Erforschung der Dynamik fester Ionenleiter mittels Computersimulationen am Beispiel von Lithiumsilikatgläsern
Im Rahmen der Dissertation wurden Molekulardynamiksimulationen ionenleitender Glaeser der Zusammensetzung x Li2O (1-x) SiO2 (x=0,5; 0,1) bei verschiedenen Temperaturen zwischen 640 K und 1240 K durchgefuehrt. Mittels geeigneter Zweizeitenkorrelationsfunktionen wurde die komplexe Ionendynamik charakterisiert. Eine wichtige Rolle kommt hierbei der Funktion w(t) = (d/dt) zu, die ueber die Theorie der linearen Antwort mit der frequenzabhaengigen Leitfaehigkeit sigma(nue) verbunden ist. Die Hin- und Rueckdynamik sowie dynamische Heterogenitaeten der Lithiumionen wurden mithilfe geeigneter Dreizeitenkorrelationsfunktionen untersucht. Die Arbeit beinhaltet zudem ein detailliertes Studium der Zusammenhaenge zwischen Netzwerk- und Lithiumdynamik. Beispielhaft hierfuer wird der "Schiebetuer"-Mechanismus vorgestellt. Schliesslich wurde die Ionendynamik unter dem Einfluss starker elektrischer Felder studiert
Data processing for a cosmic ray experiment onboard the solar probes Helios 1 and 2: Experiment 6
The data processing system for the Helios experiment 6, measuring energetic charged particles of solar, planetary and galactic origin in the inner solar system, is described. The aim of this experiment is to extend knowledge on origin and propagation of cosmic rays. The different programs for data reduction, analysis, presentation, and scientific evaluation are described as well as hardware and software of the data processing equipment. A chronological presentation of the data processing operation is given. Procedures and methods for data analysis which were developed can be used with minor modifications for analysis of other space research experiments

First imaging of corotating interaction regions using the STEREO spacecraft
Plasma parcels are observed propagating from the Sun out to the large coronal heights monitored by the Heliospheric Imagers (HI) instruments onboard the NASA STEREO spacecraft during September 2007. The source region of these out-flowing parcels is found to corotate with the Sun and to be rooted near the western boundary of an equatorial coronal hole. These plasma enhancements evolve during their propagation through the HI cameras’ fields of view and only becoming fully developed in the outer camera field of view. We provide evidence that HI is observing the formation of a Corotating Interaction Region(CIR) where fast solar wind from the equatorial coronal hole is interacting with the slow solar wind of the streamer belt located on the western edge of that coronal hole. A dense plasma parcel is also observed near the footpoint of the observed CIR at a distance less than 0.1AU from the Sun where fast wind would have not had time to catch up slow wind. We suggest that this low-lying plasma enhancement is a plasma parcel which has been disconnected from a helmet streamer and subsequently becomes embedded inside the corotating interaction region
Galactic Abundances: Report of Working Group 3
We summarize the various methods and their limitations and strengths to derive galactic abundances from in-situ and remote-sensing measurements, both from ground-based observations and from instruments in space. Because galactic abundances evolve in time and space it is important to obtain information with a variety of different methods covering different regions from the Very Local Insterstellar Medium (VLISM) to the distant galaxy, and different times throughout the evolution of the galaxy. We discuss the study of the present-day VLISM with neutral gas, pickup ions, and Anomalous Cosmic Rays, the study of the local interstellar medium (ISM) at distances <1.5 kpc utilizing absorption line measurements in H I clouds, and the study of galactic cosmic rays, sampling contemporary (~15 Myr) sources in the local ISM within a few kiloparsec of the solar system. Solar system abundances, derived from solar abundances and meteorite studies are discussed in several other chapters of this volume. They provide samples of matter from the ISM from the time of solar system format ion, about 4.5 Gyr ago. The evolution of galactic abundances on longer time scales is discussed in the context of nuclear synthesis in the various contributing stellar objects
Nonlinear hopping transport in ring systems and open channels
We study the nonlinear hopping transport in one-dimensional rings and open
channels. Analytical results are derived for the stationary current response to
a constant bias without assuming any specific coupling to the external fields.
It is shown that anomalous large effective jump lengths, as observed in recent
experiments by taking the ratio of the third order nonlinear and the linear
conductivity, can occur already in ordered systems. Rectification effects due
to site energy disorder in ring systems are expected to become irrelevant for
large system sizes. In open channels in contrast, rectification effects occur
already for disorder in the jump barriers and do not vanish in the
thermodynamic limit. Numerical solutions for a sinusoidal bias show that the
ring system provides a good description for the transport behavior in the open
channel for intermediate and high frequencies. For low frequencies temporal
variations in the mean particle number have to be taken into account in the
open channel, which cannot be captured in the more simple ring model.Comment: 25 pages, 7 figure
Simultaneous Observations of Cosmic Ray Particles in a Corotating Interplanetary Structure at Different Solar Distances between 0.3 and 1 AU from HELIOS 1 and 2 and IMP 7 and 8
From December 1975 to June 1976 we observed
an evolving recurrent proton enhancement with IMP 7/8
and Helios 1/2 at different distances from the sun. The
corotating character is established over 4 solar rotations.
Due to the unique constellation in March 1976 simultaneous
measurements were possible which allowed a study of the
radial development undisturbed by temporal effects. The
intensity variation of the ~4 - 13 MeV protons between
0.43 and 1 AU revealed a sudden increase to a large positive gradient (+329 %/AU) in the leading edge of the
event. This value is consistent with a major source outside
1 AU. We suggest an interplanetary acceleration which
becomes sufficiently effective within a fast solar wind
stream
Backward correlations and dynamic heterogeneities: a computer study of ion dynamics
We analyse the correlated back and forth dynamics and dynamic
heterogeneities, i.e. the presence of fast and slow ions, for a lithium
metasilicate system via computer simulations. For this purpose we define, in
analogy to previous work in the field of glass transition, appropriate
three-time correlation functions. They contain information about the dynamics
during two successive time intervals. First we apply them to simple model
systems in order to clarify their information content. Afterwards we use this
formalism to analyse the lithium trajectories. A strong back-dragging effect is
observed, which also fulfills the time-temperature superposition principle.
Furthermore, it turns out that the back-dragging effect is long-ranged and
exceeds the nearest neighbor position. In contrast, the strength of the dynamic
heterogeneities does not fulfill the time-temperature superposition principle.
The lower the temperature, the stronger the mobility difference between fast
and slow ions. The results are then compared with the simple model systems
considered here as well as with some lattice models of ion dynamics.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figure
Cosmic ray measurements on board Helios 1 from December 1974 to September 1975: Quiet time spectra, radial gradients, and solar events
The University of Kiel cosmic ray experiment on board Helios 1 measures nucleons above 1. 7 MeV/nucleon and electrons above 0.3 MeV in the inner solar system between 1.0 and 0.3 AU from the Sun. A first survey is given on quiet time proton and Helium spectra which are compared near Earth and close to perihelion. The anomalous Helium component is also present at radial distances within 0.4 AU. Quiet time Helium spectra from 3.8 to 48 MeV/nucleon gradually increase between December 1974 and June 1975. For the integral radial gradient (protons above 51 MeV) we estimate a value of (11±2.5) %/AU during a period of slowly increasing cosmic ray intensity. We discuss solar particle events on January 5 (at 0.93 AU), March 7 (at 0.41 AU), and March 19, 1975 (at 0.32 AU). The March 19 event was measured closer to the Sun than any other event before. It exhibits sharp temporal structures, differences in the time profiles of various particle species, and a large abundance of Helium 3, with a 3He/4He ratio of 2 to 3 in the range 5 to 7 MeV/nucleon. This event occurred close to the peak of a high speed solar wind stream.
