Bimodal fission in binary and ternary spontaneous fission of 252Cf

The hot bimodal fission of ²⁵²Cf is reexamined with new high-statistics data. We constructed a γ-γ-γ coincidence cube for binary fission and LCP-gated γ-γ matrix for ternary fission. By identifying the secondary fission fragments from their γ-ray transitions, we measured the yields for various fission splits. The normal neutron yield distribution is found to be Gaussian for Xe-Ru. However, the binary fission split of Ba-Mo is found to exhibit a bimodal neutron distribution with the “hot mode” corresponding to ≈3.1% of the total yield. In α ternary fission, the first measurements of yields for specific fission splits are presented. The Te-α-Ru and Xe-α-Mo neutron yields fit well with a single mode, but the Ba-α-Zr split shows evidence for an enhanced hot mode with an intensity of ≈13.8% of the normal mode.

New data on the ternary fission of 252Cf from the Gammasphere facility

Ternary fission of ²⁵²Cf was studied at Gammasphere using eight ΔE×E particle telescopes. Helium, beryllium, boron, and carbon light charged particles (LCPs) emitted with kinetic energy more than 9, 21, 26, and 32 MeV, respectively, were identified. The 3368-keV γ transition from the first 2⁺ excited state in ¹⁰Be was found and the population probability ratio N(2⁺)/N(0⁺) = 0.160 ± 0.025 was estimated. No evidence was found for 3368-keV γ rays emitted from a triple molecular state. For the first time, charge distributions are obtained for ternary fission fragments emitted with helium, beryllium, and carbon LCPs.     

Mass-spectrometric characteristics of glycidyl and thioglycidyl ethers

The principles of the fragmentation of the simplest glycidyl and thioglycidyl ethers under the influence of electron impact, which were discovered by comparison of the spectra of homologs using data from photoelectronic spectroscopy and optical mass spectrometry, are examined as a manifestation of the general characteristics of the fragmentation of bifunctional compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 739–745, June, 1988.     

Hydrogenation of benzene on sulfide catalysts in the presence of thiophene

The principles of benzene hydrogenation have been studied with sulfide catalysts NI/MS₂, Ni/SiO₂, M/SiO₂ and (Ni, M)/SiO₂ (M=Mo, W) obtained via metal complex precursors or by impregnation. In bimetallic catalysts active sites of benzene hydrogenation are formed upon reduction of the active component for thiophene hydrogenolysis.

Catalysis of thiophene hydrogenolysis by bimetallic sulfide catalysts of different compositions

The activity of sulfide catalysts M_I/SiO₂, M_I/WS₂, (M_I,W)/SiO₂ and (Ni,M_II)/SiO₂ (M_I is a first row transition metal, and M_II=Nb, Mo, W or Re) in the thiophene hydrogenolysis reaction has been studied. Activities of mono- and bimetallic catalysts are found to change in the same manner depending upon the nature of M_I. The formation of a sulfide bimetallic species (SBMS) is suggested.

Evolution of the structural and superconducting properties of FeSe crystals upon long-term storage

A comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the structural and superconducting properties of FeSe crystals stored in air for several years has been performed. It is established that the structure and phase composition of the samples remained invariable, while the superconducting parameters significantly degraded. These changes may be due to the stress relaxation or redistribution of defects in the samples.     

Peculiarities of the interaction of polycrystalline aluminum with aqueous solutions of gallium

We study the effect of gallium-containing aqueous solutions on polycrystalline aluminum. The procedure for kinetic studies of the selected system is described. It is found that in the reaction of polycrystalline aluminum with gallium-containing aqueous solutions, gallium penetrates along the aluminum grain boundaries, which, upon the application of external stress, leads to failure of the sample. It is found that gallium can penetrate along the aluminum grain boundaries both in the liquid and solid state; the rates of penetration of gallium in the liquid and solid states are determined.
