The surface layer on a ferromagnetic. The energy of some periodic domain structures

Explicit solutions are found for a number of special cases of the potential problem of periodic charge distribution. The effect of uneven distribution of the charges of a Bloch wall on the magnetostatic energy is studied, the effective width of the Bloch wall is determined, an analytical expression is found for this distribution of poles and finally the effective height of the surface layer is also determined. An expression is derived for the orientation of the vectors of magnetization in the surface layer with respect to the easy directions of magnetization. The stability of the basic domain structure up to an inclination of 6°of the plane under observation to the direction of easy magnetization and the dimensions of the domains in periodic closure structures follow from the calculations.

Rapid graphical determination of the radial intensity distribution of the small-angle scattering of X-rays from the measured data

The radially symmetrical small-angle scattering pattern (which would be obtained by the use of a direct beam having a point-like cross section) is in practice distorted, especially by the beam height. To eliminate this distortion the integration of a set of curves based on the derivative of the measured intensity distribution is required to derive the true radial intensity distribution. A rapid graphical method of plotting these curves is described and its accuracy is proved on an example. It is further shown that the radial intensity distribution can be determined in principle using the values of the measured curve instead of its derivative.

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.

Polarization of photo-luminescence of ZnS: Cu monocrystals

Different models of luminescence centres are discussed on the basis of measurements of the composition of ZnS monocrystal photo-luminescence in different polarizations and temperature dependence of the degree of polarization. Those of the models submitted by Birman, which assume the polarization to be due to the different force of the oscillators for transitions withEc andEc, or models assuming luminescence polarization to be due to the orientation of the luminescence centres, agree with the results of experiments, i.e. the temperature independence of the degree of polarization and the conformable spectral composition of both polarizations. It is also shown that measurements made up to now of the degree of polarization must be taken as orientational as a consequence of the depolarizing influence of the diffused rays of luminescence on its value.

Der Einfluss von Mikrosegregations-Substrukturen auf die Kritische Schubspannung und den Verfestigungskoeffizient von Zinkeinkristallen

Zusammenfassung Der Einflu\ von Mikrosegregations-Substrukturen auf das plastische Verhalten von Zinkeinkristallen entspricht den allgemeinen Erwartungen in der Weise, da\ die kritische Schubspannung mit wachsender Substrukturendichte zunimmt. Der Verfestigungskoeffizient _A nimmt hingegen mit wachsender Substrukturendichte ab. Dabei wird der Verfestigungskoeffizient vom Charakter der Substruktur viel empfindlicher beeinflu\t als die kritische Schubspannung. Es wird angenommen, da\ dieser Einflu\ durch unterschiedlichen Fremdstoffgehalt zustande kommt.

On the approximate formulation of the orthogonalized plane-wave method

An approximate method, analogical to the orthogonalized plane-wave method, is used to calculate the energy at a number of points in the Brillouin zone of lithium and the results are compared with the energy values calculated by the OPW method. Some of the general properties of the matrix elements of the repulsive potential are discussed and correlation with other methods carried out.

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.

Two-barrier detector

The paper describes the principle of a detector with two opposite surface barriers and the experimental verification of its functioning. The detector permits double the effective depth to be attained on the material with a given bias voltage. The principle of opposite barriers also permits a reduction in the system of dE/dx andE detectors to one detector.

Method of moments in analysis of x-ray diffraction lines

A general relation between the moments of the functionsf,g, andh, in the integral equationh(x)=f(y)g(x–y) dy, is derived. This enables any moment of the unknown functionf to be calculated from the moments of the functionsg andh. In particular, if certain assumptions are fulfilled, the moments of the components of the doublet can be calculated with advantage from the moments of the total profile. The statistical significance of the moment characteristics is also emphasized.

A remark on the third law of thermodynamics

It is shown that Falk's formulation of the third law of thermodynamics (when the energy has minimum value the entropy is also minimum) can be replaced by an equivalent assertion: the absolute minimum energy is unattainable with a finite number of processes.

Quantitative method for determination of fibre texture in wires I. Principle of method and analytical expression of absorption factor

An X-ray diffraction method is described for the quantitative determination of the fibre texture in cylindrical specimens (wires), which does not require specimen preparation. The integrated intensity of the diffracted radiation from a certain atomic plane is measured in the direction parallel to the plane determined by the axis of the wire and by the direct beam for different orientations of the axis of the wire. These measurements can be carried out in practice using an X-ray counter diffractometer or Weissenberg goniometer. The pole figure is determined from the dependence of the diffracted intensity on the orientation of the wire after correcting the intensities for the absorption of radiation in the specimen. The geometric arrangement enables the absorption factor to be calculated analytically. Its form was verified experimentally by measuring the dependence of the intensity of the 220 reflection on the orientation of the axis of a cylindrical specimen of Al containing randomly oriented crystals.

An attempt at a phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a polarizing field on piezoelectric resonators

The change in frequency of quartz piezoelectric resonators in a d-c electric polarizing field cannot be explained merely by a change in the dimensions of the resonator due to the polarizing field caused by the inverse piezoelectric effect and electrostriction. We are forced to admit that the elastic constants also change in a polarizing field. A phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a d-c electric polarizing field on the frequency of quartz resonators is proposed here, based on newly introduced quantities characterizing such a change. In conclusion it is shown in what way the quantities, on which the phenomenological theory is based, can be determined experimentally.
