Spectral properties of one-dimensional disperse crystals

The connection between the spectral characteristics of the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with periodic potential, asa, and the spectral characteristic of the Schrödinger operatorl(y)=–y+q(x)y with a decreasing potentialq(x) is studied.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Photophysical processes and the photodissociation of chemical bonds in polyatomic molecules

The main concepts of the nature of electronically excited states in polyatomic molecules and the intramolecular and intermolecular processes of their evolution are reported. The dependence of the probabilities of these processes on the electronic structure of the molecule is considered. Possible mechanisms of the dissociation of electronically excited molecules with bond cleavage are discussed, and the theoretical results of this consideration are given. The experimental data obtained by the authors are interpreted. In this case, attention is focused on C-H-bond photodissociation processes in a condensed phase, which are the best studied processes. The dissociation of other bonds is briefly discussed.     

Coulomb energy averaged over the nlN-atomic states with a definite spin

A purely group-theoretical approach (for which the symmetric group plays a central role), based upon the use of properties of fractional-parentage coefficients and isoscalar factors, is developed for the derivation of the Coulomb energy averaged over the states, with a definite spin, arising from an atomic configuration nl^N. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Effects of ultraviolet laser radiation on Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus.

The effects of usual low-intensity continuous (lambda = 254 nm, I = 10 W/m2) UV radiation and high-intensity laser nanosecond (lambda = 266 nm, tau p = 10 ns, I = 10(9) W/m2) or picosecond (lambda = 266 nm, tau p = 23 ps, I = 10(12) W/m2) UV radiation on Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus (a member of the Togaviridae family) were compared. The quantum yields of infectivity inactivation, pyrimidine dimer formation and RNA-protein crosslinking were determined.     

Synthesis of 2, 4, 6-trialkyl-3-hydroxypyridines

Summary A new method was proposed for the synthesis of 2,4,6-trialky1-3-hydroxypyridines by the reactions of 3,5-dialkyl-2-acylfurans with ammonia.     

Dissociative Excitation of MnII and MnCl in Electron Collisions with Manganese Dichloride

The dissociative excitation of MnII spectral lines and MnCl spectral bands upon e–MnCl₂ collisions was experimentally studied. Dissociative excitation is most effective for the low-lying ⁵ P° and ⁷ P° levels of MnII. Two sequences = 0 in the – systems of the MnCl molecule were detected. Possible pathways of dissociative excitation of MnII are discussed.
