Synthesis and electrical properties of substituted paracyclophane polymers

We report the synthesis of three new substituted [6.2]paracyclophane-1,5-dienes and their conversion to medium molecular weight polymers by an intra/intermolecular cyclopolymerization. These materials can be oxidatively “doped” by exposure to iodine vapor to give semiconductor properties.     

Unoccupied electronic states in graphite oxides

Unoccupied electronic states of graphite oxides with different oxidation times have been investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in total electron yield (TEY) and total fluorescence yield (TFY) modes. The graphite oxides exhibit graphite-like sp² states with additional electronic states originating from functional groups. The intensity of the π^* state decreases as the atomic ratio O:C increases. The intensity ratio of carboxyl to π^* states in XAS TEY mode corresponds to the area ratio of carboxyl to sp² carbon in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition, the two modes in XAS can identify electronic states of functional groups originating from surface or bulk regions.     

Correlation between the O 2p Orbital and Redox Reaction in LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 Nanowires Studied by Soft X‐ray Absorption

The changes in the electronic structure of LiMn_0.6Fe_0.4PO₄ nanowires during discharge processes were investigated by using ex situ soft X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. The Fe L ‐edge X‐ray absorption spectrum attributes the potential plateau at 3.45 V versus Li/Li⁺ of the discharge curve to a reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. The Mn L ‐edge X‐ray absorption spectra exhibit the Mn²⁺ multiplet structure throughout the discharge process, and the crystal‐field splitting was slightly enhanced upon full discharge. The configuration‐interaction full‐multiplet calculation for the X‐ray absorption spectra reveals that the charge‐transfer effect from O 2p to Mn 3d orbitals should be considerably small, unlike that from the O 2p to Fe 3d orbitals. Instead, the O K‐edge X‐ray absorption spectrum shows a clear spectral change during the discharge process, suggesting that the hybridization of O 2p orbitals with Fe 3d orbitals contributes essentially to the reduction.     

Characterization of SiO2 layers thermally grown on 4H-SiC using high energy photoelectron spectroscopy

Si 2p and C 1s core level spectra recorded at different electron emission angles from SiO₂/SiC samples using a photon energy of 3.0 keV show two components. These are identified as originating from SiO₂ and SiC for Si 2p while for C 1s they are identified to originate from graphite like carbon and SiC. The relative intensity of these components are extracted and compared to calculated intensity variations assuming different models for the elemental distribution in the surface region. For both samples investigated best agreement between experimental and calculated intensity variations with emission angle is obtained when assuming a graphite like layer on top of the oxide layer. Contribution from carbon at the SiC/SiO₂ interface could not be identified.

Magnetic field dependence in electron–deuteron recombination at very low relative energy

The rate coefficient for recombination of D⁺ with low energy electrons has been measured at different magnetic fields in the interaction region of the electron cooler at CRYRING. It is found that the measured recombination rate coefficient is influenced by the magnetic field. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
