Evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters for association process of hydrogen bond complexes from the dielectric relaxation measurements.

A relation between the free energy for dipole relaxation process and that for the association process has been proposed. Using this relation, an equation has been defined for evaluating the association equilibrium constant from the dielectric relaxation measurements. These equations have been applied to study the association of dimethyl sulphoxide and p-tolyl sulphoxide with proton donors (phenol and O-cresol) in an inert solvent carbon-tetra-chloride in the temperature range 298–322K. The calculation of the association equilibrium constant and hence the thermodynamic parameters have shown the wide scope, the proposed relations can be put to in the study of the association process of hydrogen bond complexes.     

Electron and plasma stream reflection at a nonadiabatic mirror

Experimental investigations of the phenomena occurring when low density electron and plasma beams are injected into a nonadiabatic magnetic mirror are presented. Effects of nonadiabaticity and mirror ratio on the reflectivity of the magnetic mirror are measured. Transition of the mirror from adiabatic to strongly nonadiabatic results in setting up of a potential barrier which enhances the reflectivity.     

Transfer of charge in liquid alloys

Hard sphere diameters of liquid alkali metal alloys (Na-Cs and K-Rb) are calculated at 373 K ensuring the minimum Helmholtz free energy of the system. These diameters are then used to fix the packing density of the alloy. On alloying, the hard sphere diameters of Na in Na-Cs and K in K-Rb alloys expand whereas those of Cs and Rb contract.     

Interpolation by almost quartic splines

In this paper we define a new class of quartic splines of classC ² and solve the problem of (0, 2) interpolation by the elements of this class. We also study the possibility of the solution of the problems of (0, 1) and (1, 2) interpolations by the elements of the same class. Error estimates are obtained in each case.     

Neutral current effects in the parity violating nuclear force

The measurements of the ΔI = 1 part of the parity violating nuclear force when combined with information on neutral current couplings from neutrino scattering and pion production experiments allow an estimate of the isoscalar admixture in the neutral current if it has a vector axial-vector structure has been shown.     

Multiple penetrating particles with narrow separation associated with extensive air showers (EAS)

An experiment has been carried out at a vertical depth of 580 m.w.e. at Kolar Gold Fields, to investigate various characteristics of energetic muons (E _mln ⋍ 150 GeV) associated with extensive air showers (EAS). Double parallel penetrating particles with narrow separations (<1m) have an exponential decoherence distribution withe-folding separation of ⋍ 25 cm.     

Relations between generalised Hankel and modified Hypergeometric function operators

The object of the present note is to investigate the relations that exist between the generalized Hankel and Hypergeometric function operators. The results established here can be used in the theory of Integral equations also. This is illustrated by means of an example. The results established in this paper are of general character and includes, as particular cases, the results of Sneddon and Kalla and Saxena.     

On the summation of the Brillouin-Wigner type perturbation series

It is shown that if the ‘mean excitation energy’ assumption is introduced in the Brillouin-Wigner perturbation series, then the resulting series can be exactly summed. The implications of the result for calculating energy shift and for constructing trial functions are examined with special reference to the ground state of the helium atom.     

Trends in atomic spin—orbit splittings,energy gaps,and ionicities of AIIIBV intermetallic semiconductors

Atomic spin—orbit splittings of the valence band at k = 0 deduced from spectroscopic experimental data are used to describe the electronic properties of the tetrahedrally coordinated compound semiconductors. Empirical relations for the energy gap and ionicity have been proposed. The calculated values for III–V semiconductors are in fair agreement with experimental results.
