Generalized mean-square amplitudes of vibration in some XY4 type ions (II)

The generalized mean-square amplitudes of vibration and mean amplitudes of vibration have been computed for CrO^3-₄, Mn¹⁸O^-₄, MoSe^2-₄ and WSe^2-₄ ions at three temperatures, T = 0°K, T = 298°K, T = 500°K, employing Cyvin's method. The results have been discussed in the light of atomic weight and electronegativity of the atom in the ionic system.     

Tüpfelmethode auf Phosphat,angewandt in prähistorischer Forschung (als Feldmethode)

Zusammenfassung Die Tüpfelmethode nachFeigl auf Phosphat wurde durch die Einführung von Ascorbinsäure als Reduktionsmittel als Feldmethode modifiziert. Sie eignet sich entsprechend ihrer leichten und raschen Ausführbarkeit und Empfindlichkeit zur Untersuchung von Bohrprofilen auf die in prähistorischen Siedlungsschichten erhöhten Phosphatgehalte.

Summary The spot test for phosphate developed byFeigl was modified by the use of ascorbic acid as the reducing agent; a field method results. In accord with the ease of conducting this test and its rapidity, and sensitivity, it has proved useful for the study of boring profiles with respect to their enhanced phosphate contents in prehistoric settlement strata.

Résumé On a modifié la méthode à la touche deFeigl pour les phosphates sur le terrain, en employant l'acide ascorbique comme agent de réduction. En raison de son exécution facile et rapide et de sa sensibilité, elle convient à l'étude des profils de carottage pour les teneurs en phosphates élevées dans les couches de dépôts préhistoriques.

     

Beiträge zur Chromatographie organischer Substanzen. VI. Die Dünnschichtchromatographie der Kohlehydrate

Zusammenfassung Es wird über die Trennung einiger Mono-, Di- und Trisaccharide auf Kieselgur- und Kieselgelträgern berichtet. Ferner wird die Trennung Raffinose-Saccharose bei ungünstigen Mengenverhältnissen (z.B. Melasse) durchgeführt und hierzu eine verbesserte Keilstreifentechnik entwickelt.

Summary A report is given on the separation of several mono-, di-, and trisaccharides on kieselguhr and silica gel carriers. In addition, the raffinose-saccharose separation was carried out with unfavorable quantity ratios (for example molasses) and an improved wedge strip technique was developed.

Résumé On décrit la séparation de quelques mono-, di- et trisaccharides sur supports de kieselguhr et de gel de silice. On réalise ensuite la séparation raffinosesaccharose en proportions quelconques (par exemple mélasse) et l'on propose à partir de cela une technique de la bandelette en forme de coin améliorée.

     

Scanning Kelvin Microscope: a new method for surface investigations

Based on the well known Kelvin probe for work function measurements a new microstructure analysis system - the Scanning Kelvin Microscope - has been developed. It allows to measure simultaneously with high lateral resolution the distribution of the contact potential difference (CPD) between a conductive sample and a reference probe together with the topographical structure of the sample surface. The measurement is contact free and non-destructive and can be carried out in natural environments. At present the lateral resolution of the measurement approaches 5 microm. The results can be displayed on a computer in three dimensional colour pictures.     

AFM and XRD investigation of crystalline vapor-deposited C60 films

The morphological and structural properties of C₆₀ films deposited on quartz substrates by sublimation at 320–500° C under high vacuum have been investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and reflection X-ray diffraction (RXRD). The thickness of the films varied between 0.2 m and 10 m. AFM showed that the films consist predominantly of cubic crystals of a few micrometer in size with well-developed (111) and (100) faces. The crystallographic investigation revealed a strongly preferred [111] growth direction which is very sensitive to the deposition rate and substrate temperature. The influence of the experimental parameters on the morphology of the crystals and on the preferred orientation of the films is discussed in view of the AFM and RXRD results.     

Forced lattice vibrations: Part I

This is the First part of a two-part series on forced lattice vibrations in which a semi-infinite lattice of one-dimensional particles {x_n}_n≧1 is driven from one end by a particle x₀. This particle undergoes a given, periodically perturbed, uniform motion, _x0(_t) = _at + _h(_yt), where a and γ are constants and h(·) has period 2π. For a wide variety of restoring forces F (i.e., F′ > 0), numerical calculations indicate the existence of a sequence of thresholds γ₁ = γ₁(a, h, F) > γ₂ = γ₂(a,h,F) > … > γ_k = γ_k(a,h,F) > …, γ_k → 0, as k → ∞. If γ_k > γ > γ_k+1, a k-phase wave that is well described by the wave form, emerges and travels through the lattice. The goal of this series is to describe the emergence and calculate some properties of these wave forms. In Part I the authors first consider the case where F(x) = e^x (i.e., Toda forces) but h is arbitrary, and show how to compute a basic diagnostic (see J(λ), formula (1.26)) for the system in terms of the solution of an associated scalar Riemann-Hilbert problem, once a certain finite set of numbers is known. In another direction, the authors consider the case where F(x) is restoring but arbitrary, and h is small. Here the authors prove a general result, asserting that if there exists a sufficiently ample family of traveling-wave solutions of the doubly infinite lattice, then it is possible to construct time-periodic k-phase wave solutions with asymptotics in n of type (iii) for the driven system (i). In Part II, the authors prove that sufficiently ample families of traveling-wave solutions of the system (iv) exist in the cases γ > γ₁ and γ₁ > γ > γ₂ for general restoring forces F. In the case with Toda forces, F(x) = e^x, the authors prove that sufficiently ample families of traveling-wave solutions.
