Atomic Energy Levels in Crystals (open access)

Atomic Energy Levels in Crystals

Report discussing discrete energy levels observed within certain crystals which are due to perturbations of energy levels of the free ion by an electrostatic field arising from the crystal lattice. The analytic procedures for determining the field from the charge configuration are given, and the resulting fields are classified according to their symmetry. After a general survey of group-theoretical ideas, the applicable groups are analyzed in detail, and characters appropriate for both integral and half-integral angular momenta of the free ion are tabulated. Text includes tabulations, equations, and matrices using Wigner and Racah coefficients.

Extrusion of I&E ``O`` size tubing to finalize the process. Experiment No. U-31

Work has been progressing on the development of an extrusion process for I&E tubing. The ultimate object of this development project is to compare the extrusion process from a cost standpoint with, the presently used rolling-drilling process. Various experiments have been performed to determine the optimum billet I.D., the proper follower block technique, the proper tooling parameters for the process, and the proper metallurgical structure of the material for optimum results. This extrusion combines many of the past results as a further determination and refinement of the extrusion process to be used in the final semi-production optimization extrusion. The object of this extrusion was to evaluate the resulted of previous extrusion experiments to determine final process conditions prior to an optimization extrusion.
