All Physics Faculty Publications
The theory of diffusion-controlled correlated reaction kinetics is developed for the radiation boundary condition (RBC) at the reaction surface. Limited only by the assumptions of purely radial spatial dependence, of a spherical reaction surface, and of continuum diffusion, these results comprise a complete solution for these kinetics. The limiting solutions are obtained for the case of the Smoluchowski boundary condition (SBC) at the reaction surface; numerical solutions are presented, as are the analytic forms of certain limiting cases. The initial recovery for the RBC is linear in time, whereas for the SBC it is well known to be proportional to …

The 6300Å Predawn Enhancement: Excitation By Protoelectrons From The Magnetic Conjugate Point, Vincent B. Wickwar
All Physics Faculty Publications
Incoherent scatter and tilting filter photometer data from Arecibo Observatory were combined to search for a contribution to the 6300 Å predawn enhancement due to impact excitation by photoelectrons from the magnetic conjugate point. Prior to about 105° conjugate solar zenith angle, calculations of the 6300 Å intensities due to dissociative recombination gave good agreement with the observed intensities. Then, with the arrival of conjugate photoelectrons (confirmed by plasma line enhancements), the observed intensities rose above the calculated, the difference increasing until a plateau was achieved at a conjugate solar zenith angle of about 95°. The difference or residual intensity …
