Structural Strain In Small Prenucleation Water Clusters, Donald E. Hagen
Structural Strain In Small Prenucleation Water Clusters, Donald E. Hagen
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
A method is developed for incorporating strain energy into a microphysical treatment of small prenucleation water clusters. The molecules are arranged in a clathrate-cage structure, and this structure is allowed to relax to minimize the strain energy resulting from hydrogen bond stretching and bending. The method is applied to various cluster sizes up to 130 molecules and the results are compared with the classical liquid drop model. The effect of anharmonic terms in the interaction is included.

Charge Transfer Between O Ions And O2 Molecules In The Ground State And Singlet Delta Excited State, R. F. Mathis, William R. Snow
Charge Transfer Between O Ions And O2 Molecules In The Ground State And Singlet Delta Excited State, R. F. Mathis, William R. Snow
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
A crossed-beam apparatus has been used to study charge transfer between O- ions and O2 molecules in the ground state and in the metastable, singlet delta, excited state. The energy of the incident ions ranged from 10 to 10000 eV. The cross section for charge transfer between O - and ground state O2 was found to have a maximum of 7.8X10-16 cm2 at about 5 keV. At the lower energies there is good agreement with the previous measurements of Snow et al. and Rutherford and Turner who also used crossed beam techniques. The cross section for charge transfer between O- …

A series of experiments to study the stopping sites of 12B nuclei implanted in single crystals of Be and Mg will be discussed. Previous measurements of the quadrupole couplings of 12B in these metals indicated that two different stopping sites existed, one of which produced a negligible quadrupole coupling.
High-Temperature Annealing In Electron-Irradiated Cds, David C. Look
High-Temperature Annealing In Electron-Irradiated Cds, David C. Look
Physics Faculty Publications
The room‐temperature irradiation of as‐grown n‐type CdS by 1‐MeV electrons results in an increase in carrier concentration. The damage anneals in the temperature range 250–300°C, and a study of the annealing kinetics reveals an activation energy of about 1.3 eV which is attributed to sulfur‐vacancy motion.
Evaluation Of Model For The Contributin Of Phonon-Induced Tunneling To Donor Esr Spectral Narrowing In Germanium, David L. Meier, William F. Parks, Edward Boyd Hale
Evaluation Of Model For The Contributin Of Phonon-Induced Tunneling To Donor Esr Spectral Narrowing In Germanium, David L. Meier, William F. Parks, Edward Boyd Hale
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The model commonly assumed to explain the narrowing of the ESR spectra of donor impurities in germanium is examined in detail. This model combines the Anderson line-narrowing theory with the Miller and Abrahams theory for the phonon-induced tunneling (hopping) of an electron between impurities. The predictions of this model are found to be in drastic disagreement with experimental results now available. It is shown that the narrowed linewidth should depend strongly on donor concentration, acceptor concentration, and temperature. Future spin-resonance experiments in highly compensated samples may show the effects of hopping, but no evidence now exists which indicates that hopping …

A Computational Method For Determining The Growth Rates Of Saline Water Drops., Robert Alexander Fletcher
A Computational Method For Determining The Growth Rates Of Saline Water Drops., Robert Alexander Fletcher
Masters Theses
"A phenomenologica1 theory is presented which describes the growth or evaporation of cloud droplets containing dissolved NaCl. The main interest is in the early stages of growth. The Maxwell-Fuchs equation is employed with refinements to account for the high sa1t concentration in small droplets. A computer program is presented that ca1culates the growth time as a function of radius for cloud droplets nucleated with NaCl.
The growth times obtainable from the Maxwe11-Fuchs equation differ significantly from the growth times ca1culated using the refined Maxwell-Fuche equation for ambient relative humidities less than or equal to 100%. Growth times for droplets nucleated …
Combined Airglow And Incoherent Scatter Observations As A Technique For Studying Neutral Atmospheric Variations, L L. Cogger, Vincent B. Wickwar, Herbert C. Carlson
Combined Airglow And Incoherent Scatter Observations As A Technique For Studying Neutral Atmospheric Variations, L L. Cogger, Vincent B. Wickwar, Herbert C. Carlson
All Physics Faculty Publications
Night airglow 6300 Å intensities and electron density altitude profiles observed at Arecibo have been combined with dissociative recombination theory to obtain information about the nighttime variation of F-region N2 and O2 densities. The application of this technique is illustrated using data from two nights in March 1971. The gross nighttime variation shows reasonable similarity to the Jacchia [1970] model, and also follows the time variation of the measured exospheric temperature. However, on both nights there is evidence of a postmidnight enhancement of the O2/N2 density ratio associated with a rapid decrease in the …

This paper reports the results of incoherent scatter radar observations of high-altitude ion drifts and other plasma parameters made February 24, 1972, at Chatanika, Alaska (L = 5.7), during a period of magnetic disturbance. For this experiment, conducted between 0909 to 1303 UT (2309 to 0303 AST), the radar line of sight was held fixed in the magnetic meridian plane so that the observed north-south ion drifts could be interpreted in terms of a westward electric field that ranged in magnitude from −10 to +35 mV m−1. The results confirm many effects found previously through other experimental …

In this paper we describe the results of a series of geomagnetic meridian plane radar incoherent scatter plasma transport measurements. From such data the eastward (zonal) component of the electric field can be deduced. The results show that the electric field has an eastward component whenever the discrete auroras are northward of the region of the measurement. The zonal field component turns westward as the discrete auroras move equatorward of the region of the measurement. Thus there is an eastward electric field boundary near the equatorward limit of the discrete aurora, which is the poleward boundary of the diffuse aurora …
Intuitive Concepts In Elementary Topology, Gary Rothwell
Intuitive Concepts In Elementary Topology, Gary Rothwell
Honors Theses
My hour special study in intuitive topology originated in a curiosity of what exactly topology was and how it might be related to physics, my field of interest. The book I used was, Intuitive Concepts in Elementary Topology, by B.H. Arnold. This book is designed as a sophomore-junior level three hour course. Needless to say, I didn't quite cover the whole book in an hour a week. I mainly stuck to the intuitive concepts. Intuitive topology is dealing with more physical objects where the point set topology involves set theory; their unions, intersections and subsets.
Cross Sections For Photoionization Of The 6²P-Fine Structure Levels Of Cesium, John Daniel Jones
Cross Sections For Photoionization Of The 6²P-Fine Structure Levels Of Cesium, John Daniel Jones
Doctoral Dissertations
"The cross sections for photoionization of excited cesium from the 62P3/2- and 6²P1/2-fine structure levels have been measured using a triple crossed-beam apparatus. Two photon beams, one for excitation and one for ionization, impinge upon an atomic beam and produce ions at the point of intersection. The relative cross section is determined from a knowledge of the ion count rate and the relative photon flux of the ionization light. The results are normalized to available theoretical calculations and compared with recombination measurements in cesium plasmas. The present cross sections are found to decrease with …

We present models for temperature and ionization structure of low, uniform-density (n ~ 0.3 cm^-3) interstellar gas in a galactic disk which is exposed to soft X-rays from supernova outbursts occurring randomly in space and time. The structure was calculated by computing the time record of temperature and ionization at a given point by Monte Carlo simulation. The calculation yields probability distribution functions for ionized fraction x, temperature T, and their various observable moments. These time-dependent models predict a bimodal temperature distribution of the gas with structure in x, T that agrees with various observations. Cold regions in the low-density …

Optical Pumping In A Flowing Helium Afterglow With Additive Metal Impurity Atoms, Laird D. Schearer
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
It is demonstrated that in a Penning collision of optically oriented metastable helium atoms with an impurity metal atom such as barium, both the longitudinal and transverse components of spin angular momentum are conserved. This results in a polarization of the ion which may be detected by optical emission in the case of excited ion levels or absorption for the ground states. A series of experiments is described which demonstrates the spin dependence of the Penning-collision process. The magnetic resonance of excited-state ions may be observed directly; from the resonance-linewidth radiative lifetimes may be measured. © 1974 The American Physical …

The Thermolysis Of Bornyl And Iso-Bornyl Acetates, Allen Reed Jensen
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Recent investigations in the area of acetate gas phase thermolysis indicate a mechanism which involves a similar transition state despite the acetate used. The reaction preferentially goes through a cis-elimination with the β-hydrogen atoms, proceeding through a six-membered ring transition state.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a strained bicyclic ring system upon the mechanism of acetate thermolysis. Throuqh kinetic studies and product identification of the pyrolyzed products of bornyl and iso-bornyl acetate, an insight into the preferred mechanism can be obtained. A previous study (cited later) indicated that the accepted six-membered cis …

Double Reflection Dips - From Grating Ruled Semiconductors, Le-Fu Teng
Doctoral Dissertations
"The double dips, previously observed by Fischer, Anderson, et al., which appeared in the reflection spectra of grating surfaces on the Te-doped semiconductors GaAs and InSb around the plasmon and phonon frequencies have been measured in more detail. In the plasmon region, several possible explanations of the phenomenon are discussed. A simple equation checked with the rigorous theory is proposed and is shown to fit the data well. In the phonon region, the extra dip is calculated and identified as being caused by surface phonons"--Abstract, page ii.

Paper 1: “Surface electromagnetic wave (SEW) dispersion curves are usually calculated using a simple equation derived from Maxwell’s equations and boundary conditions. When complex dielectric functions are used for the two media, the component of the propagation vector along the surface kx becomes infinite as the frequency ω approaches the surface polariton frequency ωs if ω is considered complex and kx real. On the other hand, if kx is considered complex and ω real, the dispersion curves bend back toward smaller kx as ω approaches ωs. We have previously demonstrated that both types …
Unity In The Theory Of Elementary Particles Through Group Theory, Douglas Karl Lemon
Unity In The Theory Of Elementary Particles Through Group Theory, Douglas Karl Lemon
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Science is the process of seeking unity in the diversity of natural phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that group theory brings unity to the theory of elementary particles. The prime motivations are first, to find a quantitative representation of the Lorentz transformation, and second, to find a quantitative representation of angular momentum. Since both of these have continuous parameters, groups with continuous parameters, particularly Lie groups, are of interest.
The first portion of the paper develops the definition of Lie groups and their associated Lie algebras. The prerequisite definitions of transformations, groups, group representations, and continuous …
