The pressure-induced infrared absorption of the fundamental band of hydrogen, in the pure gas and in a H2–He mixture, and of deuterium was studied in the temperature range from 18 °K to 77 °K. Path lengths up to 13.6 m at 1 atm or somewhat higher were obtained in a multiple-traversal cell cooled by liquid hydrogen or nitrogen. The binary coefficient [Formula: see text] for hydrogen shows a rise at low temperature, indicating the existence of bound states predicted by theory for the (H2)2 complex. The effect is more pronounced for deuterium. For the H2–He mixture [Formula: see text] decreases monotonically with temperature, thus showing no evidence of bound states for H2–He pairs. Fine structure at the maxima of the pressure-induced band in hydrogen and deuterium gives direct spectroscopic evidence of bound states of (H2)2 and (D2)2 complexes at low temperatures.

AbstractThe isomer shifts of 57Fe and 119Sn in Pd/Fe and Pd/Sn alloys of different compositions have been studied as functions of hydrogen content. In both systems the isomer shifts start to increase steeply at hydrogen contents which bring up the electron concentration in the alloy to 0.55 additional electrons per metal atom (compared to pure Pd). In accordance with results from other experimental methods each Fe atom has been found to donate 3 and each Sn atom 3.5 electrons to the bands of the alloy. The increase of the isomer shift is shown to follow the rise of the Fermi level when the bands are filled up gradually. It can be correlated to Friedel's model of virtual bound states. The results obtained confirm the connections developed earlier between the absorption of hydro-gen and the electronic structure of Pd and its alloys. They agree with conclusions drawn from magnetic behaviour and from electronic specific heats at low temperatures. They do not verify, how-ever, a direct relation to the lattice constants in these systems. It is not yet obvious how to correlate our results with the value of 0.36 d-holes in pure Pd obtained recently from measurements of the de Haas-van Alphen effect; possible deviations from the rigid-band model are discussed.

Recently, several research groups have reported on anomalous enhancement of the self-field critical currents, Ic(sf,T), at low temperatures in superconductor/Dirac-cone material/superconductor (S/DCM/S) junctions. Some papers attributed the enhancement to the low-energy Andreev bound states arising from winding of the electronic wave function around DCM. In this paper, Ic(sf,T) in S/DCM/S junctions have been analyzed by two approaches: modified Ambegaokar-Baratoff and ballistic Titov-Beenakker models. It is shown that the ballistic model, which is traditionally considered to be a basic model to describe Ic(sf,T) in S/DCM/S junctions, is an inadequate tool to analyze experimental data from these type of junctions, while Ambegaokar-Baratoff model, which is generally considered to be a model for Ic(sf,T) in superconductor/insulator/superconductor junctions, provides good experimental data description. Thus, there is a need to develop a new model for self-field critical currents in S/DCM/S systems.

The truncated Dyson-Schwinger–Bethe-Salpeter equations are employed at non-zero temperature. The truncations refer to a rainbow-ladder approximation augmented with an interaction kernel which facilitates a special temperature dependence. At low temperatures, T → 0, we recover a quark propagator from the Dyson-Schwinger (gap) equation smoothly interpolating to the T = 0 results. Utilizing that quark propagator we evaluate the Bethe-Salpeter vertex function in the pseudo-scalar qq̅ channel for the lowest boson Matsubara frequencies and find a competition of qq̅ bound states and quasi-free two-quark states at T = O (100 MeV).

SummaryUsing sophisticated computer programs and elaborate physical models, accurate radiative and collisional atomic data of astrophysical interest have been or are being calculated. The cases treated include radiative transitions between bound states in the 2p4and 2s2p5configurations of many ions in the oxygen isoelectronic sequence, the photoionisation of the ground state of neutral iron, the electron impact excitation of the fine-structure forbidden transitions within the 3p3ground configuration of CℓIII, Ar IV and K V, and the mass-production of radiative data for ions in the oxygen and fluorine isoelectronic sequences, as part of the international Opacity Project.

A few years ago results on cryoprotection of L-valine were reported, where the values of the critical fluence De i.e, the electron exposure which decreases the intensity of the diffraction reflections by a factor e, amounted to the order of 2000 + 1000 e/nm2. In the meantime a discrepancy arose, since several groups published De values between 100 e/nm2 and 1200 e/nm2 /1 - 4/. This disagreement and particularly the wide spread of the results induced us to investigate more thoroughly the behaviour of organic crystals at very low temperatures during electron irradiation.For this purpose large L-valine crystals with homogenuous thickness were deposited on holey carbon films, thin carbon films or Au-coated holey carbon films. These specimens were cooled down to nearly liquid helium temperature in an electron microscope with a superconducting lens system and irradiated with 200 keU-electrons. The progress of radiation damage under different preparation conditions has been observed with series of electron diffraction patterns and direct images of extinction contours.

The goal of imaging the finest detail possible in biological specimens leads to contradictory requirements for the choice of an electron dose. The dose should be as low as possible to minimize object damage, yet as high as possible to optimize image statistics. For specimens that are protected by low temperatures or for which the low resolution associated with negative stain is acceptable, the first condition may be partially relaxed, allowing the use of (for example) 6 to 10 e/Å2. However, this medium dose is marginal for obtaining the contrast transfer function (CTF) of the microscope, which is necessary to allow phase corrections to the image. We have explored two parameters that affect the CTF under medium dose conditions.Figure 1 displays the CTF for carbon (C, row 1) and triafol plus carbon (T+C, row 2). For any column, the images to which the CTF correspond were from a carbon covered hole (C) and the adjacent triafol plus carbon support film (T+C), both recorded on the same micrograph; therefore the imaging parameters of defocus, illumination angle, and electron statistics were identical.

Experiments have been carried out on the 3 MeV electron microscope in Toulouse. The low temperature straining holder has been previously described Images given by an image intensifier are recorded on magnetic tape.The microtensile niobium samples are cut in a plane with the two operative slip directions [111] and lying in the foil plane. The tensile axis is near [011].Our results concern:- The transition temperature of niobium near 220 K: at this temperature and below an increasing difference appears between the mobilities of the screw and edge portions of dislocations loops. Source operation and interactions between screw dislocations of different slip system have been recorded.
