Ferrite nanoparticles of were prepared by a sol-gel autocombustion method. The prepared samples were shown to have a cubic spinel structure by applying the full pattern fitting of the Rietveld method. The unit cell dimension, discrepancy factor, and interatomic distance have been determined. As the Cr3+ content x increases, the unit cell dimensions and crystallite size are decreased. The IR spectra show two absorption bands in the wave number range of 400 to 600 cm−1.

A synthetic analogue, Ca(Ti0.6Al0.2Sb0.2)OSiO4, of antimony-bearing titanite of a composition similar to that found at St. Marcel-Praborna (Italy) was synthesized using ceramic methods and the crystal structure was refined using the Rietveld method. Unit-cell dimensions (in Å) are a=7.0184(1), b=8.7097(2), c=6.5586(1), and β=113.700(1)°. The substitution of 40% Ti by (Al+Sb) in octahedra causes a loss of long-range coherency of the off-centered Ti atoms. The space group of Sb-bearing titanite is A2/a, like other cases of M3+-M5+-doped titanites. This study confirms that titanite with up to 0.2 Sb atom per f.u. can exist and that the substitution scheme is 2Ti4+↔Al3++Sb5+.

Stability curves are computed for both spatially and temporally growing disturbances in a stratified mixing layer between two uniform streams. The low Froude number limit, in which the effects of buoyancy predominate, and the high Froude number limit, in which the effects of density variation are manifested by the inertial terms of the vorticity equation, are considered as limiting cases. For the buoyant case, although the spatial growth rates can be predicted reasonably well by suitable use of the results for temporal growth, spatially growing disturbances appear to have high group velocities near the lower cutoff wave-number. For the inertial case, it is demonstrated that density variations can be destabilizing. More precisely, when the stream with the higher velocity has the lower density, both the wave-number range of unstable disturbances and the maximum spatial growth rate are increased relative to the case of homogeneous flow. Finally, it is shown how the growth rate of the most unstable wave in the inertial case diminishes as buoyancy becomes important.

Abstract The stability of the plane interface separating two Rivlin-Ericksen elastico-viscous superposed fluids of uniform densities when the whole system is immersed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field has been studied. The stability analysis has been carried out, for mathematical simplicity, for two highly viscous fluids of equal kinematic viscosities and equal kinematic viscoelasticities. It is found that the stability criterion is independent of the effects of viscosity and viscoelasticity and is dependent on the orientation and magnitude of the magnetic field. The magnetic field is found to stabilize a certain wave-number range of the unstable configuration. The behaviour of growth rates with respect to kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity parameters are examined numerically.

An experimental investigation was performed in air-water bubbly flow to study the liquid turbulence spectra in a 200mm diameter vertical pipe. A dual optical probe was used to measure the local void fraction and bubble diameter while the liquid velocities were measured using hot-film anemometry. Experiments were performed at two liquid superficial velocities of 0.2 and 0.68m/s for gas superficial velocities in the range of 0 to 0.18m/s. Generally, as the void fraction increases there is a turbulence augmentation. However, a turbulence suppression was observed near the pipe wall at the higher liquid flow rate for low void fraction. In the augmentation case, the turbulence spectra showed a significant increase in the energy at the wave number range comparable to the bubble diameter. In the suppression case, the spectra showed that suppression initially occurs at the low wave number range and then extends to higher wave numbers as suppression increased.

Abstract. The advent of satellite based sampling brings with it the opportunity to examine virtually any part of the globe. Aura MLS mesospheric temperature data are analysed in a wavelet format for easy identification of possible planetary waves (PW) and aliases masquerading as PW. A calendar year, 2005, of eastward, stationary, and westward waves at a selected latitude is shown in separate panels for wave number range −3 to +3 for period range 8 h to 30 days (d). Such a wavelet analysis is made possible by Aura's continuous sampling at all latitudes 82° S–82° N. The data presentation is suitable for examination of years of data. However this paper focuses on the striking feature of a "dish-shaped" upper limit to periods near 2 d in mid-summer, with longer periods appearing towards spring and fall, a feature also commonly seen in radar winds. The most probable cause is suggested to be filtering by the summer jet at 70–80 km, the latter being available from ground based medium frequency radar (MFR). Classically, the phase velocity of a wave must be greater than that of the jet in order to propagate through it. As an attempt to directly relate satellite and ground based sampling, a PW event of period 8d and wave number 2, which appears to be the original rather than an alias, is compared with ground based radar wind data. An appendix discusses characteristics of satellite data aliases with regard to their periods and amplitudes.

The solution sol-gel method is used to produce thin films of photosensitive hybrid organic-inorganic glass on silicon. Glasses consisted of photoinitiator, methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, methacrylic acid, and zirconium oxide. Clear, low optical loss films are obtained, indicating nanophase homogeneity in the samples. The nanocomposite films are shown to be suitable for fabricating optical components such as ridge wave guides and Bragg diffraction gratings. The increase in the refractive index of the glass relative to the surrounding material during photolithographic processing is identified as a key material parameter in device fabrication. Accordingly, electronic and vibrational spectroscopy are used to provide insight into the structural changes that occur when glasses are irradiated with continuous narrow band 4.9 eV and pulsed 6.4 eV light. Arguments are advanced, linking the changes in refractive index to collateral densification leading to volume compaction of the silicate network during organic free-radical polymerization. This was shown by following the time evolution of relevant IR absorption bands. Free silanol and unreacted methoxysilane are consumed in the process. Matrix densification is indicated by shifts to low wave number in the transverse optical phonon mode associated with decreasing Si-O-Si bond angles of the antisymmetric stretching vibration (compression). Growth in the Si-O-Si framework is observed through increased intensity in this IR absorption. Similar behaviour is observed for films irradiated with 6.4 eV light from an excimer laser. A phase mask in combination with pulsed 6.4 eV light is used to inscribe a 1.5 mm, high-reflectivity polarization-independent Bragg grating into a ridge wave guide. The high reflectivity is thought to arise from a periodic modulation of the volume compaction of the matrix. Overall, the organic component of the glass confers unique properties on the material that allow it to be densified even with 4.9 eV light. By comparison, sol-gel silica with no organic component must be densified at nearly twice the photon energy.Key words: sol-gel, wave guide, Bragg grating, photochemistry, densification, refractive index, photolithography.

Abstract. The objective of this paper is to study the dynamics of small-scale turbulence near a pycnocline, both in the free regime and under the action of an internal gravity wave (IW) propagating along a pycnocline, using direct numerical simulation (DNS). Turbulence is initially induced in a horizontal layer at some distance above the pycnocline. The velocity and density fields of IWs propagating in the pycnocline are also prescribed as an initial condition. The IW wavelength is considered to be larger by the order of magnitude as compared to the initial turbulence integral length scale. Stratification in the pycnocline is considered to be sufficiently strong so that the effects of turbulent mixing remain negligible. The dynamics of turbulence is studied both with and without an initially induced IW. The DNS results show that, in the absence of an IW, turbulence decays, but its decay rate is reduced in the vicinity of the pycnocline, where stratification effects are significant. In this case, at sufficiently late times, most of the turbulent energy is located in a layer close to the pycnocline center. Here, turbulent eddies are collapsed in the vertical direction and acquire the "pancake" shape. IW modifies turbulence dynamics, in that the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) is significantly enhanced as compared to the TKE in the absence of IW. As in the case without IW, most of the turbulent energy is localized in the vicinity of the pycnocline center. Here, the TKE spectrum is considerably enhanced in the entire wave-number range as compared to the TKE spectrum in the absence of IW.
