Combined EXAFS and First-Principles Theory Study of Pb 1-x Ge x Te

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, Eric J. Cockayne, E Newville, K M. Rabe
The narrow band-gap semiconductor Pb 1-xGe xTe has a low-temperature ferroelectric rhombohedral phase whose average structure is a distorted rocksalt structure. We have measured the Extended X-Ray-Absorption Fine-Structure (EXAFS) spectra of Pb 1-xGe xTe

Comparative Mechanical Property Characterization of 3 All-Ceramic Core Materials

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
M Y. Wen, H J. Mueller, J Chai, W T. Wozniak
The biaxial flexural strength and fracture toughness for three representative types of ceramic core materials were studied to (1) ascertain the ranking of the 3 ceramic types for strength and toughness, and (2) provide clinicians with more information to

Computerizing Concrete Technology Knowledge

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
G J. Frohnsdorff, L J. Kaetzel
The ability to organize, store, process, and exchange knowledge of concrete using computers is growing rapidly. Without fully knowing what will be possible in the future, it is apparent that computers will bring great changes to the way knowledge of

Creation of an Ultracold Neutral Plasma

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
T C. Killian, S Kulin, S D. Bergeson, Luis A. Orozco, C R. Orzel, S L. Rolston
We report the creation of an ultracold neutral plasma by photoionization of laser-cooled xenon atoms. The charge carrier density is as high as 2 x 10 9 cm -3, and the temperatures of electrons and ions are as low as 100 mK and10 K, respectively. Plasma

Cyclic Fatigue of Intrinsically Brittle Ceramics in Contact with Spheres

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
D K. Kim, Yeon-Gil G. Jung, I M. Peterson, Brian R. Lawn
Contact damage modes in cyclic loading with spheres are investigated in three relatively brittle ceramics, soda-lime glass, porcelain and fine-grain silicon nitride, in moist environments. Initial damage at small numbers of cycles and low loads consists of

Deterioration of Iowa Highway Concrete Pavements: A Petrographic Study

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
Paul E. Stutzman
Major highway concrete pavements in Iowa have exhibited premature deterioration attributed to effects of ettringite formation, alkali-silica expansive reactions, and to frost attack, or some combination of them. These pavements were constructed in the mid

Determination of the Scattering Lengths of 39 K from 1 u Photoassociation Lineshapes

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
Carl J. Williams, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne, H Wang, W C. Stwalley, P L. Gould
We report threshold scattering properties for 39K(f = 1) atoms obtained from analysis of experimental photoassociation spectra of the purely long-range 39K 21 u state. The existence of hyperfine structure in the excited K 2 1 u state and a knowledge of the
