Characterization of thin superconducting YBACuO-films by Raman-spectroscopy

We have investigated thin sputtered films of the highT _c material YBa₂Cu₃O₇ by means of Raman spectroscopy at different stages of the preparation process. We find that the films are amorphous after sputtering. The Raman spectra indicate that random polycrystalline layers, as well as crystalline layers with preferred orientation, are obtained by an additional thermal treatment.     

Characterization,by inverse gas chromatography,of the surface properties of calcium carbonate before and after treatment with stearic acid

Summary The interaction of n-alkanes with stearyl chains chemically fixed on the surface of calcite particles is investigated using inverse gas chromatography. Free enthalpy, enthalpy, entropy of adsorption and dispersive component of the surface free energy are determined. Untreated and stearic acid treated calcites have comparable affinities for the alkanes. However, the differences in adsorption entropies point to different interaction mechanisms: gas-solid adsorption for the untreated calcite and gasliquid interactions for the modified sample. Furthermore, for long chains probes, having more than 8 carbon atoms, the loss in entropy is smaller than for shorter chains. Possibly, long chains are only partially inserted in between the stearyl grafts, thus keeping a higher degree of freedom.

Heat and mass transport in the photoacoustic effect on liquids

The temperature oscillation accompanying the photoacoustic effect generates a periodic variation of the vapor pressure of a liquid. The propagation of the oscillating concentration of the vapor in the inert cell gas (air) is described by a mass diffusion wave on which a convective motion of the gas is superposed. The diffusion wave characterized by the diffusion coefficient of the cell gas alone can be measured by the Mirage effect, whereas a microphone detects the total mass flux including the convective flux, which increases with temperature. On approaching the boiling temperature, the convective flow will govern the oscillating transport of mass. The photoacoustic signal is determined directly from the flux of heat and mass at the boundary between liquid and gas using the Gauss' divergence theorem. We have found that the temperature behaviour of the amplitude and phase angle of the photoacoustic signal depends on the length of the gas column in the cell. The contribution of thermal expansion to the photoacoustic signal is considered using the composite piston model. The results of the calculations agree fairly well with the experimental data.

Charge and angular distributions and secondary fission of deep inelastic products from the reaction 197Au + 979 MeV 136Xe 1443 08

Kinetic energy spectra, charge and angular distributions are presented for over 40 elements (Z = 27?68). The kinetic energy spectra show two distinct components: a deep inelastic one and another from secondary fission of the target-like product. The charge distribution widths are comparable to those observed in Kr bombardments, the angular distributions, however, are more extensively side peaked.
