    Notes: A variety of experiments have been performed on the TFTR tokamak [Wilson et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1988 (IAEA, Vienna, 1989), Vol. 1, p. 691] utilizing ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating. Of special interest has been the insight into plasma performance gained by utilizing a different heating scheme other than the usual neutral beam injection (NBI). Utilizing ICRF heating allows control over the power deposition profile independent of the plasma fueling profile. In addition, by varying the minority concentration the power split between ion and electron heating can be varied. Confinement has been examined in high recycling gas fueled discharges, low recycling supershot plasmas, and peaked density pellet fueled discharges. Global confinement is found not to be affected by the method or localization of plasma heating, but the calculated local diffusivities vary with the power deposition profile to yield similar global values. In addition, sawtooth stabilization observed with ICRF heating has been investigated and found to occur in qualitative agreement with theory. ICRF sawtooth stabilized discharges exhibit peaked temperature and density profiles and have a safety factor q that appears to fall well below unity on axis.

    Notes: A new instrumental method has been devised for the individual, sequential, or collective measurement of the physical and chemical properties of liquids. The instrumental theory for the fiber drop analyzer (FDA) has been developed for the measurement of surface tension, viscosity, refractive index, and chemical composition of a liquid. An empirical theory is suggested for the measurement of pH in a limited range. The analytical theory for the fiber drop analyzer has been established, a prototype constructed and tested for measuring individually surface tension, viscosity, refractive index, and the chemical composition on a restricted set of test solution. The instrument is shown to have the capability to simultaneously measure the above measurands, but in addition can in individual measurement procedures, measure all these quantities. The instrument perhaps is also potentially capable of measuring specific gravity and pH in its existing form, and other optical properties of liquids with some basic modification. The laboratory FDA has been used to test a series of samples from a large cane sugar manufacturer's process and these measurements demonstrate that this technology has the potential to be used as a remote optrode industrial process monitor for sucrose manufacture and very possibly, elsewhere in other industrial applications.

    Notes: Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE) were excited by the energetic neutral beam ions tangentially injected into plasmas at low magnetic field in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) [Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion Research (IAEA, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 51]. The injection velocities were comparable to the Alfvén speed. The modes were identified by measurements from Mirnov coils and beam emission spectroscopy (BES). TAE modes appear in bursts whose repetition rate increases with beam power. The neutron emission rate exhibits sawtoothlike behavior and the crashes always coincide with TAE bursts. This indicates ejection of fast ions from the plasma until these modes are stabilized. The dynamics of growth and stabilization were investigated at various plasma currents and magnetic fields. The results indicate that the instability can effectively clamp the number of energetic ions in the plasmas. The observed instability threshold is discussed in light of recent theories. In addition to these TAE modes, intermittent oscillations at three times the fundamental TAE frequency were observed by Mirnov coils, but no corresponding signal was found in BES. It appears that these high-frequency oscillations do not have a direct effect on the plasma neutron source strength.

    Notes: We have studied the formation of As precipitates in doped GaAs structures that were grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low substrate temperatures and subsequently annealed. We find that the As precipitates form preferentially on the n side of such fabricated GaAs pn junctions. As the coarsening process proceeds, there is a gradual increase in the amount of As in precipitates in the n-GaAs region and a decrease in the p-GaAs region; the depletion region between the pn junction becomes free of As precipitates. These observations can be understood qualitatively based on the charge states of the As interstitial and using thermodynamic arguments in which the crystal attempts to minimize the chemical potential during the anneal. The presence of the excess As results in a stable Be profile even to anneals of 950 °C. Finally, a temperature cycling technique to grow arbitrarily thick GaAs epilayers containing As precipitates was demonstrated.

    Notes: Bismuth-doped lutetium iron garnet (BLIG) is an important material for implementation of the interaction between magnetostatic waves and optical guided modes. Sodium oxide is suggested to reduce the viscosity of the lead-free melt used for liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) growth of the films, improving flux removal. The effect of the incorporation of sodium into the garnet lattice on the important magnetic and magneto-optic properties is studied, using yttrium iron garnet as a model system. Negligible effect on the Faraday rotation and magnetostatic wave passband is noted. The uniaxial anisotropy field is affected in the negative direction by a growth induced anisotropy due to sodium inclusion, but this effect may be removed by annealing.

    Notes: Experiments with coaxial plasma guns at currents in excess of ten megamperes have resulted in the production of high-voltage pulses (0.5 MV) and hard x radiation (10–200 keV). The x-radiation pulse occurs substantially after the high-voltage pulse suggesting that high-energy electrons are generated by dynamic processes in a very high speed ((approximately-greater-than)106 m/s), magnetized plasma flow. Such flows, which result from acceleration of relatively low-density plasma (10−4 vs 1.0 kg/m3) by magnetic fields of 20–30 T, support high voltages by the back electromotive force-u×B during the opening switch phase of the plasma flow switch. A simple model of classical ion slowing down and subsequent heating of background electrons can explain spectral evidence of 30-keV electron temperatures in fully stripped aluminum plasma formed from plasma flows of 1–2 × 106 m/s. Similar modeling and spectral evidence indicates tungsten ion kinetic energies of 4.5 MeV and 46 keV electron temperatures of a highly stripped tungsten plasma.

    Notes: We report far infrared (FIR) studies of plasmons in spatially modulated two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures using biased overlaid metal gratings, including interdigitated gratings, both as optical couplers and as spatially modulating gates. Comparison of the experimental results with the predictions of scattering matrix calculations of the FIR response of a modulated 2DEG in the presence of a perfectly conducting lamellar grating allow us to deduce the spatial variation of the number density distribution in the 2DEG as a function of grating bias. For the interdigitated grating gates, the 2DEG can be modulated at a period of twice that of the grating fingers by differentially biasing alternate fingers; 2D plasmon resonances have been observed at half-integral values of the grating wave vector G, corresponding to the electrically induced periodicity of the 2DEG modulation itself acting as an optical coupler in addition to the metal grating. The observed G/2 plasmon frequencies decrease with increasing amplitude of the 2DEG number density modulation, in quantitative agreement with those obtained from scattering matrix calculations of the optical response of a modulated 2DEG under a perfectly conducting lamellar grating; calculations of the oscillating charge density profiles show that this occurs because, as the modulation amplitude increases, the oscillation becomes localized in regions of low 2DEG number density which are also under one of the sets of grating fingers, and is therefore better screened.

    Notes: Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and spontaneous Raman spectroscopy have been used to obtain vibrational spectra of shock-compressed and static high-pressure fluid nitrogen, respectively. Vibrational frequencies were obtained from the CARS data using a semiclassical model for these spectra. Spontaneous Raman vibrational frequencies were determined by fitting data using a Lorentz-shape line. A functional form was found for the dependence of the vibrational frequency on pressure and temperature to 40 GPa and 5000 K, respectively. By fitting the vibrational data to this form, a pressure scale based on the fluid nitrogen vibron has been calibrated for use at very high temperature. The nitrogen vibron pressure scale was used to determine the fluid-δ nitrogen phase boundary up to 20 GPa and 900 K.

    Notes: We consider in the present paper the quantum-mechanical effects on the equilibrium and dynamical behavior of low-temperature rare-gas clusters. Using a combination of ground-state and finite-temperature Monte Carlo methods, we examine the properties of small (2–7 particles) neon clusters. We find that the magnitude of the equilibrium quantum-mechanical effects in these systems is significant. The present studies also suggest that the low-temperature dynamics of these rare-gas systems is appreciably nonclassical.

    Notes: The J-walking (or jump-walking) method is extended to quantum systems by incorporating it into the Fourier path integral Monte Carlo methodology. J walking can greatly reduce systematic errors due to quasiergodicity, or the incomplete sampling of configuration space in Monte Carlo simulations. As in the classical case, quantum J walking uses a jumping scheme to overcome configurational barriers. It couples the usual Metropolis sampling to a distribution generated at a higher temperature where the sampling is sufficiently ergodic. The J-walker distributions used in quantum J walking can be either quantum or classical, with classical distributions having the advantage of lower storage requirements, but the disadvantage of being slightly more computationally intensive and having a more limited useful temperature range. The basic techniques are illustrated first on a simple one-dimensional double well potential based on a quartic polynomial. The suitability of J walking for typical multidimensional quantum Monte Carlo systems is then shown by applying the method to a multiparticle cluster system consisting of rare gas atoms bound by pairwise Lennard-Jones potentials. Different degrees of quantum behavior are considered by examining both argon and neon clusters. Remarkable improvements in the convergence rate for the cluster energy and heat capacity, analogous to those found in classical systems, are found for temperatures near the cluster transition regions.
