    Notes: The magnetic field penetration depth λ in single-crystalline UPt3 has been measured by muon spin relaxation ( μ+SR). The temperature dependence of λ−2 is nonexponential and anisotropic decreasing from its T=0 value proportional to T when measured perpendicular to the c axis but with a higher-power (parallel)c. Our data can be accounted for in detail by a superconducting gap with a line of nodes in the basal plane and axial point nodes. By neutron scattering we furthermore show that the antiferromagnetic order parameter of UPt3 is perturbed by the development of superconductivity. We discuss the implications of these results on the symmetry of the superconducting states of UPt3.

    Notes: A 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source with a single mode resonator is being developed to produce high efficient single charged ion beams from exiguous gaseous elements. The source is intended to produce short and long half-life radioactive ion beams as well as stable ion beams for low and high energy experiments at ISAC [J. M. Poutissou, Proceedings of the ISAC Workshop (1994)]. It is obvious that for the radioactive ion beam production, the gas and ion transient time and the overall ionization efficiency are the most important parameters. The transient time is measured using ultrafast peizoelectric gas valve which could operate up to a frequency of 2 kHz. A unique feature of the source is that the plasma chamber is considerably smaller (∼170 times) than its resonance cavity in order to minimize the transient time. Quartz tubes with various diameters (5–20 mm) and 80 mm long are tested as the plasma chamber and the results are discussed. The effect of the transfer tube length, which links the target and the ion source on the transient time is also described. An axially symmetric five electrode extraction system containing three multiaperture electrodes was used to extract the beam. The source, including ECR coils and extraction system is placed in the middle of a 60 cm×60 cm×90 cm vacuum box to simulate the ISAC target module conditions. The preliminary results of the molecular and ion transient time studies, beam efficiency studies are also presented in this article. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The magnetooptical technique was used to directly observe the magnetic flux penetration in single crystals of the La–Sr–Cu–O superconductor. The large size of the crystals (several millimeters along the three axes) allows for observations to be made along the different crystalline orientations. In a previous study, we reported on direct measurements of critical currents and the dependence of their anisotropy on the amount of Sr doping. When looking at the behavior of vortices which are parallel to the Cu–O planes, we observed that the roughness of the flux fronts was greatly magnified for the highly anisotropic samples. This suggested that the vortices were moving between the planes, as if they were in independent channels. In this communication, we report on observations made when an additional field component is applied along the c axis. Our experiments show that this additional component strongly suppresses the vortex penetration, drastically reducing the apparent anisotropy of the critical currents. We argue that this behavior is consistent with a picture in which the vortices easily move ("glide'') between the Cu–O planes, and only feel the pinning potential when they are tilted by the additional field component, and thus forced to "puncture'' the planes. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The heavy fermion superconductor UPt3 is thought to have a d-wave pairing ground state. The principal experimental evidence for this consists of the anisotropy of the power-law behavior observed in transverse ultrasound and μ+ SR measurements. The observation of a complex phase diagram in the superconducting state in ultrasound, torsional oscillator, and specific heat measurements may be a further indication of an unconventional pairing state. Theoretical investigations suggest the possibility of vortex lattices that are unconventional in their symmetry, their quantization, or the structure of their composite vortex cores. Transitions between such exotic vortex lattices are in principle allowed and could explain the observed features at H≈0.6 Hc2 (for H(parallel)cˆ) and H≈0.3Hc2 (for H⊥cˆ). Neutron diffraction is an ideal bulk probe of the microscopic properties of the vortex lattice. We have studied the vortex lattice with H⊥cˆ and T≈50 mK in the field range 0.75〈H〈10 kG. The structure of the vortex lattice and the quantization of the vortices, in addition to the London penetration depth, λL, the coherence length, ξ, and the effective mass anisotropy are all well determined by our measurements. The lattice is oblique hexagonal with conventional quantization. Its anisotropy can be explained by considering a combination of Fermi surface and gap anisotropy. However, the lattice does not appear to change near the transition between superconducting phases identified by other techniques.

    Notes: We report on small angle neutron scattering studies of the flux-line lattice in single crystal 2H-NbSe2. For fields inclined with respect to the c axis, we find distortions and form factors consistent with Ginzburg–Landau corrections to the London equations with a mass anisotropy Γ=10.1±0.9. The flux lattice orientation, however, remains pinned to the crystal lattice for all tilts studied, in disagreement with the orientation defined by anisotropic London theory. For fields below 2 kG parallel to the c axis, the peaks are no longer resolution limited. The correlation lengths extracted are history dependent, and show that the lattice is annealed when a current greater than the critical current is applied. This occurs both when a direct transport current is used, or an induced current in a zero field cooled experiment. The annealing is seen in both the transverse and longitudinal correlation lengths, and calls into question the relationship between the Larkin–Ovchinnikov correlation length and the measured critical currents in this system.

    Notes: We review studies of the interactions between magnetic order and the flux line lattice (FLL) in the (RE)Ni2B2C intermetallic borocarbides for (RE)=Tm and Er using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and magneto-transport. For (RE)=Tm the magnetic order and the FLL assume a common symmetry, sharing a phase transition at ∼2 kOe, despite an order of magnitude difference in periodicity. For (RE)=Er, the penetration depth λ and the coherence length ξ, both of which are derived from the FLL form factor, are modified near TN=6 K by a theoretically predicted weakly divergent pairbreaking. Finally, below 2.3 K, (RE)=Er shows a coexistence of weak ferromagnetism and superconductivity. This state reveals a highly disordered FLL and a striking increase in the critical current, both arising from the strong ferromagnetic pairbreaking. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We describe techniques for constructing single-crystal silicon high-Q torsional oscillators. The oscillators are fabricated by the high-precision micromachining of silicon using orientation-dependent etches. We describe methods for using these oscillators as very powerful probes of the mechanical properties of a variety of physical systems.

    Notes: In November of 1998, the ISAC radioactive beam facility at TRIUMF started delivering on-line isotope separated radioactive beams to experiments. A surface ionization source developed for ISAC has been used to commission the mass separator and beam transport systems and is providing radioactive beams to the first generation of ISAC experiments. The ion source is integral with the radioactive beam production target and is designed to be simple, radiation hard, inexpensive, and easily exchanged by remote-handling techniques. The ion source and its extraction column are suspended at the bottom of ∼2 m of steel shielding incorporated in the target module. The module is suspended in a vacuum tank with primary and secondary vacuum systems. All services for the target/ion source and beam extraction system are ducted through the module shielding. The first sets of beam transport elements and beam diagnostic devices are similarly suspended in vacuum at the bottom of two additional shielded modules. Ion beam characteristics can be routinely monitored during on-line operation by a system of Faraday cups, wire scanners, "harp" monitors, and a novel emittance measurement apparatus that can measure beam emittance in both horizontal and vertical planes. The diagnostics devices are capable of resolving beam signals down to the 10 pA range. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A technique is described for bonding ultrasound transducers to materials with values of thermal expansion such that ordinary bonding methods become unusable. The technique has been developed in particular to allow measurements at dilution refrigerator temperatures of the ultrasonic attenuation and sound velocity of heavily doped silicon near its metal-insulator transition.

    Notes: The Children's Nonword Repetition Test (CNRep) was given to 39 children with persistent language impairment (LI), 13 with a history of having received speech-language therapy (resolved LI), and 79 controls, all aged from 7 to 9 years. The children with LI were twins who had participated in a previous genetic study. Children with resolved LI, as well as those with persistent LI. were significantly impaired on the CNRep. Comparisons of MZ and DZ twins indicated significant heritability of a CNRep deficit. It is concluded that CNRep provides a marker of the phenotype of heritable forms of developmental language impairment.
