Solid State Physics Program. Final Report

Description: During the 17 year period of this research, experimental and theoretical investigations were completed in many aspects of cohesive properties of metals and alloys and dielectric properties of various crystals and glasses together with the temperature and pressure derivatives of both properties. Studies of the magnetization and magnetic anisotropy indicate superparamagnetism is common in oligatomic condensed films and any decreased magnetic moment must be associated with surface atoms. Large int… more

Statistical Analysis and Geologic Evaluation of Laboratory-Derived Physical Property Data for Selected Nevada Test Site Core Samples of Non-Zeolitized Tuffs

Description: A statistical analysis and geologic evaluation of recently acquired laboratory-derived physical property data are being performed to better understand and more precisely correlate physical properties with specific geologic parameters associated with non-zeolitized tuffs at the Nevada Test Site. Physical property data include wet and dry bulk density, grain density (i.e., specific gravity), total porosity, and effective porosity. Geologic parameters utilized include degree of welding, lithology,… more

Issues and future directions in subsecond thermophysics

Description: The primary motivations for trying to measure thermophysical properties of materials on subsecond timescales are to extend measurements to higher temperatures than can be conveniently maintained continuously, or to make measurements on systems out of thermodynamic equilibrium. Since these measurements are difficult, one must keep in mind the needs for the data. These include the ability to use materials cleverly in new high-pressure/high- temperature applications, as well as the development of … more

A system for measuring the attenuation of X-rays by various materials

Description: The Filter Attenuation Measurement System was designed by J.H. McCrary. It is, as its name implies, primarily intended to measure the attenuation of an x-ray beam by various substances. However, it can also be a very useful instrument for qualitative as well as quantitative analysis through the use of absorption edge spectrometry. The essential components of the system are depicted. The brehmstrahlung originating in a tungsten target x-ray tube is collimated and the desired energy picked out by… more

Study of the temperature dependence of spin-wave excitations in Fe/sub x/Cr/sub 1-x/

Description: Certain alloys of Fe/sub x/Cr/sub 1-x/ (0.18 < x < 0.30) have been reported to undergo a transition from a ferromagnetic state to one exhibiting mictomagnetic or spin-glass behavior at temperatures below the Curie temperature, T/sub c/. Studies of the critical scattering on polycrystalline samples show a peak at T/sub c/ for all x's and a monotonically decreasing intensity for T < T/sub c/ for x > 0.30. For those x's exhibiting spin-glass behavior, there is an increase in intensity at low tempe… more

Physical motivations of the constitutive relations for ferroelectric ceramics and the existence of butterfly and hysteresis loops

Description: The responses of ferroelectric ceramics can be quite complex depending on the physical processes to which they are subjected. Their mechanical, electromechanical and dielectric properties depend on domain switching, dipole dynamics and phase transformation which can be caused by external stimuli such as mechanical and electrical loadings, and temperature variations. A theory, taking into account the effects of domain switching and dipole dynamics, has been formulated, and in its present stage o… more

Reflectance measurements of vacuum-deposited aluminum films

Description: An integrating sphere technique was used for the measurement of the total and specular reflectance of vacuum-evaporated aluminum films. The appearance of the surface to the naked eye was relatively insensitive to the total reflectance, but was very closely related to the fraction of reflected light that was specularly reflected. Milky or cloudy-appearing aluminum films had a low specular reflectance while mirror-like films had a high specular reflectance. Surface specular reflectance was in tur… more

Transparent Conducting Oxides: Status and Opportunities in Basic Research

Description: In this paper, we begin by discussing the historical background of transparent conducting oxides and then make some general remarks about their typical properties. This is followed by a short discussion of the desired properties for future applications (particularly photovoltaic devices). These are ambitious objectives but they provide targets for future basic research and development. Although it may be possible to obtain these properties in the laboratory, it is vital to ensure that account i… more
