Preparation of an Experiment to Observe and Measure the P(J) Branch of the 0-1 Band of AIR in Absorption: A Report Submitted in Conjunction with Work Done at the Infrared Spectroscopy Laboratory of The Ohio State University
(Kalamazoo College., 1962)The paper describes the preparation of an experiment to observe and measure some vibration-rotation spectral lines of the diatomic A1H molecule in absorption. -
Electrical Discharges in Air
(Kalamazoo College., 1962-12-01)The subject of the paper is electrical discharges in air. Part I is concerned with the theory of how electrical discharges occur and how a spark forms between two electrodes. Parts II and III are concerned with how a spark ... -
The Mössbauer Fraction for Fe-57 at Room Temperature
(Kalamazoo College., 1962-12-01)Five Mössbauer spectra for FE-57 were accumulated for different values of absorber thicknesses. The areas of transmission dips were determined and by an area ratio method the Mössbauer cross-section was determined. It was ... -
A Study of the Energy Levels in F-17 by the 0-16(d,n)F-17 Reaction
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01)In this study, the energies of the excited states in fluorine 17 nucleus are investigated by bombarding gaseous oxygen with deuterons from tandem Van de Graaf and measuring the energy of the neutrons from the O16(d,n)F17 ... -
A High Pressure System for the Investigation of the Structure of Liquids Using Positron Annihilation
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01) -
An Analysis of Vibrating Bars
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01)The paper investigates the parameters of a transversely vibrating rigid bar under the influence of a periodic driving force through experimental and mathematical analyses. -
Applied Electronics: Construction of an Alternating Square Wave Current Generator for Nuclear Quadropole Resonance Spectroscopy
(1964)This project was assigned and undertaken with two definite ends in view. The first dealt with my interest in the field of applied electronics and my intention to enter this field upon graduation. Unfortunately, my ... -
Laser Induced Evaporation of Carbon for Mass Spectroscopic Study
(1964)This paper will present a study of the problems encountered when focused ruby laser radiation 1s employed as a vaporizing agent to produce metallic vapor for mass spectroscopic analysis. -
Probabilities of Nuclear Energy Level Transitions for Spin, I, Equals 3/2 for the combined Magnetic Dipole and Quadrupole Interaction
(1964)Steffen, Matthias, and Schneider have authored a book of tables entitled "Tables of Eigenvalues and of Eigenvectors of Hamiltonian Describing the Combined Static Magnetic Dipole and Electric Quadrupole Interaction of a ... -
Light Diffraction by Ultrasonic Waves
(1964)In this paper, diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves is examined. The equation for the wavelength of sound in water is derived and the Raman and Nath equations for the intensity distribution due to 1) pure progressive ... -
The Argonne National Laboratory 'Zero-Gradient Synchrotron': A General Survey with a Detailed Discussion of the Piccioni Target
(1964)This paper is by no means intended to be a conclusive and complete report of the Argonne National Laboratory 'Zero Gradient Synchrotron'. Neither my background or the short period of my work there allows such a statement. ... -
Positron and Positronium Annihilation in Liquid Helium at the Lambda Point
(1964)This paper is a result from an experiment that counted and analyzed positron and positronium annihilation events as close as possible above and below the lambda point 2.186 o K in liquid helium. The theory of annihilation, ... -
The Resistance of a Spark
(1964)This paper is the result of three months of research conducted in the physics laboratory at Kalamazoo College. For the allotted time, a judicious choice regarding the general area of spark discharges in which work was ... -
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Cl35 in FeCL2
(1964)This thesis describes an experimental study of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of Cl35 in a single crystal of FeC12. This crystal has an essentially cubic close-packed structure with trigonal distortion and an ... -
A Determination of the Response Characteristics of Underwater Electrostatic Transducers
(1964)High-frequency electrostatic transducers have recently found many applications as transmitters and receivers of ultrasonic waves in gases, in a frequency range extending to one megacycle. The flat response over wide ... -
Determination of Charge of Lambda Hyperfragments
(1965)The present method gives results that are at least acceptable. There are other methods that are better, chiefly: variations on presentation of data, but these are restricted in some way. The results from this method ... -
The Magnetic Core Gyroscope
(1965)In the description of the dynamics of the atomic nucleus, the dimensions of spin and magnetic moment are consistently recurrent. These properties would also be associated with a gyroscope with a magnetic core. It is ... -
Determination of Sound Velocities in Liquids Using Light Diffraction of Ultrasonic Waves
(1965)Previous to the writing of this paper, Paul A. McIntosh, a 1964 Kalamazoo College graduate, examined diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves. More specifically, he derived the equation for the wave1ength of sound in ... -
The Spark Chamber Project
(1965)This paper is based on the development of the spark chamber project at Kalamazoo College. The project was started and developed to the point of a high voltage power supply and a trial "shelf type" spark chamber in 1964 ... -
Measurement of Magnetic Fields Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(1965)The purpose of this thesis was to build and operate a piece of apparatus which would measure the strength of the magnetic field between the pole pieces of magnets. An attempt was made to see if decreasing the size of the ...
