Annealing dependent far field of GaAs-(Ga,Al)As LEDs

The far field intensity distribution of spontaneously light-emitting diodes with FABRY-PEROT structure and its dependence on different annealing processes during the diode preparation is studied. The electromagnetic field distribution in the far field is considered for a four-layer-stepdiscontinuity of the dielectric constant in a GaAs-(Ga,Al)As heterostructure diode. Even for a symmetrical dielectric constant profile the maximum luminescence intensity is not emitted necessarily in a plane normal to the light emitting surface of the diode. This cross-eyedness can be influenced by annealing. The changed far-field pattern can be evaluated if one knows the doping profile in the vicinity of the p-n junction and its changes during the annealing. Theoretical statements are in qualitative agreement with experimental results.The authors are grateful to Dr. K.Unger for valuable discussions and to Miss B.Russ for assistance with the measurements.

Bose-einstein correlations in the target fragmentation region in 200A GeV16O+nucleus collisions

Correlations between positive pions are investigated in the target fragmentation region of 200A GeV¹⁶O+nucleus collisions. The pions are measured with the Plastic Ball detector in the WA80 experiment at the CERN SPS. The target mass dependence of the radii and the correlation strength extracted by interferometry is studied. A new approach to the fit of the correlation function is introduced. The correlation strength and both invariant and transverse radii increase with decreasing target mass. The transverse radius for¹⁶O+C reactions appears to be much larger than the geometrical radius of the nuclei involved. For the Au target only a small fraction of the measured pions contributes to the apparent correlation. Hints for a much larger second component in¹⁶O+Au reactions are observed. Rescattering phenomena may provide a clue to understand these phenomena.

Corresponding residue systems in nonnormal extensions of prime degree

Let K₁ and K₂ be number fields and $\text{F = K}{}_1\text{? K}{}_2$. Suppose $\text{K}{}_1\text{F}$ and $\text{K}{}_2\text{F}$ are of prime degree p but are not necessarily normal. Let N₁ and N₂ be the normal closures of K₁ and K₂ over F, respectively, L = K₁K₂, N = N₁N₂, and $\text{B}$ be a prime divisor of N which divides p and is totally ramified in $\text{K}{}_1\text{F}$ and $\text{K}{}_2\text{F}$. Let ${}_{\mathrm{<mtext>N</mtext><mtext>L</mtext>}}$ be the ramification index of $\text{B}$ in $\text{N}\text{L}$, $\text{t}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext><mtext>F</mtext>}}$ be the total ramification number of $\text{B}$ in $\text{L}\text{F}$, and . Then $\text{M}$(K₁, K₂) is exactly divisible by $\text{B}$^M, where .     

Defect interactions in intrinsic silver chloride

Approximate formulae are developed for the activity coefficients of vacancies and interstitials in intrinsic silver chloride. The numerical values are compared with the Debye-Hückel approximation and the useful range of the formulae is discussed.     

A computer model to predict traffic noise in urban situations under free flow and traffic light conditions

A computer model is presented for predicting traffic noise indices in built-up situations for free flow traffic conditions and for a flow interrupted by a traffic light. The stream of vehicles is simulated by a given time headway distribution, and a transfer function obtained from a 1 : 100 scale model is used to simulate the specific built-up situation. Different time headway distributions result in only very small discrepancies; even the simple “equally spaced” distribution is adequate for predicting noise indices with high accuracy, unless L₉₀ has to be predicted. In eight built-up situations along a road with freely flowing traffic only minor mutual differences are found when L₁ ? L_eq and L₁₀ ? L_eq are compared, but L₅₀ and L₉₀, and consequently TNI and L_np, show discrepancies of the order of 10 dB(A). If a traffic light is introduced the value of L_eq rises compared with the free flow case, and the values of L₁ and L₁₀ increase, especially at higher traffic intensities, while L₅₀ and L₉₀ decrease. If the noise indices are calculated as a function of the distance along the road to the traffic light increases in L₁, L₁₀ and L_eq are found at about 50 m beyond the traffic light. The principal cause for this increase appears to be the differences between the peak levels of an accelerating car and the sound level at the ultimate speed. More in situ measurements are required to test the accuracy of the model, especially for accelerating vehicles.
