Choice of parameters of an X-ray monochromating unit

In recent papers a way of computing the monochromated wavelength distribution in some current experimental arrangements was presented. In this paper an application is shown for the Johansson monochromating unit. The conditions are indicated for attaining the desired breadth of the monochromated interval and for its maximum intensity. The analysis implies that it is not advantageous to use very narrow foci and that the crystals should be neither very perfect nor very imperfect. The optimum conditions must be found in each case separately.

On the electroluminescence of powdered zinc sulphide layers

The experimental study of the dependence of the electroluminescence brightness on the voltage confirms the correctness of the mechanism of electroluminescence, based on impact ionization in parts of the crystal where the electric field is concentrated. A study of the photoluminescent and electroluminescent spectra of phosphors containing two activators (copper and an element of rare earth) permits the determination of the magnitude of the volume of the crystal in which electroluminescence occurs. A study of the influence of the stored light sum on the brightness of electroluminescence and a study of the rate of growth of the variable and constant components of electroluminescence point to the fact that the excitation is transferred from the region of field concentration to the whole volume of the crystal.

Bunching phenomena during electron injection into the betatron

Under favourable conditions electrons injected into the betatron give rise to high-frequency oscillations. An experimental investigation of the properties of the oscillations is presented, in which new experimental material is added to an earlier paper [1] and the hypothesis regarding the nature of the oscillations is corrected.The oscillations are due to azimuthal bunching of the injected or captured electrons. The bunching is caused by a regenerative amplification of space-charge density fluctuations. The amplification is produced by the negative mass instability mechanism theoretically investigated by Nielsen, Sessler and Symon [2] and Kolomenskij and Lebedev [3].Bunching of the injected electrons is the primary cause of the capture of electrons injected into a static or slowly varying magnetic field. Bunching of the captured electrons represents a limitation in the magnitude of the capturable charge.

The semi-conducting properties of CdSnAs2

The paper gives the results of measuring the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity(T), the Hall coefficientR _H (T) and the magnetic susceptibility(T) forn-type CdSnAs₂. The effective mass of the electrons was determined by analysis of the measured dependences on the basis of the simple theory for an isotropic non-degenerate semi-conductor. It was found to bem _n /m ₀=2×10^–2 in the intrinsic region and does not depend on the temperature; the energy gap ise _g ⁰=0·26 eV and the molar susceptibility of the CdSnAs₂ lattice _G ^mol=–112× ×10^–6. The mobility of the electrons in the intrinsic region reaches a value of _n =25 000 cm²V^–1sec^–1 at 500°K and decreases exponentially _n T ^–1.67 with rising temperature. The density of CdSnAs₂ was determined pyknometrically,g9=5·35 g cm^–3. The measurements were made on ann-type polycrystalline sample consisting of crystals a few millimetres in diameter, which at a temperature of 100°K had a free electron concentration ofn _s =6×10¹⁶ cm^–3.

Experimentelle Untersuchungen über das Verteilungsgesetz der Ferromagnetischen Bereiche nach dem Kriterium der Koerzitivkraft

Zusammenfassung Aus Messungen der inneren Reibung in magnetischen Feldern, die durch das Überlagern eines magnetischen Wechselfeldes über ein magnetisches Gleichfeld zustande gekommen sind, werden Schlußfolgerungen gezogen über die Art, wie sich die Verteilung der ferromagnetischen Bereiche nach dem Standpunkt der Koerzitivkraft im Magnetisierungsprozeß in einem magnetischen Gleichfeld verändert. Aus Messungen der inneren Reibung in magnetischen Wechselfeldern mit gleicher Amplitude aber verschiedenen Frequenzen wird die Schlußfolgerung gezogen, daß die Wände jener Bereiche, welche verschiedene Koerzitivkräfte haben, erzwungene Schwingungen mit verschiedener Geschwindigkeit aufweisen.

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.

Determination of accuracy in measuring the parameters of tetragonal and hexagonal lattices

The procedure for determining the accuracy when measuring the parameters of tetragonal and hexagonal lattices is described. The accuracy can easily be calculated for all common methods by means of graphically represented functions. The relations derived can be used as quantitative criteria for the suitability of the combination of lines from which the lattice parameters are to be determined.

The connection between low-gradient form of the positive column in oxygen and moving striations

The method of sliding photomultipliers was used to study the connection between two forms of the positive column in oxygen — the so-called low-gradientT-form and the highgradientH-form — and the presence of moving striations in the positive column. It was shown that in theT-form of a positive column striations are always present which move from the cathode to anode with a velocity of several thousand metres/sec. The highgradient form of theH-positive column, on the other hand, is not striated. The non-single-valuedness of the value of the longitudinal electric field in a discharge in oxygen is thus explained by the presence or absence of phenomena of a time variable character.

The local sensitivity of photo-multiplier photo-cathodes

The influence of the non-uniform distribution of the sensitivity of a photo-multiplier photo-cathode on the spectrum shape of the output pulses from a scintillation detector is studied. Methods of scanning the local sensitivity and determining its distribution function are described. The theory was compared qualitatively with measurement on a slow-neutron detector from a mixture of zinc sulphate and boric acid.

The influence of a strong high-frequency field on the stratification of the positive column of a D-C glow discharge

An experimental study is made of the damping of moving striations in a d-c glow discharge by a strong high-frequency field. The results of measurement are in agreement with existing conceptions on the production and mechanism of propagation of moving striations. Apart from the process of damping the paper also describes the standing stratification of the positive column of a d-c discharge as a result of a superposed high-frequency discharge.

On the problem of the permittivity dispersion of barium titanate

The complex permittivity of multidomain single crystals of BaTiO₃ was measured in the decimetre and centimetre wave bands and it was proved that in this frequency region there is dispersion of the permittivity. Apparatus for measuring the permittivity of substances with a high is described and the influence of the inhomogeneity of the field in the sample on the characteristics of the cavity resonator is calculated. Present theories of the high-frequency properties of BaTiO₃ are discussed from the point of view of the experimental results.
