Effect of Long-Range Interactions on Order (open access)

Effect of Long-Range Interactions on Order

Harrison and Paskin (HP) have calculated the ordering energy of β-CuZn using recent theoretical techniques of treating electron screening and Mott's polar model of an alloy. Good agreement is obtained between the calculated total energy of the order-disorder transformation and specific heat measurements. A consequence of the HP calculation is that the ordering energy is long-range and oscillates in sign. Walker and Keating recently measured the neutron diffuse scattering of β-CuZn above the critical temperature Tc and find their data is in agreement with order calculated by only considering a nearest neighbor interaction. Using the Cowley statistical theory of order, we compare the order generated by a nearest-neighbor interaction and the long-range interaction of HP at a temperature 1.1Tc. we find the average behavior of the order generated by the nearest-neighbor and long range interaction to be similar, The major difference is the nearest-neighbor interaction generates order that asymptotically, varies smoothly with neighbor distance whereas the order resulting from the long-range interaction fluctuates markedly about the nearest-neighbor generated order. This result may explain the success of statistical theories, based on nearest-neighbor interactions, in both order-disorder of alloys as well as in some magnetic systems which are also believed to have …

Light-Droven Cytochrome Reactions in Anacystis and Euglena (open access)

Light-Droven Cytochrome Reactions in Anacystis and Euglena

The basic similarity in cytochrome physiology between Anacystis nidulans ad Euglena gracilis, strains Z, is impressive in view of their gross dissimilarities in size, structure, and pigment content. We have investigated the cytochrome reactions by sensitive spectrophotometric methods in order to gain some insight into the patterns of energy transfer from the various light receptors to the reaction centers involved in the two photochemical reactions of green plant photosynthesis and also to elucidate the pathways of photosynthetic electron transfer. The major thrust of this presentation will be the implications of experiments on whole cells in which both wavelength and intensity of monochromatic actinic light have been systematically varied. Some preliminary observations of the effect of carbonyl cyanide-m chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) are presented, and the light-driven reduction of cytochrome b6 in Euglena chloroplast fragments is described.

Manganese Poisoning - New Insights (open access)

Manganese Poisoning - New Insights

The heavy metal intoxications involving the brain may be divided into two groups: One, in which the offending metal is clearly a poison, such as mercury or lead; and a second, in which the offending agent is normally an essential constituent of the body. The latter category would include manganese poisoning, copper poisoning (or Wilson's disease) and, if some recent data are valid, Huntington's chorea, in which iron seems to have been implicated. Our interest in the second category of diseases is due to the fact that these conditions represent special aberrations of normal homeostasis. Homeostasis is the sum of the processes which maintain constant structure, function and constitution in the body and its organs. In manganese poisoning, the homeostatic control is disturbed by virtue of oversupply of this element via an abnormal route (the respiratory tract), while in Wilson's disease homeostasis is disturbed by virtue of genetically transmitted abnormal avidity of the body for dietary copper. In the present paper, we will discuss first some of the clinical features of chronic manganese poisoning in order to raise some questions about extrapyramidal syndrome in general. Thereafter, we will allude to some investigations conducted at this center during the last ten …

A Model for Current Reversal Chronopotentiometry with Kinetic Complications (open access)

A Model for Current Reversal Chronopotentiometry with Kinetic Complications

A model has been developed for the analysis of current reversal chronopotentiograms in systems where the electrode process is followed by a homogeneous second order reaction. The model is analyzed using the IBM 7094 digital computer programed in FORTRAN language. Working curved, derived with the aid of dimensional analysis, can be used to evaluate rate constants from experimental data. The electroreducation of uranium (VI) to uranium (V) with subsequent second order disproportionation of uranium (V) has been studied as an experimental test of the model. Disproportionation rate constants thus obtained are in satisfactory agreement with previously reported values. Other possible applications of the model are discussed.

Neutron Activation Analysis: Clinical and Biological Studies of Manganese (open access)

Neutron Activation Analysis: Clinical and Biological Studies of Manganese

A strong motivation for metabolic investigations of essential metals lies with the simple fact that these elements are primordial metabolites and building blocks of living matter, a truism largely forgotten today. Among them, the metals of the first transition group display high physical and chemical flexibility: They can concomitantly coordinate natural or artificial ligands; they can regulate electron and proton transport; they can act as catalysts or as cofactors to catalysis.

Past Analogue Multipliers with Field-Effect Transistors (open access)

Past Analogue Multipliers with Field-Effect Transistors

The solution time of analogue multipliers using field-effect transistors is investigated. This time is ultimately limited by the charging time of the field-effect transistor junction. In typical devices suitable for analogue multiplication the charging time is found to be about 10-20 nsec less than one percent. A four quadrant pulse amplitude multiplier circuit is described, whose solution time is equal to the field-effect transistor charging time.

Recent Studies on the Experimental Program Requirements for a Super High Energy Accelerator (open access)

Recent Studies on the Experimental Program Requirements for a Super High Energy Accelerator

Brookhaven has sponsored a summer program to study possible experimentation with super-high-energy accelerators of ~ 1000 BeV and to examine the feasibility of colliding beam experiments. A group of about fifty physicists took part in this study program. These investigations are a continuation and supplementary to our previous studies at Brookhaven about two years ago.

The Use of Low Energy Radioactive Isotopes in The Examination of Paintings on Thin Supports (open access)

The Use of Low Energy Radioactive Isotopes in The Examination of Paintings on Thin Supports

The importance of the examination of paper and textile supported art objects by means of low energy X-rays has been ably discussed in the preceding papers of this session. The apparatus used for such radiography, however, has tended to be both expensive and confined to laboratory use. A lack of mobility arises from the weight and size of X-ray apparatus and the fact that its installation frequently requires shielding and special electric power lines. An inexpensive radiographic apparatus that required no special installation or external power and is small and light enough to be easily portable should be quite useful.
