The low-temperature recovery of the electrical resistivity increment Δρ0 produced by deformation of polycrystalline Zr at 4.2 °K was investigated. Particular attention was given to the large recovery stage occurring between 30° and 40 °K, which amounted to 30% of Δρ0 for Zr containing ~0.070 at. % oxygen, but only 6% of Δρ0 for Zr containing ~0.015 at. % oxygen. By means of isochronal and isothermal anneals, this recovery stage was shown to be due to several first-order annealing processes (with activation energies between 0.105 and 0.125 eV), which were attributed to defect-oxygen atom interactions. Additional recovery peaks were observed at 190 °K and 310 °K only for the lower purity Zr, whose recovery to 360 °K was approximately 80%.

The low-temperature recovery of the electrical resistivity of polycrystalline zirconium was measured after electron irradiation below 8 °K. The material used in this irradiation was the same low oxygen material (0.015 at.%) used by Swanson to study recovery after deformation at 4.2 °K. Substage IB was found to be only of the order of 4% of the irradiation-induced resistivity change, compared to ~6% observed by Swanson after deformation. Stage I (4.2 to 160 °K) in Zr contains six substages, while stage II (160 to 310 °K) contains only one substage after electron irradiation. While no study of kinetics was made, it seems likely that close pair-annihilation processes are responsible for the recovery spectrum below 118 °K and that longer-range defect migration occurs in the neighborhood of 140 °K.

An investigation has been made of the kinetics of hydration of tricalcium silicate at several temperatures in a large excess of water in the presence of various added ions. The rate data have been interpreted by a reaction mechanism which involves: (a) the first order hydration of tricalcium silicate to form an intermediate product, 1.5CaO•SiO2, which can react by two pathways, (b) the direct first order decomposition of intermediate, 1.5CaO•SiO2, to form lime and silica or (b′) complexing of intermediate with silica and subsequent decomposition to form lime and silica. This reaction mechanism predicts the rate of production of base during the hydration. The effect of various added ions is interpreted in terms of the proposed mechanism.Rate constants and activation energies for the various steps in the proposed mechanism are reported.

The purely plaquette 3D Ising Hamiltonian with the spins living at the vertices of a cubic lattice displays several interesting features. The symmetries of the model lead to a macroscopic degeneracy of the low-temperature phase and prevent the definition of a standard magnetic order parameter. Consideration of the strongly anisotropic limit of the model suggests that a layered, “fuki-nuke” order still exists and we confirm this with multi-canonical simulations. The macroscopic degeneracy of the low-temperature phase also changes the finite-size scaling corrections at the first-order transition in the model and we see this must be taken into account when analyzing our measurements.

ABSTRACTIn this work we demonstrate that photopumped quantum wellheterostructure lasers with excellent optical quality can be grown ontop of a LT GaAs buffer layer by molecular beam epitaxy. Hightemperature thermal annealing of these lasers blue-shifts the laseremission wavelengths but the presence/absence of a LT GaAs layerhad little effect on the overall laser thresholds. Also, to first order itwas not necessary to include an AlAs barrier layer to preventadverse effects (as has been necessary in the gate stack of MESFETs to prevent carrier compensation).
