Global aspects of accelerating and rotating black hole space-times
The complete family of exact solutions representing accelerating and rotating
black holes with possible electromagnetic charges and a NUT parameter is known
in terms of a modified Plebanski-Demianski metric. This demonstrates the
singularity and horizon structure of the sources but not that the complete
space-time describes two causally separated black holes. To demonstrate this
property, the metric is first cast in the Weyl-Lewis-Papapetrou form. After
extending this up to the acceleration horizon, it is then transformed to the
boost-rotation-symmetric form in which the global properties of the solution
are manifest. The physical interpretation of these solutions is thus clarified.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure. To appear in Class. Quantum Gra
Phases and phase stabilities of Fe3X alloys (X=Al, As, Ge, In, Sb, Si, Sn, Zn) prepared by mechanical alloying
Mechanical alloying with a Spex 8000 mixer/mill was used to prepare several alloys of the Fe3X composition, where the solutes X were from groups IIB, IIIB, IVB, and VB of the periodic table. Using x-ray diffractometry and Mössbauer spectrometry, we determined the steady-state phases after milling for long times. The tendencies of the alloys to form the bcc phase after milling are predicted well with the modified usage of a Darken–Gurry plot of electronegativity versus metallic radius. Thermal stabilities of some of these phases were studied. In the cases of Fe3Ge and Fe3Sn, there was the formation of transient D03 and B2 order during annealing, although this ordered structure was replaced by equilibrium phases upon further annealing
Electro-optic scanning of light coupled from a corrugated LiNbO3 waveguide
Light diffracted from a grating output coupler in a Ti-diffused LiNbO3 waveguide is scanned electro-optically. Using a coupling length of 2.5 mm in our arrangement we have demonstrated a scanning capability of one resolved spot per 3 V/µm applied field
