Item Hydromagnetic wave propagation in the ionosphere(Wichita State University, 1963-08) Duvall, Bruce W.Item Production and strength measurement of thin evaporated metal films(Wichita State University, 1962-07) Ladd, Nelson S.; Breazeale, John Ballard, 1926-2009The purpose of this research was to determine mechanical strength of thin evaporated metal films by a centrifuge method. It is known that the tensile strength of thin films increases as thick n ess decreases. If the thickness of thin film is reduced from about 6 x 10-S centimeters. to 2 x 10- 5 centimeters, the tensile strength increases many times if the dislocations can be removed completely or locked in the surface so they cannot move.Item An experiment on the measurement of the gyromagnetic ratio(Wichita State University, 1962-06) Hill, Garnett L.; Breazeale, John Ballard, 1926-2009Item Concentric rotating spheres in a low density gas(Wichita State University, 1962-06) Harshberger JR., George D.; Jenkins, A.W.Item The measurement of the photoelectric work function by the use of the magnetic microbalanc(Wichita State University, 1962-08) Davis, J. Philip; Breazeale, John Ballard, 1926-2009Before an attempt is made to measure both the work function and adsorbed gases together it is desirable to consider the ability of the apparatus to make photoelectric determinations. Hence, this paper is concerned with the theory and experimental methods used in acquiring values of the photoelectric work function. It should be noted then, that this paper is primarily concerned with photoelectric determinations without regard to the conditions of the surface being measured.
