Quantum mechanical lineshapes of collision-induced absorption (CIA) at different temperatures are computed for gaseous mixtures of molecular nitrogen and methane using theoretical values for the induced dipole moments and intermolecular potential as input. Comparison with theoretical absorption spectra shows satisfactory agreement. An empirical model of the dipole moment which reproduces the experimental spectra and the first three spectral moments more closely than the fundamental theory, is also presented. Good agreement between computed and experimental absorption lineshapes is obtained when a potential model which is constructed from the thermophysical and transport properties is used.

AbstractQuantum mechanical lineshapes of collision-induced absorption (CIA) at room temperature are computed for gaseous molecular oxygen using theoretical values for induced dipole moments and new isotropic interatomic potential as input. Comparison with measured spectra of the rototranslational collision-induced absorption shows good agreement over the full range of frequencies. Empirical models of the dipole moment which reproduce the experimental spectra and the first two spectral moments more closely than the fundamental theory are also given. The quality of the present potential has been checked by comparing between calculated and experimental thermo-physical and transport properties over a wide temperature range, which are found to be in good agreement.

The collision-induced rotational translational spectrum of gaseous N2 has been measured in the temperature range 228–343 K at six different temperatures. The measurements were made with a Fourier transform spectrometer in the 25 to 360 cm−1 region and at 15.1 and 84.2 cm−1 with far infrared (FIR) laser. Previously obtained microwave data at 2.3 and 4.7 cm−1 have been used in defining the complete spectrum. Using a recently developed theory for quadrupolar-induced absorption, we find that the calculated quadrupole moment is independent of temperature and has a magnitude in close agreement with the recommended values of several other workers; i.e., Q = 1.46 B. The calculated value depends on the particular form of the intermolecular potential and this dependence is examined in some detail. A contribution to the absorption originating primarily from hexadecapolar and overlap induction has been observed in agreement with theoretical estimates and leads to an estimated value for the hexadecapolar moment [Formula: see text].

Wave mechanical lineshapes of collision-induced absorption spectra are computed for binary mixtures of argon with helium, neon, and krypton using theoretical dipole moments as input. Comparison with measured spectra shows satisfactory agreement except for the neon–argon mixture, for which either theory or measurement is seen to be in substantial error. Empirical models of the collision-induced dipole moment which reproduce the experimental spectra more closely than the fundamental theory are also given. Best agreement between computed and experimental lineshapes is obtained when potential models which are accurate in the repulsive region are used.

We present a method for the construction of a one-adjustable-parameter empirical model for the induced dipole moment. The method is based on classical physics principles and relies on the first three spectral moments of the collision-induced absorption spectra at various temperatures and new interaction potentials. In this work it is applied to the spectra of He-Ar mixtures. Our values are in good agreement with the available ab initio data. The profiles calculated with these models at various temperatures are in excellent agreement with experiment.

The collision-induced absorption spectra of nitrogen–methane gas mixtures have been measured in the spectral region below 400 cm−1 at four temperatures, namely, 212, 179, 149, and 126 K. The measurements have involved the use of Fourier-transform infrared and microwave techniques as well as a far-infrared laser operating at 84.2 and at 15.1 cm−1. These are compared with a theoretical line shape obtained from a convolution of free rotational spectra and a translational component as determined from information theory. The calculated spectra show good agreement with the experimental results only in the lower frequency region. An important feature of the theoretical development is that no adjustable parameters need be introduced.

Liquid gallium (Ga), indium (In), and tin (Sn) were deposited on a molybdenum (Mo) surface. The surface-induced dipole moments of adsorbed adatoms Ga, In, and Sn on Mo were determined experimentally using field-ion and field-emission microscopy. The procedure of the experiment consisted of measuring the change in work function of Mo due to the adsorbed adatoms. The coverage of adatoms was obtained directly from a field-ion image of the surface using a field-ion microscope. The work function changes were obtained by measuring the field-emission currents and plotting the Fowler–Nordhiem curves. The results of this experiment for the induced dipole moments of Ga, In, and Sn adatoms were found to be 2.35 (D) for Ga, 2.39 (D) for In, and 2.25 (D) for Sn. These values are in good agreement with calculations using the charge transfer theory of chemisorption.

The aim of this study is to investigate, experimentally and numerically, the change of critical buckling load in composite plates with different ply numbers, orientation angles, stacking sequences and boundary conditions as a function of temperature. Buckling specimens have been removed from the composite plate with glass-fibre reinforcement at [0°]i and [45°]i (i= number of ply). First, the mechanical properties of the composite material were determined at different temperatures, and after that, buckling experiments were done for those temperatures. Then, numerical solutions were obtained by modelling the specimens used in the experiment in the Ansys10 finite elements package software. The experimental and numerical results are in very good agreement with each other. It was found that the values of the buckling load at [0°] on the composite plates are higher than those of other angles. Besides, symmetrical and anti-symmetrical conditions were examined to see the effect of the stacking sequence on buckling and only numerical solutions were obtained. It is seen that the buckling load reaches the highest value when it is symmetrical in the cross-ply stacking sequence and it is anti-symmetrical in the angle-ply stacking sequence.

Hole initiated multiplication characteristics of 4H-SiC Separate Absorption and Multiplication Avalanche Photodiodes (SAM-APDs) with a n- multiplication layer of 2.7 µm were obtained using 325nm excitation at temperatures ranging from 300 to 450K. The breakdown voltages increased by 200mV/K over the investigated temperature range, which indicates a positive temperature coefficient. Local ionization coefficients, including the extracted temperature dependencies, were derived in the form of the Chynoweth expression and were used to predict the hole multiplication characteristics at different temperatures. Good agreement was obtained between the measured and the modeled multiplication using these ionization coefficients. The impact ionization coefficients decreased with increasing temperature, corresponding to an increase in breakdown voltage. This result agrees well with the multiplication characteristics and can be attributed to phonon scattering enhanced carrier cooling which has suppressed the ionization process at high temperatures. Hence, a much higher electric field is required to achieve the same ionization rates.
