Magnetic Properties Of The Rare-Earth Glasses (R65Fe35)100-XBX, J.A. Gerber, S.G. Cornelison, W.L. Burmester, David J. Sellmyer Mar 1979

Magnetic Properties Of The Rare-Earth Glasses (R65Fe35)100-XBX, J.A. Gerber, S.G. Cornelison, W.L. Burmester, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Results are reported on the magnetic properties of (R65Fe35)100-xBx glasses, where R denotes Y, Gd, and Er, and x is 10 or 20. Curie-Weiss fits were made to high temperature susceptibility data to determine average effective moments per magnetic ion and Weiss temperatures. Hysteresis loops and modified Arrott plots were used to determine the spontaneous magnetizations, coercive forces, and ordering temperatures. The effective moments and spontaneous moments are compared with those calculated on the assumption of local moments on both magnetic subnetworks, and assuming various spin structures. There is evidence for moment instabilities …

Proton Spin Relaxation And Methyl And Hydroxy Group Motion, Peter A. Beckmann Jan 1979

Proton Spin Relaxation And Methyl And Hydroxy Group Motion, Peter A. Beckmann

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

Proton spin-lattice relaxation rates R = T1−1 have been measured in powdered samples of 4-methyl-2,6-di-tertiarybutyl phenol between 77 and 170 K. Deuteration of the hydroxy proton leads to a large change in R in the vicinity of the 120-K R maximum and in the high-temperature region. The data are successfully, although probably not uniquely, fitted and the interpretation suggests that in addition to the motion of the hydroxy proton playing a significant role in the relaxation, the two pairs of t-butyl methyl groups also contributing are inequivalent. The departure, at low temperatures, from an ω−2dependence of R where …

High Latitude Plasma Convection: Predictions For Eiscat And Sondre Stromfjord, Jan Josef Sojka, W. John Raitt, Robert W. Schunk Jan 1979

High Latitude Plasma Convection: Predictions For Eiscat And Sondre Stromfjord, Jan Josef Sojka, W. John Raitt, Robert W. Schunk

All Physics Faculty Publications

We have used a plasma convection model to predict diurnal patterns of horizontal drift velocities in the vicinity of the EISCAT incoherent scatter facility at Tromso, Norway and for Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, a proposed new incoherent scatter facility site. The convection model includes the offset of 11.4° between the geographic and geomagnetic poles (northern hemisphere), the tendency of plasma to corotate about the geographic pole, and a magnetospheric electric field mapped to a circle about a center offset by 5° in the antisunward direction from the magnetic pole. Four different magnetospheric electric field configurations were considered, including a constant cross‐ …

Laf3 Insulators For Mis Structures, A. Sher, W. E. Miller, Y. H. Tsuo, John A. Moriarty, R. K. Crouch, B. A. Seiber

Physics Publications

Thin films of Laf3 deposited on Si or GaAs substrates have been observed to form blocking contacts with very high capacitances. This results in comparatively‐hysteresis‐free and sharpC‐V (capacitance‐voltage) characteristics for MIS structures. Such structures have been used to study the interface states of GaAs with increased resolution and to construct improved photocapacitive infrared detectors.

Effect Of Displaced Geomagnetic And Geographic Poles On High-Latitude Plasma Convection And Ionospheric Depletions, Jan Josef Sojka, W. J. Raitt, Robert W. Schunk Jan 1979

Effect Of Displaced Geomagnetic And Geographic Poles On High-Latitude Plasma Convection And Ionospheric Depletions, Jan Josef Sojka, W. J. Raitt, Robert W. Schunk

All Physics Faculty Publications

We assumed that the ionospheric plasma at high latitudes has a tendency to corotate about the geographic pole and that magnetospheric convection is relative to the geomagnetic pole. With this assumption we calculated plasma drift patterns over the polar cap for a range of constant magnetospheric electric fields as well as for asymmetric electric fields with enhanced plasma flow on either the dawnside or the duskside of the polar cap. We calculated the drift patterns in both the geographic inertial and the geomagnetic inertial frame taking into account the displacement between the geographic and geomagnetic poles. We found that this …

Excitation Of Cd, Zn, And Sr By A Beam Of Active Nitrogen, D. W. Fahey, William F. Parks, Laird D. Schearer Jan 1979

Excitation Of Cd, Zn, And Sr By A Beam Of Active Nitrogen, D. W. Fahey, William F. Parks, Laird D. Schearer

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Excitation of the electronic levels of Cd, Zn, and Sr is observed when these metal vapors collide with a thermal-energy, active nitrogen beam. The beam is extracted from a glow discharge in pure N2. The active beam component is inferred to be vibrationally excited N2 in the A 3Σu+ electronic state. The absolute relative intensity of the emission lines in each element was measured. The excitation rates of the Cd and Zn target levels were found to depend exponentially on their energies indicating an effective temperature of approximately 4000°K. We believe that this temperature is related to the vibrational temperature …

The Modification And Use Of An Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer For Data Collection At Liquid Nitrogen Temperature, Vernon Lee Baumberger Jan 1979

The Modification And Use Of An Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer For Data Collection At Liquid Nitrogen Temperature, Vernon Lee Baumberger

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The scope of this study includes the modification of an EPR spectrometer for acquisition of low temperature data. The modification involved adaptation of the system for use with a cylindrical cavity specifically designed for low temperature operation. This modification increased the capability of the present system for data collection at liquid nitrogen temperature and gave such greater stability than the rectangular cavity previously used. A comparison was made of signal to noise for the two cavities. This study showed a somewhat greater signal to noise ratio for the low temperature cylindrical cavity. Operation at low temperature also allowed the observation …

Nonlinear Anelasticity And The Martensitic Transformation, Manfred Wuttig, Tetsuro Suzuki Jan 1979

Nonlinear Anelasticity And The Martensitic Transformation, Manfred Wuttig, Tetsuro Suzuki

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Zener's model of a standard linear solid is extended to include nonlinearities characteristic of metals and alloys in the vicinity of a martensitic transformation. The equation of motion of a nonlinear anelastic solid is derived and solved using van der Pol's method. The characteristics of the solutions indicate that auto-oscillations of finite amplitude can be excited externally. It is proposed that the streaming oscillations represent the beat between the external excitation and the auto-oscillation. © 1979.

Distortion Isomerism In Ferrous Thiourea Complexes - Ii(1) Thermodynamics And Kinetics, R. Latorre, J. A. Costamagna, E. Frank, C. R. Abeledo, R. B. Frankel

Physics

Mössbauer spectroscopy as a function of temperature of Fe(II)(N,N′-dicyclohexyl-thiourea)6(ClO4)2(FeDCTU) shows the existence of two isomeric forms A and B which coexist in the temperature range 200 < T < 300 K. The relative concentrations of A and B were studied as a function of time at different temperatures in the coexistence region. From the equilibrium constant as a function of temperature we obtain the following thermodynamic parameters: ΔH = −4520 ± 120 cal/mol and δS = 20 ± 0.1 e.u. The kinetics seem to follow an ordinary first order law but with an unusual temperature dependence of the rate constant k1. The results are discussed in terms of hydrogen bonded interactions between the perchlorate anions and the cyclohexylthiourea moieties.

Temperature Dependence Of The Electron Attachment Coefficient In Iodine, Howard L. Brooks, Scott R. Hunter, Kaare J. Nygaard Jan 1979

Temperature Dependence Of The Electron Attachment Coefficient In Iodine, Howard L. Brooks, Scott R. Hunter, Kaare J. Nygaard

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The attachment coefficient for iodine in a (1% I2+99% N 2) mixture, 50 Torr total pressure, has been measured in an electron swarm experiment from 1 to 50 Townsends (1 Townsend=1Td=10-17 V cm2). As the temperature was increased from 35 to 110°C, the attachment coefficient increased for any E/N (electric field intensity/gas number density) values greater than 7 Td. These results are compared to other experimental data and an explanation for the temperature dependence, based on the population of upper vibrational states, is presented. © 1979 American Institute of Physics.

Nucleation Experiments with Monodisperse NaCl Aerosols Showed Good Agreement with the Kohler Theory Relating the Critical Super-Saturation S//c to the Dry Size. Aerosols Produced by Condensing NaCl Showed the Same S//c as Those Produced by Evaporating Aqueous NaCl Solution Droplets. This Indicates that If There is an Energy Barrier in Going from a Dry NaCl Particle to a Solution Droplet, This Energy Barrier is Small. the Fact that the Evaporation Aerosol Particles Are Cubical Crystals and the Condensation Aerosols Are Amorphous Spheres is Shown to Make No Difference in the Nucleation Threshold. the Investigation Also Gives Insights into the Performance …

Ferromagnetism In Freshwater Bacteria, Richard P. Blakemore, Richard B. Frankel, Ralph S. Wolfe Jan 1979

Ferromagnetism In Freshwater Bacteria, Richard P. Blakemore, Richard B. Frankel, Ralph S. Wolfe

Physics

Magnetotactic bacteria isolated from swamp water were grown in pure culture in the laboratory. This newly isolated species was cultured in the magnetic and the nonmagnetic state. Magnetic cells, which were rich in iron, also produced particles similar to those found previously in other magnetic bacteria of marshes and bogs. By contrast, their nonmagnetic counterparts had much lower iron levels and lacked the crystal structures. Mossbauer spectroscopic analyses of whole cells of magnetic bacteria indicated that they contained the mineral magnetite.

Proton-Spin-Resonance Relaxation Times Near The Ordering Transition In Nh4cl, Rolfe G. Petschek Jan 1979

Proton-Spin-Resonance Relaxation Times Near The Ordering Transition In Nh4cl, Rolfe G. Petschek

Faculty Scholarship

We consider the relaxation time of the NMR line of protons in NH4Cl, near the ordering transition. We show that because of the symmetry of the system, the major contribution to the random fluctuations responsible for the relaxation are due to motions that are not critically slowed. As a consequence we expect the singular behavior of the relaxation rate to be like that of the energy near the critical point.

Stable Equilibrium Statistical States For Spheromaks, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala Jan 1979

Stable Equilibrium Statistical States For Spheromaks, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Incompressible nondissipative magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is treated for spherical systems. From the absolute equilibrium expectation values of the fields one can investigate those initially quiescent states for which no large mean square velocity will develop. This stable state is force-free and gives rise to the Hill vortex structure for the magnetic flux surfaces.

Energy And Angular Distributions Of Secondary Electrons From 5-100-Kev-Proton Collisions With Hydrogen And Nitrogen Molecules, M. Eugene Rudd Jan 1979

Energy And Angular Distributions Of Secondary Electrons From 5-100-Kev-Proton Collisions With Hydrogen And Nitrogen Molecules, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Cross sections for the ejection of electrons from hydrogen and nitrogen by protons have been measured as a function of the energy and angle of ejection of the electrons at incident proton energies of 5-70 keV and 100 keV for hydrogen. The range of angles measured was 10-160° and the electron energy range was 1.5-300 eV. The doubly differential cross sections were also integrated over angle, over electron energy, or over both to obtain singly differential and total cross sections for electron production. Average electron energies were also calculated from the data. The angular distributions of electrons are peaked in …

Negative Ion Production Rates In Rare Gas-Halide Lasers, Kaare J. Nygaard, Howard L. Brooks, Scott R. Hunter Jan 1979

Negative Ion Production Rates In Rare Gas-Halide Lasers, Kaare J. Nygaard, Howard L. Brooks, Scott R. Hunter

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper reports on dissociative electron attachment in F2, NF3, Cl2, and I2. The principle of the method is to produce a short burst of photoelectrons from a photocathode by means of light from an argon-fluoride laser. Subsequently, by studying the motion of electrons and negative ions in a constant electric field (E) region, information is obtained about drift velocities and effective attachment cross sections. Helium, argon, and nitrogen were used as buffer gases. Of particular interest is a very strong temperature dependence of the attachment coefficient in I2. Measurements were taken from 35 to 110°C, covering an E/N range …

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The results of an effective field calculation of the phase diagram and order parameters for a random exchange Ising model are presented. This calculation was based on an exchange coupled pair instead of the single-spin molecular-field theory. This approach should be an improvement over the infinite-ranged models because it includes localized effects. The results indicate that the local disorder effects are especially important at low temperatures. © 1979, THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN. All rights reserved.

The molecular interactions in a carboxylic acid/sodium carboxylate compound which is a liquid at room temperature were calculated using a CNDO/2 approach. The calculations gave results distinguishing the energy for different conformations in the molecular compound. The maximum binding energy was found for a structure in which the four acids were bridging with a hydrogen bond from the acid OH group to the carboxylate group and the acid carbonyl groups forming a ligand bond to the carboxylate sodium ion. © 1979 Academic Press, Inc.

Alignment Of Ions In Penning Collisions, D. W. Fahey, Laird D. Schearer, William F. Parks Jan 1979

Alignment Of Ions In Penning Collisions, D. W. Fahey, Laird D. Schearer, William F. Parks

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The authors have observed the alignment of the 5p P322 state of strontium ions produced in Penning collisions between an unpolarized beam of helium metastable atoms and a strontium vapor target. The alignment is shown by a linear polarization of the optical emission from the excited ion. For a 66-meV beam of helium metastable atoms a 3.5% linear polarization of the emission relative to the beam axis was measured. It is shown how the alignment may be used to determine the probabilities for populating the various final Quasi molecular states of the ion-atom pair. The alignment of the Penning ions …

Perturbation Theory In A Strong-Interaction Regime With Application To 4d-Subshell Spectra Of Ba And La, Göran Wendin, Anthony F. Starace Dec 1978

Perturbation Theory In A Strong-Interaction Regime With Application To 4d-Subshell Spectra Of Ba And La, Göran Wendin, Anthony F. Starace

Anthony F. Starace Publications

We investigate the behavior of a bound electron–hole excitation in an energy region where the response of the system is highly resonant and shows strong collective behavior. Formulae for calculating discrete energy levels and wavefunctions are presented for the case where the perturbation is strong enough to change the nodal structure of the perturbed wavefunctions relative to that of the unperturbed wavefunctions. This change in nodal structure requires a renaming of the associated atomic states. Neglect of such renaming is shown to have been at the root of a recent controversy between differing interpretations, based on alternative calculational procedures, of …
