Spatial period of moving striations as function of electric field strength in glow discharge

During a systematic investigation of the parameters of a moving stratification in a glow discharge in helium and neon it was found that the spatial period of the striations is a simple, unique function of the d-c (constant) component of the longitudinal electric field strengthE. It was found that this dependence is hyperbolic and that the simple relation (1) or (2) thus holds. In the relation has the significance of a potential fall between the corresponding points of two neighbouring striations and in the measured range of pressures, currents and diameters of discharge tubes it depends only on the sort of gas and type of striations.

The distribution of neutron density in the vicinity of a partly inserted black rod in two-group approximation

The neutron density in the vicinity of a black cylindrical rod partly inserted in a bare reactor is calculated and illustrated by a numerical example. The starting point is a two-group diffusion theory approximation. While the dependence of the effect of the rod on the insertion depth can be calculated simply by means of perturbation theory, the question of the neutron density estimate in the vicinity of the rod is considerably more difficult and in some considerations the estimate of the neutron density caused by the presence of the rod is indispensable. The method makes it possible to determine the reactivity value of the rod in dependence on the insertion depth and especially the neutron density deformation in the vicinity of the rod.

The electroluminescence op ZnS-Cu single crystals excited with pulses of alternating polarity

The brightness waves of electroluminescence of ZnS—Cu were measured for the case of excitation with rectangular pulses as a function of the amplitude of the pulses and the temperature. A concrete model is proposed for electronic processes in barriers in ZnS crystals, the consequences of which for the decay of electroluminescence are in agreement with measurements.

On the relation between the thickness dependence of optical absorption and the surface layers of barium titanate single crystals

Single crystals of BaTiO₃, prepared by crystallization in the system BaCl₂-BaO-BaTiO₃-show a dependence of the optical absorption coefficient on the sample thickness. The observed thickness dependence of the absorption coefficient can be explained by the existence of a surface layer with optical properties differing from those of the inner part of the crystal. By means of an etching method a direct determination of the thickness of the surface layer of crystals in the thickness range of 0.075 to 0.178 mm was carried out. The value found is (6.0±0.2)×10^-4 cm.

On the ferromagnetism of thin films

In this paper the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic thin layers are studied by calculating the partition function for the magnetic system inKirkwood's approximation of the second order. The results obtained for the Curie temperature and the magnetization are in somewhat better agreement with the experiment than those obtained by Valenta.

A contribution to the semi-focusing method with a flat polycrystalline sample

Condition are derived for the approximate focusing of diffraction lines in the chosen, relatively wide angular region, using the semi-focusing method with a flat sample, if a bent crystal monochromator is employed. The form of the absorption factor for a flat polycrystalline sample is derived for the case of uniform oscillation of the sample in the angular region ± around the axis of the camera.

The quantum efficiency of the internal photo-electric effect in indium antimonide

A method is described for measuring the relative quantum efficiency of the internal photo-electric effect in semi-conductors by simultaneously measuring the photo-magnetoelectric and photo-conductive effect. The results of measurements on indium antimonide are given. The quantum efficiency begins to increase if the energy of the photon exceeds 0·47 eVat room temperature. The quantum efficiency as a function of the energy of the photon is analysed on the basis of the conception of impact ionization and it is shown that a study of the structure of this curve can supply information on the, band structure of a semi-conductor in the region of high energies of electrons and holes.

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.

The basic equations of the dynamics of the continuous distribution of dislocations II. Interpretation of general theory

The basic equations of the dynamics of the continuous distribution of dislocations analogical to Maxwell equations are derived in a series of papers [I, II, III]. The analogy of the elastic and electromagnetic fields is analyzed. In part [II] a physical interpretation is given of the tensors of stress and distortion and expressions are considered for the energy density of the elastic field of the dislocations. The basic equations are generalized for the case of a non-zero Poisson ratio and a finite body. A detailed interpretation is given of the tensor components of dislocation current density.

A contribution to the theory of the triple crystal diffractometer

The first part of the paper gives a general equation for triple-crystal arrangement with perfect crystals on the assumption that the third crystal is rotated. It is shown that in the case of perfect crystals the shape of the reflection curve is practically independent of the vertical divergence. The case of mosaic crystals is also solved and the possibility of rotation by other than the third crystal is considered. A method is proposed for investigating the imperfection of a crystal which is different from methods used up to now. The paper is supplemented by some experimental results.

Die Integralbeziehungen bei der stationären laminaren Strömung mit geschlossenen Stromlinien in annähernd kreisförmigen Gebieten

Zusammenfassung Für die statioäre lineare ebene Strömung mit geschlossenen Stromlinien bei einer großen Reynoldsschen Zahl in annähernd kreisförmigen Gebieten werden zwei Integralbeziehungen (5) und (9) abgeleitet. Nach der ersten von diesen ist das Integral der Reibungskraft entlang der Grenze des Strömungsgebiets direkt proportional der Länge dieser Grenze und der Größe der Rotation der Geschwindigkeit im Kern der Strömung. Aus der zweiten Beziehung geht hervor: Das Volumen der in der Zeiteinheit den Schnitt der Rezirkulationsgrenzschicht durchfließenden Flüssigkeit ist direkt proportional dem Integral entlang der Gebietsgrenze aus der Differenz der Quadrate der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit an der Grenze des Kerns und der Geschwindigkeit an der Gebietsgrenze und umgekehrt proportional der Größe der Geschwindigkeitsrotation im Kern und der Länge der Gebietsgrenze.

The quantum theory of multipole radiation in a dielectric

The potentials of an electromagnetic field of multipoles in a dielectric, which is realized by a dielectric sphere having a perfectly conducting surface, are derived. The diagonal values of the energy for thez component of the angular momentum and the square of the angular momentum of the field are determined and also the ratio between thez component of the angular momentum and the energy and the ratio between the square of the angular momentum and the square of the energy. It is shown that the total angular momentum can be divided in the usual way into orbital and spin parts but that these parts cannot be interpreted as the orbital and spin angular momentum because their eigenvalues cannot be the eigenvalues of any operator of infinitesimal rotation. In the commutation rules of a multipole field the vector character of the field is to a certain extent suppressed and the spin of the photon in a state with a certain value of the energy, parityz component of the angular momentum and the square of the angular momentum is not defined.
