摘要:

At a conference in June 1980 we celebrated the neutrino reaching what is, from my frame of reference, early middle age. Our celebrations were a little premature because the real birthday was only in December, but this is an accuracy which in this area of physics is surely acceptable. This article is an account of the early history of the neutrino, but the reader has to accept that I am not a trained historian, and what I have to say will not be a scholarly analysis. My qualification is rather that I am one of the relics of old times, someone who was around at the birth of the neutrino. So I shall write largely about things which I remember; but I cannot rely on memory entirely. Memory is deceptive, and whenever one looks back to the original papers, things are a little different from what one thought. Sometimes reading your own writings or letters of 50 years ago can give unexpected surprises. So my remarks will be about what I remember, but with occasional help or correction from the literature.

摘要:

Phonon spectroscopy is the use of very high frequency sound at low temperatures to investigate ions or defects in solids and at surfaces. The sound frequencies extend up to 1000 GHz and descriptions are given of how this sound is generated and detected, and how it is used in spectroscopy. These methods are illustrated by the results of recent experiments carried out in a number of laboratories. Some of the systems which can readily be detected using sound are very difficult to see by other methods and the reasons for this large difference in sensitivity are discussed.

摘要:

This article deals with the application of cathodic sputtering to the production of atomic vapours in atomic spectroscopy. It discusses the physical process of sputtering in a low-pressure rare-gas discharge and its characteristics as a method of generating atomic vapours for almost any solid element, including the highly refractory metals. Applications in the areas of spectrochemical analysis, laser-induced fluorescence studies of atomic lifetimes, polarized fluorescence experiments, Doppler-free laser spectroscopy, and optogalvanic spectroscopy are reviewed.

摘要:

One of the principal aims of surface science is to arrive at an understanding of the oxidation and corrosion of metals and the behaviour of surface catalysts. Considerable progress has been made in this direction in recent years. It is shown how a greater knowledge of the structure and chemistry of crystal surfaces is now leading to an understanding of the surface chemical reactions which are involved in these technologically important processes.
