S. Putterman, P. Roberts
Quantam Wave Turbulence, Alejandro Garcia, M. Haeri, S. Putterman, P. Roberts
Faculty Publications
The nonlinear quantum kinetic equation for the interaction of sound waves is solved via analytic and numerical techniques. In the classical regime energy cascades to higher frequency (ω) according to the steady-state power law ω-3/2. In the quantum limit, the system prefers a reverse cascade of energy which follows the power law ω-6. Above a critical flux, a new type of spectrum appears which is neither self-similar nor close to equilibrium. This state of nonlinear quantum wave turbulence represents a flow of energy directly from the classical source to the quantum degrees of freedom.
Pairwise And Many-Body Contributions To Interaction Potentials In He(N) Clusters, Carol A. Parish, Clifford E. Dykstra
Pairwise And Many-Body Contributions To Interaction Potentials In He(N) Clusters, Carol A. Parish, Clifford E. Dykstra
Chemistry Faculty Publications
High level ab initio calculations have been carried out to assess the pairwise additivity of potentials in the attractive or well regions of the potential surfaces of clusters of helium atoms. A large basis set was employed and calculations were done at the Brueckner orbital coupled cluster level. Differences between calculated potentials for several interacting atoms and the corresponding summed pair potentials reveal the three‐body and certain higher order contributions to the interaction strengths. Attraction between rare gas atoms develops from dispersion, and so helium clusters provide the most workable systems for analyzing nonadditivity of dispersion. The results indicate that …

New Asga Related Center In Gaas, David C. Look, Z-Q. Fang, J. R. Sizelove, C. E. Stutz
Physics Faculty Publications
A new center related to AsGa has been found at relatively high concentrations (1017 cm-;3) in semi‐insulating (2×10;7 Ω cm) molecular beam epitaxial GaAs grown at 400 °C. Although the ir photoquenching and thermal recovery characteristics are nearly identical to those of ;EL2, the thermal activation energy is only 0.65±0.01 eV, much lower than the ;EL2 value of 0.75±0.01 eV. Other properties which are different include the electron‐capture barrier energy, hyperfine constant, and magnetic circular dichroism spectrum.
Contributions Of The Low-Latitude Boundary Layer To The Finite Width Magnetotail Convection Model, Harlan E. Spence, M. G. Kivelson
Contributions Of The Low-Latitude Boundary Layer To The Finite Width Magnetotail Convection Model, Harlan E. Spence, M. G. Kivelson
Physics & Astronomy
Convection of plasma within the terrestrial nightside plasma sheet contributes to the structure and, possibly, the dynamical evolution of the magnetotail. In order to characterize the steady state convection process, we have extended the finite tail width model of magnetotail plasma sheet convection. The model assumes uniform plasma sources and accounts for both the duskward gradient/curvature drift and the earthward E × B drift of ions in a two-dimensional magnetic geometry. During periods of slow convection (i.e., when the cross-tail electric potential energy is small relative to the source plasma's thermal energy), there is a significant net duskward displacement of …

Mass And Mixing-Angle Patterns In The Standard Model And Its Minimal Supersymmetric Extension, H. Arason, Diego Castano, E. J. Piard, P. Ramond
Chemistry and Physics Faculty Articles
Using renormalization group techniques, we examine several interesting relations among masses and mixing angles of quarks and leptons in the standard model. We extend the analysis to the minimal supersymmetric extension to determine its effect on these mass relations. Remarkably supersymmetry allows for these relations to be satisfied at a single grand unified scale.
The Production And Escape Of Nitrogen Atoms On Mars, Jane L. Fox
The Production And Escape Of Nitrogen Atoms On Mars, Jane L. Fox
Physics Faculty Publications
We have computed the production rates and densities of odd nitrogen species in the Martian atmosphere using updated rate coefficients and a revised ionosphere-thermosphere model. We find that the computed densities of NO are somewhat smaller than those measured by Viking 1, but reasonable agreement can be obtained by assuming that the rate coefficient for loss of odd nitrogen in the reaction of N with NO is smaller at temperatures that prevail in the lower Martian thermosphere (about 130–160 K) than the standard value, which applies to temperatures of 200–400 K. We have also modeled the escape fluxes of N …
Recovery Of Quenched Hopping Conduction In Gaas-Layers Grown By Molecular-Beam Epitaxy At 200-Degrees-C, David C. Look, Z-Q. Fang, J. R. Sizelove
Recovery Of Quenched Hopping Conduction In Gaas-Layers Grown By Molecular-Beam Epitaxy At 200-Degrees-C, David C. Look, Z-Q. Fang, J. R. Sizelove
Physics Faculty Publications
The dark current at 82 K, in GaAs layers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy at 200 °C and annealed at 550 °C, is reduced by a factor 350 after 5 min of IR (hν<~1.12 eV) light illumination. As temperature is swept upward at 0.2 K/s, the current recovers rapidly near 130 K. A numerical analysis of the current recovery, based on hopping conduction, gives an excellent fit to the data for a thermal recovery rate r=3×108 exp(-0.26/kT), very close to the rate observed for EL2 (AsGa). This proves that the conduction below 300 K in this material is due to hopping between AsGa-related centers in their ground states. Variable-range hopping [exp-(T0/T)1/4] gives a slightly better fit to the data than nearest-neighbor hopping [exp(-ɛ3/kT)] in the range T=82-160 K, but the fitted recovery …~1.12>
Temporal Development Of Electric Field Structures In Photoconductive Gaas Switches, K. H. Schoenbach, J. S. Kenney, F.E. Peterkin, R. J. Allen
Temporal Development Of Electric Field Structures In Photoconductive Gaas Switches, K. H. Schoenbach, J. S. Kenney, F.E. Peterkin, R. J. Allen
Bioelectrics Publications
The temporal development of the electric field distribution in semi‐insulating GaAs photoconductive switches operated in the linear and lock‐on mode has been studied. The field structure was obtained by recording a change in the absorption pattern of the switch due to the Franz–Keldysh effect at a wavelength near the band edge of GaAs. In the linear mode, a high field layer develops at the cathode contact after laser activation. With increasing applied voltage, domainlike structures become visible in the anode region and the switch transits into the lock‐on state, a permanent filamentary electrical discharge. Calibration measurements show the field intensity …
