The vapour jets of electrode material of a short-time high-intensity electric discharge

The velocity of vapours from electrodes and the values of the electric gradient of the channel were measured. An explanation is given of the dependence of the discharge rate of the vapours on the electrode material and the thermal origin of the jets is confirmed. The validity of the results is shown for the case of a different experimental arrangement, or the formation of other types of discharges on electrodes.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ПЕРЕХОДНЫХ Э ФФЕКТОВ НА ИЗМЕРЕНИЕ КРИВЫХ НАМАГНИЧЕННОСТИ КОМ МУТАЦИОННЫМ БАЛЛИСТИЧЕСКИМ МЕТО ДОМ

The paper gives an analysis of the conditions in the primary circuit of equipment for measuring the magnetization curves of ferromagnets by the ballistic method. It investigates the influence of transitional current states caused by sudden changes in the circuit parameters (commutation, switching off and on of circuit), on the magnetic state of the ferromagnet. In this connection it points out the disadvantages of using the commutational ballistic method compared with the summation ballistic method for measuring the magnetization curves of ferromagnets with rectangular hysteresis loop and very short magnetization reversal time.

Spatial period of moving striations as function of electric field strength in glow discharge

During a systematic investigation of the parameters of a moving stratification in a glow discharge in helium and neon it was found that the spatial period of the striations is a simple, unique function of the d-c (constant) component of the longitudinal electric field strengthE. It was found that this dependence is hyperbolic and that the simple relation (1) or (2) thus holds. In the relation has the significance of a potential fall between the corresponding points of two neighbouring striations and in the measured range of pressures, currents and diameters of discharge tubes it depends only on the sort of gas and type of striations.

A note on the theory of the successive production of moving striations in the plasma of inert gases

Approximate expressions are derived on the basis of Pekárek's theoretical paper [1] for the period of the maximum t_B of a wave packet produced by the passage of a wave of stratification before the aperture of a photomultiplier, and for its time width in the half-height t_B. The relaxation time of a wave of stratification, following from the theory [1], can thus be calculated by means of the experimentally measured velocity of motion of the maximum of a wave packet u and its width t_B. The calculation is supplemented by numerical data on the magnitude of errors committed by using approximate expressions.

The influence of the spectral profile of theK₁₂ doublet and diffraction broadening on the integrated intensities of high angle diffractions

Relations are derived giving the influence of the spectral profile of theK _{1 2} doublet and the influence of diffraction broadening on the productLP of the Lorentz and polarization factor. The relations are used to calculate the numerical values of the corresponding corrections for the theoretical values of the integrated intensities of diffractions in the angular region 75°85° and for the most frequently usedK radiation of copper, cobalt and iron.It follows from the calculated values of the corrections that, due to the accuracy at present attainable in experimental measurements, the influence of the spectral profile in diffractions with an angle<80° can be neglected when calculating the theoretical values of the integrated intensities. The influence of diffraction broadening need not be taken into account in diffractions with an angle<83° even when the broadening is large (e. g. five-fold). As the angle approaches 90°, of eourse, the corrections for both above influences suddenly increase, particularly those for diffraction broadening, and their limitation becomes difficult and is not single-valued. For this reason the use of diffractions with angles>83° does not appear very suitable for solving problems based on exact measurement of the integrated intensities and their comparison with the corresponding theoretical values.

     

The distribution of neutron density in the vicinity of a partly inserted black rod in two-group approximation

The neutron density in the vicinity of a black cylindrical rod partly inserted in a bare reactor is calculated and illustrated by a numerical example. The starting point is a two-group diffusion theory approximation. While the dependence of the effect of the rod on the insertion depth can be calculated simply by means of perturbation theory, the question of the neutron density estimate in the vicinity of the rod is considerably more difficult and in some considerations the estimate of the neutron density caused by the presence of the rod is indispensable. The method makes it possible to determine the reactivity value of the rod in dependence on the insertion depth and especially the neutron density deformation in the vicinity of the rod.

The crystal structure of kettnerite,CaBi[OF¦CO3]

Macroscopic, microscopic, goniometric, qualitative spectrographic and quantitative chemical data of kettnerite [2] with some new observations are given. The unit cell dimensions determined from the powder and rotating crystal photographs area ₀=b ₀=5.36±0.02 Å,c ₀=13.59±0.03 Å. There are four molecules in the unit cell. The crystal structure of kettnerite was studied from the ordinary and generalized projections of the Patterson function along the [010] axis. Direct evidence of tetragonal layers (Ca. 2 F, Ca) and (Bi, 2 O, Bi) parallel to the basal face was found. The spatial arrangement of these layers corresponds to the symmetry of the space groupP 4/nmm. These layers alternate in the [001] direction being interleaved by single CO₃ layers. Both the biaxial character of the mineral and the uncertainty concerning the rotation of the CO₃ groups indicate a lower, most probably an orthorhombic symmetry. The highest possible symetry is that ofCmma. The structure is related to that of the typeX ₁ found by Sillén et al. for several bismuth oxyhalides and especially to that of bismutite.

Raman spectroscopy of macroscopic defects of GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Macroscopic defects of the GaAs surface grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been investigated by using a micro-probing method of Raman spectroscopy. Especially, the oval defects, the most common macroscopic defects in MBE GaAs, were focused in this study. In Raman spectroscopy for the oval defect on the (100)GaAs surface, TO phonon mode of the 269 cm^–1 peak was observed. This indicates that the oval defects can include the (111) growth direction or the amorphized surface. The TO/LO intensity ratios for the defects are in the range from 0.3 to 1.0. In the sample grown under the condition that the substrate temperature is 580° C with the As/Ga ratio of 20, the density of the oval defects is about 200 cm^–2 at a growth thickness of 5 m. With increasing thickness of the epilayer, the density and the size of the -tye oval defect increased, while the TO/LO ratio decreased. From the spatial measurement by Raman spectroscopy for the -type oval defect, it is supposed that the -type oval defect remains in a rather good crystalline state and its orientation along the (100) growth direction is much closer to the (111) direction, but the growth direction of the defect might tend toward the (100) direction with a thicker layer.     

p-adic Heisenberg group and Maslov index

A system of coordinates on a set of selfdual lattices in a two-dimensionalp-adic symplectic space (V,) is suggested. A unitary irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group of the space (V,) depending on a lattice (an analogue of the Cartier representation) is constructed and its properties are investigated. By the use of such representations for three different lattices one defines the Maslov index =(₁,₂,₃) of a triple of lattices. Properties of the index are investigated and values of in coordinates for different triples of lattices are calculated.

A contribution to the semi-focusing method with a flat polycrystalline sample

Condition are derived for the approximate focusing of diffraction lines in the chosen, relatively wide angular region, using the semi-focusing method with a flat sample, if a bent crystal monochromator is employed. The form of the absorption factor for a flat polycrystalline sample is derived for the case of uniform oscillation of the sample in the angular region ± around the axis of the camera.

Radiation losses in completely ionized plasma

The losses caused by bremsstahlung during electron-ion and electron-electron collisions in a completely ionized plasma (in Born's approximation) are calculated. The calculation can be carried out analytically for a sufficiently dilute plasma (plasma with infinitely large Debay-Hückel radius). This assumption is satisfied very well by the known classification to actual controlled thermonuclear reaction. A dependence of the formI=an ². (1+3/2), wherea=0·73×10^–16 MeV.cm³.sec^–1,n is the number of ions per cm³ and =kT/mc ², is determined for the amount of energy radiated from 1 cm³ of plasma per sec. In the relativistic temperature regionkTmc ² the influence of electron-electron collisions begins to predominate. A number of important results concerning radiation losses in relativistic plasma will be published in a later paper.

Cosmological surrealism: More than “eternal reality” is needed

Inflationary cosmology makes the universe eternal and provides for recurrent universe creation, ad infinitum — making it also plausible to assume that our Big Bang was also preceeded by others, etc.. However, GR tells us that in the parent universe's reference frame, the newborn universe's expansion will never start. Our picture of reality in spacetime has to be enlarged.Wolfson Distinguished Chair in Theoretical Physics.Also on leave from the University of Texas, Center for Particle Physics, Austin, Texas.

The quantum theory of multipole radiation in a dielectric

The potentials of an electromagnetic field of multipoles in a dielectric, which is realized by a dielectric sphere having a perfectly conducting surface, are derived. The diagonal values of the energy for thez component of the angular momentum and the square of the angular momentum of the field are determined and also the ratio between thez component of the angular momentum and the energy and the ratio between the square of the angular momentum and the square of the energy. It is shown that the total angular momentum can be divided in the usual way into orbital and spin parts but that these parts cannot be interpreted as the orbital and spin angular momentum because their eigenvalues cannot be the eigenvalues of any operator of infinitesimal rotation. In the commutation rules of a multipole field the vector character of the field is to a certain extent suppressed and the spin of the photon in a state with a certain value of the energy, parityz component of the angular momentum and the square of the angular momentum is not defined.
