Kinetics of the crystallization of barium chromate

Summary The kinetics of the crystallization of barium chromate have been studied conductometrically at 298 K for both spontaneous and seeded growth systems. The rate of growth follows a quadratic dependence upon the relative supersaturation which suggests a surface-controlled growth mechanism. This rate equation holds fairly well for the various supersaturation and solid/solution ratios used. The presence of seeds in the solution appears to accelerate the growth rate. Analysis of the calculated induction times in unseeded systems corroborates the surface-controlled growth mechanism. The effect of some additives on the kinetics of growth has also been studied. The retarding effect of these inhibitors is interpreted in terms of adsorption of inhibitor ions at the active crystal growth sites.Dedicated to the memory of ProfessorE. N.

The essentially tame local Langlands correspondence, I

Let be a non-Archimedean local field (of characteristic or ) with finite residue field of characteristic . An irreducible smooth representation of the Weil group of is called essentially tame if its restriction to wild inertia is a sum of characters. The set of isomorphism classes of irreducible, essentially tame representations of dimension is denoted . The Langlands correspondence induces a bijection of with a certain set of irreducible supercuspidal representations of . We consider the set of isomorphism classes of certain pairs , called ``admissible', consisting of a tamely ramified field extension of degree and a quasicharacter of . There is an obvious bijection of with . Using the classification of supercuspidal representations and tame lifting, we construct directly a canonical bijection of with , generalizing and simplifying a construction of Howe (1977). Together, these maps give a canonical bijection of with . We show that one obtains the Langlands correspondence by composing the map with a permutation of of the form , where is a tamely ramified character of depending on . This answers a question of Moy (1986). We calculate the character in the case where is totally ramified of odd degree.

     

Generalized Symmetric Polynomials and an Approximate De Finetti Representation

For probability measures on product spaces which are symmetric under permutations of coordinates, we study the rate of approximation by mixtures of product measures.     

Magnetization of an electron plasma by microwave pulses: Faraday induction

It has been argued theoretically that the recently proposed vacuum fieldB ⁽³⁾ is not accompanied by a real electric fieldE ⁽³⁾ . Experimental evidence for this interence is available in the data reported by Deschampset al. [10], using microwave magnetization of an electron plasma set up in helium gas. Faraday induction due toB ⁽³⁾ does not occur in the inert gas and is not observed experimentally in the absence of free electrons. WheneverB ⁽³⁾ interacts with free electrons, however, Faraday induction occurs through a pulse of induced magnetization (i.e., induced orbital electronic angular momentum).

神龙一号轫致辐射靶靶区回流离子测量

神龙一号直线感应加速器(LIA)产生的强流高功率的脉冲电子束与X光转换靶作用后可以产生高剂量的X光,同时由于转换靶的被烧蚀破坏在靶面产生回流离子,该回流离子的存在影响到电子束的聚焦。设计了4套法拉第筒及其对应的偏压电路,法拉第筒被放置在神龙一号X光转换靶上游不同位置,分布在电子束轴线两侧,电路设计最高偏压为1 kV;对神龙一号LIA的X光转换靶面产生的回流离子进行了实验测量,分别得到回流正离子密度约在1021/m3,离子运动速度可达2～3 mm/s。计算比较表明,该离子流强度与神龙一号靶前电子束流相差很大,只有电子束流强的0.27%,对神龙一号电子束聚焦不会造成影响。

感应电压叠加器模块对方波脉冲的响应

为了解感应电压叠加器(IVA)对馈入脉冲的响应特性,尤其对上升前沿、平顶的影响,从理论和实验两个方面对IVA模块进行了研究。介绍了IVA的工作原理,利用集总参数方法建立了相应的电路模型,通过拉普拉斯变换分析了感应电压叠加器对方波脉冲上升前沿和平顶的响应,并在一个特定的IVA模块上进行了实验研究。选择输出阻抗约1.2Ω、脉宽约1μs的脉冲形成网络作为馈源,在匹配负载上得到的波形与输入波形在幅值、上升前沿方面达到了很好的吻合,平顶出现略微的顶降,与理论预期相一致。
