SOLID STATE RESEARCH OF THE APPLIED PHYSICS DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1961
Abstract
Emphasis has been placed upon the optical and electrical properties of the lead salt semiconductors and work on the compound SnTe. Surface transport studies of semiconductors were clarified by a reformulation of the Boltzmann equation. Magnetoelastic interactions constituted an important effort during the year. Acoustic investigations of SiO2 were continued with reference to the Si-O-Si bond that included the relationships between specific heat and temperature dependence of the elastic moduli of SiO2 glass. Laser mechanisms have been studied by the use of high speed photography. A new alloy, Nitinol, revealed many unusual properties. Certain device applications of solid state principles are reported.
