Properties of 1/f noise (low frequency resistance fluctuations) are analyzed using the results of a number of experiments, several of which are unique to our laboratory. Measurements of thermally activated noise spectral ...

The 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance lines, spin-lattice relaxation times Tl and spin-spin relaxation times T2 of CO chemisorbed on the surface layer of small particles of Pt metal have been observed by the method of spin ...

A study of the A2 meson has been made on data obtained from pi p interactions at 5 BeV/c in the 72"Alvarez liquid hydrogen bubble chamber. The p pi decay mode in the 4-constraint, p pi+ pi- pi- final state is treated ...

Self-consistent unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations are presented for the adsorption of atomic oxygen onto the nickel oxide (100) surface. The perfect surface is shown to be non-reactive, but enhanced binding is found ...

Low Z elements, particularly hydrogen and helium, make up the vast majority of matter in the universe. These elements are observed to exist over the widest known ranges of pressures and temperatures, from interstellar ...

We have measured the absolute 2H( 1 ,p )n angular distribution using the Illinois LASA detector at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory's tagged photon facility. Using 40 to 90 MeV photons, we aimed to measure the ...

Luminescent excitation spectra were measured for the F and M centers in KCl; in particular, for the F band, M band, and the M2 transition. In all 3 cases, the spectra were nearly double-Gaussian in shape, and the efficiency ...

It is generally accepted that many pulsating X-ray sources are rotating magnetic neutron stars undergoing accretion. The text of this thesis provides a historical introduction to four studies, contained herein as appendices, ...
