A general analysis of magnetic viscosity based on activation energy concepts is given. A particular case is considered of the application of the theory to the phenomenon occurring in materials in which bulk magnetization proceeds by the rotational movement of the vectors of single domains, which process, according to…

Determination of Electronic Structure of Molecules from Nuclear Quadrupole Effects

C. H. Townes、B. P. Dailey1949-09-01OpenAlex

Nuclear quadrupole coupling constants in molecules depend on the nuclear quadrupole moments and the variation in electrostatic field at the nucleus. It is shown that this variation of electric field is usually simply related to the molecular electronic structure, being primarily dependent on the way in which valence e…

The Dynamics of Cavitation Bubbles

M. S. Plesset1949-09-01OpenAlex

Abstract Three regimes of liquid flow over a body are defined, namely: (a) noncavitating flow; (b) cavitating flow with a relatively small number of cavitation bubbles in the field of flow; and (c) cavitating flow with a single large cavity about the body. The assumption is made that, for the second regime of flow, th…

The dissociation energy of the N-N bond in hydrazine

M. Szwarc1949-08-15Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Abstract The thermal decomposition, of hydrazine was investigated over a temperature range of 630 to 780°C and at pressures of a few mm. Hg. The experiments were carried out in a flow system, toluene being used as a carrier gas. This technique makes it possible to discriminate between the heterogeneous decomposition o…

The diffraction of X-rays by distorted-crystal aggregates. II. Diffraction by bent lamellae

A. J. C. Wilson1949-08-02Acta Crystallographica

The apparent particle size of distorted crystallites varies from independence of θ and λ (particle-size broadening) to proportionality with λ cosec θ (distortion broadening) as the parameter Eη sin θ/λ increases, where E is a particle size and η is an average strain. For a bent `orthorhombic' lamella of thickness T wi…

X-ray diffraction by random layers: ideal line profiles and determination of sructure amplitudes from observed line profiles

A. J. C. Wilson1949-08-02Acta Crystallographica

Warren's calculation of the line profile for diffraction from random layers depends on the use of an approximation function. This can be. avoided, and expressions found for (a) the ideal line profile for slow variation of the structure amplitude, and (b) the variation of the intensity of diffraction as a function of p…
