Most experiments in this field are perfonned with highly relativistic particles (10 . Y/ 10 ). Then channeling radiation is strongly concentrated about the forward direction z and consists of spectral peaks whose frequencies (usually in the x- or y-rsnge) are the dipole transition frequencies cOgg multiplied by the huge Doppler shift (l-q /c) 2Y. ... 

As a potentially appealing application of these ideas, we proceed to consider the possibilities for lasing action in a field mode on-resonance with channeling radiation, propagating alongside a beam of channeled electrons. Due to the anharmonicity of the channeling potential for electrons, the o)eg °f different transitions are well-separated and the two-level model for emission applies. Define a cooperative Bloch-vector density for this system... 

CHANNELING RADIATION ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR PHYSICS IN ONE AND TWO DIMENSIONS... 

Many experiments in atomic physics are designed to test the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics. In this section I will describe some recent experiments which demonstrate the applicability of these concepts to one and two dimensional systems. Although the first experimental result on channeling radiation were just published in 1979 a considerable body of information has been obtained and we can only give a brief outline of some aspects of the work in this paper. 

In this case we have a two dimensional potential with quantum numbers n and S. We use as an example the channeling radiation spectrum from 16.88 MeV electrons injected along a <100> direction in a diamond crystal which is shown in Fig. 17. Again, as can be seen from Table III, the agreement is satisfactory. 

The values obtained for channeling radiation energies from the many-beam formulation are listed in Table IV. For the 2p-ls transitions, there is reasonable agreement with the result of the LCAO-type calculations. The upper three lines and the more accurate... 

The purpose of optical elements is to channel radiation as efficiently as possible from the observed area on the planetary object onto the detector. The simplest optical elements capable of doing so are lenses and curved reflectors (Fig. 5.2.1). Mirrors... 

In order to isolate the effect of the surface radiation heat transfer between reactor elements on (jg and tst. Cases 5 and 10 have been recomputed under adiabatie reactor conditions by suppressing both direct and reflective (siN = 8out = 0.0) radiation exchange with the inlet/outlet enclosures (allowing only for in-channel radiation exchange). Surface radiation of the channel walls was subsequently turned on or off by setting the channel surface emissivity either to its standard value (e = 0.6) or to zero (s = 0.0). Cases 15 and 16 in Table 8.2 pertain to a cordierite ehannel wall, while Cases 18 and 19 to a FeCr alloy one. Wall temperature profiles for Cases 15 and 16 at various time instanees during the startup phase are plotted in Fig. 8.14. 

Both microwave and millimetre wave radiation can be channelled in any direction by a waveguide made from metal tubing of rectangular cross-section, the dimensions depending on the frequency range. The absorption cell is also made from waveguide tubing. 

Radiation Damage. It has been known for many years that bombardment of a crystal with energetic (keV to MeV) heavy ions produces regions of lattice disorder. An implanted ion entering a soHd with an initial kinetic energy of 100 keV comes to rest in the time scale of about 10 due to both electronic and nuclear coUisions. As an ion slows down and comes to rest in a crystal, it makes a number of coUisions with the lattice atoms. In these coUisions, sufficient energy may be transferred from the ion to displace an atom from its lattice site. Lattice atoms which are displaced by an incident ion are caUed primary knock-on atoms (PKA). A PKA can in turn displace other atoms, secondary knock-ons, etc. This process creates a cascade of atomic coUisions and is coUectively referred to as the coUision, or displacement, cascade. The disorder can be directiy observed by techniques sensitive to lattice stmcture, such as electron-transmission microscopy, MeV-particle channeling, and electron diffraction. 

Every method, with the exception of imaging technologies, provides the measurement of an equivalent spherical diameter in one form or another. The spherical diameter information can be deduced indirectiy from the behavior of the particles passing through restricted volumes or channels under the influence of gravity or centrifugal force fields, and from interaction with many forms of radiation. 

Figure 4.25. Experimental configuration for optical pyrometry of shock temperatures induced in transparent minerals. Upon impact of projectile with driver plate, a shock wave is driven into the driver plate and then into the sample. Optical radiation from the sample is detected via six lens/interference filter channels and an array of six photodiodes. Signals from photodiode circuits are recorded on oscilloscopes operating in single sweep model. (After Ahrens et al. (1982).)...

A continuous lipidic cubic phase is obtained by mixing a long-chain lipid such as monoolein with a small amount of water. The result is a highly viscous state where the lipids are packed in curved continuous bilayers extending in three dimensions and which are interpenetrated by communicating aqueous channels. Crystallization of incorporated proteins starts inside the lipid phase and growth is achieved by lateral diffusion of the protein molecules to the nucleation sites. This system has recently been used to obtain three-dimensional crystals 20 x 20 x 8 pm in size of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin, which diffracted to 2 A resolution using a microfocus beam at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. 

Thermal radiation becomes important at higher temperatures, especially above 2000°F, when thermal destruction of the monolith substrate probably takes place. Thermal radiation intensities are proportional to the emissivity of the surface multiplied by the absolute temperature raised to the fourth power. The thermal emissivity of the monolith may be close to 1.0 due to the blackened surfaces from deposition of platinum. Each point of the channel is completely visible from any other point of the channel. The... 

Although freeze-fracture experiments have demonstrated that monomers are assembled into stable tetramers in the membranes, radiation inactivation studies and, later, expression studies revealed that each monomer is a functional water channel (Fig. lc).
