Impact ionization in GaAs: A screened exchange density-functional approach

Description: Results are presented of a fully ab initio calculation of impact ionization rates in GaAs within the density functional theory framework, using a screened-exchange formalism and the highly precise all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The calculated impact ionization rates show a marked orientation dependence in k space, indicating the strong restrictions imposed by the conservation of energy and momentum. This anisotropy diminishes as the impacting electron energy… more

Investigations on 10-Hz sub-Joule fs-Laser Pumped Neon- and Nickel-Like X-Ray Lasers

Description: Experimental investigations on the conditions to achieve transient gain in neon-like Ti and nickel-like molybdenum XUV laser pumped by a 10-HZ sub-Joule femtosecond laser are presented. The 4d-4p (J = 0-1) {lambda} = 18.9 nm and 4f-4d (J = 1-11) {lambda} = 22.6 nm lines in Ni-like Mo as well as the 3p-3s (J = 0-1) {lambda} = 32.6 nm line in neon-like titanium have been observed. The Ni-like laser lines show a threshold behavior with respect to the pump irradiance as they appear only above 10{su… more

Theorectical Studies of Excitation in Low-Energy Electron-Polyatomic Molecule Collisions

Description: This paper focuses on the channeling of energy from electronic to nuclear degrees of freedom in electron-polyatomic molecule collisions. We examine the feasibility of attacking the full scattering problem, both the fixed-nuclei electronic problem and the post-collision nuclear dynamics, entirely from first principles. The electron-CO{sub 2} system is presented as an example. We study resonant vibrational excitation, showing how a6 initio, fixed-nuclei electronic cross sections can provide the n… more

Heat Transfer Characteristics of Mark 15 Slugs for Different Bonding Conditions

Description: A numerical heat transfer model based on the HEATING53 conduction code was developed to analyze poor bonding around the endcap of the outer Mark 15 slug. An analytical model could not be developed because of non-uniform heat generation in the core and the arrangement of the various materials in the cylindrical geometry. Results for air gaps are also included; however, they are not considered reasonable poor bond cases because the 300 area inspection tests can detect slugs with air gaps. This re… more
