It is shown that INS probes the local density of states of the solid at or just outside the solid surface. It is believed that this accounts for the clear-cut differences between INS results and those of other spectroscopies. Because of its unique specificity to the surface region INS is particularly useful in studying the surface electronic structures of atomically clean surfaces and of surfaces having ordered arrays of known atoms adsorbed upon them. In the latter case INS determines a portion of the molecular orbital spectrum of surface molecules formed from the adsorbed foreign atom and surface atoms of the bulk crystal. Such spectra provide information on local bonding symmetry and structure and electrical charging within the surface molecule which is as yet unavailable by any other method. INS is the first attempt to base a spectroscopy of electronic states on a two-electron process. More recent work on experimental and mathematical problems which such a spectroscopy entails are also briefly mentioned in this paper.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

Several sets of these glasses were measured carefully and reserved and designated as future reference standards. Duplicate standards evaluated by comparison with the reference standards are available by purchase to the public. The current set of reference standards was established in the years 1945 to 1947, and one of these reference standards (selenium-red) was recalibrated in 1952. This paper reports a recalibration, made in 1961 and 1962, of all four glasses (selenium-red, carbon-yellow, copper-green, cobalt-blue) on three spectrophotometers (Cary 14, Beckman DU, König-Martens). Except for the cobalt-blue standard, the values of spectral transmittance found differ from those previously assigned by amounts differing at some wavelengths by as much as or slightly more than the uncertainties estimated for the present values, though not by amounts exceeding the combined uncertainties of the present and previous determinations. The indicated changes for these three standards are fairly regular, however, and support the view that the selenium-red and carbon-yellow standards are changing chiefly by formation of a reflectance-reducing film on the surfaces. The indicated rate of upward drift is slow, and suggests that it takes about 10 years for the drift to exceed the assigned uncertainity.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

The forward and reverse adsorption-rate constants and the adsorptive capacity comprise the only parameters. Where adsorption alone is of importance and the desorption-rate constant can be neglected, a simplified form of the theory results in a special equation which may suffice for most adsorption purposes. In either case, the characteristic parameters are determinable from the data and serve as criteria for comparing similar systems. The theory has been confirmed by the data of various investigators taken from the literature. The parameters derived from column adsorption are in agreement with the corresponding batch-derived parameters. The limitations as well as the capabilities of the theory are presented; but even where deviations from the assumed model exist, the results are useful.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

The source can be taken to be characterized by local thermal equilibrium, but with a large radial temperature gradient. An experiment indicates that when two elements are introduced into the arc in a solution, the relative concentrations of the elements in the discharge are the same as in the solution within the probable experimental error. This experiment indicates one way that the arc may be used for the determination of absolute oscillator strengths. New measurements are reported of the gf-values of 105 lines of Fe I between 2900 and 4150 Å, and the new values are compared with the results of earlier measurements.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

These properties are derived in analytical form, and in most cases are represented by numerical equations, with tabulation for zirconium and H/Zr atom ratios of 0.25, 0.50, 0.57, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25. Most of the unique phase-field boundaries which are consistent with the derived properties are located and are compared with those previously reported. In the Zr-H system the enthalpies are shown to relate certain properties at different compositions as well as at different temperatures. Some of the various data show good interconsistency, while others reveal discrepancies which are discussed critically.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

Corliss","doi":"10.6028/jres.067A.048","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.6028/jres.067A.048","url":null,"abstract":"This paper considers the resolution limits of those analyzers and oscillatory systems whose performance may be represented by a second-order differential equation. The “signal uncertainty” product Δf·Δt is shown to be controlled by the ability of a system to indicate changes in energy content. The discussion refers the functioning of the system to a signal space whose coordinates are energy, frequency, and time. In this signal space, the product of the resolution limits, U = (ΔE/E0) (Δf/f0) (Δt/T0) is the volume of a region within which no change of state in the system may be observed. Whereas the area element Δf·Δt is freely deformable, no operations upon either Δf or Δt can further the reduction of the energy resolution limit. Thus U is irreducibly fixed by the limiting value of ΔE/E0. By considering the effects of noise upon ΔE/E0, and thus upon U, the paper demonstrates the rise of statistical features as signal-to-noise ratios decrease. Functional relationships derived from ΔE/E0 and U are tabulated. These equations facilitate computation of the limits of observable changes of state in a system, and they provide guidance for the design of experiments to apportion the uncertainties of measurement of transient phenomena as advantageously as possible. A reference bibliography and appendices giving somewhat detailed proofs are included.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.
