A recording quartz spring balance is described, with which weight changes up to 1000 mg. can be followed linearly on a millivolt recorder for samples weighing up to 10 g. During the recording operation the sample may be under vacuum or pressure and may be heated or cooled. The maximum practical sensitivity is about 20 millivolts per milligram and the over-all error in reading the record is about 1 millivolt. The temperature coefficient of fused quartz springs is reported to be − (1.25 ± 0.02) × 10−4 per degree centigrade in the range 20° to 35 °C.The device could be readily adapted for heavier loads and greater weight changes by using less sensitive springs and could be used for measuring dimensional changes of solids with a maximum sensitivity of at least 2000 mv. per millimeter.

ABSTRACTAblation of ceramic silicon carbide with 351 nm excimer radiation was used to depositSIC films on fused silica and on sapphire. For deposition temperatures above 850° C, diffraction shows the films to be crystalline with the [111] axis preferentially oriented normally to the film. Optical spectra show an indirect energy gap at 2.2 eV, near that for the cubic polytype, although the 200 diffractions are absent. Room temperature resistivities range between .02 to .1 Ωcm. Deposition below 600° C yields amorphous SiC with no diffraction bands, low and variable optical band gap and very high resistivity.

Principal moments of some of the polyatomic single crystals such as ammonium dichromate, ammonium chromate, potassium chromate and potassium permanganate have been determined from room temperature down to liquid air temperature. These have been found to decrease with the decrease of temperature. This variation is smaller in magnitude. It has been observed that the temperature coefficient of the principal moments has almost the same value over the entire range of temperature. This small variation of paramagnetism has been attributed to the variation of absorption frequency in solid state.

The components of the elastic constant matrix of monoclinic caesium dihydrogen phosphate (CDP) have been determined using ultrasonic velocity measurements to be Cl1 = 28� 83 � 0 '43, C22 = 26�67 � O� 37, C33 = 65 �45 � 0'48, C44 = 8 .1O� 0,15, Css = 5 �20� 0,24, C66 = 9�17 � 0,22, C12 = 1l'4�3'6, C13 = 42�87�1�58, CIS = 5'13�0'67, C23 = 14�5�4�4, C 2S = 8'4�4'3, C3S = 7�50�0�81 and C46 = -2�25�0�31 GPa. Calculations of the velocity surfaces, ray directions, Young's modulus surfaces and linear compressibility show marked elastic anisotropy, which has been correlated with the chain and layer-like structure of CDP.
