Development of methods and procedures for high rate low energy expenditure fabrication of solar cells. Final report

Description: A one year program to develop a new concept for silicon solar cell production based upon the use of pulsed electron beam processes combined with ion implantation has been completed. Feasibility of producing solar cells at high speed by a simplified vacuum-room temperature processing sequence has been demonstrated. The method has many advantages, particularly for large scale production at lowest possible cost.

Applied chromodynamics

Description: A number of novel features of QCD are reviewed, including the consequences of formation zone and color transparency phenomena in hadronic collisions, the use of automatic scale setting for perturbative predictions, null-zone phenomena as a fundamental test of gauge theory, and the relationship of intrinsic heavy colored particle Fock state components to new particle production. We conclude with a review of the applications of QCD to nuclear multiquark systems. 74 references.

Effects of CTR irradiation on the mechanical properties of structural materials

Description: Mechanical properties of CTR structural materials are important in determining the reliability and economics of fusion power. Furthermore, these properties are significantly affected by the high neutron flux experienced by components in the regions near the plasma of the fusion reactor. In general, irradiation hardens the material and leads to a reduction in ductility. An exception to this is in some complex engineering alloys where either hardening or softening can be observed depending on the… more

Study of efficient high-power, high-energy neutral beams for the Reference Mirror Reactor

Description: An injector design for the Reference Mirror Reactor is described which uses negative ions created by charge-exchange in a cesium vapor cell and neutralized by photodetachment. Some of the innovations discussed include a continuously operating cathode for an LBL/LLL ion source, a negative ion beam line with cooled grids, a high voltage accelerator configuration with insulators shielded from the neutron and gamma flux, and cryopanels which continuously cycle between pumping and outgassing modes.

Determination of permeability of granitic rocks in GT-2 from hydraulic fracturing data

Description: The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is currently conducting a study to determine the feasibility to extract geothermal energy from dry hot rock. The investigated concept calls for the creation of a hydraulic fracture in hot, impermeable rock. Heat will be exchanged subsequently at the fracture surface between the rock and a circulating fluid. The successful creation of hydraulic fractures in the granitic section of exploratory holes GT-1 and GT-2 yielded sufficient data to calculate the averag… more

Potentiometric determination of sulfate with EDTA and the cupric-selective electrode

Description: Sulfate was indirectly determined by precipitating sulfate as BaSO/sub 4/ and then dissolving BaSO/sub 4/ in excess ammoniacal EDTA. The excess EDTA was titrated potentiometrically with La/sup 3 +/. A cupric-selective electrode was used to detect the end point. About 10/sup -3/M SO/sub 4//sup 2 -/ was determined in 3M HCl solutions of metal oxides with a relative standard deviation of 3.5 percent and a bias of +4 percent.

Effects of the trip phenomenon on the toughness of heat treatable alloy steels. [AISI 4330]

Description: It is shown that substantial amounts of untransformed austenite may be obtained in low alloy steels by a combination of alloy modification (addition of silicon) and heat treatment. In silicon modified AISI 4330 steel, the amount of untransformed austenite is varied by utilizing isothermal treatments both above and below the M/sub s/. The stability of the untransformed austenite is found to be dependent on the amount of silicon and also on the tempering temperature. A magnetic saturation techniq… more

Chemistry of the KALC process. The CO/sub 2/--I/sub 2/--CH/sub 3/I--H/sub 2/O system

Description: The chemistry of the CO/sub 2/--I/sub 2/--CH/sub 3/I--H/sub 2/O system in stainless steel has been investigated with respect to the probable reactions of these components in the KALC process. Iodine is stable in dry CO/sub 2/ contained in stainless steel; but in the presence of organic impurities or water, it is lost from solution via reactions which produce solid phases. Methyl iodide, however, is stable in either wet or dry CO/sub 2/ solutions. Distribution coefficients for I/sub 2/ and CH/su… more

Quantum theory and the emergence of patterns in the universe

Description: The topic of this symposium is the quest to discover, define, and interpret patterns in the universe. This quest has two parts. To discover and define these patterns is the task of science: this part of the quest is producing a copious flow of reliable information. To interpret or give meaning to these patterns is the task of natural philosophy: this part has not kept pace.

Reactive scattering of halogen molecules. [Angular and velocity distributions, stabilities 6. 8 to 17. 7 kcal/mole, FORTRAN]

Description: A study of the endoergic, bimolecular reactions of F/sub 2/ with I/sub 2/, ICl, and HI in a crossed molecular beam experiment is described. The trihalogens IIF, ClIF, and HIF were directly observed as the products of these reactions. At high collision energies a second reactive channel producing IF becomes important. Product angular and velocity distributions show that this IF does not result from a four-center exchange reaction. Measured threshold energies for the formation of IIF, ClIF, and H… more

A preliminary measurement of R[sub b] = [Gamma]([Zeta][degrees] [yields] b[bar b])/[Gamma]([Zeta][degrees] [yields] hadrons) at SLD

Description: We present a preliminary measurement of R[sub b], the ratio of [Gamma](Z[degree] - b[bar b]) relative to [Gamma](Z[degree] [yields] hadrons) using the silicon CCD-pixel vertex detector of the SLD at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). An impact parameter method and a displaced vertex method are applied to all charged tracks, to efficiently tag Z[degree] - b[bar b] events. From the impact (displaced vertex) approach we find R[sub b] = 0.214 [plus minus] 0.010 [plus minus] 0.025 (R[sub b] = 0.204 [pl… more

Experimental two-phase liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamic generator program. Annual report. [NaK-nitrogen generator]

Description: A new diverging-channel liquid-metal MHD generator with gas injection along the insulating walls was built and placed in operation in late 1974. This generator yielded nearly-constant liquid velocity along the channel for near-design conditions, as desired for best performance. Extensive measurements of the generator terminal and internal parameters were made over a range of gas and liquid flow rates, magnetic field strengths, and load resistance values. Data are given for generator efficiency … more
