The theory of the angular distribution of alpha particles and of fission fragments from nuclei aligned at low temperatures is presented. Very explicit results are obtained in the high temperature approximation. These are directly dependent upon the branching which takes place to the various allowed partial waves. This branching is influenced by the nuclear shape, but it is shown that for this problem the effect of penetrating a spheroidal barrier is not critical. An application is made to the experimental work so far available and the result is reasonably satisfactory.

ABSTRACTThe influence of growth temperature on oxygen incorporation into GaN epitaxial layers was studied. GaN layers deposited at low temperatures were characterized by much higher oxygen concentration than those deposited at high temperature typically used for epitaxial growth. GaN buffer layers (HT GaN) about 1 μm thick were deposited on GaN nucleation layers (NL) with various thicknesses. The influence of NL thickness on crystalline quality and oxygen concentration of HT GaN layers were studied using RBS and SIMS. With increasing thickness of NL the crystalline quality of GaN buffer layers deteriorates and the oxygen concentration increases. It was observed that oxygen atoms incorporated at low temperature in NL diffuse into GaN buffer layer during high temperature growth as a consequence GaN NL is the source for unintentional oxygen doping.

The traditional method preparing Si3N4/Si2N2O composite ceramic is to sinter α-Si3N4 powder with additives at relatively high temperatures. But the intergranular phase transformed from the sintering additives can degrade the high-temperature mechanical behavior. Amorphous nanoSi3N4 is used to fabricate Si3N4/Si2N2O composite ceramic by its oxidation and nitridation without sintering additives at low temperatures. Thus, it is essential to study the oxidation behavior and mechanism of amorphous nanoSi3N4. Amorphous nanoSi3N4 powders were oxidized in different atmospheres, at varying temperatures and for various different length of time. The oxidation process and products was analyzed by means of XRD, TGA and FTIR. The results showed that amorphous nanoSi3N4 could be oxidized into SiO2 from 600°C to 1300°C. Below 1300°C, the oxidation became serious as the temperature increased. Besides, the longer the oxidation time and the lager the ratio of O2/N2 partial pressure was, the deeper the oxidation level was. When the temperature was above 1300°C, amorphous nanoSi3N4 was completely oxidized into SiO2.

The angular distribution of γ-radiation from an assembly of nuclei oriented by the magnetic h.f.s. method can be very much modified by interactions between the radioactive ions and other paramagnetic ions in the crystal. In order to calculate the effect of these interactions, an operator Γ is derived which represents the angular distribution of γ-rays from a radioactive nucleus. The angular distribution at any temperature is given by Spur(Γρ), where ρ is the statistical matrix [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] being the Hamiltonian for the whole crystal. For a high temperature approximation, ρ is expanded in powers of 1/T. It is found that, for alignment by the magnetic h.f.s. method, the first term which contains interaction parameters is that in 1/T4, and an expression is given for the contribution of interactions to this term.At very low temperatures, perturbation theory is used to estimate the effect of interactions on the lowest nuclear energy state, and hence on the angular distribution of γ-rays. It is found that, if an external magnetic field is applied along a principal axis of the g-tensor of the radioactive ions, interactions have no influence on the angular distribution of γ-rays in the limit of large fields. It is also shown that Bleaney's restriction, that for a successful nuclear orientation experiment the broadening of the levels should be less than the hyperfine splitting, is not necessary in this case.

Angular distribution data for the elastic scattering of 1.37 GeV alpha particles from several nuclei are analyzed in terms of the three parameter strong absorption model of Frahn and Venter. The fits are quite satisfactory over practically the entire angular range and the best fit parameters are obtained. These are used for the study of the inelastic scattering of alpha particles leading to the collective states in nuclei. A reasonably good fit is obtained without any adjustment of the parameters suggesting thereby the success of the strong absorption model. Deformation parameters are extracted for the collective states in nuclei. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 40(2): 249-258, December 2014

ABSTRACT The conserved chaperone Hsp31 of Escherichia coli is transcribed at low temperatures by σS and repressed by H-NS, whereas at high temperature, transcription is by σ70 independently of both σS and H-NS. Here we present evidence for an additional, novel, temperature-dependent control of Hsp31 expression by increased transcript stability.

High-temperature forging experiments have been carried out by axial compression testing on a Fe–41Al–2Cr alloy in order to determine the deformation systems operating under such high-speed, high-temperature conditions, and to examine the textures produced by such deformation and during subsequent annealing to recrystallize. Deformation is deduced to take place by the operation of 〈111〉 {110} and 〈111〉{112} slip systems at low temperatures and by 〈100〉{001} and 〈100〉{011} slip systems at high temperatures, with the formation of the expected strong 〈111〉 textures. The examination of the weak 〈100〉 texture component is critical to distinguishing the operating slip system. Both texture and dislocation analyses are consistent with the operation of these deformation systems. Recrystallization takes place extremely quickly at high temperatures (above 800 °C), that is within seconds after deformation and also dynamically during deformation itself. Recrystallization changes the texture such that 〈100〉 textures superimpose on the deformation texture. The flow stress peak observed during forging is found at a very high temperature. Possible origins of the peak are examined in terms of the operating slip systems.
