The Grüneisen Parameter for an Einstein Solid and Under Finite Strain

Description: The Grüneisen constant, as evaluated from the equation of state, is obtained for an Einstein solid. the presence of a state of finite hydrostatic pressure is taken into account explicitly by means of Murnaghan's theory of finite strain, to obtain the Grüneisen parameter's on the Debye and Einstein models. Results are identical in the two cases with the corresponding values obtained without use of the formal theory of finite strain.

Rates of Convergence in Numerical Solution of the Diffusion Equation

Description: A basic technique in the design of a nuclear power reactor is to prescribe the dimensions and composition of a simplified model and to calculate the corresponding neutron flux and power distributions. Comparison of calculations for different models and of particular calculations to experimental results guides the physicist to a reasonable prescription. Until recently, the usual model had spherical or cylindrical symmetry. We have found it feasible to extend the methods to include a class of rea… more

Precise Closed-Form Solutions of Some Mixed Boundary Value Problems of Plane Elasticity

Description: Precise solutions are given for the problem of the semi-infinite strip extending from x=0 to x=infinity, stress-free along the edges y= +-1, when the edge x=0 is subject (a) to a quadratic sheer displacement and zero normal stress, (b) to a cubic normal displacement and zero sheer stress. These are the two simplest (non-trivial) end problems of the semi-infinite strip, antisymmetric in y, that may be formulated. The corresponding symmetric problems (a) linear seer displacement and zero normal s… more

The Mass Spectrum of Methane and the Energy Levels of the Fragment Ions and Radicals

Description: A MO calculation of the electronic states of CH4, CH3, CH2, CH, and their respective ions provided the basis for the application of correlation rules to an analysis of the existing appearance potential data for methane. An interpretation of the methane mass spectrum has been proposed which is based on the high value of the heat of sublimation of carbon. It is shown that the excited electronic states of the molecule- and radical-ions are prominent in the decomposition reactions.

High-Energy Electron Scattering and the Charge Distribution of Selected Nuclei

Description: Experimental results are presented of electron scattering by Ca, V, Co, In, Sb, Hf, Ta, W, Au, Bi, Th, and U, at 183 Mev and (for some of the elements) at 153 Mev. For those nuclei for which asphericity and inelastic scattering are absent or unimportant, i.e., Ca, V, Co, In, Sb, Au, and Bi, a partial wave analysis of the Dirac equation has been performed in which the nuclei are represented by static, spherically symmetric charge distributions. Smoothed uniform charge distributions have been ass… more

Recrystallized Texture of Alpha Uranium

Description: Uranium was plastically deformed 90% at room temperature by unidirectional rolling to a foil 0.002-inches thick. Specimens were recrystallized in the alpha region and several pole figures obtained from 0 to 40 degrees. From these, the preferred orientation was found to be in a spread of idealized (11) [010] about [010].

Sealing Radioactive Specimens in Glass Ampoules

Description: In studying the effect of neutron irradiation on certain kinds of metal wire, specimen storage was found to present a serious problem, since the specimens oxidized rapidly once removed from the protective atmosphere of the irradiation capsule. After trying several methods of storage it was found that sealing the radioactive samples in individual evacuated glass ampoules was best from both the standpoint of sample protection and minimum spread of radioactive contamination. The sealing technique … more

The Iodine Pentafluoride-Hydrogen Fluoride System. Solid-Liquid Equilibria, Vapor Pressures, Molar Volumes and Specific Conductances

Description: Some properties of the iodine pentafluoride-hydrogen fluoride system have been investigated. The solid-liquid phase diagram show a eutectic point at -83.49 degree C. and 99.5 mole% hydrogen fluoride. The vapor pressures at 15 degree C show positives deviations from Raoult's law but no maximum vapor pressure was observed. There is a small decrease in volume on mixing, the maximum deviation from ideality being 6.6% at 90 mole% hydrogen fluoride. The specific conductance of pure iodine pentafluori… more

Note on an Approximation Method of Brueckner, Levinson, and Mahmoud

Description: This note reports two calculation that we believe help to clarify the nature of the approximation made in the method Brueckner, et al, for the ground state of many-Fermion systems. The first is a formal calculation of their result for the energy in terms of two-body forward scattering amplitudes from elementary perturbation theory. We find that their result is obtained when one keeps only those terms in the perturbation expansion that depend on pair correlations. From this point of view the met… more

The Adsorption of He3 and He4 on Activated Charcoal

Description: The adsorption on activated charcoal of pure He3 at 2.5 and 3°K, and of pure He4 at 4°K has been measured. The volume of gas necessary to form a monolayer is approximately the same for the two isotopes. It is shown that capillary condensation does not occur in this adsorbent at low saturations. The data have been analyzed by a number of methods with consistent results.

The Laplace Transform Method of Obtaining X-ray Spectral Energy Distributions

Description: This method essentially consists of analyzing x-ray filtration data in terms of Laplace transforms and obtaining the spectral energy distribution in terms of a sum of the corresponding inverse Laplace transforms. Some of the functions which are especially suited for this application are given and a graphical method of analyzing filtration data in terms of these functions is described. Examples of the practical application of this method to several low energy x-ray machines are included with a d… more

Infrared Spectra and Structure of the Crystalline Sodium Acetate Complexes of U(VI), Np(VI), Pu(VI), and Am(VI). A Comparison of Metal-Oxygen Bond Distance and Bond fFrce Constant in this Series

Description: Infrared spectra of solid NaXO2(Ac)3, with X=U, Np, Pu, and Am, have been observed. From the symmetric and asymmetric stretching frequencies of the O-X-O groups, approximate X-O force constants have been calculated and were found to decrease in the order kU—O>kNp—O>kPu—O> kAm—O, the respective values being about 0.705, 0.698, 0.675, and 0.612 megadyne/cm. From the cell constants for NaXO2(Ac)3 it is apparent that the X-O bond distance decreases in the same order—RU—O>RNp—O>RPu—O>RAm—O. Thus, a … more
