Structural state of Cu-Be-Ag alloys in the process of decomposition of solid solution

Investigation of aging Cu-1.5% Be-2% Ag and Cu-1% Be-4% Ag alloys was carried out in this study by the methods of x-ray analysis of monocrystals, and electron microscopy. In the aging process at 218, 300, and 450C, laminar zones of Guinier-Preston, enriched with beryllium and silver atoms were formed. Entry of silver into the zones widens the upper temperature interval of the zone stage to 450C. With the increase of annealing time the metastable-phase was precipitated. The crystals of -phase are precipitated with orientation in the direction (100) in consequence of interactions of the fields of elastic stresses occurring around -precipitations, and periodic structure is formed in the alloy. The stable phase-CuBe and Ag was precipitated in the Cu-1% Be-4% Ag-alloy.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 21–25, August, 1972.     

Evaluation of positron annihilation angular correlation curves and line profiles of compton scattering in noble metals

Angular correlation curveN () as well as the Compton line profile I() of Cu, Ag, Au and Pt have been calculated by the assumption, that the coincidence counting rate and Compton line shift intensity are proportional to the area of cuts through the body defined by the Fermi surface. Parametrical expression of the Fermi surface were employed and the results were used to fit some measured curves on Cu, Ag and Au.The authors are indebted to Prof. P.Ry and Dr. I.Volf for enabling the work, Dr. A. íek for supplying the experimental data for Au, Ag and Cu and J. Sedláek for assistance by programming of numerical evaluations.     

The classical theory of nuclear spin interaction in a ferromagnet

The Hamiltonian of nuclear spin interaction in a ferromagnet is derived by the classical method, which introduces the precession of nuclear spin into the equation of motion for magnetization. From this it is shown that the interaction Hamiltonian also depends on the magnitude and sign of nuclear precession frequency _N and the damping constant of ferromagnetic resonance A. The calculation of these parameters makes the Suhl [1] quantum mechanical derivation of the Hamiltonian of nuclear spin interaction in a ferromagnet more accurate. The influence of these parameters on the relaxation timeT ₂ is also discussed and is applied to the case of cubic cobalt.

Ferromagnetic resonance in thin cobalt films

The paper gives the results of measuring ferromagnetic resonance on thin cobalt films, vacuum deposited on unheated glass slides. The values of the (g-factor, the width of the curve, the effective stress and uniaxial induced anisotropy were determined as a function of the thickness of the film from measurements of the ferromagnetic absorption in a magnetic field normal and parallel to the surface of the film. Measurements were carried out on a frequency of 9200 MHz and on film thicknesses of 180 to 1800 Å. A qualitative explanation of the observed dependences is given.

Luminescence of AgCl crystals

The luminescence of normal and deformed single crystals of AgCl of different thickness was measured at a temperature of –180°C. With deformed samples the decrease in intensity of the luminescence was measured. On the luminescence band of the above crystals we observed a fine structure for which the series rule could be used (edge of series =4640 Å, =5080 Å).The observed luminescence was explained by means of the exciton mechanism proposed by Matyá, i.e. annihilation of a localized exciton either on a cation vacancy or on a cation vacancy on a dislocation jog. The luminescence yield at –183°C, =1.6×10^–3%±10%, was measured by a photographic method.

     

Atomic in-plane disorder in Co/Pt superlattices

We have studied 111 and 001 oriented Co(3 Å)/Pt(18 Å) superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy via X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The diffraction peak shapes, for the scattering vector Q parallel to the film planes, were found to be characteristically different between these two films. For the 111 oriented sample, this broadening is characterized by a Lorentzian peak shape with a positional correlation length of the order of 50 Å. The data further indicate that the atomic correlation in the 111 sample has a long range orientational but only short range positional order.     

An analytical study of the dielectric relaxation mechanism in crystals with polar molecules

The kinetic equations for motion of polar vacancies, the dipole moments of which are numerically equal to the moment of a molecule in an electric field, are derived and studied. The polarization process is explained through orientation of the polar vacancies. A formula for the dielectric loss angle as a function of the frequency spectrum of external fields and temperature is derived, and using this formula calculations are performed for crystals.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, No. 3, pp. 51–58, March, 1972.     

The Crystallography of Interphase Boundaries Between Silicon Carbide and Silicon Nitride in Silicon Nitride—Silicon Carbide Particulate Composites

Interphase boundaries between 3C SiC grains and two different -Si₃N₄ morphologies in Si₃N₄–SiC composites have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. In general, boundaries between small -Si₃N₄ intragranular precipitates and surrounding SiC grains were relatively free of intergranular films, whereas boundaries between large -Si₃N₄ grains and adjacent SiC grains were invariably covered with thin intergranular films. Orientation relationships approximating to [110] 3C SiC [0001] -Si₃N₄ and (001) 3C SiC (10 0) -Si₃N₄ were found to dominate between 3C SiC grains and the intragranular -Si₃N₄ precipitates, but there was no evidence of any favoured orientation relationship between the large -Si₃N₄ grains and adjacent SiC grains. The rationale for special orientation relationships arising when there is no intergranular film present at 3C SiC–-Si₃N₄ interfaces is explored geometrically using the near-coincidence site lattice model, with the significant result that the dominant orientation relationships between 3C SiC grains and the intragranular -Si₃N₄ precipitates have low misfits relative to all other possible orientation relationships between 3C SiC and -Si₃N₄.     

The influence of successive asymmetrical magnetization reversal on the magnetic state of open samples

A study is made of the influence of successive asymmetrical magnetization reversal on the magnetic state of open samples, where the macroscopic demagnetization field has a significant effect during magnetization reversal and leads to a sort of rotation of the asymmetrical loops performed one after another. This effect is similar to reptation, which was studied experimentally by Nguyen van Dang [1–4] and theoretically explained by Néel [5, 6]. The quantitative expression of the rotation of asymmetrical loops in open samples as a function of the number of loops and amplitude of the disymmetry is similar to that with the reptation effect.

On the yellow colouring of lithium fluoride crystals

The paper deals with the causes of the yellow colouring of LiF crystals. In accordance with some other writers the authors arrived at the conclusion that colouring is caused by impurities. Selective absorption in the infra-red region at 2·8 is independent of this colouring. Analytical data were supplemented by crystal growing experiments in which defined admixtures of heavy metals, such as Co, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Pt, Cu, were added to the melt. It is shown that, of the admixtures used, the most intense colouring is produced by manganese. Experiments on the effect of Cu and Pt were not entirely conclusive. In vacuum colour-producing impurities evaporate quite easily from the melt until their concentration drops below the critical limit required for colouring; in air this happens only if the charge is left in the melted state for a longer period (in our case a 1 kg charge was kept at 100°C above melting point for 36 hours). Results are improved if a dried gas, for instance nitrogen, is bubbled through the meit. A colourless crystal can be obtained in this manner even without using a vacuum; the starting material, however, must be sufficiently pure. A new method was worked out for preparing the salt by direct precipitation of LiCl and HF. Heavy metals are removed from the lithium component by means of cupral and dithizone. The construction of the apparatus used for the crystal growing experients in vacuum differs from that described in the appropriate literature.

Mössbauer hyperfine interactions in thermally treated iron-yttrium oxide systems

Iron-yttrium mixed oxides in varying ratios (YFe 91, 31, 11, 12, 13, and 19) annealed to different temperatures (850, 1000 and 1250 C) have been investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy down to 85 K. The Mössbauer spectra are complex in nature, showing up to three magnetically split hyperfine patterns in iron-rich (Y Fe 11, 12, 13 and 19) samples; these three components are attributed to characteristic YFeO₃, Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ and hematite. The yttrium-rich samples (YFe 91, 31) show only one six-line spectrum of YFeO₃.     

The temperature dependence of the refractive index of germanium

The temperature dependence of the refractive index of germanium in a wave-length region of 1·8–5·5 and temperature region of 100–530 °K is given for three samples of single crystal germanium having different concentrations of impurities. The temperature dependence of the refractive index is non-linear. Our results are compared with those of other authors. An attempt is also made to theoretically interpret the observed dependence.

The propagation of excitation energy in perturbed crystals

The process of the propagation of excitation energy in perturbed dielectric crystals with a weak bond between the atoms having zero permanent dipole moment is studied. It is shown that on certain assumptions this process of propagation can be regarded as the motion of a Frenkel exciton in the electrostatic field of the defect. Frenkel's exciton can be characterized in this case as a neutral polarizable particle having induced dipole moment equal to the change in the induced dipole moment of the crystal during the excitation of one of its atoms.

Differential algebras for quantum groups of type B, C, and D

We study higher order bicovariant differential calculi on the quantum groups O_q(N) and Sp _q (N). We show that the second antisymmetrizer exterior algebra _u is the quotient of the universal exterior algebra _u by the principal ideal generated by . Here denotes the unique up to scalars biinvariant 1-form. Moreover is central in _u and _u is an inner differential calculus. We show that the quadratic dual to the left-invariant algebra _{s L} is isomorphic to the reflection equation algebra. Let be an arbitrary left-covariant first order differential calculus. We show that the dimension of the space of left-invariant 2-forms in the universal exterior algebra equals the number of linearly independent quadratic-linear relations in the quantum tangent space.     

Optical constants of thin germanium films

The paper gives the values of the optical constants of thin films of germanium obtained by evaporating germanium in a vacuum onto glass slides in the region of 0·35–0·78 for an index of absorptionk and 0·35–2·5 for refractive indexn. The results are compared with the values obtained by other authors and with the values ofn andk for single crystals. It is shown that these values for thin films and single crystals slightly differ quantitatively but agree fairly well qualitatively, which had not been sufficiently the case in previous papers.

Influence of ageing on change in electrical properties of semiconducting systems of Bi₂Te₃-Bi₂Se₃

The paper describes the effect of ageing observed on a semiconducting system Bi₂Te₃ — Bi₂Se₃. It is shown that the change in electrical conductivity and thermoelectric force, which takes place during ageing, is caused by the change in concentration of the free electrons. The influence of this process on the efficiency of equipment employing the Peltier effect is analyzed.
