Initial Conditions for the Dynamic Pinch (open access)

Initial Conditions for the Dynamic Pinch

Abstract: "The experimental formation of the dynamic pinch has been an art based upon available electrical condensers, available glass and quartz tubing and an empirically determined gas pressure range. This report attempts to correlate some of this empirical information with the processes of ionization, insulator wall heating, magnetic field penetration, and shock hydrodynamics."

Dissociation of H₂⁺ by Photons (open access)

Dissociation of H₂⁺ by Photons

Abstract: "A measurement was made of the dissociation of vibrationally-excited H2+ ions by photons having quantum energy in the vicinity of 4 e.v. The calculated cross section from theory is 3 x 10-(-18) cm-2. The experimental result is 10-(-17) cm-2; a factor of 10 uncertainty is present because the photon intensity was unknown by that factor."

Utilization of the Surface Tension of Liquid Metals in Making High-Vacuum Seals (open access)

Utilization of the Surface Tension of Liquid Metals in Making High-Vacuum Seals

Abstract: "The free energy (surface tension) of a liquid film can withstand atmospheric pressure across a maximum theoretical gap of 10-(-3) cm between solids if the liquid wets and bridges the sides of the gap continuously. The eutectic alloy of Ga, lm and Sm is used for this purpose. This alloy is molten at room temperature with surface tension > 500 dynes/cm, vapor pressure < 10-(-8) cm at 500 C and excellent wetting properties. This alloy can be utilized in valves, motion seals, flanged joints and for electrical contacts mounted in any position. Using ultrasonic soldering techniques without heat or flux this alloy is readily wetted on W, Mo, Ta, pyrex, quartz and certain ceramics. These materials will withstand the corrosive action of this alloy at at least 400 C. Some de-wetting has been observed with only the nonmetals at high temperatures. This de-wetting may be due to thermal decomposition of gallium oxide. Stainless steel is easily wetted, but is attacked at temperatures above 300 C. Copper and brass are attacked at room temperature."

The Mechanism of Failure in Corona Discharge (open access)

The Mechanism of Failure in Corona Discharge

Abstract: "Experimental evidence is given which indicates that electronic bombardment is responsible for damage and failure of insulating material subjected to intense corona attack. The experimental revolts are further supported by some theoretical considerations of the energy-time properties of corona discharges."

Corrosion of 2-S Aluminum in Potassium Tetraborate Solution (open access)

Corrosion of 2-S Aluminum in Potassium Tetraborate Solution

From summary: "A laboratory test was conducted to determine the feasibility of using an uninhibited solution of potassium tetraborate in steam condensate as a material for a pile ink facility. The evaluation was made from the standpoints of 2-5 aluminum corrosion, the rate and composition of film build-up on aluminum flow surfaces, and the change of solution composition."
