Hyperfine structure of CH3OH

Hyperfine structure of the (0, 0, 1) - (1, 0, 1) transition of methanol has been investigated by beam absorption and of the (J, 1, 3?) → (J, 1, 3+) transitions for J = 2, 3, and 6 by beam-maser spectroscopy. The best-fit results for the spin-rotation and spin-spin coupling constants $\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{JK\tau \pm }}{}^{\mathrm{(i)}}$ and $\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{JK\tau \pm }}{}^{\mathrm{(i)}}$, respectively, are in kHz¹: $\text{C}{}_{101}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}\text{= 2.4(10)}$, $\text{C}{}_{101}{}^{\mathrm{(2)}}\text{= ?0.6(10)}$, $\text{D}{}_{101}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}\text{= ?13.8(9)}$, $\text{D}{}_{101}{}^{\mathrm{(2)}}\text{= 7.0(9)}$, $\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{213?}}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}\text{= ?5.0(10)}$, $\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{213?}}{}^{\mathrm{(2)}}\text{= ?5.5(10)}$ and ($\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{J13?}}{}^{\mathrm{(2)}}\text{- C}{}_{\mathrm{J13+}}{}^{\mathrm{(2)}}\text{) = 0.98(9)}$.     

Anomalous temperature dependence of third-order elastic constants in NH4Cl and NH4Br near the λ point

Second order elastic constants of NH₄Cl and NH₄Br crystals were measured under hydrostatic and uniaxial pressures near the λ-type phase transitions. Third order elastic constants were calculated from the pressure derivatives of the second order elastic constants. Results show that the temperature dependences of the third order elastic constants of NH₄Cl differ from those of NH₄Br dramatically. In addition, it is found that the coefficients $\text{1}\text{54}\text{(C}{}_{111}\text{+ 6C}{}_{112}\text{+ 2C}{}_{123}\text{)}$ and $\text{(}\text{1}\text{24}\text{√3)(C}{}_{111}\text{? 3C}{}_{112}\text{+ 2C}{}_{123}\text{)}$ of strains in the free energy of NH₄Cl show quite different temperature dependences from those of NH₄Br.     

The elastic behaviour of the ternary zincblende structure semiconductor CuGe2P3

A single crystal has been grown of CuGe₂P₃, a ternary semiconductor with a zincblende structure in which the copper and germanium atoms are randomly distributed on the cation sites. The second order elastic constants measured by the ultrasonic pulse echo overlap technique (C₁₁ = 13.66, C₁₂ = 6.17, C₄₄ = 6.66 and bulk modulus B = 8.67 in units of 10¹⁰Nm^?2 at 291 K) are closely similar to those of GaP and conform well to Keyes' correlation for zincblende structure crystals. The hydrostatic pressure derivatives of the second order elastic constants ($\text{?C}{}_{11}\text{?P}\text{= 4.40}$, $\text{?C}{}_{12}\text{?P}\text{= 3.9}$, $\text{?C}{}_{44}\text{?P}\text{= 0.93}$ and $\text{?B}\text{?P}\text{= 4.07}$) and the third order elastic constants (C₁₁₁ = ? 8.45, C₁₁₂ = ? 3.49, C₁₂₃ = ? 1.13, C₁₄₄ = ? 2.82, C₁₅₅ = ? 1.44 and C₄₅₆ = ? 0.69 in units of 10¹¹Nm^?2) also resemble those of GaP: even the anharmonicity of the long wavelength acoustic modes of this ternary semiconductor resembles that of its binary “parent” compound. The positive signs of the hydrostatic pressure derivatives and the negative signs of the third order elastic constants show that the acoustic modes at the long wavelength limit stiffen under pressure, an effect which is quantified here by computation of the mode Grüneisen parameters, which are all positive. The harmonic and anharmonic force constants, obtained in the valence force field model, fit well into the pattern shown by related zincblende structure compounds: the ratio ($\text{β}\text{α}$) for bond bending (β) to stretching (α) force constants is greater than 4:1; the dominating anharmonic force constant is γ: most of the anharmonicity is associated with nearest neighbour atoms. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the elastic constants on the basis of a simple anharmonic model again emphasises the similarity between the elastic behaviour of CuGe₂P₃ and GaP. The thermal expansion of CuGe₂P₃ varies almost linearly with temperature between 291 K and 1000 K, the linear coefficient of thermal expansion α being 8.21 ± 0.02 × 10^?6 °C^?1. The similar lattice parameters and elastic behaviour of CuGe₂P₃ and GaP indicate that semiconducting devices made of epitaxial deposits of CuGe₂P₃ on a GaP substrate should prove to be almost strain-free.     

Infrared bands of 12C2HD

The rotational structure of about 40 bands of ¹²C₂HD observed in the region 6000?600 cm^?1 has been measured and interpreted with the purpose of determining a comprehensive set of molecular constants for this isotopic variety of acetylene. Combining these data with the results for ¹²C₂H₂ and ¹²C₂D₂, a reevaluation of the equilibrium internuclear distances for the acetylene molecule has been made: $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(CH) = 1.06215 ± 17 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}\text{A}\text{?}$ and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(CC) = 1.20257 ± 9 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}\text{A}\text{?}$ were obtained. This paper presents all the molecular constants derived in this study.     

Analysis of the Raman spectrum of SF6

The Raman active fundamentals ν₁(A1g), ν₂(Eg), ν₅(F2g), and the overtone 2ν₆ of SF₆ have been investigated with a higher resolution and the band origins were estimated to be: ν₁ = 774.53 cm^?1, ν₂ = 643.35 cm^?1, ν₅ = 523.5 cm^?1, and 2ν₆ = 693.8 cm^?1. Raman and infrared data have been combined for estimation of several anharmonicity constants. The ν₆ fundamental frequency is calculated as 347.0 cm^?1. From the analysis of the ν₂ Raman band, the following rotational constants of both the ground and upper states have been calculated:

$\text{B}{}_0\text{= 0.09111 ± 0.00005}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{; D}{}_0\text{= (0.16±0.08)10}{}^{\mathrm{?7}}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$

Temperature and pressure dependence of the elastic property of GeS2 glass

The sound velocities in GeS₂ glass have been measured by means of ultrasonic interferometry as a function of temperature or pressure up to 1.8 kbar. The bulk modulus K_s = 117.6 kbar and shear modulus G = 60.60 kbar were obtained for GeS₂ glass at 15°C and 1 atm. The temperature derivatives of both sound velocities and elastic moduli are negative :

The elastic behavior of GeS₂ glass has proved to be normal despite the structural similarity among the tetrahedrally coordinated SiO₂, GeO₂ and GeS₂ glasses.     

Electric dipole transition cross sections and effective site symmetry of Eu3+ in pseudocentric K5Eu(MoO4)4

The fluorescence and absorption spectra of Eu³⁺ in K₅Eu(MoO₄)₄ have been measured at 300 K and 77 K. The fluorescence lifetime of the ⁵D₀ state is 1.4 ms at 300 K. The largest cross section $\text{σ(}{}^5\text{D}{}_0\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_2\text{(4)) = 1.3 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?21}}\text{cm}{}^2$ and the removal of degeneracies require to replace the nearest neighbour D_3d symmetry of Eu³⁺ by the effective symmetries C₁, C₂ and C_s of the whole unit cell. It is shown that C₁ dominates because of the statistical distribution of K⁺ and Eu³⁺. The corresponding inhomogeneous broadening is observed at 77 K.     

Kerr-effect and dielectric tensor elements of magnetite (Fe3O4) between 0.5 and 4.3 eV

The complex polar Kerr effect (rotation and ellipticity) of magnetite single crystals has been measured at room temperature between 0.5 and 4.3 eV. From the magneto-optical data and the optical constants, the off-diagonal elements (?_xy) of the dielectric tensor has been derived. Three well separated magneto-optical transitions have been indentified. At about 0.75 eV one strong magneto-optical structure with a diamagnetic line shape is assigned to a $\text{3d}{}^6\text{→3d}{}^5\text{(}{}^6\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{1g}}\text{) 4s}$ transition from Fe²⁺ in octahedral sites. Two other structures with paramagnetic line shapes near 1.85 and 2.90 eV are assigned to the orbital promotion processes $\text{3d}{}^6\text{(Fe}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}{}_{\mathrm{oct}}\text{)→3d}{}^5\text{(}{}^4\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{1g}}\text{) 4s}$ and $\text{3d}{}^5\text{(Fe}{}^{\mathrm{3+}}{}_{\mathrm{tet}}\text{)→3d}{}^4\text{(}{}^5\text{T}{}_2\text{) 4s}$, respectively, which take into account Fe 3d^n?1 final state effects.

The energy levels comprising the $\text{(1σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>g</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^2\text{(1σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>u</mtext>}}\text{)ndλ(}{}^3\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$ and the $\text{(1σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>g</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^2\text{(1σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>u</mtext>}}\text{)ndλ(}{}^3\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{)}$ manifolds exhibit strong channel mixing, while the mixing of the $\text{(1σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>g</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^2\text{(1σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>u</mtext>}}\text{)nsσ}{}^3\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ with the $\text{nd(}{}^3\text{λ}\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$ channel structure is relatively minor. Models based on multichannel quantum defect theory are used to aid in the spectral assignments and to correlate the observed level structures. We show that three-limit and two-limit models adequately represent the bulk of the observed $\text{ndλ(}{}^3\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}$ and $\text{ndλ(}{}^3\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{,}{}^3\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{)}$ channel structures, respectively.     

Magnetization,magnetocrystalline anisotropy,magnetostriction and elastic constants of the Heusler alloy: Cu2Mn Al

Three kg of stoichiometric single crystals of Cu₂Mn Al have been grown by the Bridgman method. The thermal variations of their magnetization, anisotropy, magnetostriction and elastic constants have been measured between 4.2 and 300 K. This alloy exhibits a small magnetocrystalline anisotropy, but a large elastic anisotropy $\text{(}\text{C}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{C}{}^{\mathrm{\gamma }}\text{= 4.9)}$ which explains the strong anisotropy of the magnetostriction $\text{(}\text{λ}{}^{\mathrm{\gamma ,2}}\text{λ}{}^{\mathrm{?,2}}\text{= 10)}$. The magnetic moment per Mn atom at 0 K is 3.6 μ_B.     

The emission spectra of H35Cl+, H37Cl+, D35Cl+, and D37Cl+ in the region 2700–4100 Å

The $\text{A}{}^2\text{Σ}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{-X}{}^2\text{Π}$ emission spectrum of HCl⁺ has been measured and analyzed for four isotopic combinations. These analyses extend previous work and provide rotational constants for the v = 0–2 levels of the ground state and for the v = 0–9 levels of the excited state. RKR potentials have been determined for both states, although the upper state could not be fitted precisely to such a model. Calculated relative intensities based on these potentials demonstrated that the electronic transition moment must change rapidly with lower state vibrational quantum number. Although considerable caution should be exercised in applying the concept of equilibrium constants to the $\text{A}{}^2\text{Σ}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state, the following are the best estimates of these constants (in cm^?1) for the $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}$ state of H³⁵Cl⁺: B_e = 9.9406, ω_e = 2673.7, A_e = ? 643.7, and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.315}\text{A}\text{?}$. For the $\text{A}{}^2\text{Σ}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state of H³⁵Cl: T_e = 28 628.08, B_e ～ 7.505, ω_e ～ 1606.5, and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.514}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Analysis of the 2770-Å emission system in I2

A weak emission spectrum of I₂ near 2770 Å is reanalyzed and found to to minate on the A(1u³Π) state. The assigned bands span v″ levels 5–19 and v′ levels 0–8. The new assignment is corroborated by isotope shifts, band profile simulations, and Franck-Condon calculations. The excited state is an ion-pair state, probably the 1g state which tends toward $\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S) +}\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_1\text{)}$. In combination with other results for the A state, the analysis yields the following spectroscopic constants: T″_e = 10 907 cm^?1, $\text{D}$″_e = 1640 cm^?1, ω″_e = 95 cm^?1, $\text{R″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.06}\text{A}\text{?}$; T′_e = 47 559.1 cm^?1, ω′_e = 106.60 cm^?1, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Strengths and lorentz broadening coefficients for spectral lines in the ν3 and ν2 + ν4 bands of 12CH4 and 13CH4

Line strengths and self- and nitrogen-broadened half-widths were measured for spectral lines in the ν₃ and ν₂ + ν₄ bands of ¹²CH₄ and ¹³CH₄ from 2870–2883 cm^?1 using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. From measurements made over a temperature range from 215 to 297 K, on samples of ¹²CH₄ broadened with N₂, we deduced that the average temperature coefficients n, defined as $\text{b}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}{}^0\text{(T) = b}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}{}^0\text{(T}{}_0\text{)(}\text{T}\text{T}{}_0\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?n}}$, of the Lorentz broadening coefficients for the ν₃ and ν₂ + ν₄ bands of ¹²CH₄ were 0.97 ± 0.03 and 0.89 ± 0.04, respectively. A smaller increase is observed in line half-width with increasing pressure for E-species lines, for both self- and nitrogen-broadening, than for other symmetry species lines over the range of pressures measured, 70 to 100 Torr.     

Polarization spectroscopy of the E0g+-B0u+ band system of Br2

The E-B (0_g⁺-0_u⁺) band system of Br₂ has been investigated at Doppler-limited resolution using polarization labeling spectroscopy. Merged E state data for the three naturally occurring isotopes in the range v_E = 0–16, expressed in terms of the constants for ⁷⁹Br₂, are (in cm^?1) Y_0,0 = 49 777.962(54), Y_1,0 = 150.834(22), Y_2,0 = ?0.4182(28), Y_3,0 = 6.6(11) × 10^?4, Y_0,1 = 4.1876(28) × 10^?2, Y_1,1 = ?1.607(16) × 10^?4, and Y_0,2 = 1.39(39) × 10^?8. The bond distance is $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{= 3.194}\text{A}\text{?}$, and the diabatic dissociation energy to $\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_2\text{) +}\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S}{}_0\text{)}\text{is 34 700 cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$.     

The infrared part of the C2 Phillips system (2.3–0.9 μm)

Line positions and molecular constants for the 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 0-1, 2-1, 3-1, 0-2, 1-2, and 4-2 bands of the C₂ Phillips system ($\text{A}{}^1\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}\text{-X}{}^1\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$) are reported. Among them, five bands have not been reported previously. Rotational perturbations have been observed in the previously unobserved v = 1 level of the $\text{A}{}^1\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}$ state. This state is perturbed by the $\text{c}{}^3\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state which was discovered by Ballik and Ramsay. These observations provide new information regarding the perturbing state. In particular, the minimum of the potential energy for the $\text{c}{}^3\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state has been found to be at 9227.4 cm^?1 instead of 13 310 cm^?1, which was the previous T_e value for this electronic state.     

Measurement and interpretation of the 1-0 band of 14N16O at 1900 cm−1

The wavenumbers of the vibration rotation band lines of ¹⁴N¹⁶O are reported for the ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{-}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$, ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{-}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{-}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ subbands of the 1-0 transition in the infrared. The full set of spectroscopic constants for this band has been determined by direct approach using the analysis of Zare, Schmeltekopf, Harrop, and Albritton. In addition to the band origin ν₀ and the B, D, H constants for the lower and upper vibrational levels, the following spin-orbit coupling constants have been derived: $\text{A}\text{?}{}_0\text{= 123.02772 ± 0.00011}$ and $\text{A}\text{?}{}_1\text{= 122.78248 ± 0.00011}$ (in cm^?1). Apparent centrifugal corrections to these constants have been determined and the values obtained for them are $\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>D</mtext><mtext>0</mtext>}}\text{= (0.347573 ± 0.00051) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$ and $\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>D</mtext><mtext>1</mtext>}}\text{= (0.337135 ± 0.00050) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$. Λ-Type doubling constants evaluated by using both grating and tunable laser data are also reported.     

Angular distributions for the 12C(K−,π−)12ΛC reaction

The distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) is used to calculate angular distributions for ${}^{12}\text{C}\text{(}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{,π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{)}{}^{12}{}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}\text{C}{}^1$ at 800 MeV/c. The results are compared with recent Brookhaven data.     

Ni2+ emission in MgO,KMgF3, KZnF3 and MgF2

The emission of Ni²⁺ ions in MgO, KMgF₃, KZnF₃ and MgF₂ crystals has been investigated. The fine structure on the bands at about 20 000 cm^-1 and 13 000 cm^-1 has been studied in detail and from this and the excitation spectra these bands are assigned to ${}^1\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{2g}}\text{→}{}^3\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{2g}}$ and ${}^1\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{2g}}\text{→}{}^3\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{2g}}$ transitions respectively.     

Measurement of the isospin amplitude ∣M012∣ in the reaction γn → ϱ0(pπ−) at 7.5 GeV

The cross-channel isospin amplitude $\text{∣M}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{∣}$ is measured in the single reaction γn → ?⁰(pπ^?) at 7.5 GeV assuming the ?⁰ dominance model. A low-mass enhancement is found for $\text{∣M}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{∣}{}^2$ in the range of m(pπ^?) of ～1.2 to ～1.7 GeV. The reaction strongly violates s-channel helicity conservation but is consistent with t-channel helicity conservation. The $\text{∣M}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{∣}$ features are found to be very similar to those obtained in previous analyses of πp → π(Nπ) reactions.     

Chemical diffusion in nonstoichiometric chromium sulfide,Cr2+yS3

Using the re-equilibration kinetic method the chemical diffusion coefficient in nonstoichiometric chromium sesquisulfide, Cr_2+yS₃, has been determined as a function of temperature (1073–1373 K) and sulphur vapour pressure (10?10⁴ Pa). It has been found that this coefficient is independent of sulphur pressure and can be described by the following empirical equation: $\text{D}\text{?}\text{Cr}{}_{\mathrm{2+y}}\text{S}{}_3\text{=50.86}\text{exp(-39070 cal/mole/}\text{RT)}\text{(cm}{}^2\text{s}{}^{\mathrm{?1)}}$. It has been shown that the mobility of the point defects inCr_2+yS₃ is independent of their concentration and that the self-diffusion coefficient of chromium in this sulfide has the following function of temperature and sulphur pressure: . (cm²s^?1).
