This article discusses K-shell x-ray production cross sections of Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, and Y for 0.5- to 2.5-MeV alpha particles.

The purpose of this work was to examine the effect of the use the assumption κω2K/ΕCM «1 in calculating K-shell ionization cross sections in the plane wave Born approximation (PWBA) where κω2K is the observed binding energy of the K-shell and ECM is the energy of the incident particle in the center of mass system. Avoiding this assumption produces a threshold for ionization at Ecm = κω2K. Calculations employing the assumption, which leads to the use of approximate limits of integration, do not go to zero for even the .Lowest values of the incident energy.

A high resolution photoconductivity investigation of two 13 -3 photon magneto-absorption (TPMA) in n-InSb (n - 9 x 10 cm ) has been performed. This is the first time that two-photon absorption in a semiconductor has been studied with cw lasers only. With a stable cw CC>2 laser and a highly sensitive sampling and magnetic field modulation technique, a minimum of 4 2 transitions in the TPMA photoconductivity spectra can be observed. Most of these transitions are a result of the usual spherical approximation TPMA selections rules (An =0, ±2; As = 0 for e ⊥ B and Δn = 0; Δs = 0 for e || B) . However, some transitions, in particular several near the TPMA band edge, are not explained by these rules. The TPMA spectra have been found to depend upon crystallographic orientation. This has not been previously observed. The temperature variation of the fundamental energy gap Eg between 2 and 100° K is also obtained from TPMA experiments.
