Messung der Wirkungsquerschnitte für die Linienverbreiterung von Hochfrequenzübergängen im 63 P 2-Zustand des Quecksilbers durch Stöße mit Edelgasatomen

The linewidth of high frequency transitions between Zeeman-levels of the metastable 6³ P ₂-state of mercury is measured as function of the pressure of various noble gases. The measurements are made for all noble gases in the pressure range from 10^?3 to about 2 · 10^?2 Torr. The cross sections for linebroadening due to atomic collisions are derived from the pressure dependence of the linewidth. These cross sections σ were found to be (71 ± 10) · 10^?16 cm² for He, (82 ± 10) · 10^?16 cm² for Ne, (153± 12) × 10^?16 cm² for Ar, (204±28) · 10¹⁶ cm² for Kr and (291 ± 41) · 10^?16 cm² for Xe.     

<Superscript>210</Superscript>Pb and <Superscript>210</Superscript>Po levels in sediments,water, and bioindicators in the Cananeia-Iguape estuary-Sao Paulo-Brazil

The purpose of this work was to determine levels of ²¹⁰Pb and ²¹⁰Po in seawater, sediment cores, fish and seafood as well as to estimate the concentration factors and the bioindicators for ²¹⁰Pb and ²¹⁰Po in marine organisms collected in the estuary. ²¹⁰Pb levels in seawater varied from 2.1 to 6.2 mBq.L^?1 and for ²¹⁰Po ranged from 1.6 to 4.1 mBq.L^?1. ²¹⁰Pb concentration factors in fish varied from 0.5×10² to 0.8×10³, in crustaceans from 0.5×10³ to 0.2×10⁴ and in shellfish from 0.2×10⁴ to 0.3×10⁴. ²¹⁰Po concentration factors in fish varied from 0.9×10² to 0.5×10⁴, in crustaceans from 0.5×10⁴ to 0.2×10⁵ and in shellfish from 0.3×10⁵ to 0.9×10⁵. The results obtained to the concentration factors indicated that shellfish and crustaceans are good bioindicators for the radionuclides studies. Some species of fish also accumulated significantly quantities of these radionuclides.     

Comparative Study on Three Different Systems of Chemiluminescence Flow‐Injection Determination of Leucogen

Abstract

The effects of three systems on the chemiluminescence (CL) intensity have been studied in this paper, such as leucogen–potassium permanganate–rhodamine B, leucogen–cerium (IV)–rhodamine B, and leucogen–luminol–hydrogen peroxide (called system 1, system 2, and system 3, respectively). The mechanism of these reactions is also discussed. Surfactant (CTMAB) has a remarkably sensitive effect on these systems mentioned above. Therefore, three new flow injection chemiluminescence methods for the determination of leucogen have been established. For system 1, the linear range is 8.0×10^?8 to 4.0×10^?5 g mL^?1, with limits of detection 2×10^?8 g mL^?1; the relative standard deviation is 2.5% (n=11, Cs=4.0×10^?6 g mL^?1). For system 2, the linear range is 1.0×10^?8 to 5.0×10^?6 g mL^?1, with limits of detection 3×10^?9 g mL^?1; the relative standard deviation is 5.1% (n=11, Cs=1.0×10^?6 g mL^?1). For system 3, the linear range is 4.0×10^?8 to 2.0×10^?6 g mL^?1, with limits of detection 1×10^?8 g mL^?1; the relative standard deviation is 1.3% (n=11, Cs=1.0×10^?7 g mL^?1). Compared with the three methods above, system 3 is confirmed as the best method. This method has been applied to the determination of leucogen with satisfactory results.

Minimum metallic conductivity in a thin crystal

Electrical conductivities of thin crystals of Bi₂(Te,S)₃ measured from 4.2°K to 300°K fall into four regions: 1) σ < 1.3×10^?5 S with positive temperature coefficient of conductivity; 2) 1.3×10^?5 S < σ < 1.4×10^?5 S with temperature independent conductivity; 3) 1.4×10^?5 S σ < 4×10^?5 S with negative temperature coefficient of conductivity, and 4) σ > 4×10^?5 S with hardly any temperature dependence.

Lithium diffusion in Li<Subscript>3</Subscript>V<Subscript>2</Subscript>(PO<Subscript>4</Subscript>)<Subscript>3</Subscript>-based electrodes: a joint analysis of electrochemical impedance,cyclic voltammetry,pulse chronoamperometry,and chronopotentiometry data

In order to establish the mechanism and to determine the parameters of lithium transport in electrodes based on lithium-vanadium phosphate (Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃), the kinetic model was designed and experimentally tested for joint analysis of electrochemical impedance (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), pulse chronoamperometry (PITT), and chronopotentiometry (GITT) data. It comprises the stages of sequential lithium-ion transfer in the surface layer and the bulk of electrode material’s particles, including accumulation of lithium in the bulk. Transfer processes at both sites are of diffusion nature and differ significantly, both by temporal (characteristic time, τ) and kinetic (diffusion coefficient, D) constants. PITT data analysis provided the following D values for the predominantly lithiated and delithiated forms of the intercalation material: 10^?9 and 3 × 10^?10 cm² s^?1, respectively, for transfer in the bulk and 10^?12 cm² s^?1 for transfer in the thin surface layer of material’s particles. D values extracted from GITT data are in consistency with those obtained from PITT: 3.5–5.8 × 10^?10 and 0.9–5 × 10^?10 cm² s^?1 (for the current and currentless mode, respectively). The D values obtained from EIS data were 5.5 × 10^?10 cm² s^?1 for lithiated (at a potential of 3.5 V) and 2.3 × 10^?9 cm² s^?1 for delithiated (at a potential 4.1 V) forms. CV evaluation gave close results: 3 × 10^?11 cm² s^?1 for anodic and 3.4 × 10^?11 cm² s^?1 for cathodic processes, respectively. The use of complex experimental measurement procedure for combined application of the EIS, PITT, and GITT methods allowed to obtain thermodynamic E,c dependence of Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ electrode, which is not affected by polarization and heterogeneity of lithium concentration in the intercalate.

Enhancement in electrochemical properties of ionic liquid-based nanocomposite polymer electrolytes by 100 MeV Si9+ swift heavy ion irradiation

Swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation has been used as a tool to enhance the electrochemical properties of ionic liquid-based nanocomposite polymer electrolytes dispersed with dedoped polyaniline (PAni) nanorods; 100 MeV Si⁹⁺ ions with four different fluences of 5?×?10¹⁰, 1?×?10¹¹, 5?×?10¹¹, and 1?×?10¹² ions cm^?2 have been used as SHI. XRD results depict that with increasing ion fluence, crystallinity decreases due to chain scission up to fluence of 5?×?10¹¹ ions cm^?2, and at higher fluence, crystallinity increases due to cross-linking of polymer chains. Ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, and dielectric properties are enhanced with increasing ion fluence attaining maximum value at the fluence of 5?×?10¹¹ ions cm^?2 and subsequently decrease. Optimum ionic conductivity of 1.5?×?10^?2 S cm^?1 and electrochemical stability up to 6.3 V have been obtained at the fluence of 5?×?10¹¹ ions cm^?2. Ac conductivity studies show that ion conduction takes place through hopping of ions from one coordination site to the other. On SHI irradiation, amorphicity of the polymer matrix increases resulting in increased segmental motion which facilitates ion hopping leading to an increase in ionic conductivity. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements show that SHI-irradiated nanocomposite polymer electrolytes are thermally stable up to 240–260 °C.     

Investigation of irradiated and annealed high-temperature superconducting films with the Umka nanotechnological complex

Superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O_{7 ? x} films were fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering. They were irradiated with 1.2-MeV He⁺ ions to doses of 4 × 10¹⁵, 8 × 10¹⁵, 16 × 10¹⁵, and 32 × 10¹⁵ cm^?2. The irradiated films were subjected to stepwise (30 min per step) vacuum annealing at 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900°C. After vacuum annealing, the samples irradiated to doses of 4 × 10¹⁵, 8 × 10¹⁵, and 16 × 10¹⁵ cm^?2 exhibited partial recovery of their critical temperature, whereas the sample with a dose of 32 × 10¹⁵ cm^?2 exhibited no signs of partial recovery of T _C. Investigation of the irradiated annealed samples with the Umka nanotechnological complex has revealed damaged surface regions extended to a relatively large (several tenths of a micrometer) depth.     

Carbonization in boron-ion-implanted polymethylmethacrylate as revealed from Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements

ABSTRACT

The results of Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements of 40 keV boron-ion-implanted polymethylmethacrylate with ion doses from 6.25 × 10¹⁴ to 5.0 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm² are reported for the first time. The Raman spectra recorded in the 400–3800 cm^?1 range, showing the formation of new carbon–carbon bands for the as-implanted samples at higher ion doses (>10¹⁶ ions/cm²), are found to be an additional support for carbonization processes earlier revealed by slow positrons. The current–voltage dependences at 360 K testify also that the as-implanted samples examined with higher fluences (3.75 × 10¹⁶ and 5.0 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm²) have created a very thin conductive layer or conductive joints due to carbonization.     

A calix[4]arene derivative-doped perchlorate-selective membrane electrodes with/without multi-walled carbon nanotubes

In this study, poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) membrane electrodes with/without multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based on a calix[4]arene derivative for perchlorate ion were described. The influence of membrane composition, pH, conditioning solution on the potentiometric response of the electrodes was investigated. Perchlorate-selective PVC membrane electrode exhibited a slope of 47.8 ± 0.6 mV/pClO₄ in the range of 1.0 × 10^?7–1.0 × 10^?1 mol L^?1at pH 4.0 while the coated Pt electrodes with MWCNT-OH, MWCNT-COOH and MWCNT displayed slopes of 46.1 ± 0.7 mV/pClO₄ (5.0 × 10^?6–1.0 × 10^?1 mol L^?1), 50.4 ± 1.9 mV/pClO₄ (1.0 × 10^?6–1.0 × 10^?1 mol L^?1) and 44.4 ± 0.3 mV/pClO₄ (1.0 × 10^?5–1.0 × 10^?1 mol L^?1), respectively. Other response characteristics of these electrodes such as response time, lifetime and detection limit were identified, and the selectivity coefficients towards various anions were calculated by separate solution method. Moreover, the perchlorate-selective electrodes described here were successfully used as an indicator electrode for the determination of perchlorate in real samples such as tap water, river water and human urine by direct calibration method.     

Measurement of the absolute Raman scattering cross sections of sulfur and the standoff Raman detection of a 6‐mm‐thick sulfur specimen at 1500 m

The absolute Raman scattering cross sections (σ_RS) for the 471, 217, and 153 cm⁻¹ modes of sulfur were measured as 6.0 ± 1.2 × 10⁻²⁷, 7.7 ± 1.6 × 10⁻²⁷, and 1.2 ± 0.24 × 10⁻²⁶ cm² at 815, 799, and 794 nm, respectively, using a 785‐nm pump laser. The corresponding values of σ_RS at 1120, 1089, and 1081 nm were determined to be 1.5 ± 0.3 × 10⁻²⁷, 1.2 ± 0.24 × 10⁻²⁷, and 1.2 ± 0.24 × 10⁻²⁷ cm² using a 1064‐nm laser. A temperature‐controlled, small‐cavity (2.125 mm diameter) blackbody source was used to calibrate the signal output of the Raman spectrometers for these measurements. Standoff Raman detection of a 6‐mm‐thick sulfur specimen located at 1500 m from the pump laser and the Raman spectrometer was made using a 1.4‐W, CW, 785‐nm pump laser.

A highly luminescent complexes of Eu(III) and Tb(III) with norfloxacin and gatifloxacin doped in sol–gel matrix: A comparable approach of using silica doped Tb(III) and Eu(III) as optical sensor

Highly luminescent complexes of Eu and Tb ions with norfloxacin (NFLX) and gatifloxacin (GFLX) were prepared in sol–gel matrix. The red and green emissions of Eu and Tb ions were obtained by the energy transfer from the triplet state of (NFLX) and (GFLX) to the excited emitting states (⁵D₀ and ⁵D₄) of Eu and Tb, respectively. The intensity of the electric field emission bands (⁵D₀→⁷F₂, 617 nm and ⁵D₄→⁷F₅, 545 nm) of Eu and Tb ions were proportional to the concentration of (NFLX at pH 6.0) and (GFLX at pH 3.5) in acetonitrile with excitation wavelengths (λ_ex) (340 and 395) and (370 and 350 nm) for Eu and Tb ions, respectively. The monitored luminescence intensity of the system showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of NFLX within a range of 5×10^?9–5.8×10^?6 and 5×10^?8–1.0×10^?6 mol L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.990, and for GFLX within a range of 2.4×10^?9–3.2×10^?5 and 5×10^?8–8.0×10^?6 mol L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.995. The detection limit (LOD) was determined as 3.0×10^?9 and 1.0×10^?8 mol L^?1 for NFLX and 1.6×10^?10 and 2.0×10^?8mol L^?1 for GFLX. The limit of quantification (LOQ) is 9×10^?9 and 3.0×10^?8 and 4.8×10^?10 and 6.0×10^?8 in case of Eu and Tb, respectively.     

A new isotope andα-lines in the Th-Np region and their production cross-sections

In the fusion reactions of^20,22Ne with²⁰⁵Tl,²⁰⁸Pb, and²⁰⁹Bi the absolute production cross-sections of the²²⁷Np,^222–224Pa,^222–224Th, and²²¹Ac isotopes were measured and the products of the xn evaporation channels and theirα-decay properties were investigated. The identified isotope is²²⁷Np (7680±10 keV). A newα-line structure of²²⁴Pa was established (7460±10 keV (25±3 %) and 7555±10 keV (75±3 %)). Fourα-lines of²²³Th were identified (7290±10 keV (41±5 %), 7320±10 keV (29±5 %), 7350 ± 15 keV (20±5 %), and 7390±15 keV (10±4 %)). The half life of²¹⁷Fr was measured to be 16±2 μs and that of²²⁰Ra was found to be 17 ±2 ms.     

The GaP(001) surface and the adsorption of Cs

GaP(001) cleaned by argon-ion bombardment and annealed at 500°C showed the Ga-stabilized GaP(001)(4 × 2) structure. Only treatment in 10^?5 Torr PH₃ at 500°C gave the P-stabilized GaP(001)(1 × 2) structure. The AES peak ratio $\text{P}\text{Ga}$ is 2 for the (4 × 2) and 3.5 for the (1 × 2) structure. Cs adsorbs with a sticking probability of unity up to 5 × 10¹⁴ Cs atoms cm^?2 and a lower one at higher coverages. The photoemission measured with uv light of 3660 Å showed a maximum at the coverage of 5 × 10¹⁴ atoms cm^?2. Cs adsorbs amorphously at room temperature, but heat treatment gives ordered structures, which are thought to be reconstructed GaP(001) structures induced by Cs. The LEED patterns showed the GaP(001)(1 × 2) Cs structure formed at 180°C for 10 h with a Cs coverage of 5 × 10¹⁴ atoms cm^?2, the GaP(001)(1 × 4) Cs formed at 210°C for 10 hours with a Cs coverage of 2.7 × 10¹⁴ atoms cm^?2, the GaP(001)(7 × 1) and the high temperature GaP(001)(1 × 4), the latter two with very low Cs content. Desorption measurements show three stability regions: (a) between 25–150°C for coverages greater than 5 × 10¹⁴ atoms cm^?2, and an activation energy of 1.2 eV; (b) between 180–200°C with a coverage of 5 × 10¹⁴ atoms cm^?2, and an activation energy of 1.8 eV; (c) between 210–400°C with a coverage of 2.7 × 10¹⁴ atoms cm^?2, and an activation energy of 2.5 eV.

This paper presents a method for calculating power transmitted to the hands of operators who use vibrating hand tools. Results that relate to a comprehensive multidisciplined NIOSH field study of several hundred chipper and grinder workers who used pneumatic hand tools are presented. The results of this study indicated that the power in the frequency range of 6·3 Hz to 1000 Hz transmitted to the hand ranged from 1·08 × 10³ to 7·23 × 10³ J/s for the chisel and from 8·52 × 10^?1 to 1·57 × 10² J/s for the handle of chipping hammers. For pneumatic grinders the power transmitted to the hands of the tool operators was in the range of 6·58 × 10^?3 to 2·35 × 10^?3 J/s over the same frequency range.     

A Mössbauer study on thermal dynamics of Fe atoms in the implanted CuFe solid solution

The annealing behaviour for a supersaturated solid solution of CuFe produced by ⁵⁷Fe ions implanted into a copper film has been studied by CEMS at doses of 5×10¹⁵, 1×10¹⁶, 3×10¹⁶ and 1×10¹⁷ at/cm². During annealing the transformation of the γ- Fe phase and isolated iron atoms to the α-Fe phase was observed with a dose of 1×10¹⁶ at/cm² at about 440°C. Prior to α-Fe, a ferromagnetic phase with small field occured at h higher doses. The effects of radiation defects on hyperfine parameters and phase transformation are discussed in this paper.
