Shubnikov-De Haas Effect And Magnetic Breakdown In Be , David J. Sellmyer, I.S. Goldstein, B.L. Averbach
Shubnikov-De Haas Effect And Magnetic Breakdown In Be , David J. Sellmyer, I.S. Goldstein, B.L. Averbach
David Sellmyer Publications
Magnetic breakdown in the basal plane of Be was investigated in fields up to 150 kG. Geometrical aspects of the open orbits caused by breakdown are discussed. An estimate of 30 kG for the characteristic breakdown field is obtained by applying the theory of Falicov et al. Shubnikov-de Haas frequency measurements are reported for the central-cigar cross section. These measurements are relevant to a recent conjecture that the Onsager-Lifshitz quantization scheme may be violated in the presence of magnetic breakdown.

Even-Parity Lattice Resonances And Anharmonicity In Ki: Ag+, Roger D. Kirby
Even-Parity Lattice Resonances And Anharmonicity In Ki: Ag+, Roger D. Kirby
Roger Kirby Publications
We report here the observation of four impurity-induced lattice resonances in KI:Ag+. In addition to the well-known T1u symmetry resonant mode at 17.3 cm-1, we have observed two even-parity resonant modes of A1g and Eg symmetries at 25 and 16.35 cm-1, respectively, and a T1u symmetry gap mode at 86.2 cm-1. The two even-parity modes were detected using far-infrared spectroscopic techniques with the sample in an external electric field. The field induces a strong mixing of the modes of opposite parity and results in large field-induced shifts. The Eg symmetry resonance has also been seen in the Raman spectrum of …
Thermionic Space Charge Oscillations, William Carl
Thermionic Space Charge Oscillations, William Carl
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Thermionic electrons emitted into a potential well will produce radiation, the frequency of which is determined by the transit time of the electrons. This paper investigates the case where radiation is produced by a vacuum tube in which two Pierce guns face each other, one acting as the emitter, the other acting as a reflector. Symmetry and the focusing of the electron beam by the Pierce guns make it possible to make an accurate determination of the electron transit time. Measurements showed that the period of the oscillation was 1.5 times the period required for an electron to traverse the …

Mössbauer-Effect Studies Of The Phase Transitions In Antiferroelectric Pbzro₃ And Ferroelectric Pbti₀.₀₂Zr₀.₈O₃, James P. Canner, C. M. Yagnik, Robert Gerson, William Joseph James
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The Mössbauer spectra were studied for the antiferroelectric compound PbZrO3 and for the closely related ferroelectric PbTi0.2Zr0.8O3. In both cases, a substitution of 5-mol% BiFeO3 was made to permit the Mössbauer measurements. Little difference was found in the isomer shift in these compounds, whether they were in the ferroelectric, antiferroelectric, or cubic state, indicating that the bonding character is not affected by the transitions among the states. There was a pronounced and approximately equivalent dip in the recoil-free fraction at the Curie points of both the antiferroelectric and ferroelectric materials, associated with …

Cellular Inactivation By Heavy Ions, Neutrons, And Pions, Robert Katz, S. C. Sharma, M. Hamayoonfar
Robert Katz Publications
The delta-ray theory of the inactivation of cells by energetic heavy ions describes cellular survival after heavy ion bombardment through a two-component survival model, in which 4 operational parameters (E0,m0, σ0, and κ) describe the response of a particular cellular variety in a particular ambient condition, for an arbitrary radiation environment. The quantities m and E0 are the extrapolation number and extrapolated D-37 dose of the survival curve after gamma-ray irradiation. The quantities σ0 and κ are found from the initial slope of survival curves after irradiation with ions of different LET, …

Measurement Of Currents In Lake Mead With The Deep Water Isotopic Current Analyzer (Dwica), J. J. Sartoris, D. A. Hoffman, Bureau Of Reclamation
Publications (WR)
In Nov 1967, a Deep Water Isotopic Current Analyzer (DWICA) was used to study current patterns in the Boulder Basin of Lake Mead to determine if low-quality water from Las Vegas Bay might enter the Southern Nevada Water Project intake on Saddle Island. Secondary objectives were to study the general current patterns in Boulder Basin and the effect of power discharges at Hoover Dam on these currents. Results of current measurements at 3 stations in Boulder Basin are given. Observations indicate a definite possibility that low-quality water from Las Vegas Bay might enter the water intake on Saddle Island. Current …

Spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) and Knight shifts were measured for Cd113 nuclei in 12 CdS crystals doped with various amounts of chlorine. Hall coefficients were measured in order to estimate conduction-electron concentrations. Data were obtained for all samples at 300 °K and for some highly doped samples at 77, 4.2, and 2.13 °K. Metallic properties were observed in all samples having electron concentrations n>2×1018 cm-3. At 300 °K, we find 1/T1∝n for nonmetallic samples and 1/T1∝n2/3 when samples are metallic. The latter proportionality continues to hold at lower …
Comment On Electron Scattering In The Image Potential Well, Pavel Smejtek, M. Silver
Comment On Electron Scattering In The Image Potential Well, Pavel Smejtek, M. Silver
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Comments are made on the model of electron injection into SiO₂ proposed by Berglund and Powell. Their assumptions on electron scattering, disregarding the change of the escape cone with the distance from the emitter, lead to serious underestimation of the injected current. Two alternative models of electron injection, based solely on elastic scattering are discussed and do not predict the experimental results. We suggest that observed field dependence of the injected current into SiO₂ indicates that energy relaxation associated with the injected electrons is responsible for the voltage dependence of the current.

Studies Of The Potential Curve Crossing Problem I. Analysis Of Stueckelberg's Method, W. R. Thorson, John B. Delos, Seth A. Boorstein
Arts & Sciences Articles
A detailed critical analysis is made of Stueckelberg's treatment of inelastic transitions at a crossing of two potential curves. Using an asymptotic method analogous to the WKB approximation, Stueckelberg obtained the well-known Landau-Zener-Stueckelberg (LZS) formula for the inelastic transition probability. His method involved the determination of "connection formulas" linking amplitudes associated with his asymptotic approximants on either side of the crossing-point region. Here we show that (a) Stueckelberg's asymptotic approximants are just the WKB approximants for elastic scattering on the adiabatic (noncrossing) potential curves; (b) Stueckelberg's method for obtaining the connection formulas can be put on a rigorous footing, including …
Evidence For The Existence Of Two Stable Sites For Cobalt Impurity Atoms In Aluminum, Arun Venkatachar
Evidence For The Existence Of Two Stable Sites For Cobalt Impurity Atoms In Aluminum, Arun Venkatachar
Dissertations and Theses
Using Fe57Mössbauer spectroscopy, two alternative sites occupied by cobalt (10-4 at. % ) impurity atoms in aluminum have been isolated. The substitutional site A is the stable position after annealing the sample above 840 K, followed by a rapid quench. The impurity atoms in site A are characterized by a single line Mössbauer spectrum (indicative of a cubic environment), a room-temperature f = 0.502 (r. m. s. displ. 0.071 A) and an I. S. (reI. to Fe) = -0.421 mm/sec. For anneals below 770 K the cobalt atoms migrate to site B, which is characterized by a …
Application Of The Method Of Lattice Statics To Vacancies In Aluminum, Larry Boyer, John R. Hardy
Application Of The Method Of Lattice Statics To Vacancies In Aluminum, Larry Boyer, John R. Hardy
John R. Hardy Papers
In this paper the method of lattice statics is applied to the calculation of the atomic displacements about a vacancy in aluminum using a fifth-neighbor force-constant model for the dynamical matrix and the vacancy-host lattice interaction. The strain-field interaction energy between two vacancies is similarly calculated. The main object of this work is to demonstrate the important modifications of earlier results, obtained for a first- and second-neighbor force-constant model, when one uses the fifth-neighbor model designed to give a significantly better fit to the measured phonon dispersion curves. In particular it is demonstrated that the displacements about the vacancy continue …

On The Molecular Theory Of Dielectric Polarization In Rigid‐Dipole Fluids, John D. Ramshaw
On The Molecular Theory Of Dielectric Polarization In Rigid‐Dipole Fluids, John D. Ramshaw
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
A molecular theory is developed for the polarization P(r) produced by a weak position‐dependent external electric field E0(r) in a finite fluid system, of arbitrary shape, composed of rigid polar molecules. The theory differs from earlier work in that no assumption is made concerning the form of the electrostatic constitutive relation. [The usual assumption in this regard is that P(r) = (ε–1) E(r) / 4π, where E(r) is the total Maxwell electric field. The “dielectric constant” ε is well defined only if the relation between P(r) and E(r) …

An Application Of Spectroscopic Techniques To The Measurement Of Electron Density And Temperature In A Brush Cathode Plasma, Ramabhai M. Patel
Physics Theses & Dissertations
A brief review of the Langmuir probe, microwave and spectroscopic techniques most commonly used to make measurements .of plasma electron temperature and density is presented. Of these various methods, certain spectroscopic methods are applied to the measurements of electron density and temperature in a helium brush cathode plasma. The density measurement is based on the manner in which a series of Stark broadened spectral lines merges into an apparent continuum before the normal series limit is reached. This approach met with only limited success in that the density could be determined only by extrapolating the data obtained. Primarily because of …
Crystal Structure Determination Of Β-Lactoglobulin From Electron Micrographs, Richard Roeter
Crystal Structure Determination Of Β-Lactoglobulin From Electron Micrographs, Richard Roeter
Dissertations and Theses
Often electron micrographs exhibit a repeating structure. Sometimes this repeating structure satisfies the definition of a crystal in that it has a three dimensional repeating structure. If the unit cell structure of this repeating structure can be determined it can be used to help categorize different sections of a particular sample. In some cases, the use of optical diffraction analysis of electron micrographs with repeating structure is a method of determining the unit cell structure.
Samples of β-Lactoglobulin were prepared for viewing in the electron microscope using both the crystalline material and carbon replicas of the crystal surface. Because the …

Laser Induced Optical Modulation In Zinc Selenide, Donald Edward Everett
Laser Induced Optical Modulation In Zinc Selenide, Donald Edward Everett
Master's Theses
The experiments reported here with zinc selenide have a two-fold purpose. First, by using basically the same experimental set-up as Conway did, we are attempting to duplicate this LIMA using zinc selenide instead of cadium sulfide. Unlike his set-up, primarily one laser chopping frequency was used. Also, only one laser wavelength, 632.8 nanometers, was available, where Conway used lasers of wave lengths 647.1 nanometers and 530.8 nanometers. Another main difference is that in earlier works by Conway, laser pulse duration was of the order of 40 milliseconds, whereas the present duration is approximately 2.5 milliseconds. It was observed that the …

Increasing The Efficiency Of A Surface Ionization Mass Spectrometer, Thomas Curtis Adams
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
An Avco surface ionization mass spectrometer (model 90,000) was installed at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in February, 1968. Since that date this machine has been used as a production instrument for the isotopic analysis of uranium and plutonium samples. During 1969, it was realized that a problem inherent in the ionization mechanism of the instrument was degrading the accuracy of results, and that the number of man-hours expended in reducing data had become excessive. As soon as this situation became apparent, corrective action was initiated to reduce the effect of the ionization problem and to decrease the amount of …

High-Pressure Equation Of State For Nacl, Kcl, And Cscl, Daniel L. Decker
Faculty Publications
A calculation of the equation of state for NaCl from a Mie-Grüneisen equation was repeated using more accurate values of the zero-pressure compressibility. It was also extended to KCl and CsCl. An analysis of this approach to pressure calibration indicates that it will yield pressures with about the same accuracy as can be presently achieved by experimental measurements above 25 kbar, and thus furnishes a temporary practical pressure scale.

Anthony F. Starace Publications
Broad peaks observed in the photoabsorption spectra of rare earths ∼10-20 eV above the 4d edge are attributed to transitions 4d104fN→4d94fN+1. Exchange interaction splits the 4d94fN+1 configuration and raises some multiplets by ∼20 eV. Autoionization to 4d9-4fNεf broadens the high levels. The interpretation extends to p→d processes observed in the absorption of synchrotron light by transition elements.

Intensity Ratios For Polarized Refracted Light Near The Critical Angle., Stephanie Layne Moore
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
It was undertaken to investigate the intensity ratio of refracted light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the plane of incidence. The primary object of the experiment was to obtain this ratio for light incident at very nearly the critical angle on a water-air interface, the light having first passed through the water. A laser was used to produce the light beam and the experimental results were compared with the theory propounded by Fresnel for infinite plane waves and elsewhere asserted to hold for bound plane waves. As this theory predicted a ratio of the square of the refractive index (n) …

Calculation Of Point-Defect Energies And Displacements In Alkali Halides Using The Lattice-Statics Method, Arnold Karo, John Hardy
John R. Hardy Papers
The method of lattice statics, in the zero-order approximation, is used to evaluate the Schottky-pair formation energies and the displacement fields about positive- and negative-ion vacancies for all alkali halide crystals with rock-salt structures. The deformation-dipole model, used extensively in earlier work on the lattice dynamics of these crystals, is employed to describe the host lattice. Long-range Coulomb interactions are included explicitly, and short-range repulsive interactions are described by a simple Born-Mayer potential. Comparison is made with earlier Mott-Littleton-type calculations and very satisfactory agreement is found. Comparison with available experimental values is somewhat less satisfactory, particularly regarding the lithium salts; …
