Resonant coherent transients in a gas in the standing-wave field

Polarization decay in the presence of a standing electromagnetic wave field at a Doppler broadened transition is investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that in the direction opposite to the propagation of an excited pulse the polarization decays at a transition frequency rather than at an exciting field frequency as usual. This permits the use of transients both in studies of relaxation processes and in Doppler-free super-high resolution spectroscopy. A resonant coherent transient has been used in measurements of relaxation decay constants of a dipole moment for collisions in SF₆ (=10.6m). This method has enabled one to resolve reliably the structure of theQ(38) transition (=10.6m) of theF ₁ ⁰ +E ₀=F ₂ ⁰ line of the 0v ₃ band in SF₆ within a Doppler absorption line.     

Study of relaxation of molecular iodine by the method of saturated absorption spectroscopy

The paper describes detailed experimental studies of the width, shape and shifts of saturated absorption resonances at the X(v=0, j=13)B(v=43, j=12) transition of molecular iodine. Use of the geometry of oppositely travelling and unidirectional waves in the experiment and study of the luminescence decay under pulsed excitation allowed estimation of the cross-sections of elastic and inelastic scattering of I₂ molecules on the upper and lower levels of transition. The observed nonlinear dependence of width and shift of the saturation resonance on iodine pressure is explained by the influence of elastic collisions with no phase mismatch.

Thermodynamics of Dissolution for Crystalline Racemic Tartaric and Glutaric Acids and Isatin in KOH Aqueous Solutions at 298.15 K

Enthalpies of dissolution are found for crystalline racemic tartaric and glutaric acids and isatin in water and in potassium hydroxide solutions at 298.15 K via direct calorimetry. The protolytic equilibria in isatin aqueous solutions are studied at 298.15 K and ionic strengths of 0.5 (relative to potassium nitrate) by potentiometric means. Standard enthalpies of formation are calculated for racemic tartaric and glutaric acids, isatin, and the products of their dissociation in aqueous solutions.     

Furan compounds

By reductive amination, starting from furfural, 5-methylfurfural, -(2-furyl)acrolein, and monoethanolamine, we have obtained N-furfurylaminoethanol, N-(5-methyl-2-furfuryl)aminoethanol, and N-[1-(-furyl)-3-propyl]aminoethanol. By reductive amination combined with the subsequent hydrogenation of the furan ring we have obtained N-tetrahydrofurfurylaminoethanol and N-(5-methyltetrahydro-2-furfuryl)aminoethanol.For part XXXIII, see [1].     

Second-order Zeeman effect of theX−B transition in molecular iodine

Saturated absorption spectroscopy was applied to study the line shape of the molecular iodineX( = 0,J = 13,15) B( = 43,J = 12, 16) transition ( = 514.5 nm) in a transversal magnetic field as high as 0.51 T. The Zeeman structure of several hyperfine structure (hfs) components was completely resolved and a detailed study of the second-order Zeeman shift and splitting was made. The anisotropic Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) of the molecular iodine both in theB(43) (X = 7.3 ± 1 × 10^–34 J/Oe²) and theX(0) [ = (0.6 ± 1) × 10^–34 J/Oe²] states as well as the isotropic MS difference [0 –o = (2 ± 0.2) × 10^–34 J/Oe²] was measured.     

Monofunctional polymers in liquid adsorption chromatography: determination of the interaction parameter in the range of weak interaction

The main physical characteristics of monofunctionals in adsorption chromatography - the adsorption interaction parameter of the repeat units c and the interaction parameter of specific end group q - are discussed. Both parameters are independent on column dimensions and pore diameter, and depend on mobile phase composition. In a plot of elution volumes V(n) vs. the difference DeltaV=V(n)-V(n-1) in elution volumes of consecutive non-functional or monofunctional oligomers, straight lines with the same slope are obtained for sufficiently high molar masses. The intercept of these lines yield the accessible volumes of functionalized and non-functionalized oligomers. In the range of weak interaction, the interaction parameter of the repeat unit can be determined using monofunctional chains with strongly adsorbing end group. Scope and limitations of this approach are studied using monoalkyl ethers of polypropylene glycol as model polymers.     

Plane steady filtration of liquid with variation in initial gradient

In a nonlinear formation, the plane steady filtration of a liquid in the case of variable initial gradient is investigated. Accurate analytical solutions of a number of problems are obtained for certain dependences of the initial gradient on the coordinate of a point in the region.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 46–53, March–April, 1977.The authors thank R.

Separation of a two-component flow in the interplate gap of a separator

The article discusses the settling of heavy solid particles in the conical interplate gap of a centrifugal separator. The residual concentration at the outlet from the interplate gas is calculated using the equation of the conservation of mass for the solid component. Formulas are obtained for calculating the residual concentration for the cases of the settling of monodisperse and polydisperse fractions of the solid component, with a known initial distribution of the concentration.     

Forward particle production in proton–nucleus interactions at momenta of 25 and 50 GeV/<Emphasis Type="Italic">с</Emphasis> and сarbon–nucleus interactions at an energy of 25 GeV per nucleon

Relative yields of high-x _F charged hadrons (π ^±, К^±, р, \(\overline p \), and d) in proton–nucleus interactions at incident-proton momenta of 25 and 50 GeV/c were measured at an angle of 0° in the momentum range between 15 and 40 GeV/c. An upper limit on the forward production of two protons in proton–nucleus interactions at 50 GeV/c was estimated. The properties of a carbon beam with an energy of 25 GeV per nucleon and fragment yields in its interaction with nuclear targets were measured within a short exposure.
