Virtual miscibility gap and interdiffusion coefficient in iron-nickel invar alloys

Fe-Ni Invar alloys exhibit anomalies in thermodynamic and physical properties at high temperatures. This is considered to result from the tendency to two-phase separation in the fcc phase. This idea is supported also by interdiffusion experiments in the Fe-Ni system, where the interdiffusion coefficient is anomalously small in the Invar region at lower temperatures. A simple theory of regular solutions based on a pair interaction model is applied to the Fe-Ni system; with the assumption of two gamma states this gives a miscibility gap in the Invar region.     

Analysis of two neutron (proton) transfer reaction data in the Zr-region

The spectroscopic amplitudes, form factors, angular distributions and total cross-sections for two nucleon transfer reactions in Zr-region in the zero range distorted wave Born approximation are calculated using consistent set of shell model wave functions. A single normalisation factor gives a good fit to all the two neutron transfer reaction data whereas the corresponding fit for the two-proton transfer reaction data is less satisfactory.     

μ+ depolarization inAlGd alloys

The ⁺ depolarization rate in diluteAlGd alloys containing 50 and 450 atomic ppm Gd was measured in a transverse field of 80 Oe over the temperature range 6–300 K. For both alloys, A increased dramatically above 200 K, reaching values of 0.69 and 0.93 s^–1, respectively, near room temperature. The results are interpreted as providing evidence for a thermally-activated trapping mechanism.This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.     

Nonlinear mixing of oppositely travelling surface plasmons

A theoretical treatment of the nonlinear mixing of two contra-directional surface plasmons of frequency ω₁ and ω₂ propagating on a semi-infinite metal surface is presented. The nonlinear interaction is analysed in terms of (a) nonlinear surface currents due to the breaking of inversion symmetry and the rapid variation of the normal electric field component at the surface, and (b) the nonlinear response of the electron gas in the bulk of the metal. These currents are treated as source terms for Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic fields are found which satisfy the driven wave equation and boundary conditions at the frequencies ω₁ ± ω₂. At the difference frequency ω₁ ? ω₂ the solution fields decay exponentially into both the air and the metal. However, at the sum frequency ω₁ + ω₂, coupling to transverse electromagnetic waves in both the air and the metal is predicted under appropriate wavevector and frequency conditions. The free-space radiation field is treated in detail and the feasibility of its experimental detection is discussed. No coupling to longitudinal bulk plasmons is predicted in this model of the nonlinear interaction.     

A note on the radiation impedance of a circumferential slit in a circular cylinder

The modal radiation impedance of a circumferential opening in a circular cylinder is obtained as a simple integral formula. Calculation results are presented, demonstrating the effects of the width/radius ratio of the opening.     

Sound propagation and radiation through a vaneless diffuser

A simple analysis has been carried out to examine acoustic effects of attaching to the termination of an annular duct a vaneless diffuser through which incident plane waves propagate and radiate out circumferentially. The results are shown in the form of a reflection coefficient which expresses the ration of the incident and reflected waves at the diffuser inlet.
