THE OPTICAL ~ C T I V E MASS AND ABSORPTION EDGE OF ELECTRCUS IN S O n i C . J.N. H~xlgson (Physics Dept., The University, Keels, Staffordshire, ~ - ~ - ~ . ) The optical constants of so~ium have been measured by a reflection method in the wavelength range 0.65-2.5 x i0"~ ca. The values of dielectric constant in the infrared give an optical effective :~ss m~ -- (1.08 ~ O.Ol)m. The variation of conductivity with wavelength indicates the onset of inter-band transitions at a photon energy of 1.2 eV. A comparison with the theoretical band structure suggests that t h e s e may be indirect transitions from t h e Fermi surface. (Received 29 March 1963)

PROCESSES IN Cu3Au. III.
L.R. Weisberg & S.L. Qulmb~Colun~ia University, New York 27, New York, U.S.A.) The i s ~ change of Young's modulus with time is measured in a sin61e crystal of C~3Au following a s-aden change in temperature above and through the critical temperature, Tc, when the specimen is initially in one of the various states of long and short ~ order. Short range ordering changes above and close to T are found to be co~plete~ within minutes. Evidence is adduced for the existence of c a metastable short range order below T . When the specimen is quenched from above T c to below, it is show~ that ~ contin.~l Uformation of new ordered nuclei is an important part of the o r d e r i n ~ process. Equations are presented exPlalnlng t h e principal features of t h e ordering curves in % ~ of the relative contributions of nucleus formation ,~4 growth. When the specimen is heated from below T_ to above, it is deduced that the disorder diff~s i~ each ~ n b o ~ into theUdo~alns. Also, the initial disordering ~ate ilaed/a~ely above T c is controlled by the existence of a metastable state of long range order.

Diffuse reflectance spectra in t h e visible and near ultraviolet are reported for TiO, Ti20~, and the an~tase, f u t i l e and n a t u r a l b r o o k i t e crystalline modifications of TiO~. ResUlts are interpreted qualitatively in the light of crystal field theory. (Received 3 April 1963) 18. TH~RP~L EXPARSIC~ OF SILVER IODIDE. A. Bienenstock & G.
