Partial Differentiability of Invariant Splittings

A key feature of a general nonlinear partially hyperbolic dynamical system is the absence of differentiability of its invariant splitting. In this paper, we show that often partial derivatives of the splitting exist and the splitting depends smoothly on the dynamical system itself.     

A comparison of the He(p, 2p)d and He(p, pd)p reactions

The ³He(p, 2p)d and ³He(p, pd)p reactions have been compared at three bombarding energies from 65 to 100 MeV. A comparison of plane wave impulse approximation calculations to the experimental data indicates that multiple scattering effects are large and energy dependent but that they primarily produce a uniform reduction in cross section. Although multiple scattering effects are large the ratio of the cross sections for the two reactions is in agreement with that predicted by the impulse approximation.     

Bands of nitrous oxide at 5.3 μm

Several bands of nitrous oxide occurring in the region of about 5.3 μm have been measured by using a high resolution vacuum infrared spectrograph. The molecular constants derived from the data have been given along with the basic data.     

The first example of palladium catalysed non-perfectly alternating copolymerisation of ethene and carbon monoxide

Non-alternating ethene-CO copolymerisation is catalysed by a new series of [P-O]Pd catalysts based on o-alkoxy derivatives of diphenylphosphinobenzene sulfonic acid.     

Stable ergodicity and julienne quasi-conformality

In this paper we dramatically expand the domain of known stably ergodic, partially hyperbolic dynamical systems. For example, all partially hyperbolic affine diffeomorphisms of compact homogeneous spaces which have the accessibility property are stably ergodic. Our main tools are the new concepts – julienne density point and julienne quasi-conformality of the stable and unstable holonomy maps. Julienne quasi-conformal holonomy maps preserve all julienne density points. Received June 14, 1999 / final version received October 25, 1999     

A Versatile Precursor System for Supercritical Fluid Electrodeposition of Main‐Group Materials

For the first time, a versatile electrolyte bath is described that can be used to electrodeposit a wide range of p‐block elements from supercritical difluoromethane (scCH₂F₂). The bath comprises the tetrabutylammonium chlorometallate complex of the element in an electrolyte of 50×10^?3 mol dm^?3 tetrabutylammonium chloride at 17.2 MPa and 358 K. Through the use of anionic ([GaCl₄]^?, [InCl₄]^?, [GeCl₃]^?, [SnCl₃]^?, [SbCl₄]^?, and [BiCl₄]^?) and dianionic ([SeCl₆]^2? and [TeCl₆]^2?) chlorometallate salts, the deposition of elemental Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Sb, Bi, Se, and Te is demonstrated. In all cases, with the exception of gallium, which is a liquid under the deposition conditions, the resulting deposits are characterised by SEM, energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. An advantage of this electrolyte system is that the reagents are all crystalline solids, reasonably easy to handle and not highly water or oxygen sensitive. The results presented herein significantly broaden the range of materials accessible by electrodeposition from supercritical fluid and open up the future possibility of utilising the full scope of these unique fluids to electrodeposit functional binary or ternary alloys and compounds of these elements.
