Conductive Sphere On A Charged Conductive Plane, Birney Robert Fish Aug 1967

Conductive Sphere On A Charged Conductive Plane, Birney Robert Fish

Masters Theses

Statement of the Problem: If a conductive sphere is placed in contact with a semi-infinite, conductive plane, the configuration constitutes a three-dimensional equipotential surface. Assuming an isolated plane to be electrically charged to a known surface charge density (σ°) originally, it is desired to determine the effect produced by placing a sphere on the plane. Specifically, the purpose of this investigation is to determine the force exerted on the sphere normal to the plane, the total charge acquired by the sphere and the perturbation in the electrical field due to its presence on the plane.

A Study Of The Afterglow Of An R-F Excited Mercury Discharge, James A. Aubrecht Jan 1967

A Study Of The Afterglow Of An R-F Excited Mercury Discharge, James A. Aubrecht

Masters Theses

"The short duration afterglow of an r-f discharge in mercury has been examined versus ground state mercury atom density and r-f power. The intensity of the 5771, 5462, 4360, 4079, 4047, 3907, 3651/56, 3342, and 3127/32Å atomic mercury lines were observed to decay as a function of time after the shut off of the active discharge. At temperatures below 333⁰K, all atomic lines decayed exponentially, and no molecular emission was observed. From 333⁰K to 423⁰K, the atomic lines were observed to decay rapidly initially, then exhibit an enhancement effect in intensity which was produced by metastable atom collisions, and finally, …


A Study Of The Molecular Emission And Of The Life Times Of The Metastable States In The Afterglow Spectrum Of A Mercury Discharge, Bruce M. Whitcomb Jan 1967

A Study Of The Molecular Emission And Of The Life Times Of The Metastable States In The Afterglow Spectrum Of A Mercury Discharge, Bruce M. Whitcomb

Masters Theses

"Two methods of studying the spectrum in the early afterglow of a pure mercury sample are discussed. Using a time-sampling technique, information about the intensity of the spectrum as a function of time in the afterglow can be obtained. The intensities of two molecular bands, centered at 3350A and 4850A, are studied. The method of formation of the diatomic mercury molecule and the emission of radiation in the two bands are shown to be density dependent. Mechanisms are presented which explain both the molecular formation and the radiation in the two bands. In an absorption study, the half-lives of the …


A Study Of An Electric Method To Excite And Detect Acoustic Waves In Solids, John H. Stevens Jan 1967

A Study Of An Electric Method To Excite And Detect Acoustic Waves In Solids, John H. Stevens

Masters Theses

"This experiment has demonstrated that it is possible to generate pulses of acoustic waves in an aluminum single crystal by the direct use of the tensile stress associated with an electric field at the surface of a conductor, and it is possible to detect these waves with a biased, capacitive pickup transducer"--Abstract, page ii.
