Relaxation Time Of The Order Parameter In A High-Temperature Superconductor, G.L. Eesley, J. Heremans, M.S. Meyer, G.L. Doll, Sy_Hwang Liou
Relaxation Time Of The Order Parameter In A High-Temperature Superconductor, G.L. Eesley, J. Heremans, M.S. Meyer, G.L. Doll, Sy_Hwang Liou
Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
We present femtosecond time-resolved measurements on the high-Tc superconductor Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10. At temperatures below Tc, we observe a relaxation process which is distinct from the equilibration of hot carriers in the normal state. Our results demonstrate an increasing relaxation rate as the superconducting gap opens. This is consistent with the behavior of conventional metallic superconductors.

Chromium dioxide is deposited as a ferromagnetic layer onto selected portions of a substrate or over the entire substrate. Chromium hexacarbonyl vapor is introduced into a vacuum deposition chamber at e.g. 10 milliTorr and oxygen is introduced at e.g. 15 to 100 milliTorr. A UV laser beam is focused onto the substrate to form the CrO2 layer photolytically. The CrO2 layer can also be deposited by RF plasma deposition. This technique can also be employed for depositing MoC2, WC2, Mo2φ3, MoO2 or WO2. Magnetic recording or memory devices are …
The Relationship Of The Virtual Orbitals Of Self-Consistent-Field Theory To Temporary Negative Ions In Electron Scattering From Molecules, Donghai Chen, Gordon A. Gallup
The Relationship Of The Virtual Orbitals Of Self-Consistent-Field Theory To Temporary Negative Ions In Electron Scattering From Molecules, Donghai Chen, Gordon A. Gallup
Gordon Gallup Publications
The theory given here shows how certain of the virtual orbitals of self-consistent field (SCF) theory provide a natural ingredient for constructing basis functions to study the shape resonances associated with temporary molecular ions. We give specific calculations of resonant behavior in H2, N2, ethylene, cyclopropene, and cyclobutene. In addition, we show how the theory can rationalize the relationship between Koopmans' theorem values of the energy of a resonance and the experimental values.

A Report On Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs In Nebraska-- Their Biology, Behavior, Ecology, Management, And Responses To A Visual Barrier Fence, Nancy S. Foster
A Report On Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs In Nebraska-- Their Biology, Behavior, Ecology, Management, And Responses To A Visual Barrier Fence, Nancy S. Foster
School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
I examined the effects of a visual barrier fence, which had a see-through visibility of 600/0, on the foraging, vigilance, and aggressive behaviors of adult female black-tailed prairie dogs from June through August 1990 in central Nebraska. I also examined changes in their home ranges and use of an area in response to this fence. Prairie dogs prefer an open view of their surroundings. Therefore, I expected animals near a visual barrier to spend more time in vigilance and aggression, and less time foraging. Adult female prairie dogs exposed to the visual barrier devoted more time to foraging and less …

David Sellmyer Publications
Systematic studies of rare-earth–transition-metal amorphous compositionally modulated films (CMF) permit the development of a detailed model for understanding the magnetization and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and their distributions along the film normal. It is shown that the single-ion anisotropy of rare-earth ions with orbital angular momentum is the major contributor to the perpendicular anisotropy for this class of CMF. The calculated results agree well with the experimental data for Dy/Co and Tb/Fe CMF when the individual layer thicknesses are small enough (<10 Å); these films have structures which can be characterized as compositionally modulated amorphous alloys.

Magnetism Of Rare-Earth–Transition-Metal Nanoscale Multilayers. I. Experiments On Dy/Co, Dy/Fe, And Tb/Fe, Z.S. Shan, David J. Sellmyer
David Sellmyer Publications
Experimental investigations of magnetic and structural properties for rare-earth–transition-metal (RE-TM) compositionally modulated films (CMF) are presented in this paper. In particular, ARE/BTM including ARE=Dy and Tb and BTM=Fe, Co, and Ni, are studied. The layer thickness and temperature dependence of magnetic properties, which can be interpreted in terms of the antiferromagnetic coupling of RE and TM moments and their atomic distributions, are reported. These ARE/BTM CMF with nanoscale layer thicknesses exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and the range of the layer thickness required for PMA is determined. The …

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications
The behavior of the critical current density of Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O superconducting thin films in a cycling magnetic field was investigated. The hysteresis of the transport Jc manifested similar features to those found in polycrystalline Y-Ba-Cu-O and granular Nb, Al thin films in zero-field cooling. However, a novel result of the transport Jc in field-cooled samples has been observed. The results were attributed to the presence of a saturated trapped magnetic flux in the weaklink network. The effects of temperature on both the trapped flux and the transport Jc suggest the existence of various states of the trapped flux …

Kinetic-Energy Density Functional For A Special Shape-Invariant Potential Of A One-Dimensional Two-Level System , Jiushu Shao, John J. Stezowski
John J. Stezowski Publications
By introducing the concept of supersymmetry to quantum mechanics, several authors have shown that exactly soluble potentials, including all those well known, are easily constructed. Is the kinetic-energy density functional corresponding to these potentials a simple form? We show that the answer is no, even to the simplest one, the harmonic potential, if one builds the kinetic-energy density functional from the reduced density matrix.

The Pacific/ North American Teleconnection Pattern And United States Climate. Part I: Regional Temperature And Precipitation Associations, Daniel J. Leathers, Brent Yarnal, Michael A. Palecki
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
The Pacific/ North American (PNA) teleconnection index, a measure of the strength and phase of the PNA teleconnection pattern, is related to the variations of the surface climate of the United States from 1947 through 1982 for the autumn, winter, and spring months when the PNA is a main mode of Northern Hemisphere mid-tropospheric variability. The results demonstrate that the PNA index is highly correlated with both regional temperature and precipitation. The strongest, most extensive correlations between the index and temperature are observed in winter, but large areas of the country show important associations during the spring and autumn as …

Radiological experiments with cell cultures are expected to be performed on Lifesat to study possible gravitational dependence on cellular response. Predictions of cell damage rates for well-studied systems are expected to help guide in the selection of orbits and the design of experiments. In this report we estimate the fractions of cell death and neoplastic transformation of C3H10T1/2 cells (cultured mouse cells) for the proposed Lifesat orbits. The parametric cellular track model of Katz et al. (refs. 1 and 2) is employed using cellular response parameters derived from the experiments of Yang et al. (refs. 3 and 4). The contributions …

As science researchers and professors, we have had a fairly broad collection of experiences in using computers, from batch-processing and number crunching in large computer systems using FORTRAN and symbolic languages to teaching problem-solving courses for nonscience students using personal computers. While we claim no special computer expertise, we both own computers and are frequently called upon to offer advice to our colleagues who are greater novices than we are. Hence, on the basis of reflections on our experiences and observations of what we have seen other people and institutions do, we have compiled a list of “Do’s” and “Don’ts” …
Ab Initio Studies Of The Phase Transitions In K2Seo4, H. M. Lu, John R. Hardy
Ab Initio Studies Of The Phase Transitions In K2Seo4, H. M. Lu, John R. Hardy
John R. Hardy Papers
An ab initio model is developed for the potentials in ionic molecular solids in which the electron covalency within the molecular ions substantially affects the interionic interactions. By treating the intermolecular and intramolecular interactions on the basis of the true electron charge densities of the molecular ions, this new model leads to an accurate parameter-free description of the potentialenergy surfaces for such crystals. We performed first-principles static structural relaxation, supercell molecular-dynamics simulation, and lattice-dynamics studies for the room-temperature paraelectric phase and the lower-temperature ferroelectric superstructure of K2SeO4 and predicted with good accuracy the transition from the former …

Synchrotron Radiation Induced Chemical Vapor Deposition Of Thin Films From Metal Hexacarbonyls*, Derrick C. Mancini, Shikha Varma, John K. Simons, Richard A. Rosenberg, Peter A. Dowben
Peter Dowben Publications
We have studied the initial stages of synchrotron radiation [SR] induced chemical vapor deposition [CVD] of metal-containing thin films from metal hexacarbonyl gases. We have measured the dependence of the initial deposition rate upon gas pressure at room temperature. Substrates were exposed to SR for single fills of the electron storage ring at constant pressure of Mo(CO)6, Cr(CO)6, or W(CO) 6 gas. Deposition was monitored in situ by Auger electron spectroscopy using the SW as the excitation source. The presence of metal, carbon, and oxygen in the deposited films was observed, and the results are consistent …

Laser-Induced Detachment Processes In An Electric Field, Bo Gao, Anthony F. Starace
Anthony F. Starace Publications
An analytic momentum-space wave function for an electron in both laser and static uniform electric fields is presented. It is used to obtain analytic multiphoton detachment cross sections in a static, uniform electric field which include effects of static-field-induced electron-photon interactions. These general results are not restricted to weak laser intensities or to weak static-field strengths and depend only on (a) the electric dipole approximation and (b) the approximation that final-state electron-atom interactions are ignored. Four specific predictions of our general formulas for the most interesting case of linearly polarized light polarized along the static-field direction are presented for weakly …

Deposition Of Boron-Containing Films From Decaborane, James T. Spencer, Peter A. Dowben, Yoon G. Kim
Deposition Of Boron-Containing Films From Decaborane, James T. Spencer, Peter A. Dowben, Yoon G. Kim
Peter Dowben Publications
Depopsition of a boron nitride film is carried out by introducing decaborane and dry nitrogen or ammonia into a plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition chamber. The nitrogen or ammonia partial pressure should provide an excess over the decarborane pressures for example 200 milliTorr of N2 or NH3 and 50 MilliTorr of B10H14. Other film layers can also be produced starting from decaborane.

VR light curve3 have been obtained for 16 faint variable stars with periods shorter than 1 day. Although, as expected, most of the light curves are typical of Bailey-type ab RR Lyrae stars, some have slower rises to maximum and flatter tops. Fourier decomposition was performed to further explore these trends. Combining these data with previously published Fourier decompositions of RR Lyrae light curves, we find that the Fourier coefficients are essentially constant for periods shorter than three-quarters of a day for Bailey-type ab RR Lyrae stars but that the amplitude ratios, R (12), R (13), and R (14), decrease …
Recent Secular Variations In The Extent Of Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover, David A. Robinson, Kenneth F. Dewey
Recent Secular Variations In The Extent Of Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover, David A. Robinson, Kenneth F. Dewey
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
Northern hemisphere snow cover during 1988 and 1989 was at its lowest extent since the advent of reliable satellite snow-cover monitoring 1972; running some 8-10% below the eighteen-year annual mean of 25.7 million km2 . Monthly minima for the period of record occurred six times during these two years. In general, the last nine years of the satellite record had less extensive cover than the 1972-80 interval. Negative anomalies during the 1980s were largest over Eurasia in all seasons, and in the Spring over North America. Hemispheric seasonal means for the most recent nine years were 3.7% to 8.4% …

Radiosensitivity Parameters For Cell Survival In Tradescantia And For Chromosome Aberrations In Chinese Hamster Cells, Robert Katz, G. Huang
Robert Katz Publications
Data for the loss of reproductive integrity of Tradescantia stamen hairs irradiated with 250 keV X rays and 0.43 and 5.6 MeV neutrons are fitted with radiosensitivity parameters from track theory, with E0 and m from X-ray data while σ0 and κ are then found from neutron irradiations. The X-ray data display a clear shoulder with 100% survival below 0.18 Gy and a “linear tail.” Data for abnormal metaphases and chromatid exchanges in Chinese Hamster cells have also been fitted with parameters. Parameters for abnormal metaphases are nearly identical with those obtained years ago for cell killing from …

Alternative Usages Of Wetlands Other Than Conventional Farming In Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, And Nebraska, Ellen Leventhal, Hubert H. Humphrey
United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications
Conversion of wetlands in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska into agricultural dry lands in the past several decades has occurred as a means to obtain profit from what landowners would otherwise consider unprofitable land. This activity has resulted in substantial losses of wetlands valued for their unique ability to mitigate flood and storm damage, control erosion, discharge and recharge groundwater, improve water quality, and support a wide diversity of fish, wildlife, and vegetation.
Utilizing fish, wildlife, and vegetation from wetlands for profit is a way for wetland owners to recognize the value their wetlands add to their property. Landowners then …

Two New Short-Period Cepheids, Edward G. Schmidt, Bradley A. Gross
Two New Short-Period Cepheids, Edward G. Schmidt, Bradley A. Gross
Edward Schmidt Publications
The General Catalogue of Variable Stars gives periods of slightly less than three-quarters of a day for the stars NO Cas and CN Tau. However, new photometry demonstrates that their periods are actually 2.6 and 1.8 days, respectively, and they are thus classical Cepheids. Fourier decompositions of their light curves are performed, and they are found to be members of a class of Cepheids with periods less than three days which may be related to the s-Cepheids. These two stars represent the shortest and longest known members of this class and thus are very useful in defining its properties in …
