Synthese und Kristallstruktur einer Neuen hexagonalen Modifikation von Al2S3 mit fünffach koordiniertem Aluminium

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Hexagonal Modification of Al₂S₃ with Five-coordinated Aluminum A new hexagonal high temperature modification of Al₂S₃ could be prepared by chemical vapour transport with iodine (860 → 750°C) or by annealing of α -Al₂S₃ at 550°C. According to the single crystal X-ray structure determination the novel form of Al₂S₃ crystallizes in space group P 6₁ (No. 169) with a = 6.491(1), c = 17.169(4) Å, V = 626.5 ų, Z = 6; R = 0.0253. In this modification one half of the aluminum atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated [d(Al? S): 2.226–2.267 Å], whereas the other half are in trigonal bipyramidal coordination of five S atoms with bond lengths of 2.272–2.315 Å (equatorial) and 2.495–2.521 Å (axial). Aluminum in AlS₅ coordination is observed for the first time in this compound. The crystal structure is isotypic to In₂Se₃ and AlInS₃. In addition, results of a refinement of the α -Al₂S₃ crystal structure are reported which were obtained on crystals prepared also by chemical vapour transport with iodine.

The agglomeration state of nanosecond laser-generated aerosol particles entering the ICP

Fundamental understanding of aerosol formation and particle transport are important aspects of understanding and improving laser-ablation ICP–MS. To obtain more information about particles entering the ICP, laser aerosols generated under different ablation conditions were collected on membrane filters. The particles and agglomerates were then visualised using scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. To determine variations between different sample matrices, opaque (USGS BCR-2G) and transparent (NIST SRM 610) glass, CaF₂, and brass (MBH B26) samples were ablated using two different laser wavelengths, 193 and 266 nm. This study showed that the condensed nano-particles (∼10 nm in diameter) formed by laser ablation reach the ICP as micron-sized agglomerates; this is apparent from filters which contain only a few well-separated particles and particle agglomerates. Ablation experiments on different metals and non-metals show that the structure of the agglomerates is matrix-dependent. Laser aerosols generated from silicates and metals form linear agglomerates whereas particle-agglomerates of ablated CaF₂ have cotton-like structures. Amongst other conditions, this study shows that the absorption characteristics of the sample and the laser wavelength determine the production of micron-sized spherical particles formed by liquid droplet ejection.     

Transport of monooleoylglycerol mediated by bile salt micelles across porous membranes

In order to study how the bile salts and lipids behave in the vicinity of microvillus, the transport properties of a sodium salt of deoxycholic acid (NaDC) and its mixture with monooleoylglycerol (MO) through artificial membranes were investigated in 0.15 M NaCl saline solution at 37°C.The hydrodynamic radius of MO-solubilized micelles was estimated to be approximately 17–20 Å from the transport study. The thermodynamically stable MO-NaDC mixed micelles formed above critical micelle concentration in the higher region of mole fraction of NaDC in the mixture (X _NaDC>ca. 0.6), can behave as a single species in transport process and freely pass through the porous membranes of both pore sizes, 0.01 m and 0.1 m.The permeabilities of MO-NaDC mixed micelles are large compared with those of pure NaDC micelles. MO molecules solubilized may probably enhance the interaction between MO and NaDC molecules by better contacting with the respective hydrophobic groups in a mixed micelle (the flexible structure of MO molecule enables it), and in this situation, the smaller micelles compared with those of pure NaDC must be more favorable.     

Multiple separatrix crossing in multi-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian flows

Summary We study separatrix crossing in near-integrablek-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian flows, 2 <k < , whose unperturbed phase portraits contain separatrices inn degrees of freedom, 1 <n <k. Each of the unperturbed separatrices can be recast as a codimension-one separatrix in the 2k-dimensional phase space, and the collection of these separatrices takes on a variety of geometrical possibilities in the reduced representation of a Poincaré section on the energy surface. In general 0 l n of the separatrices will be available to the Poincaré section, and each separatrix may be completely isolated from all other separatrices or intersect transversely with one or more of the other available separatrices. For completely isolated separatrices, transitions across broken separatrices are described for each separatrix by the single-separatrix crossing theory of Wiggins, as modified by Beigie. For intersecting separatrices, a possible violation of a normal hyperbolicity condition complicates the analysis by preventing the use of a persistence and smoothness theory for compact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds and their local stable and unstable manifolds. For certain classes of multi-degree-of-freedom flows, however, a local persistence and smoothness result is straightforward, and we study the global implications of such a local result. In particular, we find codimension-one partial barriers and turnstile boundaries associated with each partially destroyed separatrix. From the collection of partial barriers and turnstiles follows a rich phase space partitioning and transport formalism to describe the dynamics amongst the various degrees of freedom. A generalization of Wiggins' higher-dimensional Melnikov theory to codimension-one surfaces in the multi-separatrix case allows one to uncover invariant manifold geometry. In the context of this perturbative analysis and detailed numerical computations, we study invariant manifold geometry, phase space partitioning, and phase space transport, with particular attention payed to the role of a vanishing frequency in the limit approaching the intersection of the partially destroyed separatrices. The class of flows under consideration includes flows of basic physical relevance, such as those describing scattering phenomena. The analysis is illustrated in the context of a detailed study of a 3-degree-of-freedom scattering problem.     

Chemischer Transport und Sublimationsverhalten von CrBr3 — Experimente und Modellrechnungen

On the Chemical Transport and Sublimation of CrBr₃ — Experiments and Model Calculations The migration of CrBr₃ in the presence of high concentrations of bromine (for example D(Br₂) = 0,05 mmol/ml; closed silica ampoules) in the investigated temperature range (T? = 625°C to 875°C; T? = 50°C) is a result from the endothermic reaction The chemical transport of CrBr₃ is superimposed with the sublimation. With low concentrations of D(Br₂) and high temperatures T? is the sublimation decisive participated. This is a result of the homogenous equilibrium between CrBr_3,g and CrBr_4,g (2a) The reaction (2a) in comparison with the chemical transport of CrCl₃ with Cl₂ (Gl. (2b)) is more shifted to CrBr_3,g.

Heterogeneities of grain boundary arrangement in polycrystals

Data on mutual arrangements of different types of grain boundaries in polycrystals are presented. The heterogeneity in grain boundary distribution, namely, the effect of gathering low-angle or special tilt grain boundaries is found in pure aluminum thin films, in sheets of Fe-3% Si alloy and in Al₂O₃ doped with MgO or MgO and Y ₂O₃. The local texture, i.e., formation of colonies or clusters of close-oriented grains is considered as a reason of this heterogeneity. The influences of grain boundary gathering on the transport properties of polycrystals and on the crack propagation are discussed. A new concept of effective grain size is suggested to analyze the relationship between material microstructures and material properties.     

Discretization of the thermal excitation in highly excited matter

In this paper the thermal energy diffusion for quantum particles is described. The quantum heat transport equation is obtained. It is shown that, for a short-time thermal excitation (of the order of the relaxation time), the excited matter response is quantized on the different levels (atomic, nuclear, quark) with quantum thermal energy equalE ^atomic 9 eV,E ^nuclear 7 MeV, andE ^quark 139 MeV.     

An energy-transport model for semiconductors derived from the Boltzmann equation

An energy-transport model is rigorously derived from the Boltzmann transport equation of semiconductors under the hypothesis that the energy gain or loss of the electrons by the phonon collisions is weak. Retaining at leading order electron-electron collisions and elastic collisions (i.e., impurity scattering and the elastic part of phonon collisions), a rigorous diffusion limit of the Boltzmann equation can be carried over, which leads to a set of diffusion equations for the electron density and temperature. The derivation is given in both the degenerate and nondegenerate cases.
