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.

Magnetization coils without iron core for high field intensities

A new theory of rectangular coils without an iron core is described which amends the old one of Fabry and Bitter. It enables us to compute field intensities in coils having very small openings, which the old theory could not do.

МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ЭЛЕКТ РОННО-ОПТИЧЕСКИХ СИС ТЕМ С ОСЕВОЙ СИММЕТРИЕЙ П РИ ПОМОЩИ СЕТИ СОПРОТИВЛЕНИЙ

The paper explains the theory of modelling electrostatic fields by a resistance network. The conditions, which the resistance network must satisfy, are derived and the question of modelling electrodes of different shapes is solved. The finished network and the results obtained on it when modelling a jet for a linear h-f accelerator of electrons are described. Particular attention is paid to the influence of a space charge, the modelling of which is an advantage of this method.

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.

The crystal structure of meta-zeunerite Cu(UO2)2(AsO4)2⋅8 H2O

The structure of the mineral zeunerite (deposits at Rotava near Kraslice, Ore Mountains) was determined. The tetragonal unit cell, having the dimensionsa=7.10₅Å andc=17.70₄Å, contains two structure units of Cu(UO₂)₂(AsO₄)₂8H₂O. The space group isP4₂/nmc. The distribution of the atoms in the unit cell was determined from the Patterson projectionP(vw) and by means of (F ₀-F _c) synthesis. Meta-Zeunerite has a layer type structure. The sheets [(UO₂)(AsO₄)] are separated by layers containing the cations (Cu(H₂O)₄)²⁺ and molecules of water. The uranium is coordinated octahedrally with six oxygen atoms at distances: U-O₁ 1.94 Å, U-O₂ 1.78 Å, U-O₃₍₄₎ 2.18 Å (4×). The uranyl radical O₁-U-O₂ is linear. In the tetrahedron AsO₄ the interatomic distances are As-O 1.77 Å and the bond angles 102°, 102°, 113° and 113°. Each oxygen atom of the tetrahedron AsO₄ is simultaneously bonded to the uranium atom. The bond angle As-O-U is 137°. The layers [(UO₂)₂(AsO₄)] are bonded together by the cations (Cu(H₂O)₄)²⁺. The distances Cu-O₁ and Cu-O₂ are 2.55 and 2.58Å respectively. The structural changes during hydration and dehydration are explaned.

Homogenität,Kovarianz und Relativität

Zusammenfassung Es werden zwei Begriffe: Homogenität des Raumzeitkontinuums und Kovarianz der Gleichungen, wie sie in der Relativitätstheorie gebraucht werden, definiert und erläutert. Es wird gezeigt, doss die beiden Begriffe wesentlich verschieden sind und in Form nichtäquivalenter mathematischer Bedingungen ihren Ausdruck finden. Trotzdem werden beide Begriffe sowohl von Einstein, als auch in der Literatur über Relativitätstheorie mit einem und demselben Wort Relativität bezeichnet. Der Missgebrauch des Wortes Relativität bedeutet nicht nur einen terminologischen Fehler, sondern spricht auch von einem ungenügenden Verständnis der Grundidee der Relativitätstheorie, besonders der sog. allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie. Versteht man unter Relativität Homogenität des Raumes, so ist in der sog. allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie überhaupt keine Relativität vorhanden. Versteht man dagegen unter Relativität Kovarianz der Gleichungen, so steckt in jener Theorie nicht mehr Relativität, wie z. B. in den unrelativistischen Bewegungsgleichungen, welche ebensogut eine allgemein-kovariante Formulierung gestatten (Lagrangesche Gleichungen 2-ter Art). Die Bezeichnung allgemeine Relativitätstheorie ist daher irrefuhrend. Die geniale Theorie Einsteins ist eine reine Gravitationstheorie. , No 4, . 131, 1955.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Effect of the Λ n interaction on the cross section of the reaction γd → K+Λ n

Taking into account the n interaction, a nonrelativistic graphical technique is used to calculate the differential cross section of the reaction d K⁺ n as a function of photon energy, K⁺-momentum, and angle of emission of the K⁺. The kinematic region in which variation of the n-scattering parameters gives the most noticeable effect is separated out.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 104–106, August, 1978.The author thanks G.
