We have observed dielectronic and direct excitation of H-like S15+ and Ca19+ and He-like Ti20+ ions in silicon channels caused by collision with weakly bound target electrons which behave as a free-electron gas. As in vacuo, relaxation of the doubly excited states can occur radiatively leading to ions of decreased charge, but in a crystal channel collisional effects can cause double ionization. The effects are seen in both the x-ray yields and charge-state fractions, and, in the case of Ti20+, in charge-state x-ray coincidences.
Analytical Determination Of The Complex Dielectric Function Of An Absorbing Medium From Two Angles Of Incidence Of Minimum Parallel Reflectance, R. M.A. Azzam
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications
The real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric function (or complex refractive index) of an opaque substrate or a thick film can be determined from two pseudo-Brewster angles measured in two transparent incidence media of different refractive indices. This two-angle method is simple in that it involves no photometric or polarimetric analysis and in that the solution for the optical properties in terms of the measured angles is explicit, analytical, and direct (i.e. noniterative). The two-angle method is demonstrated for an opaque TiN film on a Cleartran ZnS substrate as a specific example. The effect of angle-of-incidence errors on …

Magnetic Ordering Of Thin Gd Overlayers, D. Lagraffe, Peter A. Dowben, M. Onellion
Magnetic Ordering Of Thin Gd Overlayers, D. Lagraffe, Peter A. Dowben, M. Onellion
Peter Dowben Publications
1–6-monolayer-thick films of Gd have been studied with use of synchrotron-radiation photoemission. A method is described that utilizes the linear light polarization to obtain information about the overlayer magnetization. The method is complementary to electron-spin-polarization techniques. The thinner Gd overlayers exhibit a local magnetization component along the surface normal that decreases for thicker overlayers. The Gd films exhibit a 5d exchange splitting that changes from approximately 1.1 to 0.6 eV as the overlayer thickness increases.
Mixed-Crystal Lattice Dynamics Of HfXTi1-XSe2, Vanvilai Katkanant, Roger D. Kirby
Mixed-Crystal Lattice Dynamics Of HfXTi1-XSe2, Vanvilai Katkanant, Roger D. Kirby
Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications
The first-order Raman spectra of the mixed-crystal layered compound HfxTi1-xSe2 have been studied over the whole range of concentrations 0≤x≤1. Both pure compounds, TiSe2 and HfSe2, have the CdI2 structure and so have two Raman-active phonons of A1g phonon is at about 205 cm -1. As x is decreased from 1.0, a new Raman peak, of A1g symmetry, appears near 180 cm -1. As x is decreased further, this peak shifts smoothly upwards in frequency, until it finally merges (by x=0.05) with the pure TiSe2 A …
Uniformity Of 3-In, Semi-Insulating, Vertical-Gradient-Freeze Gaas Wafers, David C. Look, D. C. Walters, M. G. Mier, J. S. Sewell, J. S. Sizelove, A. Akselrad, J. E. Clemans
Uniformity Of 3-In, Semi-Insulating, Vertical-Gradient-Freeze Gaas Wafers, David C. Look, D. C. Walters, M. G. Mier, J. S. Sewell, J. S. Sizelove, A. Akselrad, J. E. Clemans
Physics Faculty Publications
We have evaluated the uniformity in [EL2], dislocation (or etch‐pit) density (EPD), resistivity, mobility, and carrier concentration for 3‐in., semi‐insulating GaAs wafers grown by the vertical‐gradient‐freeze (VGF) technique. Although slight W or U patterns were observed in [EL2] and EPD along the 〈110〉 directions, for the first time, nevertheless the overall uniformity was excellent, and comparable to that in the best In‐doped and whole‐boule‐annealed ingots grown by the liquid‐encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) technique. Based on results from implant‐activation studies on LEC wafers, it is estimated that the measured nonuniformities in EPD and [EL2] for the VGF wafers would contribute only about …

Chemical Vapor Deposition Of Boron And Boron Nitride From Decaborane(L4) A), Yoon Gi Kim, Peter A. Dowben, J.T. Spencer, G.O. Ramseyer
Peter Dowben Publications
We have investigated photoassisted, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and pyrolytic deposition of boron from decaborane (B10H14) and boron nitride from decaborane combined with nitrogen or ammonia. The use of decaborane for depositing boron and boron nitride thin films is seen as a viable alternative to diborane or boron halides.
Single And Double-Electron Removal From H− In Energetic Collisions With Multiply-Charged Argon Ions, F. Melchert, W. Debus, M. Liehr, Ronald E. Olson, E. Salzborn
Single And Double-Electron Removal From H− In Energetic Collisions With Multiply-Charged Argon Ions, F. Melchert, W. Debus, M. Liehr, Ronald E. Olson, E. Salzborn
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Absolute cross-sections have been measured and compared to CTMC-calculations for single and double-electron removal from H− in collisions with Arq+ ions (q ≤ 8) at Ec.m. = 50 keV. The single-electron removal cross-sections are found to scale with q1.3, and for the H− + Ar4+ system, this cross-section is found to have a weak energy dependence from 3 keV to 100 keV. A major implication of our measurements is that plasma neutralizers based on multiply charged ions for high-efficiency conversion of intense H− beams into H0 gain little in expected reduced …
Topological Gauge Theory And Twistors, V. Parameswaran Nair, Jeremy Schiff
Topological Gauge Theory And Twistors, V. Parameswaran Nair, Jeremy Schiff
Publications and Research
By use of harmonic superfields, Witten’s topological gauge theory is written as a field theory on a supertwistor space. Further, using the realisation of complex compactified Minkowski space as a quadric in CP5, we show that the theory has a simple formulation in terms of analytic superfields on super-CP5 × CP3 .
A Comparison Of Magnetite Particles Produced Anaerobically By Magnetotactic And Dissimilatory Iron‐Reducing Bacteria, Bruce M. Moskowitz, Richard B. Frankel, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Holger W. Jannasch, Derek R. Lovley
A Comparison Of Magnetite Particles Produced Anaerobically By Magnetotactic And Dissimilatory Iron‐Reducing Bacteria, Bruce M. Moskowitz, Richard B. Frankel, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Holger W. Jannasch, Derek R. Lovley
Physics
We compare the magnetic properties of fine‐grained magnetite produced by two newly isolated anaerobic bacteria, a magnetotactic bacterium (MV‐1) and a dissimilatory iron‐reducing bacterium (GS‐15). Although room‐temperature magnetic properties are generally different between the two microorganisms, MV‐1 and GS‐15 magnetites can be most easily distinguished by the temperature variation of saturation remanence obtained at liquid helium temperatures. Magnetite produced by MV‐1 displays a sharp discontinuity in intensity at 100 K related to the Verwey transition. Magnetite produced by GS‐15 displays a gradual decrease in intensity with temperature due to the progressive unblocking of magnetization. The differing behavior is due exclusively …
Nuclear Fragmentation Energy And Momentum Transfer Distributions In Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions, Ferdous Khan
Nuclear Fragmentation Energy And Momentum Transfer Distributions In Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions, Ferdous Khan
Physics Theses & Dissertations
An optical model description of energy and momentum transfer in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, based upon composite particle multiple scattering theory, is presented. Transverse and longitudinal momentum transfers to the projectile are shown to arise from the real and absorptive part of the optical potential, respectively. Comparisons of fragment momentum distribution observables with experiments are made and trends outlined based on our knowledge of the underlying nucleon-nucleon interaction. Corrections to the above calculations are discussed. Finally, use of the model as a tool for estimating collision impact parameters is indicated.
Evaluation Of Equilibrium Turbulence For A Hypersonic Boundary Layer At Nonadiabatic Wall Conditions, Cindy W. Albertson
Evaluation Of Equilibrium Turbulence For A Hypersonic Boundary Layer At Nonadiabatic Wall Conditions, Cindy W. Albertson
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
This paper presents an experimental study to characterize the compressible turbulent boundary layer produced along a flat plate in the NASA Langley 8-Foot High Temperature Tunnel and determine the test conditions necessary to achieve equilibrium turbulence. In addition, the present study extends the data base for equilibrium compressible turbulent boundary layers over quasi-isothermal walls which are far from the adiabatic wall temperature. The measurements consist of pilot pressure, static pressure, and total temperature distributions in the boundary layer. A flat plate measuring 9.7 feet long and 4.3, feet wide was used for the study to provide a naturally turbulent boundary …
Thermally Activated Methyl And T-Butyl Group Reorientation In Solids, Peter A. Beckmann
Thermally Activated Methyl And T-Butyl Group Reorientation In Solids, Peter A. Beckmann
Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship
We reinterpret proton spin-lattice relaxation measurements in solid 1,4-di-t-butylbenzene (1,4-DTB) [P. A. Beckmann, F. A. Fusco, and A. E. O'Neill, J. Magn. Reson. 59 63 (1984)] in light of a recent study of solid 1,3-DTB [P. A. Beckmann, A. I. Hill, E. B. Kohler, and H. Yu, Phys. Rev. B 38 11098 (1988))]. We investigate the relationship between the spectral density that characterizes the intramolecular reorientation of the t-butyl groups and their constituent methyl groups in DTB, and the t-butyl group environment which dictates the symmetry of the local electrostatic potential. For both isomers, if one assumes a sixfold potential, …
Lossless Propagation Of Optical Pulses Through N-Level Systems With Gell-Mann Symmetry, Foek T. Hioe
Lossless Propagation Of Optical Pulses Through N-Level Systems With Gell-Mann Symmetry, Foek T. Hioe
Physics Faculty/Staff Publications
Propagation of optical pulses through atomic media consisting of atoms with N transition levels and possessing the so-called Gell-Mann symmetry is studied. An analytic solution of the appropriate Maxwell-Bloch equations having the form of simultaneous different wavelength optical solutions is presented. The special case of N = 3 was known previously.
An Improved Correction Algorithm For Number Density Measurements Made With The Forward-Scattering Spectrometer Probe, James A. Lock, Edward A. Hovenac
An Improved Correction Algorithm For Number Density Measurements Made With The Forward-Scattering Spectrometer Probe, James A. Lock, Edward A. Hovenac
Physics Faculty Publications
A correction factor to the number density measured by the Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) which compensates for dead time and coincidence errors was determined by calculating the probabilities of and the average number of particles in the six possible types of dead time and coincidence events. These probabilities and averages were calculated by means of a probabilistic model based on Poisson statistics. A Monte Carlo computer simulation of the FSSP operation was also carried out and the number density correction factor was compared with the Monte Carlo data. For an actual number density of 2000/cm3, it was …
A Correction Algorithm For Particle-Size Distribution Measurements Made With The Forward-Scattering Spectrometer Probe, James A. Lock, Edward A. Hovenac
A Correction Algorithm For Particle-Size Distribution Measurements Made With The Forward-Scattering Spectrometer Probe, James A. Lock, Edward A. Hovenac
Physics Faculty Publications
Multiparticle coincidence events in the scattering volume of the forward-scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP) cause the instrument to bias the measurement of the particle size distribution of atmospheric aerosols toward large diameters. We employ a probabilistic model based on Poisson statistics to determine the average diameter and rms width of the actual size distribution as functions of the average diameter and rms width of the measured distribution. We compare our predictions to a Monte Carlo simulation of the FSSP operation

Fundamental Magnetic Studies Of Iron-Rare-Earth-Metalloid Alloys Grant Numbers: De-Fgo2-86er45262, David J. Sellmyer
David Sellmyer Publications
This research is focused on the synthesis of new iron-rare-earth magnetic phases which may have significant technological properties. An important aim is to investigate new methods for producing these materials such as melt spinning and sputtering plus specific heat treatments. Studies are made of the relationship between microstructure and properties such as coercivity, spontaneous magnetization, and anisotropy (magnitude and direction) in bulk and thin film samples. Our goal is to understand these relatively complex materials on the basis of fundamental electronic structure, theory is of itinerant magnetism and localized 4f electronic states, and the microstructural effects which control the extrinsic …
Transitions And Modulated Phases In Chiral Tilted Smectic Liquid Crystals, George A. Hinshaw Jr., Rolfe G. Petschek
Transitions And Modulated Phases In Chiral Tilted Smectic Liquid Crystals, George A. Hinshaw Jr., Rolfe G. Petschek
Faculty Scholarship
Modulated phases that occur in tilted chiral smectic liquid crystals are discussed within mean-field theory in thin films and in bulk. A chiral term in the free energy containing three order parameters and one gradient can make the free energy of certain defects negative or the bend elastic constant negative. Assuming various possible behaviors for these defect energies we find either a striped state with parallel defect walls or a lattice of hexagonal unit cells containing disclinations bounded by intersecting defect walls in films. Rather different transitions to the striped phase occur when this elastic constant is either positive or …
Detector Response To Swift Heavy Ions, Robert Katz
Detector Response To Swift Heavy Ions, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
Track theory is a description of the structure of particle tracks which characterizes the response of many different sorts of "detectors" to energetic heavy ions. It is a parametric rather than a mechanistic description. The medium is a black box containing targets whose response to gamma rays is described by the cumulative Poisson distribution. The response to swift heavy ions is intimately related to the response to gamma rays through the radial distribution of dose about the ion’s path.
Analytically Reduced Form For The Class Of Integrals Containing Multicenter Products Of 1s Hydrogenic Orbitals, Coulomb Or Yukawa Potentials, And Plane Waves, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The class of integrals containing the product of N 1s hydrogenic orbitals and M Coulomb or Yukawa potentials with m plane waves is investigated analytically. The results obtained by Straton (1989) are extended and generalized. It is shown that the dimensionality of the entire class can be reduced from 3m to M+N-1.

All Physics Faculty Publications
Elastic neutron diffraction has been used to study the structure and layering of nitrogen films adsorbed on the (002) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate. The neutron-diffraction pattern of the fully compressed monolayer at a coverage Θ=1.67 layers and a temperature ≲11 K which we reported earlier has been reanalyzed (unity coverage corresponds to a complete layer having the commensurate √3 × √3 structure). We now find it to be consistent with a four-sublattice pinwheel structure as well as the two-sublattice herringbone structure which we found previously. Below 11 K, we infer crystallization of the bilayer at Θ between 2.6 …

Ferroelectricity In Perovskitelike Nacaf3 Predicted Ab Initio, P. J. Edwardson, L. L. Boyer, R. L. Newman, D. H. Fox, John R. Hardy, J. W. Flocken, R. A. Guenther, Wai-Ning Mei
John R. Hardy Papers
The ability of zero-stress simulations, using Gordon-Kim pair potentials, to describe the structures and transformations of known fluoride-based perovskites is demonstrated for the case of KCaF3. When K+ is replaced by Na+ a new ferroelectric crystal isomorphous with LiNbO3 is predicted. The equivalent relationships of the ferroelectric lithium niobate structure with the perovskite and antiperovskite structures are examined. A polarization of 21 jµC/cm2 at room temperature and a transition temperature of 550 K are predicted for NaCaF3. Surface effects are examined in simulations of a 1080-ion cluster.
The Influence Of Crystallographic Order Upon The Electronic Structure Of Thin Mercury Overlayers, Peter A. Dowben, M. Onellion, Shikha Varma, Y.J. Kime, J.L. Erskine
The Influence Of Crystallographic Order Upon The Electronic Structure Of Thin Mercury Overlayers, Peter A. Dowben, M. Onellion, Shikha Varma, Y.J. Kime, J.L. Erskine
Peter Dowben Publications
Thin ( 1-7 monolayer) well-ordered, disordered, and liquid Hg overlayers on Ag(100) have been investigated with angle resolved photoemission and low-energy electron diffraction. The well-ordered overlayers exhibit new electronic states as a result of the strained, cubic, overlayer crystallographic structure. The new electronic states depend upon the long-range crystallographic order of the overlayer, not simply the local crystallographic symmetry. The photoemission cross section and branching ratio of the 5d mercury states depends on the overlayer long-range crystallographic order and cannot be explained by photoelectron diffraction.
Fourier Transform Of The Multicenter Product Of 1s Hydrogenic Orbitals And Coulomb Or Yukawa Potentials And The Analytically Reduced Form For Subsequent Integrals That Include Plane Waves, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Fourier transform of the multicenter product of N 1s hydrogenic orbitals and M Coulomb or Yukawa potentials is given as an (M+N-1)-dimensional Feynman integral with external momenta and shifted coordinates. This is accomplished through the introduction of an integral transformation, in addition to the standard Feynman transformation for the denominators of the momentum representation of the terms in the product, which moves the resulting denominator into an exponential. This allows the angular dependence of the denominator to be combined with the angular dependence in the plane waves.
An Alternative Approach To The Teaching Of Rotational Dynamics, James A. Lock
An Alternative Approach To The Teaching Of Rotational Dynamics, James A. Lock
Physics Faculty Publications
An alternative approach to the stability of torque-free rotations and to top nutation that emphasizes conservation laws and physical reasoning is examined. It is felt that such an approach, which is largely free of sophisticated mathematics, would be useful in teaching these topics in rotational motion at the introductory physics level.
Decay Of Molecules At Corrugated Thin Metal Films, P.T. Leung, Young Sik Kim, Thomas F. George
Decay Of Molecules At Corrugated Thin Metal Films, P.T. Leung, Young Sik Kim, Thomas F. George
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The problem of the decay rate for molecules at corrugated thin metal films is considered theoretically via a classical phenomenological approach by generalization of a previous theory for a single rough surface. In particular, numerical results are worked out in detail for grating films with various possible arrangements of the two grating surfaces, and for both cases with a supported and a free-standing film. Effects due to cross coupling into the long- and short-range surface plasmons are observed, and correlations to recent experiments performed by Gruhlke, Holland, and Hall are made. It is suggested that fluorescence experiments with pulsed-laser excitations …

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O superconducting thin films with zero-resistance temperatures up to 115 K have been prepared using a Tl2O3 vapor process on Ba-Ca-Cu-O precursor thin films. The Ba-Ca-Cu-O thin films were made by laser deposition on Y-stabilized ZrO2 substrates. This technique minimizes problems caused by the toxicity of Tl2 O3, and its subsequent decomposition to the volatile and toxic Tl2 O upon heating. Therefore, it may have practical application in the fabrication of high Tc Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O superconducting thin-film devices.
Long-Range Hopping In Substitutionally Disordered Solids, Paul Ernest Parris
Long-Range Hopping In Substitutionally Disordered Solids, Paul Ernest Parris
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
A theoretical approach for studying charge-carrier and energy diffusion due to long-range hopping in substitutionally disordered solids is presented. Unlike some earlier theories, which invoke a pair approximation to treat back-transfer processes, the current theory makes use of the exact solution to an appropriate single-defect problemone in which long-range jumps into, out of, and between both the defect site and all other active sites in the lattice are explicitly included. From this exact solution a new long-range effective-medium theory is constructed to describe the configurationally averaged transport properties of the disordered system.
