The probability distribution of the velocities of gas molecules after collision with a rapidly moving rigid body

The above problem is met, for example, in the case of the collision of molecules of the atmosphere with an artificial earth satellite and leads to the problem of determining the probability distribution of the absolute value of the vector sum of a constant vector and a Maxwell vector (the latter being a vector, whose rectangular components are distributed normally, with the same standard deviation and mean value zero). The resultant probability density is given by equation (18), the complement to the distribution function by (24), the mean value by (27) and the variance by (31). These results are obtained by transforming the corresponding three-dimensional normal distribution to spherical co-ordinates and integrating over the co-ordinate angles and , which yields the required probability density; the other results are then obtained from it by the usual methods.

Mikrophy'sikalische Vorgänge,die die Entstehung der Schnellen Schichtungswellen in der Neonglimmentladung bedingen

Zusammenfassung Im nachstehenden Artikel werden mikrophysikalische Vorgänge behandelt, die das Auftreten schneller Schichtungswellen in Neonglimmentladungen veranlassen können. Es werden sowohl die qualitativen Abhängigkeiten, als auch die ziffernmäigen Werte der Parameter der Schichtungswellen mit den charakteristischen Gröenwerten der in diesem Entladungstypus vor sich gehenden Vorgänge verglichen. Auf Grund der vorgenommenen Vergleiche kann gesagt werden, da die Relaxationszeiten der schnellen Wellen durch die Diffusionslebensdauer der atomaren, bzw. molekularen Ionen gegeben sind.

Nanoscale Characterization for the Classroom

This report describes the development of a semester course in nano-scale characterization. The interdisciplinary course is opened to both advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a standard undergraduate preparation in Materials Science, Chemistry, or Physics. The approach is formal rather than the typical research seminar and has a laboratory component.     

Excitation of levels by inelastic neutron scattering

A scintillation spectrometer in ring geometry was used to study the gamma rays accompanying the inelastic scattering of fast neutrons on Na, Mg, Mn, Fe and I. The energies of the gamma rays were in most cases arranged into the cascade decay schemes of excited nuclei. Some of the transitions, which had not yet been described, were also found. These are the lines (2147±21) keV for Mg²⁵, (2135±22) keV, (2750±40) keV, (3040±50) keV and (3200±50) keV for Mn⁵⁵ and a series of other gamma rays emitted during the interaction of fast neutrons with I¹²⁷, which are given in the paper.

Zur Temperaturabhängigkeit einiger Kenngrössen der Verfestigungskurven von Zinkeinkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es werden Ergebnisse beschrieben über die Temperaturabhängigkeit: der kritischen Schubspannung ₀, des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , im BereichA der Verfestigungskurve; des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _B im BereichB, der Längea _A des BereichsA und der Schubspannung _A am Ende des BereichsA. Die kritische Schubspannung wächst im Temperaturbereich 225–344°K linear mit abnehmender Temperatur. Der Temperaturverlauf des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , stimmt überein mit älteren Messungen an h.k.p. Metallen. Ähnlich verhält sich der Verfestigungskoeffizient _B . Die Schubspannung am Ende des BereichsA wird durch thermisch aktivierte Vorgänge beeinflußt. Der BereichA verkürzt sich im Temperaturbereich 0–85°C linear mit zunehmender Temperatur. Temperaturwechselversuche zeigen, daß im BereichB thermisch irreversible Änderungen in der Versetzungsstruktur auftreten.

Domain structure of cobalt whiskers

An experimental investigation is made into the domain structure of cobalt whiskers by the colloid technique. A new type of domain structure was found; the width of the domains is studied as a function of the thickness of the whisker. This dependence follows a two-thirds power law and does not agree with existing theories which predict a half power law.

Diffusion in a one-dimensional gas of hard point particles

We simulate the classical diffusion of a particle of massM in an infinite one-dimensional system of hard point particles of massm in equilibrium. Each computer run corresponds to about 10⁸ collisions of the diffusive particle. We find that (t) 1/t fort large enough, and a crossover from an M m regime where=2 to=3 forM=m. The diffusion constant has a sharp maximum atM=m. We study moments x(t)² and x(t)⁴, and examine the behavior ofq ² (t)=x(t)⁴/3x(t)²². We find thatq(t)1 (consistent with a normal distribution) in theM limit (for all timest) and in the t limit for allM.

A note on the Watanabe theory of weak interactions

It is shown that according to the Watanabe theory of weak interactions a resonant scattering of electrons by protons must take place. The resonant energy depends on the massm _B of the intermediate boson. Form _B=2300m _e this energy is about 213 MeV in the centre of the mass system (c. m. s.). The energy width at resonance is 1·4 MeV.

The electroluminescence of ZnS-Cu,Mn

The brightness waves of ZnS-Cu, Mn phosphor were investigated and it was found that their shape changes from that characteristic for copper-activated phosphors to that characteristic for manganese-activated phosphors as a function of the magnitude of the voltage applied, the length of the pulses and the temperature. In order to explain the results it is assumed that simultaneously with the mechanism of electroluminescence, accepted for ZnS-Cu (ionization of activators; recombination and radiation delayed in phase compared with voltage), there exists an immediate recombination of the Cu activators in the barriers, which is accompanied by radiation in phase with the voltage.

Derivation and solution of a low-friction Fokker-Planck equation for a bound Brownian particle

The low-friction region of an anharmonically bound Brownian particle is examined using systematic elimination procedures. We obtain an asymptotic expression for the spectrum of the Fokker-Planck operator. Asymptotic means both small anharmonicities and small friction constants compared to the oscillatory frequency . We conclude that Kramers' low-friction equation is generally valid only for 0<0.01 and has to be modified for 0.01 by including phase-dependent terms. From these the nonlinear part of the force field in connection with a finite temperature is shown to shorten the correlation time of the equilibrium velocity autocorrelation function and to renormalize the frequency of the corresponding spectral density.

Energy spectrum and angular distribution of muons from the decay of heavy leptons produced in colliding electron-positron beams

On the basis of an arbitrary (V, A) structure of the neutral weak ¯ee and LL currents (L=^–, M⁰) a study is made of the processes of production in colliding electron-positron beams of pairs of heavy leptons with subsequent decays in accordance with the schemes e⁺e^––(µ^–v_µv) + ⁺( anything) and e⁺e^–M⁰(µ^–e⁺v_e) + M⁰( anything). The energy spectrum and asymmetry of the distribution of the produced muons are investigated.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 66–70, February, 1981.

The influence op demagnetization,anisotropy and stress on the resonance condition of spin-wave resonance

Spin-wave resonance equations of motion, based on Valenta's model of a thin film, are derived on the basis of quantum mechanics. We start out from the Hamiltonian including Zeeman, exchange and dipolar interaction. Phenomenological terms respecting the influence of anisotropy and stress are introduced into the equations of motion and the resonance condition is derived. The influence of the above effects on the resonance condition is discussed and a comparison is made with experiment.

On the Brownian motion of a massive sphere suspended in a hard-sphere fluid. II. Molecular dynamics estimates of the friction coefficient

The friction coefficient exerted by a hard-sphere fluid on an infinitely massive Brownian sphere is calculated for several size ratios , where and are the diameters of the Brownian and fluid spheres, respectively. The exact microscopic expression derived in part I of this work from kinetic theory is transformed and shown to be proportional to the time integral of the autocorrelation function of the momentum transferred from the fluid to the Brownian sphere during instantaneous collisions. Three different methods are described to extract the friction coefficient from molecular dynamics simulations carried out onfinite systems. The three independent methods lead to estimates of which agree within statisticalerrors (typically 5%). The results are compared to the predictions of Enskog theory and of the hydrodynamic Stokes law. The former breaks down as the size ratio and/or the packing fraction of the fluid increase. Somewhat surprisingly, Stokes' law is found to hold withstick boundary conditions, in the range 1/4.5 explored in the present simulations, with a hydrodynamic diameterd=. The analysis of the moleuclar dynamics data on the basis of Stokes' law withslip boundary conditions is less conclusive, although the right trend is found as / increases.

The magnetic dipole moment of the 150 keV state of177Lu

The magnetic dipole interaction of the 150 keV state of¹⁷⁷Lu in an environment of metallic ytterbium has been investigated by time-differential perturbed angular correlation experiments. The measurements were performed in an external magnetic field of 0.4 T at room temperature. Two independent measurements at different - cascades give the same Larmor precession frequency. From the weighted average the magnetic dipole moment of the 150 keV state is derived as =+5.5(3) _K. From the angular correlation coefficient A₂₂=–0.042(7) of the (139–150) keV - cascade the mixing ratio =+0.21(4) is deduced. The coefficient A₂₂=+0.015(7) of the (1080–150) keV - cascade yields the mixing ratio =+0.08(4).     

Properties of a weak link with tunable strength in a quasi-one-dimensional superconductor

In a superconducting whisker a region of weakened superconductivity (weak link) has been induced by a second crystal carrying a control current and crossing the first one. By varying the control current the grade of weakness could be continuously adjusted and its influence on the voltage-current characteristics of the weak link could be investigated.

Luminescence of AgCl crystals

The luminescence of normal and deformed single crystals of AgCl of different thickness was measured at a temperature of –180°C. With deformed samples the decrease in intensity of the luminescence was measured. On the luminescence band of the above crystals we observed a fine structure for which the series rule could be used (edge of series =4640 Å, =5080 Å).The observed luminescence was explained by means of the exciton mechanism proposed by Matyá, i.e. annihilation of a localized exciton either on a cation vacancy or on a cation vacancy on a dislocation jog. The luminescence yield at –183°C, =1.6×10^–3%±10%, was measured by a photographic method.
