Self-action of Bessel light beams in cubic gyrotropic photorefractive crystals

We have studied conversion and interaction of a Bessel laser beam of zero order in photorefractive crystals. We have established that in a cubic gyrotropic crystal, two Bessel light beams propagate with different wave vectors and cone angles, but with identical conicity parameters. As the power in the Bessel light beam increases, we have experimentally observed a new optical effect: self-action of a Bessel light beam. We have studied the effect of external influences and the parameters of the beam itself on the process of self-refraction in photorefractive crystals. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 4, pp. 488–493, July–August, 2006.     

Accurate measurement of grain boundary misorientation by Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction

A new method using Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (LACBED) patterns is proposed to measure accurately the grain boundary misorientation. The LACBED patterns which are obtained with a defocused convergent electron beam having a convergence semi-angle in the range 1 to 5^o contain very sharp deficiency lines. Due to the good quality of the LACBED patterns, these sharp deficiency lines can be used to measure with great accuracy the grain boundary misorientation. In addition, since the LACBED method is a defocus mode method, the patterns contain at the same time information on the reciprocal space (the deficiency lines typical of the crystal orientation of the two grains on each side of the grain boundary) and on the real space (the image of the grain boundary). We describe a method which allows the identification of the misorientation from these LACBED patterns. The main point to consider is the accuracy which is about 0.05^o. It is much better than the one obtained from other conventional methods used to measure this misorientation.

MIDI! basis set for silicon, bromine, and iodine

The MIDI! basis set is extended to three new atoms: silicon, bromine, and iodine. The basis functions for these heteroatoms are developed from the standard 3-21G basis set by adding one Gaussian-type d subshell to each Si, Br, or I atom. The exponents of the d functions are optimized to minimize errors in the geometries and charge distributions that these basis functions yield when they are used in Hartree-Fock calculations with all atoms represented by the MIDI! basis. The MIDI! basis is defined to use five spherical d functions in a d subshell. We present a detailed comparison of such calculations to calculations employing six Cartesian d functions in each d subshell; these studies show that 5D and 6D options give very similar results for molecular geometries and dipole moments, not only for compounds containing Si, Br, and I but also for compounds containing N, O, F, P, S, and Cl. The MIDI! basis set is also tested successfully for hypervalent Si compounds. Received: 7 January 1998 / Accepted: 7 January 1998     

Review of brookhaven nuclear transparency measurements (p,2p) reactions at largeQ 2

In this contribution we summarize the results of two experiments to measure the transparency of nuclei in the (p,2p) quasi-elastic scattering process near 90‡ in thepp center-of-mass. The incident momenta went from 6 to 14.4 GeV/c, corresponding to 4.8 <Q ² < 127 (GeV/c)². First, we describe the measurements with the newer experiment, E850, which has more complete kinematic definition of quasi-elastic events. E850 covers a larger range of incident momenta, and thus provides more information regarding the nature of the unexpected fall in the transparency above 9 GeV/c. Second, we review the techniques used in an earlier experiment, E834, and show that the two experiments are consistent for the carbon data. We use the transparencies measured in the five nuclei from Li to Pb to set limits on the rate of expansion for protons involved in quasi-elastic scattering at large momentum transfer.

Higher order contribution to the propagation characteristics of low frequency transverse waves in a dusty plasma

Characteristic features of low frequency transverse wave propagating in a magnetised dusty plasma have been analysed considering the effect of dust-charge fluctuation. The distinctive behaviours of both the left circularly polarised and right circularly polarised waves have been exhibited through the analysis of linear and non-linear dispersion relations. The phase velocity, group velocity, and group travel time for the waves have been obtained and their propagation characteristics have been shown graphically with the variations of wave frequency, dust density and amplitude of the wave. The change in non-linear wave number shift and Faraday rotation angle have also been exhibited with respect to the plasma parameters. It is observed that the effects of dust particles are significant only when the higher order contributions are considered. This may be referred to as the ‘dust regime’ in plasma.

Very fast MR imaging by field echoes and small angle excitation

An MR imaging technique has been developed producing head and body images of diagnostic quality in only a few seconds acquisition time. The Fourier type imaging technique uses excitation with relatively small excitation angels, echoes produced by gradient inversion, and extremely fast profile repetition. A typical result at 0.5 T is an artifact-free head image of 128 x 128 resolution, 10 mm slice thickness in an acquisition time of 2 seconds.
