SummaryLoad-cast structures in the Caledonian, synorogenic, Fongen-Hyllingen layered basic complex closely resemble those deformations resulting from reverse density stratification in experimentally studied, water-saturated sediments. The mushroom-shaped structures are apparently restricted to a single horizon within an interlayered, metamorphosed, dunite–troctolite sequence. They generally have a symmetrical form, revealing a polygonal pattern in the plane of the layering. The density contrast between an olivine-rich crystal mush overlying a plagioclase-rich crystal mush, both very close to the igneous sediment–magma interface, is believed to have caused the deformation. Subsequent consolidation occurred by adcumulus growth.

During the course of electron transmission investigations of the deformation structures associated with shock-loaded thin foil specimens of 70/30 brass, it was observed that in a number of instances preferential etching occurred along grain boundaries; and that the degree of etching appeared to depend upon the various experimental conditions prevailing during electropolishing. These included the electrolyte composition, the average current density, and the temperature in the vicinity of the specimen. In the specific case of 70/30 brass shock-loaded at pressures in the range 200-400 kilobars, the predominant mode of deformation was observed to be twin-type faults which in several cases exhibited preferential etching similar to that observed along grain boundaries. A novel feature of this particular phenomenon was that in certain cases, especially for twins located in the vicinity of the specimen edge, the etching or preferential electropolishing literally isolated these structures from the matrix.

High Temperature Gas

A differentially pumped environmental cell has been developed for use in the AEI EM7 million volt microscope. In the initial version the column of gas traversed by the beam was 5.5mm. This permited inclusion of a tilting hot stage in the cell for investigating high temperature gas-specimen reactions. In order to examine specimens in the wet state it was found that a pressure of approximately 400 torr of water saturated helium was needed around the specimen to prevent dehydration. Inelastic scattering by the water resulted in a sharp loss of image quality. Therefore a modified cell with an ‘airgap’ of only 1.5mm has been constructed. The shorter electron path through the gas permits examination of specimens at the necessary pressure of moist helium; the specimen can still be tilted about the side entry rod axis by ±7°C to obtain stereopairs.

Good Agreement

We applied two different approaches to investigate the deformation structures of the two nuclei S32 and Ar36 . In the first approach, we considered these nuclei as being deformed and have axes of symmetry. Accordingly, we calculated their moments of inertia by using the concept of the single-particle Schrödinger fluid as functions of the deformation parameter β. In this case we calculated also the electric quadrupole moments of the two nuclei by applying Nilsson model as functions of β. In the second approach, we used a strongly deformed nonaxial single-particle potential, depending on Î² and the nonaxiality parameter γ , to obtain the single-particle energies and wave functions. Accordingly, we calculated the quadrupole moments of S32 and Ar36 by filling the single-particle states corresponding to the ground- and the first excited states of these nuclei. The moments of inertia of S32 and Ar36 are then calculated by applying the nuclear superfluidity model. The obtained results are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data.
