Influence of Coriolis coupling on inelastic scattering of deuterons

Influence of Coriolis coupling on excitation of some Nilsson states in¹⁵⁵Gd,¹⁵⁷Gd and¹⁶⁷Er by inelastic scattering of 12·1 MeV deuterons is analysed. Expanded Nilsson potential with hexadecapolar deformation is used for the model calculations. Theoretical values of reduced transition probability,B(E2) are compared with experimental ones.     

Plasma acceleration in a wave with varying frequency

The averaged velocity of a test particle and the averaged velocity of a plasma in an electro-magnetic wave packet with varying frequency (e.g., a radiation pulse from pulsar) is derived. The total momentum left by the wave packet in regions of plasma inhomogeneity is found. If the plasma concentration is changing due to ionization, the plasma may be accelerated parallelly or antiparallelly to the direction of the wave packet propagation, which is relevant for a laser induced breakdown in gas.The author thanks R.Klíma for numerous discussions.

The connection between low-gradient form of the positive column in oxygen and moving striations

The method of sliding photomultipliers was used to study the connection between two forms of the positive column in oxygen — the so-called low-gradientT-form and the highgradientH-form — and the presence of moving striations in the positive column. It was shown that in theT-form of a positive column striations are always present which move from the cathode to anode with a velocity of several thousand metres/sec. The highgradient form of theH-positive column, on the other hand, is not striated. The non-single-valuedness of the value of the longitudinal electric field in a discharge in oxygen is thus explained by the presence or absence of phenomena of a time variable character.

The Gelfand-Levitan equation and its application to the scattering of neutrons on protons

The Gelfand-Levitan equation for the kernelP(r, r) (withrr) is formulated and then applied for determining the scattering potential in the scattering of slow neutrons on protons (for the case when the dependence of the nuclear forces on the spins can be neglected and onlys-scattering need be considered). The potentials obtained are the same as the Bargmann ones, found by a different method.

Dislocations in plastically deformed Fe-3% Si alloy single crystals

The plastic deformation of Fe-3%Si alloy single crystals made from the melt is studied by the method of etching of dislocations. At a room-temperature and at static stress deformation by slip occurs in the 1/2〈111〉 directions along planes of maximum resolved shear stress. The plastic properties are determined by the motion of screw dislocations which cause the broadening of slip bands.

Influence of oxygen content on electric and thermoelectric properties of ternary system Bi₂Te_3–x Se _x

A study is made of the influence of oxygen, contained in the semi-conducting system Bi₂Te_3–x Sé _x , on the electric and thermoelectric properties. It is shown that the addition of oxygen to the prepared samples Bi₂Te_2.4Se_0.6 causes a decrease in electric conductivity while the thermoelectric force remains unchanged. This influence is connected with a decrease in the mobility of the electrons but their concentration is not influenced by the presence of oxygen. Conclusions are reached as to the influence of oxygen on the efficiency of the conversion of thermal energy into electric energy and vice versa.

     

The bestL 2-approximation by finite sums of functions with separable variables

Summary We consider the problem of the best approximation of a given functionh L ² (X × Y) by sums _k=1 ⁿ f _k f _k, with a prescribed numbern of products of arbitrary functionsf _k L ² (X) andg _k L ² (Y). As a co-product we develop a new proof of the Hilbert—Schmidt decomposition theorem for functions lying inL ² (X × Y).     

Oxygen incorporation in polyethylene implanted with 150 keV Sb+ ions

Samples of polyethylene (PE) loaded with carbon black up to 8 wt.% and implanted with 150 keV Sb⁺ ions to the doses from 2×10¹³–2×10¹⁵ cm^–2 were studied using standard Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS) technique. On the PE samples implanted to the doses above 2×10¹⁴ cm^–2, a considerable surface carbonization is observed. The measured parameters of the Sb depth profile are compared with theoretical TRIM estimations. The projected range is by 25% lower than the theoretical one and the range straggling is about twice of that predicted. The differences are explained by stepwise polymer degradation during the ion bombardment. Strong oxidation of the ion implanted polymers is also observed. The oxygen depth profiles from the sample surface up to the depth comparable with Sb⁺ ion range evolve from nearly uniform one for low ion doses to highly non-uniform one for doses above 1×10¹⁵ cm^–2. The total oxygen content in the sample surface layer 300 nm thick reaches a maximum for the doses of (1–2)×10¹⁴ cm^–2.On leave from Belorussian State University, 220050 Minsk, Belarus.The authors thank the member of electrostatic accelerator group at INP for help during RBS measurements.

The luminescence efficiency of YAG: Ce phosphors

The luminescence intensity of Yttrium aluminium garnet activated by the Ce³⁺ (YAGCe³⁺) under cathode-ray excitation depends on the preparation method and content of some dopants. Samples containing Fe, Pt, Ir or some colour centre, respectively, show relatively low luminescence. The maximum luminescence intensity was obtained with the Czochralski method grown single crystals in 98% Ar+2% H₂ atmosphere which were sensitized by oxygen annealing followed by treatment at 1500 °C in molybdenum container using a wet hydrogen atmosphere.
