Below #=0.5 xl0~5, the resistance is only weakly field dependent. evaluated at % -TH.Curves of the resistivity versus T for various H are given in Fig. 2. For sufficiently large H, there are two well-separated peaks; the first one occurs at temperatures above T K , whereas the second (lower temperature) peak is dependent in size and position primarily upon V.The experiments of Monod 11 on copper manganese agree qualitatively with these calculations insofar as they overlap in the temperature range. (The temperature was low enough, and the fields high enough to check the upper peak in Fig. 2.) On the other hand, Daybell and Steyert 12 working with Cr in Cu, observe no peaks, only a low-temperature plateau re-Measurements of the "deformation effect" in the total cross section for fast neutrons incident on oriented Ho 165 have been reported at neutron energies of 8, 15, 0.350, and 14 MeV. 1 " 3 The "deformation effect" is defined by Aa def = a(oriented)-a(unoriented), where o(oriented) and a(unoriented) are the total cross sections for the oriented and unoriented cases, gion.In Fig. 3, we show the resistance as function of H for fixed T.The drop in electrical resistance must be ascribed to four causes: the "freeze out" of the local moment exhibited in Eq. (5); the evaluation of the amplitudes at x = ±H, which for H> Tj£ is outside the resonance region; the change in r from its zero-field value; and the appearance of the new amplitude U. , to be published. respectively. The experiments have shown that Aa^e£ varies in magnitude with neutron energy, but in all measurements the sign of A0j e | has corresponded to the change in the geometrical cross section of the Ho 165 nucleus. A recent calculation, 1 using the coupled-channel formalism in the adiabatic approximation, predicted that Aa^e£ would undergo a sign change
INVERSION IN THE DEFORMATION EFFECT FOR NEUTRON TRANSMISSION THROUGH ORIENTED Ho 165 tWe report measurements of the "deformation effect" in the total cross section for neutrons on oriented Ho 165 over the energy range 0.330-5.60 MeV. They are in good qualitative agreement with the prediction of a previous theoretical calculation, and the predicted inversion or sign change in the energy range 3-7 MeV is verified.
