Droplets associated with surface-spike growth of crystals of NiBr 2 by sublimation have been analyzed and found to contain Cu, Co, Mn, and Fe in addition to Ni and Br. These elements exist in the bulk of the original charge material in concentrations that are several orders of magnitude lower than that in the droplets. During crystal growth by sublimation the impurities collect on the surface of growing crystals, until sufficient concentrations are reached to cause the nucleation of a metastable liquid phase droplet. Once the liquid phase droplets have been nucleated, they may then become attached to growth steps and produce accelerated growth from these sites. Such processes occur in NiBr 2 , during growth by sublimation, at approximately 500 °C below the melting point of NiBr 2 .

Abrupt and prolonged enhancements in the intensities of 100 to approximately 2000 keV nucleon protons and alpha particles observed in interplanetary space are interpreted as particle populations confined between an interplanetary shock front and a magnetic field discontinuity. Prominent intensity spikes observed only below approximately 400 keV per charge for both protons and alpha particles several hours behind the shock front suggest that some fraction of the confined particles is accelerated by an energy per charge dependent process.
An extendable boom consisting of a series of telescopic cylindrical tube segments and overlapping lock joints developed for use as an aerodynamic spike mounted atop a missile is described. Two candidate design concepts differing mainly in the particular overlapping lock joint designs are undergoing a combined analytical/experimental evaluation. Some of the results of this evaluation are presented.
Observations are reported of a high-energy ion shock spike extending in energy to more than 25 MeV for protons, more than 4.3 MeV/nuc for alpha particles, and more than 1.6 MeV/nuc for medium nuclei with Z of at least 6. The measurements were obtained in the course of a solar-particle event on September 15, 1975, by the IMP-7 and IMP-8 spacecraft. It is shown that the observations can be reasonably accounted for by intensive acceleration of charged particles at an 'almost' perpendicular interplanetary shock wave. The data are inconsistent with a one-step d.c.-type acceleration process.
