Abstract It has been known for many years that deformation results in softening of rubber and that the initial stress-strain curve determined during the first deformation is unique and cannot be retraced. Further the effect of repeated deformation is to cause rubber asymptotically to approach a steady state with a con…
Gold, silver, and silver iodide sols were prepared in mixed nitrate melts. Electron micographs of the gold and silver sols show particles smaller than 1 micron. The gold sols exhibit conventional absorption and scattering spectra. Both gold amid silver sols show unusual stability.
Most of the small particles (50 to 100 micrometers in diameter) of microcrystalline beta-rhombohedral boron that quickly transit an argon plasma maintained within a radio-frequency induction-coupled torch emerge as better crystallized spheroids of the same crystalline form and nearly the same size as the starting mate…
Review based on papers delivered by the author at the International Symposium on Modern Physics, Trieste, July 1968, and at the Soviet- American Symposium on Solid State Theory, Moscow, July 1968.
When two immiscible liquid drops suspended in a third immiscible liquid are brought into contact, three equilibrium configurations which depend upon the spreading coefficients are possible. Experiments for a large number of systems, including three phase emulsions, confirm the theory and indicate the mechanisms of rea…
Abstract Single crystal X-ray analyses of the structure of potassium ferricyanide at ca. 300 and 95° K are reported. Least-squares refinements within the monoclinic space group, P21/c, have converged with the residuals R300°K = 0·092 and R95°K = 0·077. The unit cell dimensions at 300°K are: a = 7·06, b = 10·38, c = 8·…
Photoemission quantum yield and energy distribution curves have been measured for V${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ in the tetragonal (100\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C) and monoclinic (25\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C) phases over the photon energy range from 7 to 11.5 eV. The V${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ studied was a polycrys…
The silver–calcium system has been reinvestigated over the whole composition range by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and metallography. A novel technique has been used to prepare and examine these reactive alloys. In the course of this project four intermetallic compounds have been observed for the first time; w…
The new interpolation procedure of Shankland is applied to interpolation problems found in a periodic lattice. Two problems, the method of averaging the valence electron density over the Brillouin zone and the method of interpolating energy bands throughout the Brillouin zone from values at symmetry points, are discus…
A method is presented for calculating anharmonic contributions to the Debye-Waller factor in the high-temperature limit in terms of direct-space sums. These sums are simpler quantities than those resulting from the phonon technique, in that there are no multiple integrals in reciprocal space and the frequencies and po…
The effects of strain on optical critical-point structure in the imaginary part ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{2}$ of the dielectric function are considered. The motivation is to study how the symmetry-breaking effects of strain can be used to deduce the symmetry location of the critical points ${\mathrm{k}}_{0}$. This kno…
This report provides a brief preliminary account of the solution crystallization of isotactic polystyrene under the influence of velocity gradients. During crystallizations from 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and cyclohexanol solutions, the polymer appears in a number of morphological forms which are composed of microfibrilla…
Measurements of the Hall resistivity and magnetoresistance of cadmium and cadmium-zinc crystals in the residual-resistance-ratio range of 40 000-240, corresponding to a maximum zinc concentration of 1.5 at.%, are reported in the temperature ranges of 1.4-4.2, 9-20, and at 77 K for magnetic fields below 25 kG. The Hall…
Reversible phase holograms have been made on thin films of MnBi by Curie-point writing. Magnetic holograms are formed when the interference pattern, created by conventional holographic techniques, heats the film above its Curie temperature, causing a magnetic domain pattern that corresponds to the interference pattern…
Single crystals and polycrystalline 5-mil tungsten wires of high purity were irradiated at 20\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K with 2.5-MeV electrons. Stage-I defect behavior was studied by internal friction, dynamic Young's-modulus, and resistivity measurements. The friction and modulus samples were electrostatica…
Studies performed on the conduction and switching phenomena in films of certain amorphous chalcogenide semiconductors indicate that the electrical switching may be associated with a field-influenced dielectric phase transition. The normalized conduction found at voltages below switching displays an Ohmic and an expone…
The thermal conductivity of germanium has been calculated using an anharmonic isotropic continuum model. This model has been extended so as to incorporate umklapp processes by introducing a pseudo-reciprocal-lattice translation vector of magnitude equal to the diameter of the Debye sphere, in such a way that the wave…
The electronic band structure and optical constants of ${\mathrm{Mg}}_{2}$Si, ${\mathrm{Mg}}_{2}$Ge, and ${\mathrm{Mg}}_{2}$Sn are calculated using the empirical pseudopotential method. The results are compared with experiment.
A theory assuming specular scattering of electrons and incorporating nonlocal transverse and longitudinal dielectric functions predicts that a thin metallic film may exhibit anomalous optical properties due to the wave-vector-dependent structure in the longitudinal dielectric function.
Detailed experimental results have been obtained on the reflectivity of both natural and pyrolytic graphite single crystals in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Results have been taken for both $E\ensuremath{\perp}c$ and $E\ensuremath{\parallel}c$ at near-normal incidence, and as a function of angle of incidence fo…
