The sample chamber of the spectrometer consists of an ultra-high-vacuum cryostat allowing us to produce metastable alloy films. Measurement of the films at low temperature and annealing at temperatures below 600K are feasible in situ. As a result the authors present the optical properties of metastable, polycrystalline CuFe films in the concentration range 0-100 at.% Fe. The films are evaporated at 77K and subsequently annealed at 350K. Transmission spectra are taken between 1.2 and 5.4 eV. For Fe concentrations between 0-20 at.% the square of the plasma frequency depends linearly on concentration as predicted by the theory of virtual bound states. The interband transitions at 2.2 eV and 5 eV do not shift in this concentration range, whereas the parallel band absorption at 4.8 eV disappears.

Abstract 2014 Polyvalent metal films with dissolved magnetic additions are produced by quench condensation onto a substrate held at 10 K. The films are subsequently annealed at higher temperature Ta. The electrical resistance is measured below Ta.

The paramagnetic susceptibility chi is measured in situ using AC magnetic fields of 2.2-11.5 mT at frequencies between 33 and 5500 Hz and temperatures from 2.5 to 80K. The paramagnetic Curie temperature theta , the effective magnetic moment peff and the temperature Tf of the susceptibility maximum depend on Fe concentration and annealing. Alloys annealed at 80K do not show a frequency dependence of Tf. A reduction of chi near Tf in small DC fields is found only after annealing at 300K. A comparison with the properties of bulk CuFe alloys shows that the Tf values are nearly the same whereas the theta and peff values of the alloy films are much smaller than for the corresponding bulk alloys.

Research paper thumbnail of Time-dependency of the 137 Cs activity concentration in freshwater lakes, measurement and prediction

Radioprotection, 2002

These values can be explained by differences in limnological character of these lakes. To describe and predict the data of lake water contamination we use (1) a simple exponential "transfer function" model for the runoff of activity from contaminated catchments, and assume that runoff water determines lake water contamination. In a second approach (2) lake water residence times and 137 Cs uptake by sediments are taken into account together with runoff. With their blind predictions both models describe the 137 Cs contamination in lake water of the three lakes quite well. Based on the second approach, a fish model is used to blindly predict the fish contamination in Lake Constance and Lake Vorsee with a deviation smaller than factor 10 from measured values. Attempts to use these models also for a number of other lakes in Europe and in the CIS countries near to the site of Chernobyl are promising with respect to a generalisation of our results to predict 137 Cs contamination of freshwater lakes for radiation protection purposes in case of emergency.

Tf of Au+4.5 at.% Fe is independent of the frequency. The reduction of the maximum of the initial susceptibility due to applied DC fields decreases with rising frequency. These results can be interpreted in terms of superparamagnetic Fe clusters freezing out near Tf.

Research paper thumbnail of Factors affecting the transfer of radiocaesium from soil to roe deer in forest ecosystems of southern Germany

A large data set is now available with approximately 5000 samples, with information about the location of the animal, the time of slaughtering, soil characteristics and distance to intensively managed agricultural land. Both the roe deer 13'Cs activity concentrations and aggregated transfer coefficients soil-roe deer (T,,,,) show a considerable variability with geometric mean and geometric standard deviation in meat of 270.3.5" Bq'kg-' and 0.01.3.5" m*.kgg', respectively. From 1987 to 1991, Z"'ag,r values exhibited a decline with an ecological half-life of about 3 years. Since 1991, no further decrease of the roe deer contamination level was observed. This general trend is superimposed by an increase in Tag,r in autumn that has occurred in almost every year, which is probably due to consumption of mushrooms. This hypothesis is supported by a significant positive correlation between the precipitation during July and August, stimulating the fungi's growth and the height of the maximum in T,g,r in autumn.
