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.

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.

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.

Photo-luminescence and growth defects in ZnS: Cu monocrystals

The paper describes microscopic investigation into the spectral distribution of photo-luminescence and its polarization on hexagonal ZnS monocrystals in relation to the structural defects of such crystals. These observations, as well as birefringent observations, show that the values of the birefringence and the degree of polarization in different stripes of the same crystal are the same within the limits of observational errors.

Electron microscope study of dislocations in slip bands of bent Fe-3·2% Si alloy single crystals

Dislocations in Fe-3·2% Si alloy single crystals deformed by bending are studied in this paper. The specimens were cut parallel to the slip plane into platelets, polished, and studied in places at various distances from the neutral plane with an electron microscope. A large number of jogs of various sizes was found on screw dislocations. Many loops are formed by the motion of dislocations with jogs and by the stopping of moving dislocations by obstacles. Some of them grow as a result of stress. The activity of sources on large jogs is stopped at an early stage by a cross slip. The formation and growth of loops increases the dislocation density and causes the growth of slip bands.

Elastic stress around linear dislocation in anisotropic medium

Relations are derived for the elastic stress field around a linear dislocation in an infinite medium with general anisotropy. The strongly deformed material around the core of the dislocation is cut out in the shape of an elliptic cylinder. The conditions of a free surface are used on the boundary thus formed. The calculation of the field around a crack in a crystal, the model of which was proposed by Fujita in [9], is given as an example.

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.

The influence of oscillations on ionization in a discharge path

The paper solves the problem of gas ionization in a discharge path in a very dilute gas, where the free path of the electrons is much larger than the dimensions of the path and the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes is of the order of the period of the applied h-f voltage. It was found that for a certain ratio of the transit time of the electrons between the electrodes in the discharge path to the period of the h-f oscillation, resonance occurs when the wattless current component is zero. The electron density rises in the path and thus also the gas ionization.

The motion of 90° wedge domains in BaTiO3 in an alternating electric field

The paper deals with the motion of 90° wedge domains in BaTiO₃ in an alternating field of 50 c/s. The critical field, the positional hysteresis loops with double asymmetry, the production of wedges with polarization perpendicular to the field and 180° substructure in the wedges were studied. The differences between the behaviour of the wedges and the individual 90° walls are pointed out which are caused by differences in the energy balance of these formations and by different interactions with 180° processes. The upper limit of contribution of the wedge motion to the initial permittivity is estimated. The results are discussed from the phenomenological point of view.

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.

Change in primary extinction during decomposition of supersaturated solid solution II. Al-Cu 4% alloy-formation of G.P. zones

The change in integrated intensity of the (200) reflections of a solid solution during the formation of G.P. zones was measured and compared with the change in the character of the diffuse streaks corresponding to them. It was found that the. formation of G.P. zones does not lead to a decrease in primary extinction despite the great changes in the distribution of the copper atoms. It was shown that the formation of a precipitate accompanied by the formation of crystallographically incoherent boundaries greatly decreases the primary extinction.

The use of the repulsive potential in the quantum theory of solids

A new method is proposed for calculating the energy in certain special points of the Brillouin zone. The wave functions of valence and conduction electrons are given in the form of the linear combination of plane waves and the orthogonality condition of these functions to the wave functions of lower states is replaced by the repulsive potential. The practical application of this very simple method is illustrated on the energy spectrum of silicon in the centre of the Brillouin zone. It is proved that the results are comparable with some other methods, e. g. the orthogonalized plane-wave method.

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.

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.
