A study of the influence of the asymmetry of the Kα1 X-ray emission line of cobalt and copper on accurate measurements of lattice parameters

By accurate measurements of the lattice parameter of aluminium, silver and gold by K ₁ radiation of copper and cobalt it is proved that the values determined by the radiation of cobalt are systematically lower than those determined by the radiation of copper. A semiquantitative analysis of the influence of spectral asymmetry on the determination of the parameter from X-ray diffraction lines is carried out and it is proved that this influence is defined not only by the index of asymmetry of the emission line but also by the broadening of the corresponding diffraction line. From this analysis it follows that the differences in the parameter measured when using radiation of cobalt and copper, can be explained by the influence of the spectral asymmetry of the emission lines K ₁ of these radiations.

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.

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 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.

Der Exzitonenzerfall im elektrostatischen Felde der Störstellen von Ionenkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es wird theoretisch der Prozeß des Exzitonenzerfalls mit Hilfe der Ionisation durch das elektrostatische Feld der Störstelle untersucht. Die Wirkungsquerschnitte werden in zwei Grenzfällen bestimmt: bei einer kleinen und einer großen mittleren freien Bahn des Exzitons, die durch dessen Wechselwirkung mit den Phononen bedingt ist. Die Ergebnisse werden zum Studium des Exzitonenzerfalls an einer Vakanz nach einem Kupferion in Cu₂O-Kristallen mit einem stöchiometrischen Sauerstoffüberschuß verwendet.

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.

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.

Some applications of the discrete fourier transform to problems of crystal lattice deformation I

The theory of the discrete Fourier transform [1], [2] is applied in solving a system of difference equations describing the positions of atoms in a deformed crystal lattice. The crystal lattice is approximated by the Born-Kármán model modified to include the internal energy of the undeformed crystal.
