Real and simulated fractal aggregates

We have obtained interesting metallic fractal aggregates through an evaporation-condensation method. In order to interpret these results, computer simulation programs based on the DLA model have been developed, as well as methods to approximate the determination of the fractal dimension and another to compare two aggregates.     

Improved Parameterization for Combined Isotopomer Analysis of Diatomic Spectra and Its Application to HF and DF

A new way of representing vibration-rotation term values for multiple isotopomers of a given electronic state of a diatomic molecule is presented which resolves problems associated with the way the conventional combined isotopomer expansion represents the atomic mass-dependent JWKB and Born-Oppenheimer breakdown correction terms. Its application to infrared and microwave data for HF and DF yields new Dunham expansion coefficients and Born-Oppenheimer breakdown correction terms for this species. This procedure is implemented in a generally available computer program for fitting to various types of data involving one or several electronic states of multiple isotopomers of a diatomic molecule.

Proton polarization in the14N(3He,p)16O reaction near 10 MeV and reaction mechanisms

The angular distribution of the proton polarization has been measured between 30° and 110° in the CM system near 10 MeV laboratory energy. It provides a sensitive test of theoretical fits to the cross section angular distribution. The reaction mechanism is largely direct below 70° and evidence has been found for a deuteron-cluster transfer.
