Acceptor Dopants for Lead Telluride

Description: Alternative P-type dopants such as, Th, P, and As were studied. Ingots were grown from a melt containing one at.% dopant and their electrical properties evaluated. Also, sintered pellets of PbTe were doped by exposure at high temperature to gaseous dopants. In most cases, the doping concentrations obtained were insufficient for SNAP 10A requirements. In the case of As, however, doping of Te-rich PbTe, the desired heavy doping was obtained. These preliminary studies suggest that dopants other th… more

Adsorption of Krypton and Xenon by Various Materials

Description: The adsorptive capacities of various inorganic adsorbents and activated charcoals for krypton and xenon were determined. Columbia-G activated charcoal had the highest capacity for both krypton and xenon at pressures from 0.01 to 125 mm Hg and temperaturens from 2 to 85 deg C. If a value of 1 is assigned to the capacity of this charcoal at 28 deg C for krypton, other charcoals range from 0.63 to 0.84, molecular sieves (except 4A) from 0.11 to 0.20, and some silica genls from 0.05 to 0.07. Variou… more

[Basketball hangs in the air during a game]

Description: Photograph of a basketball game between North Texas and Lamar Tech. An NT player, number 14, has his hands in the air on either side of the basketball. Another NT player crouches down to catch the ball before any of the Lamar players who are guarding 14 can grab it. Two Lamar players move towards NT player 14. Each athlete wears converse, tall socks, and their respective uniforms, some with the shirts tucked in, some not. In the background, spectators sit in bleachers to watch the game.

Biological Effects of Blast. Technical Progress Report

Description: The current state of knowledge relevant to biological blast effects was summarized in a selective manner. Initially, five problems of concern to those who would relate the environmental variations produced by nuclear weapons with biological response and hazard assessment were pointed out. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous blast effects were defined and selected interspecies experimental data of a physical and pathophysiological nature useful in estimating human response were prese… more

Critical Experiments With Thoria-Urania Fuel In Heavy Water

Description: The nuclear characteristics of a variety of small reactors composed of thoria -urania fuel in heavy water were determined in a program of critical experimentation. The fuel element consisted of ceramic ThO/sub 2/-U/sup 235/ O/ sub 2/ pellets stacked to a height of 1.5 m within 0.787-cm-OD aluminum tubing. The pellets used most frequently were of 0.587-cm diameter and had a Th/U/sup 235/ atom ratio of 25. Rods containing similar pellets with only half as much U/sup 235/ were used to achieve smal… more

Detection and Measurement of Nuclear Radiation

Description: The technique of radiation characterization is reviewed, with particular emphasis on new methods and their practi-cal aspects. Each type of detector is discussed in terms of its principle of operation and its applicability to various problems in counting and spectrometry. Auxiliary electronic instrumentation and the function of each instrument are described in general terms. Other topics discussed include low-level counting, absolute counting, and the mounting of radioactive sources. (137 refer… more

Heat Transfer With Laminar Flow in Concentric Annuli With Constant and Arbitrary Variable Axial Wall Temperature

Description: An analysis has been performed to determine the heat transfer characteristics for laminar forced-convection flow in a concentric annulus with prescribed surface temperatures. Three distinct problems were considered: (a) wall temperature prescribed at both the inside and outside wall; (b) inside wall temperature prescribed and the outside wall insulated; and (c) inside wall insulated and outside wall temperature prescribed. The solution for temperature distribution was similar to that obtained b… more

Index of Refraction and Dispersion of Several Gases in Cerenkov Counter Use

Description: Measurements of index of refraction as a function of gas pressure for carbon dioxide, ethane, methane, sulfur hexafluoride, Freon 13, Freon 14, and Freon 23, which are suitable for Cerenkov Counter use, are reported. These gases do not react with Al or Ag mirror coatings, or other materials used in such counters, and have indices of refraction that are large enough to permit the use of these gases at reasonable pressures. Methane and ethane are both toxic and highly explosive; the remainder of … more

Irradiation of Metal-Fiber-Reinforced Thoria-Urania. Final Report- Metallurgy Program 6.2.4

Description: Randomly oriented fibers of either molybdenum or niobium were incorporated into hot-pressed pellets of 10, 30, and 50 wt% UO/sub 2/ in ThO/sub 2/ to improve thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance. Pellets, 9.5 mm in diameter and 9.5 mm in length, were irradiated in NaK capsules, both bare and jacketed with Zircaloy-2, with the annulus between pellet and jacket filled with lead or helium. They were irradiated to burnups ranging up to 34 500 Mwd/T (1 0 x 10/sup 21/ fiss/cc) at central … more

Irreducible Representations of Line Groups: the Dynamics of Polymer Chains

Description: Abstract: "The symmetries of infinite polymer chain molecules are discussed using the concept of line groups. Explicit directions are given for obtaining the irreducible representations of line groups employing the formalism developed for three-dimensional space groups. Line groups containing primitive and nonprimitive operations are discussed. Detailed considerations of the line group Vh are given with specific applications to the polyethylene molecule. Directions for generating symmetry-adapt… more
