Deuterium kinetic isotope effects and H/D exchange in dimerization of acetylene with a Nieuwland catalyst in aqueous media

Deuterium kinetic isotope effects were observed in the dimerization of acetylene with a Nieuwland catalyst in an aqueous media, where the copper–acetylene and copper–monovinylacetylene (MVA) π‐complexes were detected as intermediates by ¹H NMR. The copper–acetylene π‐complex is responsible for an efficient H/D exchange between acetylene and proton (or deuteron) of water, which occurs rapidly with a Nieuwland catalyst. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects and the rapid H/D exchange reaction together with the detection of the copper–acetylene and copper–MVA π‐complexes provide deeper insight into the catalytic mechanism of the Nieuwland catalysis for the dimerization of acetylene.

Computational study of redox active centres of blue copper proteins: a computational DFT study

Active sites of blue copper proteins in both reduced and oxidized states were studied at the Density Functional Theory (DFT) level. Two families of these redox sites were examined: the Type A centres with methionine ligand as fourth residue and the Type B with glutamine residue. Constrained and full optimizations were performed on the protein data bank structures in vacuo and in implicit solvent model simulating protein and water environments. It was found that the redox sites do not possess optimum geometries regardless of the oxidation state. The axial Cu-ligand bond elongates/shortens in the fully optimized Cu(I)/Cu(II) complexes. The reduced centres have a tendency to decrease the coordination number, while a trend to form four ‘equivalent’ bonds is preferred in the oxidized centres. Comparison of the full and constrained optimizations also revealed that the A centres exhibit lower relaxation energies. In the constrained structures, a higher ionization potential was predicted for the A centres when compared with the B centres regardless of the influence of environment. The calculated relative difference of the redox potentials between various A and B centres is in good agreement with the experimental data. In the fully optimized complexes, the redox properties are dependent on the environment but usually higher IP for the B centres is predicted. Partial charges, MOs, and spin density distributions (obtained by natural population analysis) were analysed together with calculated electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra for deeper understanding of the results obtained.     

Copper metallization for ULSL and beyond

The investigation of copper for use as an interconnection metal in the ultra large-scale integration (ULSI) era of silicon integrated circuits has accelerated in the past several years. The obvious advantages for using copper to replace currently used Al are related to its lower resistivity (1.7 μΩ-cm vs. 2.7 μω-cm for Al) and its higher electromigration resistance (several orders of magnitude higher compared with Al). The goal of this review is to examine the properties of copper and its applicability as the interconnection metal. A comparison of electromigration behavior of various possible interconnection metal in standard “bulk” state is made. This is followed by a review of the calculations made comparing (a) the RC (resistance × capacitance) time constants of various material systems and (b) the joule heating of the interconnection materials. A comparative study of various metal systems for the application as the interconnect metal is then made. These discussions will clearly establish the superiority of copper over other metals despite certain limitations of copper. We then review the properties, both physical and chemical, and materials science of copper. The concept of using alloys of copper with a minimal sacrifice on resistivity to gain reliability is also discussed. This is followed by the review of the deposition, pattern definition and etching. passivation, need of the diffusion barrier (DB) and adhesion promoter (AP), planarization and dual damascene process using chemical mechanical planarization, and reliability. This review shows that copper will satisfy the needs of the future integrated circuits and provide high performance and reliability as long as we provide an appropriate barrier to diffusion in the underlying devices and the dielectric.

D3+D6 solution and D4+D6 solution

We make the supergravity solutions describing the branes (D3 branes and D4 branes) localized within the D6 branes in the near core region of D6 brane. From the D=11 solutions (M3 branes and M4 branes with the Z_N identifications in the transverse space) we obtain the D=10 supergravity solutions of D3 branes localized within D6 branes and D4 branes localized within D6 branes by reducing the dimension down to D=10 along a circular direction of S³ part of the transverse space. M3 brane solution leads to D=10 background representing D3 branes localized on D6 branes in the region close to the D6 branes core. M4 branes lead to the D4 branes localized on D6 branes in the region close to the D6 brane core.     

Comparison of SERS effectiveness of copper substrates prepared by different methods: what are the values of enhancement factors?

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is an analytical method for the detection of low amounts of analytes adsorbed on an appropriate coinage metal (Au, Ag, Cu) surface. Generally, the values of the enhancement factor are the highest on silver, lower on gold and relatively very low on copper. In this study, we have focused on the estimation of the enhancement factors of copper surface/substrates formed by different preparation procedures. The SERS activity of large electrochemically prepared substrates and colloidal systems is compared. The surface morphology of the large substrates was studied using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The size distribution of colloidal nanoparticles was monitored by dynamic light scattering. The values of enhancement factor are in both cases more than 10⁵ for the FT‐SERS spectra, demonstrating the fundamental role of nanostructured copper as a substrate material at the excitation wavelength (1064 nm) used.

Supercomputer simulation of cracks and fractures by quasimolecular dynamics

A modern method for predicting the time and place of crack and fracture development is through molecular dynamics, which studies reactions to external forces in the small, that is, the molecular level. In quasimolecular dynamics, which is an attempt to bridge the gap between atomistic and continuum simulations, molecules are aggregated into larger units, called quasimolecules, to simulate the large scale behavior. In this first paper, quasimolecular dynamics is applied to the study of crack and fracture generation in a stressed, slotted plate made of pure copper. Conservation of mass and energy is basic to the methodology.     

A Numerical Calculation for Electron Impact Excitation of Copper

The scattering of electrons by atomic copper has been studied using Born approximation and the concept of the generalized oscillator strength (GOS). Differential and total cross-sections for the excitation of the 3d¹⁰ 4p² P state are calculated at incident energies of 100 eV and are compared with other available experimental and theoretical data. The agreement between our calculation for the differential cross-section and the available experimental results is fairly good at the forward angles, while the agreement at large angles is poor. The calculated total cross-sections are compared with the experimental data and those predicted by several theories. It is found that our calculation for the total cross-sections are in a good agreement with the close coupling calculation of Msezane and Henry (1986a, Physical Review A 33, 1631) for incident energies greater than 20 eV. The integrated cross-section measurements of Ismail and Teubner (1995, Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 28, 4164) are in good agreement with the present calculation.     

Underwater explosive compaction-sintering of tungsten–copper coating on a copper surface

This study investigated underwater explosive compaction-sintering for coating a high-density tungsten–copper composite on a copper surface. First, 50% W–50% Cu tungsten–copper composite powder was prepared by mechanical alloying. The composite powder was pre-compacted and sintered by hydrogen. Underwater explosive compaction was carried out. Finally, a high-density tungsten–copper coating was obtained by diffusion sintering of the specimen after explosive compaction. A simulation of the underwater explosive compaction process showed that the peak value of the pressure in the coating was between 3.0 and 4.8?GPa. The hardness values of the tungsten–copper layer and the copper substrate were in the range of 87–133 and 49?HV, respectively. The bonding strength between the coating and the substrate was approximately 100–105?MPa.     

Radiotracer Investigation of the Copper Ore Concentration Process

One of the most difficult operations for control and identification in copper ore concentration process is grain classification in hydrocyclone batteries. In the paper radiotracer investigations of the classification process immediately give values of hydrocyclones parameters with higher accuracy than obtained from conventional methods. Presented paper includes the results of the investigation which was carried out in “Lubin” Copper Mine in Poland.     

Photoinduced growth of Cu nanoparticles on ZnO from CuCl<Subscript>2</Subscript> in methanol

Cu nanoparticles were formed on surface of nano-ZnO by UV light induced photoreduction of CuCl₂ in methanol solution suspended with ZnO nanoparticles. By controlling the reaction conditions, the average size of the produced copper nanocrystal can be fine-tuned in the range of 10–200 nm. At constant UV irradiation, the Cu nanocrystals gradually grew up as the initial concentration of copper cation was increased, showing that the in situ formed Cu nanoparticles act as a bridge to facilitate the transferring of photoexcited electrons from ZnO surface to Cu²⁺ in solution. A Redox property was also proved for the Cu nanoparticles.     

Energy and structure of copper clusters （n=70-150） studied by the Monte Carlo computer simulation

The structure and binding energy of copper clusters of the size range 70 to 150 were studied by using the embeddedatom method. The stability of the structure of the clusters was studied by calculating the average binding energy per atom, first difference energy and second difference energy of copper cluster. Most of the copper clusters of the size n=70-150 adopt an icosahedral structure. The results show that the trends are in agreement with theoretic prediction for copper clusters. The most stable structures for copper clusters are found at n=77, 90, 95, 131, 139.     

High-temperature superconductivity in the 100 K region in perovskite-related oxides of the Ln-Ba-Cu-O (Ln=Y or La) system

Comparison of 1D, 2D and 3D quench onset simulations

Measured and simulated minimum quench energies (MQE) for short samples are doubtful when estimating disturbance tolerance of an impregnated superconducting magnet. If measurements are performed at liquid cryogen, the cooling provided by the cryogen causes MQE to be high. At a conduction-cooled system, the transverse heat conduction is neglected causing low MQE. Even though these conditions can be artificially brought closer to the ones in an impregnated magnet, it is difficult to estimate by short-sample measurement the MQE of a superconducting coil. These similar difficulties are present at simulations. On the other hand, 1D and 2D measurements and simulations can be used, e.g., to compare wires or consider effect of insulation layer thickness, but according to the results only in a rough quantitative way. In this paper, we compare MQE and normal zone propagation velocity simulations of an MgB₂ wire with 1D, 2D and 3D finite element method models to focus on the different results given by the models employing different dimensions.     

Characteristics of the synchronization method of the generator-amplifier system based on copper vapor lasers

A system “reference generator — spatial filter-collimator — power amplifier based on copper vapor laser” is considered. The proposed system is adapted for microprocessing and provides production of a high-quality laser beam with a divergence of θ = 0.09 mrad, pulse duration of 20 ns, and an average power of 20 W. The possibility is shown to obtain any preset sequence of pulses during processing.     

2D gravity+1D matter

We consider a formulation of nonperturbative two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to a single bosonic field (d=1 matter). Starting from a matrix realization of the discretized model, we express the continuum theory as a double scaling limit in which the 2D cosmological constant g tends towards a critical value g_c, and the string coupling 1/N→0, with the scaling parameter ∝1n (g-g_c)/(g-g_c)N held fixed. We find that in this formulation logarithmic corrections already present at tree level persist to all higher genus, suggesting a behavior different from the previously considered cases of d<1 matter.
