The elemental abundance ratios of interstellar secondary and primary cosmic rays

We report new observations of abundances in the charge range (Z) between 2 and 10, which were obtained with a dE/dx-Cerenkov detector launched into a polar orbit on OGO-6 as part of the Caltech Solar and Galactic Cosmic Ray Experiment. Integral rigidity spectra of all the elements observed have shapes similar to that of the helium spectrum in the rigidity range of 2 to 14 GV, approaching a power law with exponent -1.6 above 8 GV. Calculations of interstellar propagation assuming a steady-state model and including the presence of interstellar helium and the effects of solar modulation predict a variation with rigidity of ratios such as Be-O and B/O, which is not observed. The data can be explained by assuming a rigidity-dependent confinement of cosmic rays within the Galaxy.

Materials Data on BeO2 by Materials Project

BeO2 is quartz (alpha)-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Be is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing BeO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.59 Å) and two longer (1.60 Å) Be–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Be atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Be atoms.
