چکیده
The competitive effects of inelastic electron-atom collisions and electron-electron interactions on a sufficiently isotropic electron distribution is considered for a low temperature monatomic plasma. It is presupposed that unbalanced collisional transitions between ground state and resonance level of the plasma atoms are the dominant disturbance effect on the electron distribution. The unbalance is assumed to be due to resonance radiation escape and excitation diffusion. An analytical solution, which permits the calculation of the electron distribution even well above the ionization energy of the atomic ground state, is presented. In particular, it is demonstrated that due to the rapid de crease of the Coulomb cross section with increasing electron energy, the solution for the high energy tail of the electron distribution can be related to its form at lower energies by a simple recursion formula. The latter enables an easy computation of the ionization coefficients even for the lowest atomic energy levels. The analytical solution and its high energy approximation are numeri cally evaluated for the example of a low temperature —low pressure cesium plasma.

(Z. Naturforsch. 28 a, 1543-1553 [1973] ; received 7 May 1973) Nonequilibrium alignment phenomena in gases of polyatomic molecules (Senftleben-Beenakker effect, flow birefringence) have been studied extensively during the last decade. Similar effects should also exist for atoms with nonzero electronic orbital angular momentum. The WaldmannSnider equation (considered as Boltzmann equation for re...

متن کاملA Tribute to Professor Alfred Klemm, Publisher of the Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, on the Occasion of his 100th Birthday (February 15, 2013)
In 1945, after the end of World War II, Germany was in ruins and demoralized, and few were confident that the country, and its science, would recover soon, if ever, from utter collapse. The 32-year old physicist, Alfred Klemm, a co-worker of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Chemistry (later to become the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry) which had been evacuated from bombed Berlin to southwest ...

The dependence of the PMR spectra of three purine nucleosides (inosine, adenosine and deoxyadenosine) on temperature, concentration and addition of benzene (0.12 molal) has been investi gated in aqueous solution. The interaction of benzene with the nucleosides is deduced from the spectra. Enthalpies of self association have been determined as 2.2±0.1 kcal-mole-1 for dA and I. The corresponding...
