Device and method of optically orienting biaxial crystals for sample preparation

Device and method of optically orienting biaxial crystals for sample preparation.

An optical instrument we refer to as the "biaxial orientation device" has been developed for finding the optical plane, acute bisectrix, and obtuse bisectrix in biaxial crystals by means of optically aligning conoscopically formed melatopes and measuring the angular coordinates of the melatopes, where the angular values allow for determination of the optical plane containing the optical axes us...

exploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...

Low-temperature sample orienting device with two degrees of freedom.

We describe a rotating sample holder with two degrees of freedom for galvanomagnetic measurements at low temperatures which allows positioning within 0.5 degrees with a reproducibility of better than 0.5 degrees . The main advantages of our device over other constructions are simple and accurate device adjustment, simple and convenient handling, and simple and quick sample changing.

High Sample Rate Optically Pumped Helium Magnetometer

Optically pumped helium magnetometers are important instruments whichhave many applications in military, mass spectroscopy and space applications. In thispaper, the working principles of helium magnetometers have been explained. There isalso an introduction of a new method for finding the resonant frequency, which hasadvantages to the typical method such as more sample r...
