Convergence of the arithmetic-geometric mean procedure for the complex variables and the calculation of the complete elliptic integrals with complex modulus

The convergence of the arithmetic-geometric mean procedure is checked for complex variables. The procedure is shown to be useful for the evaluation of the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds with complex modulus. It is suggested that the procedure will be useful also for the numerical calculation of the elliptic integrals and the Jacobian elliptic functions with complex modulus in general.     

On the size effects in an electron hole drop

It is found theoretically that the work function in an (EHD) decreases as the number of pairs in the drop falls. This is in qualitative agreement with the experimental results.     

Spin orderings of the one-dimensional Ising magnet with the nearest and next nearest neighbor interaction

A proof is given of the fact that there exist four possible spin orderings for the one-dimensional Ising magnet with nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions.     

Thin-layer chromatographic separation of rhodium(III) and iridium(III, IV) by anion exchange

Summary The TLC behaviour of Rh(III), Ir(III) and Ir(IV) has been investigated in the two systems consisting of DEAE-cellulose or ECTEOLA-cellulose and 5 M HCl media containing H₂O₂. These systems, especially in combination with a simple chemical pretreatment of samples (with LiCl, HCl and H₂O₂), can effectively be applied to the complete separation of mixtures of Rh(III) and Ir(III) or Ir(IV) in a wide range of ratios and amounts (Rh: Ir=1100 to 1001).

Dünnschicht-chromatographische Trennung von Rhodium(III) und Iridium(III, IV) durch Anionenaustausch

Zusammenfassung Das dünnschicht-chromatographische Verhalten von Rh(III), Ir(III) und Ir(IV) wurde in H₂O₂-haltiger 5 M salzsaurer Lösung auf DEAE-sowie ECTEOLA-Cellulose untersucht. In Kombination mit einer einfachen chemischen Vorbehandlung der Probe (mit LiCl, HCl, H₂O₂) kann eine wirkungsvolle Trennung von Rh(III) und Ir(III) oder Ir(IV) über einen weiten Konzentrationsbereich erzielt werden (Rh: Ir=1100 bis 1001).

     

In vacuo photocurrent measurements of plasma polymerized styrene films

Photoconductivity measurements were carried out on plasma polymerized styrene (PPS) in vacuo, in air, and in subsequently re-evacuated conditions. Samples with two gold electrodes (Au-PPS-Au) and gold-aluminum electrodes (Au-PPS-Al) were used. Positive short circuit photocurrents in the direction of illumination were observed in both types of specimens. In the case of Au-PPS-Au, photocurrent threshold was about 1.6 eV in vacuo for the virgin film, which is attributed to the energy of hole generation in bulk. Residual free radicals were assumed to be the acceptors in this mechanism. In the case of Au-PPS-Al, electron injection from aluminum was thought to be a more likely mechanism, with an estimated barrier height of approximately 2.6 eV.
