Magnetooptical effects in bismuth-containing ferrite-garnet films

We present results of magnetooptical investigations of bismuth-containing ferrite-garnet films with the easy axis of magnetization parallel to the specimen surface. Measurements were conducted for incident light with energies in the range 1.5–3.2 eV for transverse [equatorial Kerr effect (EKE)] and for longitudinal [meridional intensity effect (MIE)] magnetizations of thin-layer specimens. It is shown that the EKE differs from zero when the films are opaque, and it is established that the EKE peak in the region 2.8 eV increases with increasing bismuth concentration. For longitudinal magnetization, conditions for observing magnetooptical interference were realized. The experimental curves agree well with the theoretical ones.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 10–14, November, 1989.     

Mechanism of breakdown development in a gas in a subthreshold HF field

The development of a breakdown wave in subthreshold HF fields is considered for the condition that the field energy density exceed the plasma energy density E²/4 > nT. It is shown that the breakdown wave propagation mechanism is controlled by HF diffusion with a coefficient _iE²/4en. A model of breakdown development along the direction of the linear field polarization is constructed on the basis of this mechanism.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 55–60, August, 1989.     

Possible mechanism of metal ion extraction from aqueous solutions by fibrous polypropylene

Peculiarities of the extraction of metal ions from aqueous solutions by fibrous polypropylene have been investigated. It has been found that metal ion adsorption proceeds owing to the existence of a gas-liquid-hydrophobic polymer boundary line. The process mechanism has been discussed.     

Analysis of products of the industrial synthesis of ethylene oxide by two-dimensional gas chromatography using packed capillary columns

Procedures for separating products of the synthesis of ethylene oxide by two-column gas chromatography using both conventional capillary PLOT columns and packed capillary columns of a new type bearing microparticulated adsorbents are proposed. A combination of packed capillary columns with a microthermostat reduces both separation time and the size of the chromatographic system, which becomes compatible with microreactors. The short time of analysis enables the control over the work of a series of microreactors in a cyclic mode using one chromatographic system.     

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The influence of the number of 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane links (/) in the cyclotetrasiloxanes _mD_4-m, where D represents the dimethylsiloxane link and m=0–4, on the rearrangement of these compounds in acetone solution under the action of sodium siloxanolate has been studied. The rearrangement takes place with the formation of a linear polysiloxane the degradation of which yields, in addition to the initial ring, cyclosiloxanes with a different structure. The rate of rearrangement of _mD_4-m and of the formation of a linear polysiloxane rises with an increase in m from 0 to 3. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from _mD_4-m is inversely proportional to m. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes _mD_n, where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3–6, in the rearrangement of the rings D₃, ₂D₂, ₃D, and ₄. The reactivity of the siloxane links rises in the sequence (CH₃)₂Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ < (CF₃CH₂CH₂)-(CH₃) Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ <(CF₃CH₂CH₂) (CH₃)Si-O-Si(CH₃) (CH₂CH₂CF₃) . Because of the negative inductive effect transferred through the siloxane links, the 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl groups strongly activate the siloxane ring with respect to nucleophiiic reagents.For part I, see [3].     

Copper precipitation from sulfate solutions with calcium carbonates

Mechanism of interaction of copper sulfate with natural calcium carbonates, responsible for low residual copper concentrations in solutions and for the behavior of open and closed systems in storage is considered.     

Effect of hydrothermal treatment on catalytic properties of superhigh-silica zeolites

The effect of hydrothermal treatment of decationized superhigh-silica zeolite on the mechanism of n-hexane conversion has been studied. It has been established that thermosteam modification sharply decreases the cracking activity and increases the selectivity to aromatization reactions. Zeolite acidity markedly decreases, but its crystal structure does not become amorphous.
