On the evaluation of the characteristic polynomial via symmetric function theory

The use of power sum symmetric functions leads to Newton's identities, which relate the traces of various powers ofA, the adjacency matrix of a graph, and the coefficients of the characteristic polynomials. While it is possible to solve Newton's identities and generate the coefficients by recursion or, alternatively, to derive them by sequential manipulations (yielding the explicit formulas), we show how the results can be expressed using a combinatorial approach and relate the evaluation of the coefficients to selected Young diagrams.     

Critical behaviour of the compressible magnet with exchange anisotropy

Then-component magnet with exchange anisotropy on a compressible lattice, with isotropic elastic properties, is studied. The renormalization group method is applied ind =4 — dimensions. The fixed points and the stability regions are explored to the order ², and the analysis is concentrated upon the casen<4—2 +O( ²). Investigation of the fixed points reveals various crossover phenomena which are not present in the corresponding rigid model. Renormalization of the anisotropy crossover exponent is demonstrated. It is shown that macroscopic instabilities, leading to the first order phase transition, may appear.     

Raman scattering in SnSe

Zone center optical phonons in SnSe were investigated using Raman scattering data obtained here and previously reported far infrared reflectivity measurements. The values of the ratio of the pairs of interlayer force constants were calculated te be between 3·3 and 4·5. Thus it can be concluded that SnS is a layer like semiconductor but less layer like than GeS, GeSe or SnS.     

Intermolecular potential energy surface and spectra of He-HCl with generalization to other rare gas-hydrogen halide complexes

A two-dimensional (rigid monomer) intermolecular potential energy surface (PES) of the He-HCl complex has been obtained from ab initio calculations utilizing the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) and an spdfg basis set including midbond functions. The bond length in HCl was chosen to be equal to the expectation value in the ground vibrational state of isolated HCl. The rigid-monomer potential should be a very good approximation to the complete (three-dimensional) potential for H-Cl distances corresponding to the lowest vibrational levels of the monomer since the He-HCl interaction energy was found to be only weakly dependent on the HCl bond length in this region, at least as compared to systems such as Ar-HF. The calculated points were fitted using an analytic function with ab initio computed asymptotic coefficients. As expected, the complex is loosely bound, with the dispersion energy providing the majority of the attraction. Our SAPT PES agrees with the semiempirical PES of Willey et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 96, 898 (1992)], in finding that, atypically for rare gas-hydrogen halide complexes including the lighter halide atoms, the global minimum is on the Cl side (with intermonomer separation 3.35 A and depth of 32.8 cm(-1)), rather than on the H side, where there is only a local minimum (3.85 A, 30.8 cm(-1)). The ordering of the minima was confirmed by single-point calculations in larger basis sets and complete basis set extrapolations, and also using higher levels of theory. We show that the opposite findings in the recent calculations of Zhang and Shi [J. Mol. Struct: THEOCHEM 589, 89 (2002)] are due to the lack of midbond functions in their basis set. Despite the closeness in depth of the two linear minima, the existence of a relatively high barrier between them invalidates the assumption of isotropy, a feature of some literature potentials. The trends concerning the locations of minima within the family of rare gas-hydrogen halide complexes are rationalized in terms of the physical components of the intermolecular forces and related to monomer properties. The accuracy of the SAPT PES was tested by performing calculations of rovibrational levels. The transition frequencies obtained were found to be in excellent agreement (to within 0.02 cm(-1)) with the measurements of Lovejoy and Nesbitt [J. Chem. Phys. 93, 5387 (1990)]. The SAPT PES predicts a dissociation energy for the complex of 7.74 cm(-1) which is probably more accurate than the experimental value of 10.1+/-1.2 cm(-1). Our analysis of the ground-state rovibrational wave function shows that the He-HCl configuration is favored over the He-ClH configuration despite the ordering of minima. This is due to the greater volume of the well in the former case. We have also determined positions and widths of three low-lying resonance states through scattering calculations. These predictions are expected to be more accurate than values derived from experiment.     

Strukturviskosität von verdünnten Lösungen von Biopolymeren

The importance of the rheological behaviour of solutions of macromolecules is briefly evaluated. The viscosity of the solutions depends on concentration, shear rate and time of shear, this relation being determined by the structure of the dissolved molecules. In dilute solutions shear dependence of viscosity is very frequently caused by the preferential orientation of anisotropic molecules. In such a case the particle dimensions can be calculated from the true limiting viscosity number, an anisotropy factor, the rotational diffusion constant and the effective particle density. These numbers can be derived from the flow curve, which has been extrapolated to zero concentration. It is necessary to measure the flow curve at shear gradients, which are sufficiently low to allow for an extrapolation to vanishing shear rate. By comparing the experimental flow curve with a choice of theoretical ones, the rotational diffusion constant and the anisotropy factor (axial ratio) can be found. From the limiting viscosity number and the axial ratio, the particle density can be calculated.     

Analytische Aspekte der Oxydation organischer Stickstoffverbindungen mit Chromsäure. II

Zusammenfassung Eine Halbmikromethode zur Bestimmung der an Kohlenstoff oder Sauerstoff gebundenen Nitro- und Nitrosogruppen in organischen Verbindungen wurde ausgearbeitet. Die Methode beruht auf dem oxydativen Aufschluß der Substanz mit einem Chromsäure—Schwefelsäure-Gemisch, wobei die Nitro- und Nitrosogruppen quantitativ in Salpetersäure übergehen. Diese wird mit Devarda-Legierung in alkalischem Medium zu Ammoniak reduziert, das dann im Stickstoffstrom abdestilliert und acidimetrisch titriert wird.

Summary A semimicro method for determining nitro- and nitroso groups attached to carbon or oxygen in organic compounds has been worked out. The method is based on the oxidative decomposition of the sample with a chromic acid-sulfuric acid mixture, the nitro and the nitroso groups being quantitatively transformed into nitric acid. The latter is reduced to ammonia by means of Devarda alloy in alkaline medium, and is then distilled off in a stream of nitrogen and titrated with a standard acid solution.

Résumé On a mis au point une méthode à l'échelle semimicro pour le dosage dans les substances organiques de groupes nitro et nitroso liés au carbone ou à l'oxygène. La méthode repose sur l'attaque oxydante de la substance par un mélange acide chromique-acide sulfurique, ce qui transforme quantitativement les groupes nitro et nitroso en acide nitrique. Au moyen de l'alliage de Devarda en milieu alcalin, on réduit celui-ci en ammoniac que l'on chasse par distillation dans un courant d'azote et que l'on titre par acidimétrie.

     

Sorption of trace concentrations of gallium(III) and iodide ions on tin(II) hydroxide

Summary The results of sorption measurements for gallium (III) and iodide ion traces onto tin(II) hydroxide from aqueous heterogeneous systems are given. Since only tagged sorbate was used (⁶⁷Ga and 1311), in the determination of sorption by radioactive tracer method, it was necessary to establish the pH interval of tin(II) hydroxide in/stability. This was done by a turbidimetric method and the pH region of instability between 3 and 9 was found.The sorption results indicate a difference in sorption ability of gallium(III) and iodide as it appears from the dependence of the amount sorbed on contact time between heterogeneous reactants (sorbentsorbate). The amounts sorbed increase with increasing contact times at higher pH values for Ga(III) but remain unaffected for iodide sorption. Thus the sorption of iodide ions seems to be restricted to the solid surface while the sorption results for gallium(III) indicate the diffusion of sorbate into sorbent as a possible parallel mechanism. Those processes could be taken as compatible with the porous-double-layer mechanism which has been proposed in literature for aqueous heterogeneous oxide systems.

Zusammenfassung In der Arbeit werden Ergebnisse von Sorptionsmessungen für Ga³⁺- und j-Spuren an Zinn(II)-Hydroxid aus wäßrigen heterogenen Systemen berichtet. Zur analytischen Erfassung wurden radioaktives⁶⁷Ga und 131 J verwendet. Die Stabilität von Zinn(II)-Hydroxid wurde durch Trübungsmessungen untersucht. Im pH-Bereich von 3–9 ist das Zinn(II)-Hydroxid als kolloide Suspension instabil.Ga³⁺ und J^– verhalten sich bei der Adsorption unterschiedlich. Die adsorbierte Menge steigt mit zunehmender Kontaktzeit bei hohen pH-Werten von Gallium, bleibt jedoch für Jod unverändert. Die Unterschiede werden gedeutet durch die Annahme, daß Jod nur an der festen Oberfläche adsorbiert wird, während die Galliumionen auch in das Sorbens diffundieren können. Man könnte die Ergebnisse als verträglich mit einem porösen Doppelschichtmechanismus ansehen; ein solcher Mechanismus ist in der Literatur für wäßrige heterogene Oxidsysteme vorgeschlagen worden.
