    Notes: This paper tests previous heuristically derived general theoretical results for the fast kinematic dynamo instability of a smooth, chaotic flow by comparison of the theoretical results with numerical computations on a particular class of model flows. The class of chaotic flows studied allows very efficient high resolution computation. It is shown that an initial spatially uniform magnetic field undergoes two phases of growth, one before and one after the diffusion scale has been reached. Fast dynamo action is obtained for large magnetic Reynolds number Rm. The initial exponential growth rate of moments of the magnetic field, the long time dynamo growth rate, and multifractal dimension spectra of the magnetic fields are calculated from theory using the numerically determined finite time Lyapunov exponent probability distribution of the flow and the cancellation exponent. All these results are numerically tested by generating a quasi-two-dimensional dynamo at magnetic Reynolds number Rm of order up to 105. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Wavenumber power spectra of the magnetic field in kinematic dynamos of Lagrangian chaotic flows are investigated. Numerical integration of the kinematic dynamo equations with magnetic Reynolds number Rm up to 105 shows that the wavenumber power spectrum of the magnetic field generated by smooth, Lagrangian chaotic flows obeys a power-law. This property is theoretically predicted by a wavepacket model, whereby magnetic field wavepackets are evolved according to ordinary differential equations. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A new fast scan submillimeter spectroscopic technique (FASSST) has been developed which uses a voltage tunable backward wave oscillator (BWO) as a primary source of radiation, but which uses fast scan (∼105 Doppler limited resolution elements/s) and optical calibration methods rather than the more traditional phase or frequency lock techniques. Among its attributes are (1) absolute frequency calibration to ∼1/10 of a Doppler limited gaseous absorption linewidth (〈0.1 MHz, 0.000 003 cm−1), (2) high sensitivity, and (3) the ability to measure many thousands of lines/s. Key elements which make this system possible include the excellent short term spectral purity of the broadly (∼100 GHz) tunable BWO; a very low noise, rapidly scannable high voltage power supply; fast data acquisition; and software capable of automated calibration and spectral line measurement. In addition to the unique spectroscopic power of the FASSST system, its implementation is simple enough that it has the prospect of impacting a wide range of scientific problems. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A high-precision, computer-controlled electronic timing system has been built for the OMEGA inertial confinement fusion laser. The timing system consists of five modular subcomponents and is easily expandable to produce any number of delay channels. The timing from the system is synchronized by a distributed clock, which is derived from the radio-frequency-signal that drives the mode-locked laser master oscillator. The system produces IEEE RS-170 television synchronization signals and several subfrequencies for operating different parts of the laser. Performance of the system and cost will be discussed. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The time-to-wavelength converter (TWC) is a fiber-based system that converts time-dependent voltage variations in a single-transient electrical pulse into wavelength-dependent power variations in an optical carrier pulse. This system is unique because its 1.5 GHz bandwidth is independent of signal transmission distance and the optical detector is a low-bandwidth gated spectrophotometer. The TWC system uses a 50-nm-wide carrier pulse centered at 810 nm. It is capable of remotely measuring a transient analog signal with a pulse width between 0.20 and 3.0 ns full width at half-maximum and has a −3 dB bandwidth from 104 MHz to 1.56 GHz. The system's dynamic range is 12 dB for transient signals but it can be increased to about 30 dB by averaging multiple pulses. Its operation is based on the generation of an optical carrier pulse by self-phase modulation in a flexible capillary filled with carbon disulfide; wavelength dispersion in a fused-silica single-mode fiber; optical intensity modulation using a Pockels cell; and spectral analysis of the modulated optical signal. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We describe two versions of a high temperature flowing afterglow apparatus. With a stainless steel flow tube wrapped with heating tape we have obtained data over the range 300–1300 K. In a version with a ceramic flow tube in a commercial furnace we have obtained data over the range 300–1600 K. The ceramic version is designed to take data up to 1800 K, but we have encountered experimental problems at the upper temperature range. The design modifications to a standard flowing afterglow needed to make measurements at elevated temperatures are described in detail, as are problems associated with operating at elevated temperatures. Samples of data are given. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A new continuously tunable submillimeter source for spectroscopy and other high-resolution applications has been developed. In this source the optical spectrum of a mode-locked femtosecond laser is downconverted into the submillimeter region by the demodulation process of a photoconductive switch. The power generated is subsequently radiated into free space by an antenna which is integrated along with the switch on low-temperature grown GaAs. The very high resolution is ultimately traceable to the cavity length of the laser and the stable mode-lock frequency which results. Among the most important attributes of the sources are straightforward absolute frequency calibration, very high spectral purity, and the potential for spectral multiplexing. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Results of free spin down in vacuum are reported for an Evershed-type superconducting bearing in which a permanent magnet (PM) ring is levitated over an array of high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) and under a similar PM ring in magnetic attraction. The velocity dependence of the rotational loss strongly suggests that the observed velocity-dependent losses are primarily due to eddy currents induced in the PM by inhomogeneity of the field produced by the magnetized HTS array. The results show that the Evershed-type bearing is capable of reducing these eddy-current losses to an extremely low level, so that at a maximum magnet rim velocity of 28 m/s, the fractional kinetic-energy loss per hour was 2.4×10−4. Significant levitation heights are also possible, and at a 23 mm height, we measured a low-speed coefficient of friction of 3×10−8. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The growth of modulation-doped InAs/(Al,Ga)Sb quantum wells on GaAs substrates employing molecular beam epitaxy requires care in the nucleation and the use of buffer layers to achieve high quality material. Despite a 7% lattice mismatch between the substrate and the active layers, fully relaxed epitaxial growth can be accomplished, and quantum wells with electron sheet concentrations of 7×1012 cm−2 having low-temperature mobilities as high as 300 000 cm2/V s have been routinely fabricated recently in our laboratory. In the present work the combination of atomic force microscopy and van der Pauw measurements is used to investigate and explain the strong influence of the buffer layers on the morphology in the quantum well that is shown to be responsible for the great differences in the observed low-temperature mobilities. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We describe tests of a technique to fabricate nanostructures by the evaporation of metal through a stencil mask etched in a suspended silicon nitride membrane. Collimated evaporation through the mask gives metal dots less than 15 nm in diameter and lines 15–20 nm wide. We have investigated the extent of hole clogging and the factors which determine the ultimate resolution of the technique. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
