    Notes: Abstract. A new development of the pulsed laser ablation (PLA) technique based on variable azimuth ablation (VAA) is reported. The VAA itself is based on periodic variations of the azimuth of the laser beam relative to the target at a constant angle of beam incidence. Such variations result in a suppression of cone–valley surface structures which tend to develop in the case of a fixed azimuth. VAA leads to high-level stabilization of the laser plume during a long-term deposition process. As a result, the VAA method stabilizes the deposition rate with a tolerance of only 3–6% instead of a 90% decrease in the rate as in conventional PLA. Different possibilities for the realization of the VAA technique based on 2- and 3-way target scans are discussed. In the case of large areas, VAA technique with a meander beam target scan is capable of the deposition of high-quality multicompositional superconducting films on tubes and tapes more than 1 m in length.

    Notes: The ionized rare gas clusters Ar4+ and Xe4+ have been studied by photofragmentation. Center-of-mass velocities of the neutral and ionized photofragments have been measured for photon energies between 1.6 and 4.4 eV. In almost all of the examined photon energy region, both clusters exhibit fragment velocity distributions which show that they consist of a linear ionized trimer with an additional atom loosely attached to its side. For the lowest photon energies, however, fragmentation patterns are observed which can only be explained by a linear tetramer structure. This demonstrates that stable linear isomers of the ionized rare gas tetramers exist. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The velocities of neutral and charged photofragments of the rare gas trimers He+3, Ar+3, and Xe+3 have been examined in a comprehensive study for photon energies ranging from 1.5 to 6 eV. For this purpose, a novel time-of-flight technique has been applied which allows the simultaneous examination of both neutral and charged fragments. The general fragmentation pattern of all three species was that of a linear trimer with a parallel transition moment and a totally repulsive excited state: In the course of the dissociation, two of the particles gain high velocities in opposite directions, while the third particle (the middle particle of the linear trimer) only obtains a small velocity. The positive charge generally localizes on one of the fast outer particles, as can be expected from the symmetry properties of the excited state. For Ar+3 and Xe+3, however, also localization of the charge on the slow particle can be observed. This effect strongly depends on the energy of the absorbed photon, and can be quenched by decreasing the vibrational excitation of the trimer. Comparison of the results with new potential energy surface calculations indicate that mainly spin–orbit coupling induced conical intersections are responsible for this charge redistribution phenomenon. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The development of storage rings for synchrotron radiation have now arrived at so-called third-generation and have straight sections with optical functions optimized for undulators and electron beams of very small emittances. The beam optics of the ring is chosen so as to minimize the quantum excitation of betatron oscillations which determine the emittance. This can be achieved with a ring containing many cells with a small bending angle and with strong focusing in each cell. The first point results in large and expensive rings and both points require strong sextupole magnets for the chromaticity correction which can limit the dynamic acceptance. The optimization of storage rings with these points in mind lead to lattices which have achromatic cells with two, three, or more bending magnets. Studies for future rings consider further methods like the use of wigglers, combined function magnets, increased transverse damping partitions, etc. in order to obtain even smaller emittances which approach the diffraction limit. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A Stern–Gerlach atomic-beam ion source (ABS) with an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ionizer and a Cs gas target as charge exchange units will replace the Munich Lamb–Shift polarized hydrogen source. The goal is to achieve intense negative beams of polarized H− and D− of high brightness for injection into the 14 MV MP tandem accelerator and beam intensity of about 2 μA on the target. At the entrance of the ECR ionizer the observed intensity of the neutral beam of polarized atoms is 6.4±0.4×1016 H/s, equivalent to 10 particle/mA before ionization. Comparing beam transport calculations with beam intensity measurements under various conditions allows a consistent description of the beam formation in the ABS with respect to the degree of dissociation ((similar, equals)80%), peaking ((similar, equals)1.6), beam absorption ((similar, equals)40%), and pumping speeds to be made. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The Kostomuksha greenstone belt consists of two lithotectonic terranes, one mafic igneous and the other sedimentary, separated by a major shear zone. The former contains submarine 2.8 Gyr old komatiite-basalt lavas and volcaniclastic lithologies with trace element and isotopic compositions resembling those of recent oceanic flood basalts [ɛNd(T) =+ 2,8, μ.1= 8.73 (Nb/Th)N= 1.5–2.1 (Nb/La)N= 1.0–1.5]. We suggest that the mafic terrane is a remnant of the upper crustal part of an Archaean oceanic plateau derived from partial melting of a mantle plume head. When the plateau reached the continental margin, it collided with the sedimentary terrane but was too buoyant to subduct. As a result, the volcanic section of the plateau was imbricated and obducted thus becoming a new piece of continental crust. The deeper zones were subducted and disappeared from the geological record.

    Notes: Abstract  Mantle peridotites of the Internal Liguride (IL) units (Northern Apennines) constitute a rare example of the depleted lithosphere of the Jurassic Ligurian Tethys. Detailed chemical (ICP-MS and SIMS techniques) and isotopic investigations on very fresh samples have been performed with the major aim to constrain the timing and mechanism of their evolution and to furnish new data for the geodynamic interpretation. The data are also useful to discuss some general geochemical aspects of oceanic-type mantle. The studied samples consist of clinopyroxene-poor spinel lherzolites, showing incipient re-equilibration in the plagioclase-facies stability field. The spinel-facies assemblage records high (asthenospheric) equilibration temperatures (1150–1250° C). Whole rocks, and constituent clinopyroxenes, show a decoupling between severe depletion in highly incompatible elements [light rare earth elements (LREE), Sr, Zr, Na, Ti] and less pronounced depletion in moderate incompatible elements (Ca, Al, Sc, V). Bulk rocks also display a relatively strong M(middle)REE/H(heavy)REE fractionation. These compositional features indicate low-degree (〈10%) fractional melting, which presumably started in the garnet stability field, as the most suitable depletion mechanism. In this respect, the IL ultramafics show strong similarity to abyssal peridotites. The Sr and Nd isotopic compositions, determined on carefully handpicked clinopyroxene separates, indicate an extremely depleted signature (87Sr/86Sr=0.702203–0.702285; 143Nd/144Nd=0.513619–0.513775). The Sm/Nd model ages suggest that the IL peridotites melted most likely during Permian times. They could record, therefore, the early upwelling and melting of mid ocean ridge basalt (MORB) type asthenosphere, in response to the onset of extensional mechanisms which led to the opening of the Western Tethys. They subsequently cooled and experienced a composite subsolidus evolution testified by multiple episodes of gabbroic intrusions and HT-LP retrograde metamorphic re-equilibration, prior to their emplacement on the sea floor. The trace element chemistry of IL peridotites also provides useful information about the composition of oceanic-type mantle. The most important feature concerns the occurrence of Sr and Zr negative anomalies (relative to “adjacent” REE) in both clinopyroxenes and bulk rocks. We suggest that such anomalies reflect changes in the relative magnitude of Sr, Zr and REE partition coefficients, depending on the specific melting conditions.

    Notes: Abstract The Onega plateau constitutes part of a vast continental flood basalt province in the SE Baltic Shield. It consists of Jatulian-Ludikovian submarine volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary sequences attaining in places 4.5 km in thickness. The parental magmas of the lavas contained ∼10% MgO and were derived from melts generated in the garnet stability field at depths 80–100 km. The Sm-Nd mineral and Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron ages of 1975 ± 24 and 1980 ± 57 Ma for the upper part of the plateau and a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of 1976 ± 9 Ma for its lower part imply the formation of the entire sequence within a short time span. These ages coincide with those of picrites in the Pechenga-Imandra belt (the Kola Peninsula) and komatiites and basalts in the Karasjok-Kittilä belt (Norway and Finnmark). Together with lithostratigraphic, chemical and isotope evidence, these ages suggest the derivation of the three provinces from a single large (∼2000 km in diameter) mantle plume. These plume-generated magmas covered ∼600,000 km2 of the Baltic Shield and represent a major contribution of juvenile material to the existing continental crust at 2.0 Ga. The uppermost Onega plateau lavas have high (Nb/Th)N = 1.4–2.4, (Nb/La)N= 1.1–1.3, positive ɛNd(T) of +3.2 and unradiogenic Pb-isotope composition (μ1 = 8.57), comparable with those of modern oceanic plume-derived magmas (oceanic flood basalt and ocean island basalt). These parameters are regarded as source characteristics. The lower sequences have (Nb/Th)N= 0.58–1.2, (Nb/La)N= 0.52–0.88 and ɛNd(T) =−2.6. They have experienced mixing with 10–30% of continental crust and resemble contaminated lavas from other continental flood basalt provinces. The estimated Nb/U ratios of 53 ± 4 in the uncontaminated rocks are similar to those found in the modern mantle (∼47) suggesting that by 2.0 Ga a volume of continental crust similar to the present-day value already existed.

    Notes: Abstract A cold working steel was coated both with high temperature CVD (TiN) and moderate temperature CVD (Ti[C,N]). AES depth profiles show a significant difference at the interface, where a thin oxide layer remains detectable at deposition temperatures of 750 °C. It could be shown that an impedance signal at a frequency of 13 MHz is well suited to detect the early stages of the growth of a CVD coating.

    Notes: Abstract The photoplate detection system of a spark source mass spectrometer has been recently replaced by a detector array consisting of 20 separate small channeltrons for simultaneous ion counting of up to 20 trace elements. The new multi-ion counting – spark source mass spectrometry (MIC-SSMS) technique combines the advantages of conventional SSMS with modern on-line detection of elements. It has important analytical features, such as simple and fast solid-state sample preparation, high precision (about 1–2%) and accuracy (4%) using multielement isotope dilution, high sensitivity which leads to short measuring times (10–50 min) and low detection limits (about 0.001–0.01 μg/g).
