Gas phase electronic spectrum of propadienylidene C3H2

The rotationally resolved vibronic bands in the forbidden electronic transition of the cumulene carbene C₃H₂ have been observed in the gas phase by cavity ring down absorption spectroscopy through a supersonic planar plasma with allene as precursor. The band detected in the 16 223 cm⁻¹ region is a result of vibronic interaction and is assigned to a combination of a₁ and b₂ vibrations with a frequency around 2250 cm⁻¹. Another vibronic band near 15 810 cm⁻¹ has an unusual rotational structure because the K_a = 0-1 subband is absent. It is assigned to a combination of a₁ and b₁ vibrations, ∼1850 cm⁻¹, which borrow intensity from the near lying state due to a-type Coriolis coupling. A rotational analysis using a conventional Hamiltonian for an asymmetric top molecule yields molecular constants for the vibrational excited levels of the ùA₂ state, which were used for the determination of the geometry. The stronger transition of C₃H₂, measured in a neon matrix in the 16 161-24 802 cm⁻¹ range, was not detected. The reason for this is a short lifetime of the state, leading to line broadening.     

Diffusion of excited state molecules in FIR- and CO2-lasers

Both standing waves in laser oscillators and spatially inhomogenous cross sections of laser beam and pumprate cause a non-uniform distribution of excited state molecules in longitudinal and transversal direction, respectively. This spatial hole burning however is smoothed by diffusion of the excited molecules. The effect of diffusion is investigated theoretically for an optically pumped far infrared laser as well as the corresponding CO₂ pump laser. It is found, that the remaining spatial hole burning in the direction of wave propagation is negligible within CO₂ lasers but not within FIR lasers. Concerning the transversal direction it can be shown that in the FIR laser diffusion takes no effect, whereas the transversal distribution of the excited molecules in the CO₂ laser is significantly influenced by diffusion.FIR ring lasers avoid longitudinal spatial hole burning, which leads to the common assumption that they use the active medium more efficient than conventional standing wave lasers, hence delivering higher output powers. This expected advantage is levelled out to a great extent by diffusion.     

Rotationally resolved electronic spectroscopy of a nonlinear carbon chain radical C6H4

Rotationally resolved electronic spectrum of the origin band in the 2A″-X2A″ transition of a nonlinear carbon chain radical C₆H₄⁺ has been recorded in the 604 nm region using cw cavity ring down spectroscopy. The radical was produced by a discharge through an acetylene-helium mixture in a supersonic planar expansion. The rotational structure has been analysed and precisely determined. A band having a-type prolate rotational structure has also been observed near 581 nm. By considering the results of ab initio calculations this band is assigned to a transition involving the excitation of the ν₁₂ fundamental in the upper 2A″ electronic state of the same C₆H₄⁺ isomer.     

The ν1 + 3ν2 + 3ν3 and 4ν1 + ν2 + ν3 bands of ozone by CW-cavity ring down spectroscopy between 5900 and 5960 cm

The absorption spectrum of ozone, ¹⁶O₃, has been recorded in the 5903-5960 cm⁻¹ region by high sensitivity CW-cavity ring down spectroscopy (α_min ∼ 5 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm⁻¹). The ν₁ + 3ν₂ + 3ν₃ and 4ν₁ + ν₂ + ν₃ A-type bands centred at 5919.15 and 5947.07 cm⁻¹ were newly observed. A set of 173 and 168 energy levels could be experimentally determined for the (1 3 3) and (4 1 1) states, respectively. Except for a few K_a = 5 levels of the (4 1 1) state, the rotational structure of the two states was found mostly unperturbed. The spectroscopic parameters were determined from a fit of the corresponding line positions by considering the (1 3 3) and (4 1 1) states as isolated. The determined effective Hamiltonian and transition moment operators were used to generate a list of 785 transitions given as Supplementary Material.     

Thermal expansion and magnetostriction in Pr(n+2)(n+1)Nin(n−1)+2Sin(n+1) compounds

Thermal expansion and magnetostriction of members of a homologous series of compounds based on the alloy series Pr_(n+2)(n+1)Ni_n(n−1)+2Si_n(n+1) have been measured. The crystal structures of these compounds are closely interrelated because they form trigonal prismatic columns in which the number of trigonal prisms that form the base of the trigonal columns is determined by the value of n in the chemical formula. Two compositions were investigated, Pr₅Ni₂Si₃ and Pr₁₅Ni₇Si₁₀, corresponding to n=3$n=3$ and n=4,$n=4,$ respectively. The results were analyzed and used to determine the location of magnetic phase transitions by calculating the magnetic contribution to thermal expansion using the Gruneisen–Debye theory. This allowed more precise determination of the magnetic transition temperatures than could be achieved using the total thermal expansion. The results show two phase transitions in each material, one corresponding to the Curie temperature and the other at a lower temperature exhibiting characteristics of a spin reorientation transition.     

Preparation and magnetic properties of BaFe12O19/Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 nanocomposite ferrite

Nanocomposite of hard (BaFe₁₂O₁₉)/soft ferrite (Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄) have been prepared by the sol–gel process. The nanocomposite ferrite are formed when the calcining temperature is above 800 °C. It is found that the magnetic properties strongly depend on the presintering treatment and calcining temperature. The “bee waist” type hysteresis loops for samples disappear when the presintering temperature is 400 °C and the calcination temperature reaches 1100 °C owing to the exchange-coupling interaction. The remanence of BaFe₁₂O₁₉/Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite ferrite with the mass ratio of 5:1 is higher than a single phase ferrite. The specific saturation magnetization, remanence magnetization and coercivity are 63 emu/g, 36 emu/g and 2750 G, respectively. The exchange-coupling interaction in the BaFe₁₂O₁₉/Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite ferrite is discussed.     

Structure, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (Bi1−x−yNa0.925−x−yLi0.075)0.5BaxSryTiO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

Lead-free multi-component ceramics (Bi_1−x−yNa_{0.925−x−y}Li_0.075)_0.5Ba_xSr_yTiO₃ have been prepared by an ordinary sintering technique and their structure and electrical properties have been studied. All the ceramics can be well-sintered at 1100 °C. X-ray diffraction patterns shows that Li⁺, Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ diffuse into the Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ lattices to form a new solid solution with a pure perovskite structure, and a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is formed at 0.04 < x < 0.08. As compared to pure Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ ceramic, the coercive field E_C of the ceramics decreases greatly and the remanent polarization P_r of the ceramics increases significantly after the formation of the multi-component solid solution. Due to the MPB, lower E_C and higher P_r, the piezoelectricity of the ceramics is greatly improved. For the ceramics with the compositions near the MPB (x = 0.04–0.08 and y = 0.02–0.04), piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = 133–193 pC/N and planar electromechanical coupling factor k_P = 16.2–32.1%. The depolarization temperature T_d reaches a minimum value near the MPB. The temperature dependences of the ferroelectric and dielectric properties suggest that the ceramics may contain both the polar and non-polar regions at temperatures near/above T_d.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of Yb8Ag18.5Al47.5, Yb2Pd2Cd and Yb1.35Pd2Cd0.65

We report the synthesis of three new Yb-based compounds, Yb₈Ag_18.5Al_47.5 (Yb₈Cu₁₇Al₄₉-type, tetragonal tI74–I4/mmm), Yb₂Pd₂Cd (Mo₂B₂Fe-type, tetragonal tP10-P4/mbm) and Yb_1.35Pd₂Cd_0.65 (MnCu₂Al-type, cubic cF16–Fm3¯m). The crystal symmetry of these compounds has been determined and the complete structural characterisation carried out by single crystal and powder diffraction techniques. Two symmetry in-equivalent sites are available for the Yb ions in Yb₈Ag_18.5Al_47.5 and Yb_1.35Pd₂Cd_0.65. The 4f levels of the Yb ions are appreciably hybridised in Yb₈Ag_18.5Al_47.5 and to a lesser extent in Yb₂Pd₂Cd as inferred from the magnetisation and heat capacity data. Signatures of heavy fermion behaviour are observed in the heat capacity data of Yb₂Pd₂Cd in which the heat capacity, C/T, increases at low temperatures attaining a value of ≈600 mJ/mol K² at 1.8 K. The electrical resistivity of Yb₂Pd₂Cd follows a linear variation with temperature, T, between 1.4 and 5 K, thus indicating a possible non-Fermi liquid behaviour. In contrast, Yb ions are trivalent in Yb_1.35Pd₂Cd_0.65 and order magnetically near 1.4 K.     

Double-ceramic-layer thermal barrier coatings based on La2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7/La2Ce2O7 deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition

Double-ceramic-layer (DCL) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) of La₂(Zr_0.7Ce_0.3)₂O₇ (LZ7C3) and La₂Ce₂O₇ (LC) were deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). The composition, interdiffusion, surface and cross-sectional morphologies, cyclic oxidation behavior of DCL coating were studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that both LZ7C3 and LC coatings are effectively fabricated by a single LZ7C3 ingot with properly controlling the deposition energy. The chemical compatibility of LC coating and thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer is unstable. LaAlO₃ is formed due to the chemical reaction between LC and Al₂O₃ which is the main composition of TGO layer. Additionally, the thermal cycling behavior of DCL coating is influenced by the interdiffusion of Zr and Ce between LZ7C3 and LC coatings. The failure of DCL coating is a result of the sintering of LZ7C3 coating surface, the chemical incompatibility of LC coating and TGO layer and the abnormal oxidation of bond coat. Since no single material that has been studied so far satisfies all the requirements for high temperature applications, DCL coating is an important development direction of TBCs.

The wavelengths of these FIR laser lines were determined together with their optimum pressures and relative intensities.
