Tracks To Therapy, Robert Katz, F. A. Cucinotta Jan 1999

Tracks To Therapy, Robert Katz, F. A. Cucinotta

Robert Katz Publications

Studies of the structure of particle tracks have led to models of track effects based on radial dose and radiobiological target theory that have been very successful in describing and predicting track effects in physical, chemical, and biological systems. For describing mammalian cellular inactivation two inactivation modes are required, called gamma-kill aid ion-kill, the first due to synergistic effects of delta rays from adjacent ion paths thus resembling the effects from gamma rays, and the second to the effects of single ion transits through a cell nucleus. The ion-kill effect is more severe, where the fraction of cells experiencing ion …

Resistivity, Thermopower And The Correlation To Infrared Active Vibrations Of Mn1.56co0.96ni0.48o4 Spinel Films Sputtered In An Oxygen Partial Pressure Series, Rand Dannenberg, S. Baliga, R. J. Gambino, Alexander H. King, A. P. Doctor Jan 1999

Resistivity, Thermopower And The Correlation To Infrared Active Vibrations Of Mn1.56co0.96ni0.48o4 Spinel Films Sputtered In An Oxygen Partial Pressure Series, Rand Dannenberg, S. Baliga, R. J. Gambino, Alexander H. King, A. P. Doctor

Alexander H. King

Mn1.56Co0.96Ni0.48O4 spinel was sputter deposited using a series of oxygen partial pressures. Electrical resistivity versus temperature and thermopower versus temperature measurements at each oxygen partial pressure were made. The variations of the thermopower and resistivity with oxygen partial pressure are consistent with a change in the ratio of Mn3+ to Mn4+ cations, which occurs due to changes of oxygen content of the material. The weak temperature dependence of the thermopower indicates small polaron hopping is the charge transport mechanism. Combining the models of Mott and Schnakenberg to analyze the transport data, we find that the Debye temperature (or frequency) is …

On Black Hole Horizon Fluctuations, Kirill Tuchin Jan 1999

On Black Hole Horizon Fluctuations, Kirill Tuchin

Kirill Tuchin

A study of the high angular momentum particles ‘atmosphere’ near the Schwarzschild black hole horizon suggested that strong gravitational interactions occur at invariant distance of the order of 3√M [2]. We present a generalization of this result to the Kerr-Newman black hole case. It is shown that the larger charge and angular momentum black hole bears, the larger invariant distance at which strong gravitational interactions occur becomes. This invariant distance is of order 3√r+2(r+ − r−). This implies that the Planckian structure of the Hawking radiation of extreme black holes is completely broken.

Infrared Optical Properties Of Mn1.56co0.96ni0.48o4 Spinel Films Sputter Deposited In An Oxygen Partial Pressure Series, Rand Dannenberg, S. Baliga, R. J. Gambino, Alexander H. King, A. P. Doctor Jan 1999

Infrared Optical Properties Of Mn1.56co0.96ni0.48o4 Spinel Films Sputter Deposited In An Oxygen Partial Pressure Series, Rand Dannenberg, S. Baliga, R. J. Gambino, Alexander H. King, A. P. Doctor

Alexander H. King

Mn1.56Co0.96Ni0.48O4 spinel films were sputter deposited onto silicon substrates using a series of oxygen partial pressures. Fourier transform infrared transmission and reflectance, and Raman scattering measurements were made. The 1–25 μm wavelength range was examined using these optical techniques. The complex index of refraction was calculated for this entire wavelength range. Infrared active vibrations were analyzed using multiple oscillator analysis, Kramers–Kronig analysis, and derivative reflectance spectroscopy. The Raman and infrared active lattice vibrations were observed to shift with increasing oxygen partial pressure during film deposition, and were consistent with the earlier published shift in Debye frequency calculated from resistivity data. …

The He-Lih Potential Energy Surface Revisited. I. An Interpolated Rigid Rotor Surface, Robert Hinde Jan 1999

The He-Lih Potential Energy Surface Revisited. I. An Interpolated Rigid Rotor Surface, Robert Hinde

Robert Hinde

We reconsider the potential energy surface of the He–LiH system recently examined by Gianturco and co-workers [F. A. Gianturco et al., Chem. Phys. 215, 227 (1997)]. We compute the He–LiH interaction energy at the CCSD(T) level using large correlation consistent atomic basis sets supplemented with bond functions. To capture the severe anisotropy of the He–LiH potential, we interpolate our ab initio points in the angular direction with cubic splines, then expand the splines in terms of Legendre polynomials. The resulting smooth potential surface differs substantially from that of Gianturco et al.; in particular, our attractive He–LiH well is more …

Thermodynamical Stability Of Ch3ono And Ch3ono-: A Coupled-Cluster And Hartree-Fock-Density-Functional-Theory Study, Gennady L. Gutsev, Puru Jena, Rodney J. Bartlett

Physics Publications

The structure and thermodynamic stability of methylnitrite and its anion are studied by the infinite-order coupled-cluster method with all singles and doubles and noniterative inclusion of triple excitations [CCSD(T)] and Hartree–Fock-density-functional theory (HFDFT). We have optimized the geometries and computed the harmonic vibrational frequencies of major fragments, H2, CH, NH, OH, CN, N2, CO, NO, O2, CH2, NH2, H2O, HCN, HNC, HCO, HNO, O2H, CO2, NO2, CH3, NH3, CNH2, HCO2, HNO2, CH3N, CH3O, CH3NO, CH3ON, CH2NO2, and their anions, when the latter exist. Fragmentation energies obtained at both levels of theory are rather close to each other, except for channels …

Burnett Description For Plane Poiseuille Flow, Alejandro Garcia, F. Uribe Jan 1999

Burnett Description For Plane Poiseuille Flow, Alejandro Garcia, F. Uribe

Faculty Publications

Two recent works have shown that at small Knudsen number ~K! the pressure and temperature profiles in plane Poiseuille flow exhibit a different qualitative behavior from the profiles obtained by the Navier-Stokes equations. Tij and Santos [J. Stat. Phys. 76, 1399 (1994)] used the Bhatnagar-Gross-Kook model to show that the temperature profile is bimodal and the pressure profile is nonconstant. Malek-Mansour, Baras, and Garcia [Physica A 240, 255 (1997)] qualitatively confirmed these predictions in computer experiments using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method (DSMC). In this paper we compare the DSMC measurements of hydrodynamic variables and non-equilibrium fluxes with numerical …

Search For Exchange-Antisymmetric Two-Photon States, D. Demille, D. Budker, N. Derr, Edward Deveney Jan 1999

Search For Exchange-Antisymmetric Two-Photon States, D. Demille, D. Budker, N. Derr, Edward Deveney

Physics Faculty Publications

Atomic two-photon J = 0↔J′ = 1 transitions are forbidden for photons of the same energy. This selection rule is related to the fact that photons obey Bose-Einstein statistics. We have searched for small violations of this selection rule by studying transitions in atomic Ba. We set a limit on the probability v that photons are in exchange-antisymmetric states: v<1.2×10-7.

Neutron Stars And Black Holes As Machos, Aparna Venkatesan, Angela V. Olinto, James W. Truran Jan 1999

Neutron Stars And Black Holes As Machos, Aparna Venkatesan, Angela V. Olinto, James W. Truran

Physics and Astronomy

We consider the contribution of neutron stars and black holes to the dynamical mass of galactic halos. In particular, we show that if these compact objects were produced by an early generation of stars with initial metallicity 10-4 Z☉, they can contribute at most 30%-40% of the Galactic halo mass without creating supersolar levels of enrichment. We show that the case for halo neutron stars and black holes cannot be rejected on metal overproduction arguments alone because of the critical factor of the choice of progenitor metallicity in determining the yields. We show that this scenario satisfies …

Factorization And High-Energy Effective Action, Ian Balitsky Jan 1999

Factorization And High-Energy Effective Action, Ian Balitsky

Physics Faculty Publications

I demonstrate that the amplitude for high-energy scattering can be factorized as a convolution of the contributions due to fast and slow fields. The fast and slow fields interact by means of Wilson-line operators—infinite gauge factors ordered along the straight line. The resulting factorization formula gives a starting point for a new approach to the effective action for high-energy scattering in QCD.

Role Of Spontaneous Emission In Ultracold Two-Color Optical Collisions, C. I. Sukenik, T. Walker Jan 1999

Role Of Spontaneous Emission In Ultracold Two-Color Optical Collisions, C. I. Sukenik, T. Walker

Physics Faculty Publications

We have observed violet photon emission resulting from energy-pooling collisions between ultracold Rb atoms illuminated by two colors of near-resonant infrared laser light. We have used this emission as a probe of doubly excited state ultracold collision dynamics. By varying the detuning of the lasers, we have clearly identified the effect of spontaneous emission on the collision process.

Reality And Theory In A Collision, Norman Derby, Robert Fuller Jan 1999

Reality And Theory In A Collision, Norman Derby, Robert Fuller

Robert G. Fuller Publications

Billiard-ball collisions are frequently cited in introductory physics textbooks, usually as examples of elastic collisions. Many articles describing such collisions have appeared in this journal and elsewhere, but comparisons between theoretical results and actual collisions are rare, and most of the theoretical analyses have simply assumed friction to be negligible during the collision time. Students trying to simulate billiard-ball collisions on a popular simulation program such as Interactive Physics® may encounter interesting collisions, such as ones in which the cue ball is thrown up into the air when the frictional coefficients are set at even modest levels. We decided to …

Hands-On Computer Use In Science Classrooms: The Skeptics Are Still Waiting, Alan Runge, Amy N. Spiegel, Lisa M. Pytlikzillig, Steven Dunbar, Robert Fuller, Glenn Sowell, David W. Brooks Jan 1999

Hands-On Computer Use In Science Classrooms: The Skeptics Are Still Waiting, Alan Runge, Amy N. Spiegel, Lisa M. Pytlikzillig, Steven Dunbar, Robert Fuller, Glenn Sowell, David W. Brooks

Robert G. Fuller Publications

Frank Collea was a friend of Robert Fuller and David Brooks, and a mentor to Brooks. We miss him for his energy, his enthusiasm for teaching science, and his perception about how to improve science education. Frank Collea was not a big fan of using computers in instruction. Frank was neither an advocate of using computers to deliver instruction, nor an advocate of teaching their use as professional tools. Indeed, he thought that most of those of us who advocate computer use make assertions that are unwarranted. A decade ago, desktop computers were beginning to appear in colleges and universities …

Facular Structures On Cool Stars, Serdar Evren Jan 1999

Facular Structures On Cool Stars, Serdar Evren

Turkish Journal of Physics

Activity has many manifestations, from dark spots to bright regions, to the presence of the heated chromosphere, to the superheated corona. Sunspots are extended, strongly magnetic regions on the Sun. Photospheric faculae are generally visible only at the limb. Polar faculae are smaller than the main-zone faculae. The contributions of the active region faculae and the facular network are at least as important as the solar spots in augmenting the solar emission.

Photometric Imaging With Distributive Solar Analogy, Zeki̇ Eker Jan 1999

Photometric Imaging With Distributive Solar Analogy, Zeki̇ Eker

Turkish Journal of Physics

The importance of DSA (Distributive Solar Analogy) when modeling starspots from a photometric data is discussed. It's advantage over the other modeling techniques to confine the solution parameters, especially the spot latitudes are described. Unlike the other photometric techniques which tries to locate limited number of cool surface spots, DSA aims to model global distribution of all virtually existing spots.

On The Coronal Activity Of The Rs Cvn-Type Binaries, Osman Demi̇rcan, Hasan Ak Jan 1999

On The Coronal Activity Of The Rs Cvn-Type Binaries, Osman Demi̇rcan, Hasan Ak

Turkish Journal of Physics

We re-analysed the behaviour of coronal activity of the RS CVn-type binaries as a function of stellar and orbital parameters. Highly significant correlations were found between the x-ray luminosity L_x and the stellar radius R, the Roche lobe filling fraction \Gamma, and the Alfven radius RA. The correlations of L_x with the mass M, the absolute magnitude M_V, the surface gravity g, the Roche lobe filling fraction \Gamma, and the Alfven radius RA are likely to be due to correlations of these quantities with the stellar radius R. Surprisingly, no correlation of L_x on the color (B-V), the rotation velocity …

Co-Ordinated Multi-Wavelength Observations Of The Rs Cvn System Cf Tuc, Edwin Budding, K. L. Jones, O. B. Slee, L. Watson

Turkish Journal of Physics

A `multi-site, multi-wavelength' campaign on the eclipsing RS CVn binary CF Tuc was carried out in 1996 over both optical (photometry and spectroscopy) and radio (microwave) ranges. The microwave data was taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). It covered slightly more than one complete orbital cycle at 4.8 and 8.64 GHz in one continuous run. There was also coverage of about 25% of the light curve at 1.38 and 2.38 GHz. High dispersion spectroscopy was obtained using the McLellan 1m telescope and échelle spectrograph at Mt John University Observatory (New Zealand). Supporting photometry came from various smaller-scale facilities …

Magnetodielectrical polymer compositional materials containing carbonyl iron (CI) were obtained. The changes of permittivity and permeability, loss angle tangent, resistivity, mechanical and electrical properties, depending on the content of carbonyl iron have been investigated. It is shown that the magnetodielectrical materials with 20-40% mass content of carbonyl iron have possible practical use.

Energetics Of Spherical Clusters, Hati̇ce Kökten, Şaki̇r Erkoç Jan 1999

Energetics Of Spherical Clusters, Hati̇ce Kökten, Şaki̇r Erkoç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The energetics of spherical clusters of elements Fe in bcc, Ca and Pb in fcc, and C in diamond structure have been investigated by using emprical many-body potential energy function which contains two- and three-body inteactions. In the variation of average interaction energy per atom (E_b) versus cluster size (N_{sh}; number of shells) only carbon clusters have magic numbers at 5, 8, 11 and 14 shells. E_b versus N_{sh} becomes smooth after 15 shells for carbon, however this variation becomes smooth for the other elements after 10 shells. The variation of two-body to three-body interaction energy versus cluster size becomes …

Exchange-Correlation Effects In The Impurity-Limited Mobility Of Gaas Quantum Wires, B. Tanatar Jan 1999

Exchange-Correlation Effects In The Impurity-Limited Mobility Of Gaas Quantum Wires, B. Tanatar

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the many-body effects described by the local-field corrections on the mobility of quasi-one dimensional electron systems. The low temperature mobility due to remote-impurity doping and interface-roughness scattering is calculated within the relaxation time approximation. We find that correlation effects significantly reduce the mobility at low density.

Novel Detectors And Lasers For Telecommunications, Anthony J. Vickers, Hamid R. Mashayekhi, Pattara Aiyarak, Diego Oriato Jan 1999

Novel Detectors And Lasers For Telecommunications, Anthony J. Vickers, Hamid R. Mashayekhi, Pattara Aiyarak, Diego Oriato

Turkish Journal of Physics

For the most part the field of optoelectronics has been dominated by the pn junction for both detector and laser applications. This domination will probably hold true for laser applications for many more years although the simple forward biased junction may be challenged by other novel approaches as increased complexity is required such as multi-wavelength emission, wavelength conversion, and Thz operation. The first real novel use of the pn junction was developed by Balkan et al. [1]. Their HELLISH device paved the way for novel approaches in the use of the pn junction. In this paper I shall introduce another …

The Extended Hybrid Model For Optical Phonon Confinement, C. R. Bennett, B. K. Ridley, N. A. Zakhleniuk, M. Babiker

Turkish Journal of Physics

The theory of optical phonons and their confinement in heterostructures is reviewed with analogies made to the theory of acoustic phonons. The dielectric continuum (DC) model is obtained when bulk dispersion is ignored and the hybrid model is found when dispersion is included. The issue of boundary conditions is investigated and the solutions are shown with comparisons made using electron-phonon scattering.

Confined Bipolarons In The Strong Coupling Limit, R. Tuğrul Senger, Ati̇lla Erçelebi̇ Jan 1999

Confined Bipolarons In The Strong Coupling Limit, R. Tuğrul Senger, Ati̇lla Erçelebi̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

Within the framework of the strong-coupling polaron theory and the bulk phonon approximation we report the possibility and criteria in achieving stable bipolaron states in confined media. We use a simple model of two electrons constrained within an anisotropic three dimensional parabolic potential box of tunable barrier slopes. Conforming the confining potential from one geometry to the other, we obtain an explicit tracking of the stability criteria as a function of the degree of confinement uncovering all low dimensional major geometric configurations of common interest.

Canonical Treatment Of Regular Lagrangians With Holonomic Constraints As Singular Systems, Eqab M. Rabei Jan 1999

Canonical Treatment Of Regular Lagrangians With Holonomic Constraints As Singular Systems, Eqab M. Rabei

Turkish Journal of Physics

Regular Lagrangians with holomonic constraints are treated as singular systems using the canonical method. The Lagrange multipliers are introduced as generalized coordinates. The regular Lagrangians are extended to be singular and the Hamiltonian formulation is obtained. The equations of motion are written as total differential equations in terms of the time t and the Lagrange multipliers. It is also shown that Lagrange multipliers can be determined from the integrability conditions.
