Calculation Of The Electron Self-Energy For Low Nuclear Charge, Ulrich D. Jentschura, Peter J. Mohr, Gerhard Soff Jan 1999

Calculation Of The Electron Self-Energy For Low Nuclear Charge, Ulrich D. Jentschura, Peter J. Mohr, Gerhard Soff

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We present a nonperturbative numerical evaluation of the one-photon electron self-energy for hydrogenlike ions with low nuclear charge numbers Z = 1 to 5. Our calculation for the 1S state has a numerical uncertainty of 0.8 Hz for hydrogen and 13 Hz for singly ionized helium. Resummation and convergence acceleration techniques that reduce the computer time by about 3 orders of magnitude were employed in the calculation. The numerical results are compared to results based on known terms in the expansion of the self-energy in powers of Zα.

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Advanced ceramics are being developed for use in large area, high voltage devices in order to achieve high specific energy densities (greater than 10^6/ J/m^3/) and physical size reduction. Initial materials based on slip cast TiO2 exhibited a high bulk breakdown strength (BDS greater than 300 kV/cm) and high permittivity with low dispersion (epsilon approximately equal to 100). However, strong area and thickness dependencies were noted. To increase the BDS, multilayer dielectric compositions are being developed based on glass/TiO2 composites. The addition of glass increases the density (approximately equal to 99.8% theoretical), forms a continuous grain boundary phase, and also …

Structural Disorder And The Origin Of High-Tc Suppression In La₁.₈₇₅Ba₀.₁₂₅ Cuo4−Δ, Daniel Haskel, Edward A. Stern, Fatih Dogan, Arnie R. Moodenbaugh Jan 1999

Structural Disorder And The Origin Of High-Tc Suppression In La₁.₈₇₅Ba₀.₁₂₅ Cuo4−Δ, Daniel Haskel, Edward A. Stern, Fatih Dogan, Arnie R. Moodenbaugh

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Polarized x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements at all La, Ba and Cu sites were used to study local structural features that accompany the strong Tc suppression at: r,,, 1/8 in La2BaCuO4. Two critical parameters regulating the strength of hole-lattice coupling in this material were determined, ie, the direction and magnitude of CuO6 octahedra local tilts. Our findings include the existence of large disorder in the magnitude of the tilt angle about its average value (0), with an rms~~ 2 (0). We suggest that this large disorder strongly scatters a large fraction of states at …

X-Ray Absorption, Neutron Diffraction, And Mössbauer Effect Studies Of Mnzn-Ferrite Processed Through High-Energy Ball Milling, D. J. Fatemi, V. G. Harris, Mingxing Chen, Satish K. Malik, William B. Yelon, Gary J. Long, Amitabh Mohan

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

MnZn-ferrite has been prepared via high-energy ball milling of elemental oxides MnO, ZnO, and α-Fe2O3. Neutron diffraction measurements suggest a high density of vacancies in a spinel structure. The spinel phase appears to comprise 99.8 wt % of the material in the sample milled for 40 h, with the remainder attributable to unreacted α-Fe2O3. The x-ray absorption near-edge structure was analyzed to provide an understanding of the charge state of the constituent Fe ions. This analysis reveals about 2/3 of Fe cations to be trivalent, increasing to about 3/4 after a 5 …

Copper Nucleation On Titanium For Thin Film Applications, A. J.B. Dutra, Thomas J. O'Keefe Jan 1999

Copper Nucleation On Titanium For Thin Film Applications, A. J.B. Dutra, Thomas J. O'Keefe

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Copper nucleation and growth on titanium substrates from concentrated acidic copper sulfate solutions was studied at 45 and 65 °C and high cathodic potentials. Electrochemical experiments allied to SEM examination were performed to characterize the mechanism of nucleation and its evolution with time. Particular emphasis was given to the influence of potential and agitation on the initial stages of nucleation and growth. Results indicated that most of copper nucleation on titanium from a 83 g dm-3 Cu2+ solution, at 65 °C, is achieved in a matter of milliseconds. As expected, the initial stages of the copper nucleation and growth is …

Double Electron Removal And Fragmentation Model Of The [Formula Presented] Molecule By Highly Charged Ions, C. J. Wood, Ronald E. Olson Jan 1999

Double Electron Removal And Fragmentation Model Of The [Formula Presented] Molecule By Highly Charged Ions, C. J. Wood, Ronald E. Olson

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A five-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo model has been developed to study double electron removal from H2 by collisions with highly charged ions at impact energies ranging from 1 eV/u to 1 GeV/u. The longitudinal and transverse final-state correlation between ejected electrons is calculated for double ionization of H2 by impact of Se28+ at 3.6 MeV/u and U92+ at 1 GeV/u; the electron-electron interaction is dynamically included during the collision when one of the electron’s total energy becomes positive. Relativistic corrections are incorporated to reflect the Lorentz contraction of the projectile’s electric field. The cross-section dependence …

Five-Body Calculations Of [Formula Presented] Fragmentation By [Formula Presented] Impact, C. R. Feeler, Ronald E. Olson, Robert D. Dubois, T. Schlathölter, O. Hadjar, R. Hoekstra, R. Morgenstern

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A five-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo model has been developed to study fragmentation of diatomic molecules after double electron removal by highly charged ion impact. A systematic study of the final-state deuteron energy and momentum spectra has been conducted for Xe19+ + D2 collisions at impact energies ranging from 1 eV/u to 100 keV/u. At the highest projectile energies, the fragment energies and momenta are determined by the Coulomb explosion of the doubly ionized molecule via the known Franck-Condon transition for the isolated molecule. The deuterons are emitted back-to-back with nearly equal energies. At the lowest projectile energies, …

Electronic Eavesdropping: A Professional Mailing List As A Setting For Ethnographic Research, Katherine M. Clegg Jan 1999

Electronic Eavesdropping: A Professional Mailing List As A Setting For Ethnographic Research, Katherine M. Clegg

Iowa Journal of Communication

This paper outlines the issues faced when integrating "virtual participant observation" on an occupational mailing list, into an ethnographic study of changes to British family practice. Online interaction is becoming increasingly important to our daily lives, yet social research has tended to focus on "creative" or "imaginative" interaction on the Internet, in neglect of what could be seen as "the mundane." Incorporating the new social setting of an occupational mailing list into the ethnographic study (and the novel data emerging from it into the analysis) has presented several challenges. Ethical issues such as whether the Internet is a private or …

The Virtual Pet Ate My Homework, Mark D. Jones Jan 1999

The Virtual Pet Ate My Homework, Mark D. Jones

Iowa Journal of Communication

The Virtual Pet Are My Homework contains an examination of the social and psychological relationships developed by early-adolescent and pre-adolescent children around the miniature electronic devices known as tomagotchis, or virtual pets. Two sets of children, one older and one younger, were interviewed in focus group settings. The interview protocol made use of prior research on social-psychological relationships with television and computers, and employed the results of these studies as sensitizing concepts. Though the number of subjects interviewed was small, it was observed that the children cognitively differentiated between the devices and the pets represented on the device screen. …

Enhancement Of Speech Evaluation Through Digitization, John V. Modaff, Daniel P. Modaff, Lawrence M. Modaff Jan 1999

Enhancement Of Speech Evaluation Through Digitization, John V. Modaff, Daniel P. Modaff, Lawrence M. Modaff

Iowa Journal of Communication

For a communication instructor, evaluating speech performance can be a difficult exercise given the temporal nature of the performance. With the advent of available and cost efficient video recording technology, though, instructors have been able to replay the performance to increase the number of performance cues to which they can attend and hence the validity of the evaluation. Some evaluators choose not to employ this technology, due to the cumbersome nature of the record/search/play processes and the ensuing problem of coordinating the tape with the written evaluation. In this paper, we offer a solution to these problems using multimedia computer …
