Imaging and Microanalysis in Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy

A variety of gas cascade amplification and signal detection strategies have evolved for use in low vacuum and environmental scanning electron microscopy on poorly conducting specimens. These detectors have been optimized to perform well under various limitations on the range of gas pressure and working distance which may be imposed by experimental requirements. All of the detectors must produce high gains, low backgrounds, and generate a sufficient positive ion flux to the specimen to enable charge neutralization. The underlying principles of operation of each detector type are discussed, along with the range of experimental conditions appropriate to each.     

QCD correction to the leptonic decay rate ofD-wave vector mesons

We show that the first order QCD correction to the leptonic decay rate of heavy quark-antiquark³ D ₁ bound state is identical to that for a³ S ₁ state. Some phenomenological implications of this suppression are also discussed.     

Multilinear forms and measures of dependence between random variables

Based on an idea of Rosenblatt, the methods of interpolation theory are used to establish moment inequalities and equivalence relations for measures of dependence between two or more families of random variables. A couple of “interpolation” theorems proved here appear to be new.

The nuclear magnetic resonance of heterocyclic compounds related to anthracene

The NMR spectra of a series of heterocyclic compounds analogous to anthracene have been investigated at 220 and 60 MHz. Correlations have been made with molecular geometry and parameters calculated from semi-empirical MO theory. For planar molecules, the chemical shift of the proton ortho to the heteroatom is linear with respect to the electron density on the heteroatom, but otherwise chemical shifts are independent of electron density. Planarity of the molecules is also a factor in some of the coupling constants.
