Measurements have been made of the short-range spin correlations in USb, a metallic compound that orders antiferromagnetically. The system has no transverse fluctuations, and the longitudinal spin correlations are anisotropic, showing stronger interactions within the ferromagnetic sheets than between them. The results of this and other experiments can be understood with simple concepts involving the bonding of 5f electrons. © 1978 The American Physical Society.

The Water Monomer On The Basal Plane Of Ice Iₕ: An Effective Pair, Central Force Potential Model Of The Static Interaction, Jerry Kiefer, Barbara N. Hale
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The H2O-H2O intermolecular central force potential of Lemberg and Stillinger is used to obtain optimal binding energy surfaces, vibrational frequencies, and bonding configurations of an adsorbed water monomer on a model basal plane of ice Ih. The monomer interacts (pairwise) with 50 molecules arranged in two layers of the unrelaxed bulk ice lattice. The results of calculations for three model surface sites of differing proton arrangement indicate the existence of diffusion barriers of the order of 2.5 kcal/mole and optimal monomer bonding sites at about 9 kcal/mole with nonepitaxial characteristics. Perspective computer-drawn plots of …

Measurements were made of the small-angle x-ray scattering intensity from argon near the critical point. After the scattering curves are corrected for all known effects except those resulting from irrelevant variables, a value of the critical exponent η=0.09±0.02 is obtained, while if a correction for the estimated effect of irrelevant variables is also made, η=0.03±0.03. The scattering data for argon therefore show that if irrelevant variables can be neglected, the critical exponent η for argon is in good agreement with the value obtained by Warkulwiz, Mozer, and Green from small-angle neutron scattering data for neon. These values of η, however, …

Differential Energy-Loss Cross Sections For Ionization Of Atomic Hydrogen By 25-200-Kev Protons, John T. Park, Judith E. Aldag, Jacob M. George, Jerry Peacher, Jim H. Mcguire
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Ionization continuum cross sections, differential in energy loss, have been determined from the energy-loss spectra of 25-, 50-, 75-, 145-, and 200-keV protons scattered from atomic hydrogen. The theoretical differential cross sections in the Glauber and Born approximations that are presented show that the theory and the experimental results for 200-keV proton impact agree very well, but below 200 keV there are differences. These differences, which are more pronounced at the lower projectile energies, may be explained in terms of charge transfer to the continuum, which is not treated in our Born and Glauber calculations of direct Coulomb ionization. The …

Results Of A Remedial Laboratory Program Based On A Piaget Model For Engineering And Science Freshmen, Robert Gerson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Engineering and science freshmen who enter our institution with algebra deficiencies have a very low probability of performing satisfactorily in the required college-level calculus course. Two years ago, a remedial one-semester program was conducted for 36 freshmen who were identified by an entrance examination as being weak in algebra. The course was based on the assumption that the students were "concrete" in the Piagetian sense. The main part of the course required a general physics laboratory that provided selected experiences to bridge the concrete-formal gap. After three semesters, 31% of the participants in the course were receiving grades of C …
Interaction Of Electric And Magnetic Charges, I. Adawi
Interaction Of Electric And Magnetic Charges, I. Adawi
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
It is shown classically that in a head-on collision between an electric and a magnetic charge a repulsive polarization force of the form r-5 results (where r is the distance between the charges), if one (both) charge(s) is (are) assigned a finite spherical size. This force leads to a minimum distance of approach and prevents one particle from going through the other, and thus guards against the violation of the conservation of angular momentum. This polarization force is a manifestation of the diamagnetism (diaelectricity) of extended electric (magnetic) charges. © 1977 The American Physical Society.

Light Emission From Atom Beam - Plasma Interactions, Kaare J. Nygaard
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
A beam of atoms penetrating a plasma can be considered a line source of contaminants. Atoms excited by the plasma electrons yield information about the spatially resolved electron density and temperature. The light intensity as a function of time and position along the beam can be conveniently observed with an optical multichannel analyzer Since the beam atoms are different from the plasma constituents, the method does not suffer from self-absorption.

Heisenberg Theory Of Ferromagnetism: Constant Coupling Revisited, Harry A. Brown
Heisenberg Theory Of Ferromagnetism: Constant Coupling Revisited, Harry A. Brown
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The Heinsenberg theory of ferromagnetism has been treated by many types of approximations; one of the more successful is known as constant coupling. The literature constants several different ways of arriving at results like those of the constant-coupling approximation, but proofs that they are indeed equivalent are lacking in some cases. It is shown that two of these methods are equivalent for spin 1/2 and explicitly demonstrated that both yield exactly the constant-coupling results, though simpler in use and concept than the latter. Finally, it is shown that one of the two methods yields the same Curie temperatures as constant …
Final-State Effects In Carbon Auger Spectra Of Transition-Metal Carbides, M. A. Smith, L. L. Levenson
Final-State Effects In Carbon Auger Spectra Of Transition-Metal Carbides, M. A. Smith, L. L. Levenson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The carbon Auger spectra of TiC, VC, and Cr3C2 are measured with a resolution of 1.2 eV. Background subtraction is performed, and a deconvolution technique is used to remove energy-dependent broadening from the spectra. An analysis of the data in terms of density-of-states calculations, x-ray emission work, and x-ray photoelectron data shows that final-state effects dominate the Auger spectra. For all of the carbides three peaks are identified as spectral terms resulting directly from final-state hole interactions. Other peaks appearing in the Auger spectra can be identified without final-state considerations. © 1977 The American Physical Society.

Valence-Band Information From The Auger Kvv Spectrum Of Graphite, M. A. Smith, L. L. Levenson
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The Auger KVV and x-ray photoelectron valence-band spectra of atomically clean, well-ordered graphite are measured. After background subtraction is performed and a deconvolution technique is used to remove energy-dependent features from the Auger data, the transition density function is calculated for the graphite valence band. A comparison is made with other experimental work and with a density-of-states calculation. It is found that the transition density closely resembles the density of states if localized hole effects are considered. © 1977 The American Physical Society.
Energy Dependence Of Amorphizing Implant Dose In Silicon, John R. Dennis, Edward Boyd Hale
Energy Dependence Of Amorphizing Implant Dose In Silicon, John R. Dennis, Edward Boyd Hale
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The radiation-induced transformation from crystalline to amorphous silicon was studied using ion implantation. The ion energy was varied from 20 to 180 keV for Li+, N+, Ne+, Ar+, and Kr +. The energy dependence of the critical amorphizing dose was determined by electron spin resonance. Comparison of the data with theoretical calculations of the energy density deposited into atomic processes showed good agreement. This energy-dependent agreement gave evidence that energy density is important to the transformation at both low and high implantation temperatures.

The differential cross sections for excitation of the n=2 state of atomic hydrogen by the impact of electrons with energies of 54, 100, 136, and 200 eV are calculated in the distorted-wave approximation with exchange included. Cross sections for excitation of the 2s1/2, 2p1/2, and 2p3/2 states are calculated and summed to give the n=2 differential cross sections. The results of this calculation are compared with previous theoretical calculations and with recent absolute experimental data.

Cross sections for the processes H++H(1 s)H++H*(n = 2, 3, 4) have been extracted from the energy-loss spectra of 15- to 200-keV protons by using a spectrum-fitting technique. Absolute cross sections have been obtained by normalization of the spectra to the theoretical cross section through the use of the Born approximation at 200 keV. The cross-section curves are very similar in shape with maxima at 60 keV. The results have been compared with available theoretical calculations. The n = 2 and n = 3 cross-section measurements are in very good agreement in curve shape with Glauber-approximation …

Absolute values of doubly differential cross sections are obtained for electron production in helium by 5- to 100-keV proton impact. The measured values along with earlier data at higher energies are compared with theoretical plane-wave Born-approximation functions obtained from a Hartree-Fock potential. Not only is good agreement obtained at high impact energies (above 300 keV), but fairly good agreement is found at low energies (below about 20 keV). For electrons ejected in the backward hemisphere, unexpectedly poor agreement is noted at intermediate energies where the measured cross sections dip to 50% of the calculated values in some cases. Singly differential …

Sodium chloride particles deposited on a gelatin film containing silver nitrate form in a humid environment clearly visible dark brown reaction spots (Liesegang circles) after development in u.v.-light. The size of these reaction spots depends on the mass of NaCl in the particles. To establish the spot size vs particle size relation, particles produced by nebulising NaCl-solutions and sea water were sampled in an aerosol centrifuge. The location of deposition yields the aerodynamic diameter of the particle, and the spot size is measured microscopically. In this way the spot size vs aerodynamic diameter relation is established experimentally in the so …

The radiative lifetimes of the N'=3 to 15 rotational states of the v'=0 level of the B 2Σ- state of CH were measured. Emission lines were observed to N'=15, but no lines above this rotational state were observed. This result agrees with previous studies. The lifetimes of all rotational states were between 300 and 400 ns. Previous measurements have indicated that the N'=15 level might have a lifetime as short as 100 ns.
