    Notes: Results are reported from an investigation of the effects of selected processing parameters on the morphology and properties of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) superconducting thin films grown directly on polycrystalline silver substrates by chemical-vapor deposition (CVD). These results were achieved through a set of experimental studies which examined: (i) recrystallization mechanisms of polycrystalline silver and their effect on the deposition of YBCO thin films; and (ii) CVD processing conditions leading to the growth of high-quality YBCO films. The samples were analyzed using dynamic impedance, four-point resistivity probe, x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, and scanning electron microscopy. These studies showed that substrate temperature played a critical role not only in the formation of YBCO films, but also in the recrystallization of silver substrates, which in turn greatly influenced film growth. The studies also led to the identification of a two-stage processing scheme for the growth of YBCO films on silver. The first processing stage consisted of a substrate conditioning cycle which involved a 10 min ramping from room temperature to deposition temperature where the substrates were held for an additional 10 min in a flow of 70 sccm O2 at a reactor working pressure of 2 Torr. The second processing stage involved actual film deposition at 760–800 °C for 3–10 min (depending on desired film thickness) in a mixed flow of 70 sccm O2 and 210 sccm N2O at a reactor working pressure of 4 Torr. Samples thus produced were highly oriented along the c axis perpendicular to the substrate with a zero resistance transition temperature of 87 K and a critical current density of 2×104 A/cm2 (77 K, B=0). The films had a thickness of 200–700 nm depending on the length of the growth cycle, which corresponded to the growth rates in the range 65–130 nm/min. A growth mechanism for YBCO on polycrystalline silver, which emphasized the role of silver recrystallization, was consequently proposed and discussed.

    Notes: In order to address the problem of three-body interactions in gas–surface scattering, we considered the collision of a He atom with the (0001) surface of graphite coated by a monolayer of Xe. To eliminate the uncertainties connected with errors in the two-body He–Xe interaction, we determined the latter by crossed-beam differential collision cross-section measurements performed at two energies (67.2 and 22.35 meV). These scattering data together with room-temperature bulk diffusion data are then fitted with a Hartree–Fock–dispersion–type function to yield an interaction potential that explains most of the properties of this system within the experimental errors and represents an improvement on previously published He–Xe potentials. Helium diffraction measurements are then carried out from the Xe overlayer and the dependence of the specular intensity from the angle of incidence is carefully determined. Further, a He–surface potential is constructed by adding together the following terms: (1) the He–Xe pairwise sum, (2) the long-range He–(0001)C interaction, (3) the three-body contribution generated by the Axilrod–Teller–Muto term, (4) the so-called surface-mediated three-body interaction He–Xe–(0001)C first considered by A. D. McLachlan [Mol. Phys. 7, 381 (1964)], and finally (5) a small correction which is meant to take into account the nonstationary nature of the surface. Using this potential, well-converged close-coupling scattering calculations are carried out, and their results compared with the data. In general, good agreement is obtained. The agreement can, however, be improved by (a) an increase of about 30% in the contribution of three-body forces, (b) the lowering of the He–graphite long-range attraction coefficient by about 15%, or (c) a reduction of the two-body interaction well depth of 1.6% (the experimental error) together with any combination of the factors under (a) and (b) reduced by an adequate amount. Elimination of the contribution of the graphite surface by studying Xe multilayers is hindered by the uncertainties in the "thermal correction'' [point (5) above] which, due to the multilayer increased "softness,'' becomes an appreciable source of uncertainty.

    Notes: Classical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to investigate the structures, the infrared spectra, and the rigid–nonrigid transitions of small methanol clusters (CH3OH)n for n=3–6. The study was motivated by experimental results for these clusters from size specific infrared (IR) dissociation spectroscopy. The MD simulations revealed the following transitions: The trimer passes from a rigid ring configuration into a series of nonrigid open chain structures starting at 197 K. For n=4 and 5 such transitions occur between rings and rapidly fluctuating ring structures at T=357 and 243 K, respectively. For n=6 first a pure isomeric transition between the two energetically lowest isomers of S6 and C2 symmetry is found at 35 K, and then a similar transition to a nonrigid behavior as is observed for n=4 and 5 is seen at 197 K. The measured spectra display in all cases the rigid lowest energy configurations.

    Notes: It is shown that Einstein's equations are always linearization stable around any finite region of space-time. Let (Ω,g0ab ) be any region of space-time, admitting a compact Cauchy surface with nonempty smooth boundary, and with g0ab a sufficiently smooth solution of the vacuum Einstein equation. It is shown that for any solution g1ab of the linearized equation and any open region U⊆Ω, there exists a smooth one-parameter family gλab of solutions on U such that (gλab||λ=0 =g0ab ) ||U and ((d/dλ)gλab =g1ab )||U. By using a result of Choquet-Bruhat and York [The Cauchy Problem, General Relativity and Gravitation, edited by A. Held (Plenum, New York, 1980), Vol. 1] asserting the smoothness of the map that sends initial data into solutions of Einstein's evolution equations the proof of the above theorem is reduced to the proof of a similar theorem for Einstein's constraint equations. The proof of this latter theorem involves the use of the implicit function theorem in Hilbert spaces. This local result on linearization stability asserts, in contrast to the general global case, that linearization about any vacuum solution is locally physically meaningful.

    Notes: The behavior of radiation-induced carbon-related defects in high-resistivity silicon detectors has been investigated. The defects were introduced by α-particle irradiation and investigated by deep-level transient spectroscopy. An unusual defect behavior consists in low-temperature annealing, including self-annealing at room temperature, of the interstitial carbon Ci with a simultaneous increase of the Ci-Oi-complex concentration. The kinetic parameters of the process have been determined from the increase of the Ci-center concentration versus time. Two annealing velocities have been observed, which arise from different heat treatments during the detector fabrication process.

    Notes: A technologically useful chemical vapor deposition process with high growth rate ((approximately-greater-than)4 μm/h) was developed for the epitaxial growth of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) thin films. Even at the high growth rate used in this process, a spiral growth mechanism was observed and the films grown had electrical (Tc=92 K, Jc of 2×106A/cm2 at 77 K) and structural properties equal to films produced by physical vapor deposition.

    Notes: Infrared photodissociation spectra of the mixed complexes C2H4–CH3COCH3 and C2H4–(CH3COCH3)2 have been observed after size selecting them by scattering from a helium beam combined with mass spectrometric detection. The excitation of the ν7-out of plane symmetric wagging mode of ethene near its gas phase frequency at 949.3 cm−1 with a cw-CO2 laser leads to a characteristic depletion of the cluster beam. The dissociation spectrum of the 1:1 complex can be explained by two peaks at 950.8 and 961.6 cm−1. Calculations of minimum energy configurations and band shifts based on an empirical site–site potential show that these frequencies can be attributed to the absorption of two different isomers. They correspond to the two different binding patterns of the H atoms of ethene to the O atom of acetone and those of acetone to the C–C group of ethene, respectively. For the 1:2 complex, a large peak at 958.5 cm−1 and a smaller one around 940.5 cm−1 are found which can be explained in a similar manner by several isomers found in the structure calculations.

    Notes: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from haemodialysis patients treated with different types of membranes were isolated, incubated in vitro, and extracellular and cell-associated interleukin 1 (IL-1) assayed by radioimmunological methods. Extracellular IL-1 was low and not different from controls, regardless of the dialyser used. In contrast, cell-associated IL-1 was increased in patients treated with dialysers containing low-Hux Cuprophan (CU, n = 5) and polyacrylonitrile sheet membrane (AN69, n = 5), Patients treated with diaiysers containing highflux polysulphone (PS, n= 7), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA, n= S), exhibited no increase in cell-associated IL-l under these conditions. To elucidate the mechanism of the activation, aqueous extracts of dialysers containing CU, PS, and AN69 were tested for their ability to induce IL-1 generation in PBMC from healthy donors. Extracts from unrinsed CU-containing dialysers caused significant IL-1 synthesis and release, whereas incubation with extracts from dialysers containing PS and AN69 sheet membranes did not. Hence, although both CU and AN69 sheet type dialysers result in activation of blood monocytes the mechanism of action appears to be different. We speculate that functional signs of PBMC activation as evidenced by increased spontaneous IL-1 production observed in some patients on long-term haemodialysis may result from extractable dialyser membrane material while in other instances direct cell membrane interactions or endotoxin transfer from the dialysate may be relevant.
