    Biological effects and physical characterization of shock waves by an XL-1 experimental lithotripter
    (1989) Brümmer, Franz; Staudenraus, Joachim; Nesper, Martina; Suhr, Dierk; Eisenmenger, Wolfgang; Hülser, Dieter F.
    Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has become the clinical standard method for non-invasive disintegration not only of concrements in kidney and urinary tract but also of gallstones. Despite the widespread clinical use of ESWL, the mechanism of stone destruction is not yet really understood, but several possibilities (cavitation, shock wave reflection) are discussed. The final cause of various side effects is still under discussion. Nevertheless, during the last few years much effort was put into possible extensions of ESWL applications On the other hand , physical characterizations of shock waves are rarely reported and combined measurements of biological effects in vitro and physical characterization of the applied shock waves are not available. We, therefore, examined the influence of water temperature and gas content on the shock wave efficency in biological systems and determined several physical characteristics (pressure amplitudes, rise time etc.) of the shock waves under the same experimental conditions.

    Linear stark coupling to the ground state of effective mass acceptors
    (1989) Köpf, Andreas; Ambrosy, Anton; Lassmann, Kurt
    It is shown by dielectric resonance absorption at 24 GHz and by ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy between 5 and 10 GHz that linear coupling of the electric field to the ground state of effective mass acceptors in Si exists and has a distinct chemical shift from B to In.

    One-phonon ionization of neutral donors in germanium
    (1989) Gienger, Martin; Groß, Peter; Lassmann, Kurt
    Here we show by phonon spectroscopy with superconducting tunnelling junctions that one-phonon excitations from the ground state to the conduction band (CB) are measurable as phonon induced conductivity (PIC) changes in the special case of donors in Ge. For the conductivity thresholds we find somewhat smaller binding energies than evaluated from optical measurements whereas for the 1s-singlet to 1s-triplet ground state splitting as seen by elastic phonon scattering we obtain the optical values.
