Rotational And Hyperfine Analysis Of Aus, Ian A. Wyse
Rotational And Hyperfine Analysis Of Aus, Ian A. Wyse
Macalester Journal of Physics and Astronomy
Gas phase diatomic gold sulfide, AuS, was analyzed using optical spectroscopy. High-resolution spectra were collected and characterized and a global fit of the A2∑+-X2∏3/2 (0,0), B2∑–-X2∏3/2 (0,0), and C2Δ3/2-X2∏1/2 (0,0) transitions at 15570 cm-1, 16290 cm-1, and 17670 cm-1 was compiled and resulted in rotational constant determinations for the A2∑+((2σ)1(4π)4), B2∑–((2σ)2(4π)2(2σ*)1), and C2Δ3/2 …
The Dawn Of New Quantum Dots: Synthesis And Characterization Of Ge1-Xsnx Nanocrystals For Tunable Bandgaps., Richard J. Esteves
The Dawn Of New Quantum Dots: Synthesis And Characterization Of Ge1-Xsnx Nanocrystals For Tunable Bandgaps., Richard J. Esteves
Theses and Dissertations
Ge1-xSnx alloys are among a small class of benign semiconductors with composition tunable bandgaps in the near-infrared spectrum. As the amount of Sn is increased the band energy decreases and a transition from indirect to direct band structure occurs. Hence, they are prime candidates for fabrication of Si-compatible electronic and photonic devices, field effect transistors, and novel charge storage device applications. Success has been achieved with the growth of Ge1-xSnx thin film alloys with Sn compositions up to 34%. However, the synthesis of nanocrystalline alloys has proven difficult due to larger discrepancies (~14%) in …
A Prototype Visible To Near-Infrared Spectrograph For The Chara Array, A Long-Baseline Stellar Interferometer, Chad Elliott Ogden
A Prototype Visible To Near-Infrared Spectrograph For The Chara Array, A Long-Baseline Stellar Interferometer, Chad Elliott Ogden
Physics and Astronomy Dissertations
This work is a description of the Visible to near Infrared Spectrograph system for the CHARA array. The CHARA Array is a 6-telescope interferometer at the Mount Wilson Observatory in the mountains north of Pasadena, California. It combines the light from the 1-meter telescopes, and measures the visibility of the resulting interference fringes, which gives information about the source intensity distribution on the sky. The resolution of the instrument is proportional to the telescope separation, or baseline, divided by the wavelength. The VIS system operates in the 600-1000~nm wavelength range, a factor of 3 to 4 shorter than the standard …
Transition Probabilities In Kr Ii And Kr Iii Spectra, Stevan Djenize, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Milan S. Dimitrijevic
Transition Probabilities In Kr Ii And Kr Iii Spectra, Stevan Djenize, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Milan S. Dimitrijevic
Articles
On the basis of the relative line intensity ratio (RLIR) method, transition probability values of the spontaneous emission (Einstein's A values) of 14 transitions in the singly (Kr II) and 7 transitions in doubly (Kr III) ionized krypton spectra have been obtained relatively to the reference A values related to the 435.548 nm Kr II and 324.569 nm Kr III, the most intensive transitions in the Kr II and Kr III spectra. Our Kr III transition probability values are the first data obtained experimentally using the RLIR method. A linear, low–pressure, pulsed arc operated in krypton discharge was used as …

The He I 706.52 Nm Line Shape Characteristics In The Plasma Diagnostics, Vladimir Milosavljevic, Stevan Djenize
Articles
On the basis of the precisely recorded 706.52 nm He I line shape we have obtained the basic plasma parameters i.e. electron temperature (T) and electron density (N) using our new line deconvolution procedure in the case of five various plasmas created in a linear, low–pressure, pulsed arc discharge. Plasma parameters have been also measured using independent experimental diagnostical techniques. Excellent agreement was found among the two sets of the obtained parameters. This enables our deconvolution procedure to recommendation for plasma diagnostical purposes, especially in astrophysics where direct measurements of the plasma parameters (T and …
