The measurement of subcritical electroconvection

Under idealized conditions, electroconvection in a nematic liquid crystal sets in at a well-defined threshold of the driving ac voltage. Fluctuating convection rolls of a small amplitude below that threshold have been observed recently. The measurement of the amplitude of these fluctuations is described in detail in this paper. It is based on averaging the light intensity signals using the structure function and a quantitative analysis of the light deflection.     

Electron traps and positive DLTS signals in VPE GaAs MESFETs

Capacitance DLTS measurements have been performed in VPE GaAs MESFETs prepared on Bridgman Cr-doped and LEC undoped semi-insulating substrates. A band of electron traps not intrinsically related to the VPE growth process and accumulating near the metal (gate) — semiconductor interface was detected in all the samples. Deeper regions into the channel were free from any detectable trap. Near pinch-off conditions, a positive capacitance signal was found to dominate the DLTS spectra only in the case of samples prepared on Cr-doped substrates. The hypothesis of this positive transient being related to changes in the occupation of surface states in the ungated surface access regions has been checked by comparing experimental and calculated dependencies of the signal amplitude on reverse gate voltage. Unexplained discrepancies, together with the absence of positive signal in MESFETs prepared on LEC undoped substrates, suggest the possibility of hole emission from hole traps within the bulk of the device.     

The Third-Order Singular-Perturbation Expansion of the Planar Cold-Fluid Magnetron Equations

The singular-perturbation expansion of the plasma cold-fluid equations for crossed fields in a planar geometry is presented. The general expansion is carried out to third order. Various instabilities that occur in the first, second, and third orders are discussed.     

Correlation between time functions of sound pressure, masking, and OAE suppression

Periodic sound-pressure time functions with frequency components below 50 Hz were used to measure within their period (a) the temporal course of masking, called a masking-period pattern (MPP), and (b) the temporal course of suppression of delayed evoked otoacoustic emissions, called a suppression-period pattern (SPP). Three different time functions were used: an alternating Gaussian impulse, its first integral, and its second integral. In each case, the course of the SPP is a mirror image of that of the MPP: Small masking corresponds to small suppression, while strong masking coincides with almost total suppression. Since otoacoustic emissions are assumed to have their origin in the inner ear, it can be argued that simultaneous masking, an effect including central processing, is very strongly based on peripheral processes located in the cochlea. Both MPP and SPP are closely related to the second derivative of the sound-pressure time function.
