A theory of the temperature dependence of the shape of paramagnetic resonance lines is developed for temperatures sufficiently low to make the effects of the spin–lattice interaction and thermal expansion negligible. General expressions for the first and second moments of the line shape function as functions of the temperature are obtained, and the approximations used are discussed in detail. These expressions are applied to the case of effective spin [Formula: see text] and 1. As an illustration of the general theory numerical results are given for the paramagnetic resonance lines of nickel fluosilicate. In this case the moments become strongly temperature dependent below 10 °K.

The adequacy of the approximation method used by McMillan and Opechowski in their theoretical study of the temperature dependence of the paramagnetic resonance line shape function is very difficult to ascertain for the case of a typical paramagnetic crystal. For this reason the approximation method has been investigated for the very simple case of the one-dimensional Ising model. Exact expressions for the line shape function of the model are compared with expressions obtained by the approximation method mentioned above. The agreement between the two expressions is found to be very good in general, and extremely good at very low temperatures.

A general kinetic theory of intercollisional interference effects in induced infrared spectra is developed, in which the correlations between all the collisions in the collision sequence of a molecule are taken into account, but the effect of the ternary and higher-order collisions is neglected. The resulting series expression for the line-shape function is explicitly summed for a Lorentz gas. From this general theory expressions are derived for the depth of the intercollisional dip and the shape of the intercollisional spectrum assuming that the pair dipole moment and the intermolecular force are exponential functions with slightly different ranges. The extension of the theory to take into account the frequency dependence of the intracollisional spectrum, and the resulting inadequacy of the neglect of ternary collisions, are discussed.

The study on temperature dependent γ-ray attenuation and thermophysical properties of CaO and MgO has been carried out in the temperature range 300 K–1250 K using different energies of γ-beam, namely, Am (0.0595 MeV), Cs (0.66 MeV), and Co (1.173 MeV and 1.332 MeV) on γ-ray densitometer fabricated in our laboratory. The linear attenuation coefficients (μl) for the pellets of CaO and MgO as a function of temperature have been determined using γ-beam of different energies. The coefficients of temperature dependence of density have been reported. The variation of density and linear thermal expansion of CaO and MgO in the temperature range of 300 K–1250 K has been studied and compared with the results available in the literature. The temperature dependence of linear attenuation coefficients, density, and thermal expansion has been represented by second degree polynomial. Volume thermal expansion coefficients have been reported.

The 19F quadrupole coupling constants in CF4, CHF3, CClF3 and CHClF2 are reported. The measurements were carried out temperature dependent using the time differential perturbed angular distribution method (TDPAD). The temperature dependence can be satisfactorily described in the framework of the Bayer-Kushida theory. A simple model is used to explain the appearance of H-F and Cl-F coupling constants in CHF3/CHClF2 and CClF3, respectively.

AbstractThe temperature dependence of the silicon dangling-bond resonance in polycrystalline (poly-Si) and amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) was measured. At room temperature, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements reveal an isotropie g-value of 2.0055 and a line width of 6.5 and 6.1 G for Si dangling-bonds in a-Si:H and poly-Si, respectively. In both materials spin density and g-value are independent of temperature. While in a-Si:H the width of the resonance did not change with temperature, poly-Si exhibits a remarkable T dependence of ΔHpp. In unpassivated poly-Si a pronounced decrease of ΔHpp is observed for temperatures above 300 K. At 384 K ΔHpp reaches a minimum of 5.1 G, then increases to 6.1 G at 460 K, and eventually decreases to 4.6 G at 530 K. In hydrogenated poly-Si ΔHpp decreases monotonically above 425 K. The decrease of ΔHpp is attributed to electron hopping causing motional narrowing. An average hopping distance of 15 and 17.5 Å was estimated for unhydrogenated and H passivated poly-Si, respectively.

AbstractThe electronic structure of nitrogen donors in 6H-, 4H- and 3C-SiC is investigated by measuring the nitrogen hyperfine (hf) interactions with electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and the temperature dependence of the hf split electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. Superhyperfine (shf) interactions with many shells of 13C and 29Si were measured in 6H-SiC. The hf and shf interactions are discussed in the framework of effective mass theory. The temperature dependence is explained with the thermal occupation of the lowest valley-orbit split A1 and E states. It is proposed that the EPR spectra of P donors observed previously in neutron transmuted 6H-SiC at low temperature (<10K) and high temperature (>60K) are all due to substitutional P donors on the two quasi-cubic and hexagonal Si sites, whereby at low temperature the E state is occupied and at high temperature the A1 state. The low temperature spectra are thus thought not to be due to P-vacancy pair defects as proposed previously.

AbstractWe report a new method to measure the temperature-dependent coefficient of thermal expansion α(T) of thin films. The method exploits the temperature dependent buckling of clamped square plates. This buckling was investigated numerically using an energy minimization method and finite element simulations. Both approaches show excellent agreement even far away from simple critical buckling. The numerical results were used to extract Cα(T) = α0+α1(T−T0 ) of PECVD silicon nitride between 20° and 140°C with α0 = (1.803±0.006)×10−6°C−1, α1 = (7.5±0.5)×10−9 °C−2, and T0 = 25°C.
