Microcrystalline silicon growth for heterojunction solar cells. Second quarterly report, 1 April 1983-30 June 1983

Description: In this reporting period, a single source of evaporation with B mixed with highly doped Si was used instead of the co-evaporation of separate Si and B sources. The purpose was to reduce possible carbon contamination. The results of both the heterojunction or heteroface structures, however, were similar to last quarter when evaporation was used. The best Voc of the heterojunction was about 460mV and no improvement in Voc in the heteroface structure, was observed; slight Voc degradation occurred.… more

Data needs for the track structure of alpha particles and electrons in water

Description: We have made calculations of the ionization spectra for alpha particle and electron tracks in water. We have also computed the number of ions created per micrometre of track length, the energy distribution of the secondaries, and the energy expended per ion pair created. Our aim is less toward theoretical derivations than to obtain a numerically accurate description of the track structure at all energies in a form suitable for biomedical applications. 13 references.

Variational methods in steady state diffusion problems

Description: Classical variational techniques are used to obtain accurate solutions to the multigroup multiregion one dimensional steady state neutron diffusion equation. Analytic solutions are constructed for benchmark verification. Functionals with cubic trial functions and conservational lagrangian constraints are exhibited and compared with nonconservational functionals with respect to neutron balance and to relative flux and current at interfaces. Excellent agreement of the conservational functionals u… more

Determination of trace impurities in uranium hexafluoride by an inductively coupled argon plasma spectrometer

Description: A procedure has been developed to determine 21 trace impurity elements in uranium hexafluoride, using inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectrometry (ICAP). The method consists of a liquid-liquid extraction to separate uranium from the trace impurities with a mixture of tri-(2-ethyl-hexyl)-phosphate (TEHP) and heptane. The raffinate containing the elements is subsequently analyzed by ICAP. The impurity elements which can be analyzed by this method are: Al, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr,… more

Progress in numerical calculations of ion-atom collisions

Description: An ion-atom collision produces a time dependent perturbation of a many fermion system. In this collision, excitation, ionization and charge transfer can occur. The driving mechanism for these processes may be thought of as the potentials seen by individual electrons at any given separation of the projectile and target nuclei. If we think of these potentials as belonging to the target (a nucleus and electrons) and the projectile (another nucleus and electrons) then as detected by an electron the… more

Measurements of the deposition rates of radon daughters on indoor surfaces

Description: The deposition rates of radon daughters on indoor surfaces have been measured by exposing the window of a proportional counter to the air of a house with high concentrations of radon and its daughters. Deposition velocities for unattached RaA and RaB of approximately 4 mm sec/sup -1/ were obtained by dividing the deposition rates by the concentrations of unattached daughters in the air. These results agree with those obtained by other workers but are dependent on the assumptions made about the … more

Heavy ion excitation and photon decay of giant resonances

Description: Results are presented for excitation of giant multipole resonances by inelastic scattering of 350 and 500 MeV /sup 16/O projectiles from /sup 90/Zr and /sup 208/Pb. The giant quadrupole resonance is excited with large cross sections and a very large resonance peak to continuum ratio is obtained. Extracted cross sections agree with DWBA calculations which use standard collective model form factors. Using 380 MeV 170 to excite the giant resonances, the ..gamma..-ray decay has been measured for th… more

Dose reduction at nuclear power plants

Description: The collective dose equivalent at nuclear power plants increased from 1250 rem in 1969 to nearly 54,000 rem in 1980. This rise is attributable primarily to an increase in nuclear generated power from 1289 MW-y to 29,155 MW-y; and secondly, to increased average plant age. However, considerable variation in exposure occurs from plant to plant depending on plant type, refueling, maintenance, etc. In order to understand the factors influencing these differences, an investigation was initiated to st… more

Design desiderata for a laminar flow quadrupole-focused acceleration column

Description: The Pierce design acceleration column has been widely used to accelerate high current beams. It operates well in the space charge limited condition, and will produce beams with a temperature comparable with that of the source. It is restricted in current density, however, by the Child-Langmuir relation. If the ion source itself is not the limiting constraint, then the achievable current density is limited by the electric field at which sparking occurs. One sees clearly that the achievable curre… more

Type II successful supernovae, the anatomy of shocks: neutrino emission and the adiabatic index

Description: Hydrodynamic calculations of stellar collapse in Type II Supernova are described using a variable stiffness and compressibility for the nuclear equation of state at high density. Initial models employing a relatively small mass core with low central entropy are necessary to achieve viable shocks; near success the models are sensitive to both neutrino emission and the high density equation of state. The treatment of neutrino production and transport is sketched and recent results reported.

Preliminary analysis of fission gas behavior and fuel response during an LMFBR operational transient

Description: This summary presents results obtained from a preliminary analysis of gas behavior and oxide fuel response during an LMFBR operational transient. The DiMelfi and Deitrich model is extrapolated to operational transient regimes to delineate brittle versus ductile fuel response modes. All pertinent parameters necessary for application of the DiMelfi and Deitrich model were obtained from the LIFE-3 code.

Torsional ultrasonic technique for reactor vessel liquid level measurement

Description: We have undertaken a detailed study of an ultrasonic waveguide employed as a level, density, and temperature sensor. The purpose of this study was to show how such a device might be used in the nuclear power industry to provide reliable level information with a multifunction sensor, thus overcomming several of the errors that led to the accident at Three Mile Island. Some additional work is needed to answer the questions raised by the current study, most noticably the damping effects of flowing… more

Lattice for a low-field superconducting super collider

Description: In this paper I present a simple lattice suitable for a Superconducting Super Collider (super-super). This super-super lattice is designed for storage of 20-TeV protons using bending magnets with peak fields of B = 2.1 T. The low-field value is chosen so that the present work may complement presentations of highfield lattices (5 T and 6.5 T) given elsewhere at this workshop, and so that this lattice may be used as a working tool to identify field-dependent aspects of the accelerator design.
