Excitation cross sections for krypton by electrons in the 15-100-eV impact-energy range

Differential, integral, and momentum-transfer cross sections have been determined for the excitation of the 24 lowest electronic states of Kr (some of the transitions are unresolved). The inelastic-scattering cross sections were normalized to the absolute scale with the help of the elastic-scattering differential cross sections (DCS's) which in turn were normalized with respect to absolute He DCS's. The impact energies were 15, 20, 30, 50, and 100 eV and the DCS's were obtained over the range of 5-135 deg scattering angles. The error limits associated with the differential, integral, and momentum-transfer cross sections have been estimated at 25%, 38%, and 46%, respectively.

Hot isostatic pressing of silicon nitride Sisub3n4 containing zircon, or zirconia and silica

A hydrothermal synthesis apparatus with a 10 KB cylinder was used to obtain a sintered body of silicon nitride. The sintering auxiliary agents used were zircon (ZrSiO4) and a mixture of zirconia (ZrO2) and silica (SiO2). Experiments were conducted with the amounts of ZrSi04 or ArO2 and SiO2 varying over a wide range and the results compared to discover the quantity of additive which produced sintering in silicon nitride by the hot pressing method.

Elastic scattering and vibrational excitation of CO2 by 4, 10, 20 and 50 eV electrons

Elastic and vibrationally inelastic differential, integral and momentum-transfer cross sections for electrons scattered by CO2 molecules are reported at 4, 10, 20 and 50 eV impact energies. The elastic cross sections are placed on an absolute scale by means of a relative flow technique. The inelastic cross sections are normalised to the elastic ones by using the inelastic to elastic intensity ratios. Data are reported for up to ten features in the 0.0 to 0.4 eV energy-loss region.

Electron energy-loss spectra in molecular fluorine

Electron energy-loss spectra in molecular fluorine, for energy losses from 0 to 17.0 eV, have been taken at incident electron energies of 30, 50, and 90 eV and scattering angles from 5 to 140 deg. Features in the spectra above 11.5 eV energy loss agree well with the assignments recently made from optical spectroscopy. Excitations of many of the eleven repulsive valence excited electronic states are observed and their location correlates reasonably well with recent theoretical results. Several of these excitations have been observed for the first time and four features, for which there are no identifications, appear in the spectra.

Multi-Mission Receiver (MMR)

An introduction to the Multi-Mission Receiver (MMR) is presented. The MMR contains occultation receiver channels (OCC) and very long baseline interferometry channels. The design considerations, performance and implementation of the OCC channels are discussed.

Pioneer Venus wind experiment receiver

The final design of the Pioneer Venus Wind Experiment Receiver and Phase Calibrator is discussed from the block diagram viewpoint. Measured phase data are shown to derive the predicted performance. The STDN receiver implementation is also discussed.
