Dependence of the steepness of the exponential absorption tail on the chemical composition of materials

The quantity characterizing the steepness of the exponential tail of the fundamental absorption edge is studied. It is shown, that the magnitude of of binary compounds can be roughly estimated from their chemical composition in a way described in this paper.Boní II, Praha 4, Czechoslovakia.The author thanks Ing.

The result of measurements of the energy of-radiation originating during the interaction of deuterons (800 keV) with Li are given in the present paper together with an explanation of the origin of the radiation.The authors are indebted to J. Jirou for the operation of the accelerator, M. Skopová for help during the measurements and K. Balada for technical help in the reconstruction of the spectrometer and during its operation.     

Periodic triboluminescence of zinc sulphide

Powdered ZnS-Mn (Cu, Ag) was scattered in the form of a suspension in different solids. The mechanical excitation of triboluminescence was periodic with a frequency of 50 Hz. The resultant triboluminescence is also periodic if the exciting pressure does not exceed 700 kg/cm². The creation of triboluminescence does not depend on the kind of surrounding medium.

On the use of the rolling-ball viscometer for the measurement of rheological parameters of power law fluids

Summary An attempt has been made to determine the flow curve of fluids obeying the power law rheological model on a rolling ball viscometer. The theoretical analysis is based on the hydrodynamical model developed byLewis in 1956 for the purpose of rolling ball viscometer calibration and extended in 1964 byTurian andBird for the two-parametric power law model. The shear rate variation has been accomplished on varying the tube angle of inclination. Experiments performed on an adapted, commercialHoeppler viscometer with aqueous solutions of carboxymethylcellulose and polyacrylamide reproduced the flow curves obtained simultaneously on rotational and capillary instruments with reasonable accuracy.

Zusammenfassung Die Möglichkeit der Bestimmung von FließkurvenOstwaldscher Flüssigkeiten in einem Fallkugelviskosimeter wurde überprüft. Die analytische Behandlung des Problems beruht auf dem hydrodynamischen Modell, das 1956Lewis zur Eichung von Fallkugel-viskosimetern entwickelte und das später vonBird undTurian verallgemeinert wurde. Die Änderung der Schergeschwindigkeit wurde durch Neigung des Fallrohrs erzielt. Versuche wurden an einem handelsüblichenHöppler-Viskometer mit wässerigen Lösungen von Karboxymethylzellulose und Polyakrylamid durchgeführt. Vergleiche der gewonnenen Ergebnisse mit Fließkurven, die gleichzeitig an Rotations- und Kapillar-Viskosimetern gemessen wurden, ergaben im Gültigkeitsbereich der Theorie befriedigende Übereinstimmung.
