    Notes: A novel scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is described which is constructed almost entirely of aluminum and uses bimorph piezoelectric disks as the x,y,z drive elements. The design uses a simple, rugged tripod configuration for the fine motion drive arms. Coarse motion of the sample, which is mounted on an aluminum holder, is achieved by pushing or pulling, with a piezoelectric louse. Differential thermal expansion effects are avoided by design, to first order, and the resulting drift is ≤0.5 A(ring)/min after only a short warm-up period. It is easy to build and operate, and has good immunity to mechanical vibrations. The frequency response is flat to 5 kHz. The x,y,z drive sensitivity is 8 A(ring)/V and the range is ≥12000 A(ring). Some preliminary experimental results are presented, including atomic resolution images in air, of graphite and NbSe2.

    Notes: We describe an experimental setup in which resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) is used for diagnosis of neutral particles (atoms or molecules) effusing from a plasma. Quantum-state-specific detection, achieved by selective ionization with the help of REMPI, yields the distribution over their internal degrees of freedom. Discrimination against nonlaser-produced ions is performed by means of the combination of an electric and a magnetic field. The applicability of the setup is demonstrated by the determination of the rotational temperature of ground-state hydrogen molecules in a multicusp ion source. Under nondischarge conditions a detection limit is achieved of ≈2×1010 state-selected hydrogen molecules/cm3, corresponding to a value of ≈7×108/cm3 at the analysis region. Under discharge conditions, this detection limit is deteriorated by the presence of metastable hydrogen molecules, which are ionized in a one-photon process.

    Notes: Proton yields in magnetic multipole sources can be increased by the creation of a magnetic "filter'' within the discharge volume, although this may introduce nonuniformity in the plasma. We have investigated the properties of a filter which can satisfy the requirements of plasma uniformity and discharge electrical efficiency and creates a proton yield of 87% when a 60-A beam is extracted at 80 keV. A model describing the behavior of the filter is also described.

    Notes: An ac technique is described for measuring low-frequency resistance fluctuation spectra with improved sensitivity over dc methods achieved by avoiding preamplifier 1/f noise. The technique, easily implemented with decade resistors and a lock-in amplifier, allows the current noise of low-resistance (r〈10 kΩ) specimens to be measured to frequencies below 1 mHz. Use of a center-tapped, four-probe specimen geometry allows discrimination between specimen and contact noise and eliminates noise due to bath temperature variations. The technique is demonstrated in use to determine the dependence of the 1/f noise of Cr films on film area. Measurements with simultaneous direct and alternating currents provide means to study the noise of nonlinear devices and frequency-dependent conductors.

    Notes: Semiconducting Peltier devices are used as heat sources and sinks to apply sinusoidally varying temperature versus time profiles through square sheets of material. The thermal diffusivity may be determined by recording the temperature as a function of time at the interfaces of a stack of two or three sample sheets. The design of the experimental rig is described and its use is illustrated. The thermal diffusivity of a variety of poorly conducting materials such as ceramics and polymers, having a wide range of values of thermal diffusivity, may be measured using this approach by merely selecting the frequency and amplitude to allow for the thickness and material so as to be able to resolve the temperature phase differences and amplitudes at the junctions of the sheets. In this case, the technique is applied to the determination of thermal diffusivity of polyethylene by way of illustration of the method. Reproducibility and precision achieved throughout the temperature range 4–46 °C used was found to be no better than ±5%, but precision could be improved by interfacing the equipment with a computer. Good agreement was obtained with published values of thermal diffusivity.

    Notes: A transceiver which is capable of observation of spectral widths of 1.6 MHz has been constructed as an accessory to a Bruker WH-400 NMR spectrometer. This device permits observation of the NMR resonances of solid-state quadrupolar nuclei, which may contain frequency components more than 1 MHz away from their fundamental precession frequencies. The transceiver contains its own frequency generation section, which employs the host spectrometer's master phase reference and synthesizer. The NMR signal undergoes image rejection mixing to an intermediate frequency above the observation band, and quadrature phase detection before final amplification with video speed operational amplifiers in the receiver section. Dual 8-bit, video speed digitizers feed the converted data to dual 16 kword deep buffers that can accept data at a rate of 4 Msamples/s. A slower data output rate is governed by the Bruker Aspect host computer. The noise figure of the device is 1.8 dB, with a sensitivity of at least −71 dBm and a recovery time of approximately 1 μs for linear amplification to resume after an excitation pulse.

    Notes: A method is developed to detect electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) transient signals with frequency components in the range from dc to 1 MHz and a low initial signal-to-noise ratio (e.g., 0.1 after one sweep). This method uses 200-kHz magnetic field modulation on a conventional EPR spectrometer, using a modified lock-in detector: the tuned amplifier is replaced by a broadband preamplifier with a high-pass filter and the low-pass filter of the lock-in detector is replaced by a broadband amplifier. The transients are generated incoherently from the magnetic field modulation, and subsequently averaged. The function of the (removed) low-pass filter is taken over by the averaging. An instrumental response time of less than 1 μs is obtained. This was determined by measuring the rise time of the triplet state of the photosynthetic reaction center of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R-26 at 165 K. This method, direct detection, and high-frequency (1–2 MHz) modulation are discussed. The S/N ratio of the method described in this paper is similar to that of the other two methods. However, when large linewidths (〉0.5 mT) are met, it gives a superior S/N ratio as compared to high-frequency (1–2 MHz) modulation methods, due to the higher maximum modulation amplitude. When the transients of interest contain frequency components in the low-frequency noise regime (dc–50 kHz), the described method is to be preferred over direct detection because of its better S/N ratio.

    Notes: A newly designed stator assembly for cylindrical spinners used in magic-angle spinning nuclear-magnetic-resonance experiments is described. Separate driving and bearing gas chambers allow variable and stable spinning speeds, and this design permits easy starting and stopping of the rotor. Isolation of the chambers is achieved with the application of pressure screws rather than O rings or glue lines to avoid leakage at high gas pressures. The overall dimensions are optimal to facilitate easy assembly. Some significant modifications have been made to an earlier spinner design. These improvements give better efficiency and concentricity of the spinner. Applications are illustrated with carbon-13 cross polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) spectra carried out at different rotor spinning rates.

    Notes: The pseudorandom method for time-of-flight analysis has the advantage over the conventional method of a greatly improved efficiency, but, according to previous theory, the disadvantage that the time resolution is worse. Here we present an improved theory of pseudorandom modulation. We show that the resolution of this method and the conventional method are identical. This conclusion is in agreement with experimental results. The difference between the previously given and present treatment of the pseudorandom method for time-of-flight analysis is discussed. We show that the treatment given previously does not apply to a possible, real experiment, but only to the nonphysical case of an infinitely good time resolution. Second, we show that the additional broadening which was found previously for the pseudorandom method is not inherent to the method, but is due to a nonoptimal choice of the deconvolution function.

    Notes: A Fabry–Perot interferometer constructed with a pellicle beam splitter can be used as a sensitive microphone. Pressure disturbances inside the interferometer cavity alter the mirror separation, thereby changing the optical interference pattern. The optoacoustic effect can be detected in a cell attached to the Fabry–Perot interferometer by monitoring the change in intensity of the central interference fringe.

    Notes: The wiggler provides a substantially higher flux of photons through a given collimator at high energies than is available from the bending magnet at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. This opens a new dimension in ultrapressure x-ray diffraction studies. Examples are shown in which a good diffraction pattern of gold at 112 GPa (1.12 Mbar) was obtained in 13 s and in which the diffraction pattern for primitive hexagonal silicon at 35 GPa using the beam from the wiggler contains twice as many peaks as is the case for the beam from the bending magnet.

    Notes: The design of a sensitive pulsed photoacoustic spectrometer system for studying media in gaseous phase in the visible and ultraviolet regions is described. The system provides for simultaneous recording of the laser absorption spectrum of the sample by measuring the radiation transmitted through the sample cell. A highly sensitive optogalvanic detection subassembly for recording the calibration spectrum and analog signal processing/averaging electronics including gated integrators also form part of the system. Typical sensitivities of detection are a few tens of picobar acoustic pressure disturbances induced through two-photon absorption in iodine vapor in the sample cell and 0.1 pC charge fluctuation induced in the neon/uranium hollow cathode discharge through optogalvanic effect. Typical recordings of the photoacoustic, laser absorption, and two-photon photoacoustic spectra of the saturated vapor of iodine at room temperature in the presence of air at atmospheric pressure are presented together with the optogalvanic calibration spectra.

    Notes: The design, construction, and performance of a new high-sensitivity dc SQUID magnetometer, covering a circular area of 93-mm diameter, is described. The device, now used routinely in our brain research, comprises seven asymmetric first-order gradiometers, located on a spherical surface of 125-mm radius and with the symmetry axis tilted 30° with respect to the vertical. The pickup coil diameter is 20 mm, and the channels are separated by 36.5 mm from each other in a hexagonal array. The overall field sensitivity of the system, measured inside our magnetically shielded room, is 5 fT/(Hz)1/2, mainly limited by the thermal noise in the radiation shields of the Dewar. The optimization of the coil configuration and the measurement system is discussed in detail, and a system to determine automatically the position and orientation of the Dewar with respect to certain fixed points on the subject's head is described. Finally, some examples of measurements carried out with the new device are given.

    Notes: The detector of the IMST/SA-CNRS improved Lyman-alpha hygrometer is a solar-blind photomultiplier tube that ensures large signal-to-noise ratio and allows a miniaturization of the sampling volume. This PM tube has a relatively large spectral response and can detect, in addition to the Lyman-alpha line, hydrogen molecular transitions emitted by the discharge source between 120 and 180 nm. In order to avoid a spurious sensitivity to oxygen density fluctuations, an active filtering cell is added to absorb the undesired lines. The instrument sensitivity is calculated with the help of a two-gas, three-spectral-line UV-beam absorption model, fitted to calibration measurements. The technique of the active filtering associated with the three-line absorption model produces the following advantages: (1) reduced sensitivity to oxygen fluctuations, (2) a clear physical meaning to the model terms allowing the sensitivity computation in most conditions, (3) increased signal-to-noise ratio, and (4) in most conditions, improved sensitivity to water vapor compared to the monochromatic Lyman-alpha line.

    Notes: The ring wire, a circular hot-wire anemometer probe, orientated normal to the flow, is useful to measure turbulent scales in the dissipative range. It is less sensitive to angular positioning errors than straight wire sensors. Following the rationale of Wyngaard [J. Phys. E. 52, 1, 1105 (1968)], theoretical expressions are derived for the high wave number attenuation due to spatial resolution (line averaging). The expressions are applied to the estimation of longitudinal velocity spectrum and dissipation rate. The ring wire is shown to present much smaller attenuations than the straight wire of the same length or, inversely, to have a much higher sensitivity and frequency response than the straight wire of similar spatial resolution. The theoretical results are confirmed by experimental data.

    Notes: A scanning tunneling microscope capable of operating at low temperatures, T=400 mK, and in high magnetic fields, B=8 T, is described. Accompanying electronics, under the control of an IBM PC/AT, provide routine spatially resolved spectroscopy, allowing characterization of properties such as superconducting energy gaps and local density of states on the surface. Data are presented to illustrate the usefulness of spatially resolved spectroscopy at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields.

    Notes: The concept of a spatial frequency-dependent, detective quantum efficiency [=DQE( f )] is applied to the performance assessment of a prototype parallel detection system for electron energy-loss spectrometry. The various factors which determine DQE( f ) in such a system are discussed and comparisons are made with a serial detection system. Also, the effects of the electron source energy spread on the overall spectrometer DQE( f ) are discussed. In these examples, the clear importance of including the spatial frequency dependence of DQE is demonstrated.

    Notes: The N2F4+H2 system is of interest for production of NF(a1Δ) as an energy-transfer species. Past studies have been plagued with the difficult NF(a1Δ) quantitative measurement due to interferences from the close-lying N2(B) and HF peaks. This paper deals with the development of a scanning diagnostic method to determine concentrations of NF(a1Δ) and NF(b1Σ) in the N2F4+H2 system and quantitative measurement of interferences with the diagnostic signal. The diagnostic method has been applied to a functioning high-pressure, high-temperature system.

    Notes: In this article, we present observed characteristics of new lithium-free scintillation glasses which have been developed to make time-resolved measurements of the 14-MeV neutron flux from deuterium plasmas. These measurements will yield information on the burnup of tritons in today's deuterium plasmas and are needed to better predict the confinement and slowdown of alpha particles in future D–T burning plasmas. The new glasses were formulated to have good detection efficiency for 14-MeV neutrons, and yet be insensitive to 2.5-MeV and lower-energy neutrons. The glass response to alpha, gamma, and neutron radiation is shown. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the scintillation glass is seen to increase significantly as a function of neutron energy, providing the necessary discrimination against low-energy neutrons. We discuss the reactions which determine the glass neutron response and suggest that this response is dominated at higher neutron energies by gamma rays created by neutrons inelastically scattering from oxygen present in the glass. For high-energy neutron detection in the presence of excessive background gamma radiation, we discuss a new coincidence configuration of lithium-free scintillation glass with NE213 liquid scintillator.

    Notes: A 1.5-tonne Nb gravitational radiation antenna is described. Problems associated with a noncontacting magnetically levitated parametric upconverter transducer are discussed, and a system using a bonded microwave reentrant cavity and bonded mechanical impedance transformer is described and analyzed in detail. It is shown that such an antenna can be expected to achieve a noise temperature of ∼1 mK. An ultralow phase noise tunable microwave source for the transducer pump signal is described, as well as precision bonding techniques which yield a mechanical positioning accuracy of 10−6 m, and a reproducibility of 10−8 m.

    Notes: A highly sensitive, adiabatic titration calorimeter controlled by a personal computer is described. Operation of the entire calorimetric titration is automated, including the thermoelectric offset of the heat of stirring, the electrical calibration of the heat capacity, the addition of titrant, and the measurement of the heat of reaction. The average uncertainty in heat measurements was ≈±0.003 J for titrant additions generating 0.025 to 1.0 J of heat change in a 50-ml sample. Calibration of the calorimeter using tris-(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane [TRIS] gave excellent agreement with previously published values.

    Notes: The dynamic response of the platinum thin-film thermometer has been investigated. Our experimental results indicate that details of the probe form significantly affect the velocity scaling relationship for these probes. In particular, the theoretical relationship appears appropriate for probes with hemispherical tips with the thin film in the stagnation region, whereas the conical-tip probes in common usage deviate from the theory and require an empirical scaling relationship.

    Notes: A novel two-dimensional position-sensitive detection system has been designed, built, and tested. It has a relatively short processing time (900 ns) which enables countrates up to 105–106/s. The detector has a ring-shaped geometry. Both polar coordinates can be determined with an accuracy better than 1%. Although intended for use in an ion scattering spectrometer, the system can also be used for detection of other atomic particles or photons.

This modified version of the apparatus is highly sensitive and at the same time easy to handle. Additionally, it presents the advantage of reducing errors from absorption, divergence, and inaccurate coaxiality of both laser beams in the measuring cell.

    Notes: Alpha particle bombardment of a Si surface-barrier detector in vacuum causes the release of several species of ions from the contaminant layer on the detector surface. The mass-to-charge ratios of the ions are determined by time-of-flight spectroscopy. A significant fraction of the ions are H+ with a yield of 4×10−5 H+ per alpha particle and an emission energy of less than 70 eV. This ion source could be useful for testing slow μ+ collection optics and possibly for studying the diffusion of H atoms in liquid He.

    Notes: A time-resolved measurement of an impulsive ion source has been carried out by developing a detector consisting of a magnetic energy analyzer and a microchannel plate (MCP) with multianodes. A method to calibrate the electron multiplication factor of the MCP for charged particles using a solid-state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) is presented. The method has been successfully used for the energy analysis of the deuteron beam produced by the plasma focus. The method is applicable not only for deuterons but also for any other energetic charged particles.

    Notes: A new approach to the design of a fiber-optic interface that links a commercial sampling head to its matching time-domain reflectometer (TDR)/sampler oscilloscope plug-in unit is reported. Three fiber-optic links replace the wired signal paths of the original design that convey the vertical error signal, the feedback signal, and the horizontal sampling command signal between the sampling head and the oscilloscope sampling plug-in. The dielectric fiber pigtails allow the use of the sampling head inside objects that need to be electromagnetically insulated from the instrumentation system. Low-frequency analog links are used to convey the error and feedback signals. The sampling command signal is conveyed via a link where a powerful, fast-rise infrared laser pulse is generated. The laser pulse is used to trigger an avalanche transistor in the strobe generator circuit of the sampling head by directly coupling the optical energy to the transistor chip. This direct method of detection minimizes the time jitter introduced to the strobe signal, resulting in a bandwidth of 4 GHz. Some of the results of the tests which were carried out on the system are reported.

    Notes: A thermometer is described which employs luminescence emitting molecular sensors to measure temperatures in the cryogenic range below 20 K. Upon photoexcitation, the molecular sensor emits luminescence from an excited spin state having two optically resolved sublevels. The sublevels are in thermal equilibrium due to rapid spin-lattice relaxation and thus act as a two-level radiator whose relative luminescence intensities vary with temperature according to the Boltzmann population equation. A device is described which employs photon-counting techniques to measure the intensity ratio of the luminescence originating from these two levels and then uses this ratio to calculate the temperature of the sensor and thereby of its surroundings. The device employs remote fiber-optic sensing and is independent of fluctuations in the excitation source or in the detection system efficiency since it monitors the intensity ratio of two emission bands. Since this temperature measurement technique is based on photophysical and thermodynamic properties of a well-defined system, the molecular sensors employed need not be individually calibrated, only the response curve of the device needs to be determined.

Simplicity and ruggedness make the radiometer well suited for measuring output of radiant heaters in hostile factory environments.

    Notes: Usually the side walls of a rectangular cavity are less than one skin depth thick at the field-modulation frequency. Eddy current creates an opposing magnetic field to the incoming modulation field, which tends to reduce the field at the center of the cavity. Moreover if the walls of the cavity are kept thin, interaction of eddy currents and the static magnetic field will create mechanical vibrations that will modulate the microwave frequency, thus generating spurious signals at the output of the amplifier. In this note a cavity for X band (in 9–10 GHz) is described in which the above problems have been overcome by corrugating the cavity walls in a precise manner. In comparison with a thin sidewall, the EMF that drives the eddy currents remains unchanged, but because the resistance increases, the eddy currents decrease.

    Notes: A nozzle valve having a programmable opening time has been realized and tested. Its working principle differs from those used before in similar devices. In a preliminary version, the valve has been shown to be able to deliver gas pulses having a rise time of about 45 μs and a variable time length from 250 μs (FWHM) to continuum. It can also be operated as a beam chopper with frequency in the range 0–270 Hz and a variable duty factor. The valve does not generate either rf disturbances or appreciable current spikes in the ground network. It is a simple construction device and does not require a critical setup.

    Notes: A K-band receiver using cooled high-electron mobility-transistor (HEMT) amplifiers was developed at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO). Remarkable reduction of receiver noise temperature Trec was obtained when it was cooled down to cryogenic temperature. The lowest Trec of 75 K was obtained at 23.4 GHz. This low noise characteristic reveals that the cooled HEMT amplifier is promising as a sensitive receiver for radio astronomical observations.

    Notes: A new type Langmuir trough has been constructed, in which a monolayer on water is enclosed by four polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tapes, independently movable, floating on the water. This arrangement allows a uniform film compression and a study of the stress inhomogeneity under purely compressional or shear strain. The system does not require a delicate water level adjustment. It is capable of sustaining a high surface pressure and easy to operate.

    Notes: In this paper a new circuit design for automatic electrostatic vibroscopes is presented. Previously, the component which stabilized the self-oscillatory motion of the filament in the feedback loop of electrostatic vibroscopes was a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. In the present system this device is replaced with a programmable analog compander. This modification represents an improvement because response time is faster, the steady-state conditions are more stable, and the overall performance of the vibroscope is less susceptible to errors caused by changes in environmental conditions.

    Notes: Preparation of thermometers from carbon composition resistors to avoid large changes during repeated thermal cycling is discussed. Furthermore, it is found that the expression 1/(T)1/2 =A+B ln(R−R0)+C ln2(R−R0)+D ln3(R−!iR0) R−R0) provides a very good description of the thermometer temperature T as a function of device resistance R. Fitting accuracies of δT〈1 mK at cryogenic temperatures are achieved. The value of R0 can be chosen so that the residual errors are not more than 10 K even up to room temperature.

The maximum value of Te along the line of observation can be derived from the slope of ln E1/2I vs E plot, where I is the chordal x-ray intensity and E is photon energy. The method is applied to obtain the value of Te from the soft x-ray measurement on ST tokamak.

    Notes: A new type of instrument has been designed and constructed to measure quantitatively the gas phase species evolving during thermal decompositions. These measurements can be used for understanding the kinetics of thermal decomposition, determining the heats of formation and vaporization of high-temperature materials, and analyzing sample contaminants. The new design allows measurements to be made on the same time scale as the rates of the reactions being studied, provides a universal detection technique to study a wide range of compounds, gives quantitative measurements of decomposition products, and minimizes interference from the instrument on the measurements. The instrument design is based on a unique combination of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and modulated beam mass spectroscopy (MBMS) which are brought together into a symbiotic relationship through the use of differentially pumped vacuum systems, modulated molecular beam techniques, and computer control and data-acquisition systems. A data analysis technique that calculates partial pressures in the reaction cell from the simultaneous microbalance force measurements and the modulated mass spectrometry measurements has been developed. This eliminates the need to know the ionization cross section, the ion dissociation channels, the quadrupole transmission, and the ion detector sensitivity for each thermal decomposition product prior to quantifying the mass spectral data. The operation of the instrument and the data analysis technique are illustrated with the thermal decomposition of contaminants from a precipitated palladium powder.

    Notes: We describe the design and development of a large format 40-mm active diameter imaging photon detector. The design comprises an S20 semitransparent photocathode proximity focused onto a stack of two microchannel plates clamped back to back having channel length to diameter ratios of 80:1. Event readout is facilitated by a circular arc terminated resistive anode. The theoretical performance of the design is discussed with reference to gain measurements of the microchannel plates. Experimental results give an optimum position resolution of 100 μm which is spatially nonuniform and degrades towards the edge of the imaging field. We discuss the role of signal processing in this nonuniformity and describe design modifications which would achieve optimum imaging performance.

    Notes: A high-wavelength resolution (Δλ≤0.02 A(ring)) spectroscopic apparatus has been developed and applied to the measurements of spectral line profiles emitted by thermonuclear plasmas yielding important plasma parameters, such as ion temperature and fluid velocity. The experimental apparatus consists of a spectrometer, an optical multichannel analyzer (OMA), and a lens. It allows precise wavelength measurements (Δλerror≤0.02 A(ring)) when a computer and a ThI electrodeless discharge lamp (EDL) are used to calibrate the instrument. The apparatus yields single-shot space and time-resolved spectra for radiation in the 2000–8000-A(ring) range.

    Notes: Conventional apparatus for the dipping and raising of slides usually uses an electric motor with the slides fixed in a rigid holder. Most of the devices create a great deal of vibrations and this produces a nonuniform film deposition. We have used a new apparatus, which does not produce any vibrations of the slide, to build up Langmuir–Blodgett films. To move the slide, we employ a column of water and use the siphon principle, with speeds that can be varied between 3.0 and 120.0 mm min−1. An electronic circuit controls the automatic dipping and raising of the slide. A relay switches the solenoid valve to move the piston in the opposite direction. A machined Teflon trough and antivibration mount are used for the monolayer preparation. With this method, the deposition ratio usually obtained for the cadmium arachidate and chlorophyll a is 1.00±0.05. The absorption spectrum of multilayers of chlorophyll a give a linear relation between the absorbance at 680 nm and the number of layers up to 10. The nonlinear relation for the number of layers higher than 10 is explained by the presence of aggregates.

    Notes: Clean Viton and Viton coated with Apiezon-L vacuum grease were tested for their noncontaminating compatibility with channel electron multipliers (CEMs). The test setup and procedure were the same as those used previously in conjunction with CEM compatibility tests of certain epoxies, solder, and fluorocarbon polymer materials useful for construction of spaceflight sensors. While some CEM gain degradation was noted during exposure to Viton and Apiezon-L, the present tests indicate that, at least over instrument lifetimes of ∼2×1012 counts, these materials should be suitable for (1) preflight space sensor testing systems, (2) hermetic seals for CEM-based space sensors, and (3) terrestrial CEM-based instrumentation.

    Notes: We have designed a low-loss dielectric sample holder for positioning very thin, metallic, semiconductor samples in a TE102 cavity for ESR studies at liquid-helium temperatures. The sample holder can be rotated ±15° from the center position, allowing accurate positioning of the high-conductivity sample at minimum electric field. This results in maximizing the Q factor and allowing symmetric excitation on both faces of the sample. We have also devised a method of setting the microwave phase to desired value to better than 0.3° by utilizing the hyperfine lines of a dilute As-doped Si sample.

    Notes: A polarization modulation microscope designed to detect and spatially resolve the distribution of optically anisotropic domains in microscopic objects is described. An image dissector camera is used as the detection device. The polarization of the light is modulated by means of a photoelastic modulator and a synchronous demodulation amplifier (lock-in) is utilized to obtain the difference image between the images formed using two orthogonal forms of the incident polarization on the sample. Preliminary results are described for the linear dichroism imaging measurements of polymerized hemoglobin (HbS) in red blood sickle cells. The present limitations of this design are discussed along with various strategies to improve its performance.

    Notes: A new method for rapidly acquiring fluorescence spectra from optical probes using an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) has been developed. The AOTF consists of a piezoelectric transducer bonded to a birefringent crystal. Acoustic waves are generated in the crystal by an applied radio frequency. For a given radio frequency, only a narrow band of optical frequencies will be diffracted. Unlike normal Bragg diffraction which can only be used with collimated light, the AOTF has a large angular aperture (up to 28 deg) and can therefore be coupled to an uncollimated broadband white light source, photomultiplier tube, or camera. Using the device and a xenon–mercury arc lamp, excitation and emission spectra of the fluorescent pH probe BCECF were acquired in 17 ms (spectral resolution=4 nm). Rapid wavelength switching or modulation of selected wavelengths was achieved at ∼105 Hz. The device is also capable of spectral imaging with a spatial resolution of greater than 100 lines/mm.

    Notes: A CO2 laser small-angle scattering experiment has been set up and used for the investigation of plasma density fluctuations in a magnetized plasma. The local oscillator reference beam for homodyne mixing is produced by diffraction from a thin tungsten wire which lies in the main probe beam near the scattering center. The diffraction wire produces a diffraction pattern covering the scattering plane. An angular adjustment of one single mirror in the outgoing probe beam permits easy alignment of different scattering angles and scattering directions. Rayleigh scattering of ultrasonic waves has been used for testing and calibrating the scattering system. First results from plasma measurements are presented.

It employs the technique of frequency tripling in a pulsed free jet of gas, and requires a single tunable laser system. Spectra of the relative XUV output vs wavelength in the 904–1024-A(ring) range are presented for the tripling gases Ar, Kr, Xe, CO, and N2. Also listed are relative outputs obtained by tripling at resonantly enhanced lines between 720 and 900 A(ring) in Kr, Xe, and CO. Possible improvements to the source are discussed, and examples of its application are given.

    Notes: A thermally assisted laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection system is developed to measure two-dimensional spatial profiles of number density of alkali atoms seeded in an open-cycle MHD generator, especially in the boundary layer on channel electrodes. The spatial resolution of this system is evaluated to be 1.3 mm. To assess the system, the LIF intensity from Na atoms used as a seed tracer is measured in a laminar air-acetylene flame. The detected spatial profiles of the intensity show good agreement with those of the number density of sodium atoms measured by the spectral line absorption method. The LIF intensity near the surface of a cooled metal piece placed in the acetylene flame is also measured with this system as a preliminary experiment for applying it to the boundary layer on MHD channel electrodes.

    Notes: A fiber-optic pressure sensor is described which uses a diaphragm to modulate the mirror separation of a Fabry–Perot cavity (the sensing cavity). A multimode optical fiber delivers broadband light to the sensing cavity and returns the spectrally modulated light which the cavity reflects. The sensor's output spectrum is analyzed using a tunable Fabry–Perot cavity (the reference cavity) to determine the mismatch in the mirror separations of the two cavities. An electronic servo control uses this result to cause the mirror separation of the reference cavity to equal that of the sensing cavity. The displacement of the pressure-sensing diaphragm is then obtained by measuring the capacitance of the reference cavity's metal-coated mirrors. Relative to other fiber-optic sensors, an important advantage of this instrument is its high immunity to the effects of variations in both the transmissivity of the fiber link and the wavelength of the optical source.

We believe this is the first observation of Raman scattering in either of these environments, both of which are normally inaccessible with optical Dewars. The portable head has a 1-cm o.d. and permits measurements longitudinal and transverse to the applied magnetic field. Observation of spin-flip Raman scattering from donor bound magnetic polarons in (Cd, Mn)Se demonstrates this system at the extremes of both magnetic field and temperature.

    Notes: An acousto-optic rf spectrometer (AOS) has been designed and constructed for use on the CONSTANCE B and TARA mirror experiments at MIT. The AOS is an analog preprocessor of data that can come from a variety of sources, including rf probes and microwave/laser scattering experiments. The output of the AOS is the Fourier transform amplitude of the input in a parallel format suitable for computer acquisition. The spectrometer, having a bandwidth of 500 MHz and a resolution of 1 MHz, together with its receiver, is capable of looking at fluctuations anywhere in the frequency range of a few MHz up to 4 GHz. Power levels of a few nanowatts can be detected. Complete 500-MHz-wide spectra can be processed and acquired at the rate of 1 every 10 μs. The optical components, receiver, and data-acquisition interface will be discussed, and initial data taken on the CONSTANCE B experiment will be shown.

    Notes: We present a solution to the lock-in detection method which is valid for arbitrary values of the modulation frequency. Our solutions agree with the results of the quasistatic theory, in the limit of small modulation frequency compared to the resonance linewidth.

    Notes: The four barrel pneumatic pellet injector originally used on the Alcator C tokamak at MIT has been reconfigured for use on the ZT-40M reversed field pinch (RFP) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The lower temperature and density in this device require operation at velocities significantly lower than on Alcator. Allowing a 2-s warmup prior to firing the injector has enabled operation with pressures as low as 40 psig and velocities ranging as low as 200 m/s with H2 pellets, without major cryostat modification. Initial injection experiments in the ZT-40M plasma have verified that pellet refueling is effective for density control, but the net particle inventory increase is less than might be expected based on simple models. Indications of nonoptimal penetration and curvature of the pellet trajectory, in addition to comparable time scales for particle confinement and pellet transit, may account for this.

    Notes: The design and construction of a unique and precision pressure cell suitable for use in light-scattering experiments has been described. The cell has been adapted to allow scattering experiments from liquid samples. The optics of the cell has been especially designed to obtain a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The cell has been designed to be small and compact with sample volume ∼40 mm3. However, it still has a large heat capacity (∼250 J/K) which ensures easy and stable temperature control of the sample. The cell can sustain hydrostatic pressure up to 1000 bar and temperature up to 150 °C. When operated in the constant temperature and pressure mode it offers long-time (∼16 h) temperature and pressure stability of ±2 mK and ±0.05%, respectively, in this entire range.

    Notes: Using a computer interfaced original apparatus, we can analyze the fluorescence decay time of a single living cell. This apparatus can measure rate constants in the range of one to few hundred nanoseconds. The smallest sample analyzed was 5×5×5 μm. We obtained enough sensitivity to measure the fluorescence of about 105 molecules of benzo(a)pyrene with a signal/noise ratio equal to 5. The signal was then defined with 300 points and experiment was 60 s long with a laser pulse frequency equal to 100 Hz. Distortions were less than 3% of the signal. Different kinds of information became accessible: statistical comparison on cellular populations and variation with time of studied parameters. As an example of applications, the intrinsic cell fluorescence has been analyzed in order to determine the amounts of bound and free NAD(P)H in single living cells.
