Yttrium aluminate crystals for slabs

The methods of growing YAG:Nd crystals with a flat interface and YAP:Nd crystals with a sharp conical interface are described. The form of the interface was controlled by the He and H₂O content in the reducing atmosphere composed mainly of Ar and H₂ as well as by axial temperature gradient above the melt level. The crystals of 120–180 mm in length were machined to the high-quality slabs.     

Comparative analysis of (p,d), (d,t) and (3He, α) reactions on13C nucleus

The angular distributions of the (p, d), (d, t) and(³He, ) reactions on¹³C have been analysed within the framework of DWBA in which additional information on nuclear vertex constants was introduced. Although all these reactions seem to be similar single nucleon transfer, their mechanism is shown to be quite different and so is the information extracted thereof. While from the (p, d) reactions spectroscopic factors may be extracted unambiguously, from the (d, t) reactions it is possible to obtain directly the values of vertex constants only, which in turn are consistent with those determined by extrapolation of the experimental cross sections of the (p, d) reactions to the pole.In the case of (³He, ) reactions, however, the analysis indicates inadequacy of the DWBA concerning the calculations of central partial amplitudes. For a more reliable extraction of structural information, besides the correct normalization of peripheral amplitudes, a contribution of more complex mechanisms must be taken into account.     

Cartesian currents,weak diffeomorphisms and existence theorems in nonlinear elasticity

Summary In this paper we introduce some new classes of functions, among these a class of weak diffeomorphisms. In these classes we prove by direct methods the existence of minimizers for several kinds of variational integrals. In particular, we prove the existence of one-to-one orientation-preserving maps that minimize suitable energies associated with hyperelastic materials. The minimizers are also proved to satisfy equilibrium equations. Finally radial deformations are discussed in connection with cavitation.     

Messung der Gewebetemperatur mit infrarotem Thermometer in einer Trockenanlage

Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine theoretische Analyse der kontaktlosen Temperaturmessung des an der Spann-, Trocken- und Fixiermaschine bearbeiteten Gewebes vorgenommen. Der Einfluß der Trocknerwand ist durch die Korrektive Funktion ausgedrückt, zu deren Festlegung ein allgemein anwendbares Diagramm zusammengestellt wurde. Dabei wird die Tatsache berücksichtigt, daß die Messung in einem beschränkten Teil des Spektrums durchgeführt wird, welcher außerhalb der Wasserdampfabsorptionsbänder liegt.

Measuring temperature of textiles in driers with infrared thermometer

The paper undertakes a theoretical analysis of contactless temperature measurement of textiles processed on a stretching, drying and fixation machine. The effect of the drier wall is expressed through a corrective function for whose determination a universal diagram has been established. The measurements have been performed in a narrow part of the spectrum lying outside the water vapour absorption bands.

Linear mode conversion of waves near the maxima or minima of the density in a warm magnetized plasma

Behaviour of the h. f. electrostatic waves near the plasma or upper hybrid resonances was studied in the case that these resonances are situated at the maxima or minima of the plasma density. Supposing the parabolic density profile in these regions we obtained the connection formulae for the WKB solutions. In a weakly inhomogeneous magnetoplasma the effect of the parabolic profile manifests itself only in narrow frequency band centred at the resonance frequency corresponding to the extreme value of the density. The whole process can be then described by only two coefficients, viz. the power conversion and power transmission coefficients.     

Strukturelle Charakterisierung der Dicyanamid-Komplexe von Kupfer(II), Nickel(II) bzw. Kobalt(II) mit Aminopyridinen

Summary New dicyanamide complexes of the typeM[N(CN)₂]₂ L ₂ (M=Cu or Ni;L=2-, 3-, 4-aminopyridine, 2-amino-5-nitropyridine) and Co[N(CN)₂]₂ (2-amino-5-nitropyridine)₂ were prepared and studied by spectroscopic methods as well as by room-temperature magnetic moments. The results show that the Cu(II) complexes have elongated pseudooctahedral structures while the Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes are octahedral. In most cases the N(CN)₂ groups are in bridging function and through their cyanide nitrogens, or-more rarely-amide and cyanide nitrogens connect the basic structure units into polymeric conglomerates. In the Cu(II) systems exchange coupling is seen from the _eff value or ESR spectrum.

Amperometric flow-injection analysis of hydrazine by electrocatalytic oxidation at cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin modified electrode with heat treatment

Chemically modified electrodes prepared by treating the cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin modified glassy-carbon electrode at 750 degrees (HCME) are shown to catalyze the electrooxidation of hydrazine. The oxidation occurred at +0.63 V vs. Ag/AgCl (saturated potassium chloride) in pH 2.5 media. The catalytic response is evaluated with respect to solution pH, potential scan-rate, concentration dependence and flow-rate. The catalytic stability of the HCME is compared with that of the cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin adsorbed glassy-carbon electrode. The stability of the HCME was excellent in acidic solution and even in solutions containing organic solvent (50% CH(3)OH). When used as the sensing electrode in amperometric detection in flow-injection analysis, the HCME permitted sensitive detection of hydrazine at 0.5 V. The limit of detection was 0.1 ng. The linear range was from 50 ng to 2.4 mug. The method is very sensitive and selective.     

Large-area boron carbide protective coatings for controlled thermonuclear research prepared byin situ plasma CVD

Impurity release from the first wall and components facing the hot plasma in Tokamak devices for controlled fusion research and the concomitant pollution of the plasma lead to enhanced energy losses and deuterium-tritium luel dilution. Both these effects can prevent reaching the ignition conditions. The recently developed technique for large areain situ deposition of boron carbide protective coatings by means of plasma-induced chemical vapor deposition enables one to significantly improve the purity of the fusion plasma. The prospects of approaching the scientific break-even in the large machines of the Tokarnak type has been increased.Extended version of an invited paper presented at the 10th International Symposium on Boron, Borides, and Related Compounds, Albuquerque, New Mexico, August 1990.The term Tokarnak is an abbreviation of the Russian name toroidal magnetic chamber.     

CuO—ZnO／Al2O3—TiO2催化剂中TiO2的结构和电子效应

采用XPS,XRD,TPR,TPD和指标反应等方法研究了TiO_2在负载型CuO-ZnO/Al_2O_3-TiO_2催化剂中所起的作用.发现TiO_2起双重作用,即结构效应和电子效应,TiO_2的结构效应主要表现为它改善了CuO在载体上的分布.TiO_2的电子效应表现为它对Cu~0具有吸电子的作用,从而削弱了Cu和S之间的吸附力,使S容易脱除.另外,部分还原形成的Ti~(3+)具有促进CuS中的Cu~(2+)还原为Cu~0的能力,TiO_2的上述效应的综合结果使催化剂的抗硫中毒性能大大增强.
