Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and giant gas planets
(University of St Andrews, 2017) - ThesisRecent observations of ultra-cool objects suggest that the gas in their uppermost atmospheres is heated, ionised and magnetised to levels that radio and X-ray emission is possible. The aim of this work is to identify which ... -
Elements of solar activity : particle acceleration and filament formation
(University of St Andrews, 2005-01) - ThesisThis thesis studies the acceleration of particles to super-thermal energies in explosive solar events as well as the magnetic changes in connectivity that may be responsible for changes in the morphology of quiescent ... -
Investigation of the magnetic properties of copper, aluminium and iron-copper alloys
(University of St Andrews, 1949) - ThesisSeveral workers have previously investigated the magnetic properties of copper and aluminium, but in most cases too small regard has been paid to the changes in magnetic susceptibility brought about by mechanical and thermal ... -
Electron scattering in gases
(University of St Andrews, 1935) - ThesisThis thesis is divided into two parts; the first containing theoretical work and discussions; and the second the experimental work. Section 1 contains a discussion of the stationary states in an atom and the kinetic theory ... -
Ionisation in mercury vapour and helium
(University of St Andrews, 1938) - ThesisThe greater part of the experimental research, described in this thesis, has been devoted to an investigation, by direct electrical methods, of the formation of ionised molecules in mercury vapour and helium. […] This ...
