Fourth-order diagrammatic MB-RSPT calculations of the interaction energy between two helium atoms

The efficiency of the MB-RSPT in the calculations of the correlation contributions to the interaction energies was investigated, using He₂ as a model Van der Waals system. The attention has been focused on the convergency of the perturbation expansion in the calculations of the interaction energy and on the analysis of the fourth-order terms of MB-RSPT. The rôle of the renormalization term in the correct long-range behaviour of the interaction potential has been emphasized.     

Reaction of N-phenylsulfonylbenzoxazolone with some amines

The reaction of N-phenylsulfonylbenzoxazolone with amines was investigated in order to study the mechanism of the reaction between aryloxazolones and amines. The sulfonyl group accelerates the reaction considerably. The structure of 2-(phenylsulfamido)phenyl esters of the corresponding N-substituted carbamic acids was assigned to the products on the basis of the IR spectra and alternative synthesis. The reaction with secondary aliphatic amines (dimethyl- and diethylamine)proceeds considerably more slowly and results in the formation of 2-(phenylsulfamido)phenol.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1333–1336, October, 1971.     

Determination of phosphorous in organic compounds and metal complexes by inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

Phosphorus is determined by inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry at 213.618 nm. Different types of organic and inorganic phosphorus compounds and metal complexes were examined after direct dissolution in water, aqueous ethanol or acid, or after decomposition by oxygen flask combustion or Kjeldahl digestion; results were within the usual limit of precision and accuracy for such determinations. The effect of small (<20%) ethanol concentrations in the aqueous solution on the signals obtained from a low-power (1200 W) argon plasma is examined and discussed.     

About the ratio of the size of a maximum antichain to the size of a maximum level in finite partially ordered sets

LetP be a finite partially ordered set. The lengthl(x) of an elementx ofP is defined by the maximal number of elements, which lie in a chain withx at the top, reduced by one. Letw(P) (d(P)) be the maximal number of elements ofP which have the same length (which form an antichain). Further let . The numbers and as well as all partially ordered sets for which these maxima are attained are determined.     

The inhomogeneity of plastic deformation

Considerable local strain differences occur in single crystals as a consequence of slip bands. A significant contribution to this phenomenon is the effect of the deformation rate on the inhomogeneity of its distribution. In polycrystalline materials the plastic deformation is affected by grain boundaries and their vicinity as well as by various orientations of single grains in onephase metals and alloys, and by various component properties in multiphase materials. In some cases it has been possible to describe these phenomena by means of micromechanics. Valuable information has also been acquired by means of three-dimensional stereology.     

The influence of tensile stress on grain and cell boundary precipitation in supersaturated Al-Zn alloys during creep

The results are presented of the optical microscopic and X-ray diffraction study of the stress-induced nucleation and growth of (Zn) precipitates at grain and cell boundaries (GB's and CB's) during uniaxial creep at 200 °C of supersaturated AlZn20 and AlZn30 alloys. The rate of precipitation is increased mainly owing to the modifying effect of tensile stress on diffusion processes in alloy samples during their anneal. The diffusion of Zn atoms toward GB's and CB's from adjacent regions of grains is accompanied during creep by diffusive flux of Zn along boundaries parallel or nearly parallel to the tensile creep axis toward boundaries with near to normal orientation to that axis. Enhanced precipitation of results then preferentially at the latter and is supressed at the former boundaries where even the dissolution of preexisting has been found during a later application of tensile stress. The stress-induced precipitation of at GB's gradually ceases with prolonged creep exposures due to the lengthening of duffusion paths of Zn atoms from grain interior to GB's.Dissolution of lamellae by their regress toward GB's and CB's is assisted with the stress-induced diffusion of Zn along epitaxial / lamellar interfaces. Copious precipitation of at the parts of GB's and/or CB's with near to normal orientation to the creep axis is then observed on account of Zn from dissolved lamellae. Creep strain also leads to the fragmentation of lamellae and thus also to breaking down of the paths for diffusion of Zn along / interfaces. Spheroidization of fragmented parts of lamellae is then observed. Spheroids of remain embedded within the former lamellar regions.Large creep strains and high strain rates observed on fine-grained alloy samples may be associated with an enhanced viscous GB sliding due to the stress-dependent flow of Zn along GB's and/or CB's.     

On kinetics of the photodissociation iodine laser

The kinetics of iodine laser amplifiers is examined by solving the time evolution equations of chemical kinetics during optical pumping. The pumping radiation intensity is modelled by a black body of the temperature varying in time (corresponding to the flash lamp pulse). A brief comparison is made of pumping effects by long and short light pulses. Pumping by the long pulse is studied in more detail and it is found that there exists an optimum pulse strength beyond which the inversion in the laser mixture no longer grows appreciably, only its lifetime is shortened. In this connection the effect of pyrolysis of the alkyliodide molecule is also discussed. The pyrolysis is found to occur under very strong illumination, but it does not interfere with the photolytic decomposition and the optimum laser action. Finally, the influence of the reaction rate constants is studied in a systematic way and only few of them are found to carry real weight.The authors are obliged to Drs. S. V. Kuznetsova and A. I. Maslov who were consulted on the values of the reaction constants and who also drew our attention to some of the references.     

Electrical properties of some crystalline salts of adenine

In the present paper we report the first experimental results on ac and dc conductivity and permittivity of adenine hemisulphate hydrate and adenine sulphate measured at atmospheric and high hydrostatic pressures. For both materials ac conductivity is of ^s type, where:s 1·1· Room temperature dc conductivity of adenine hemisulphate hydrate equals approximately 5×10^{–15 –1} cm^–1 with an activation energy of 0·86 eV; dc conductivity of adenine sulphate is less than 10^–16 cm^–1. On the basis of these measurements and those carried out at high pressure, it is concluded that conductivity of adenine hemisulphate hydrate is of electronic type.The authors wish to thank Dr. J. Zachová for the preparation of adenine salts single crystals.     

The d-resonance scattering in amorphous Fe x Pd80−x Si20 alloy

The electrical resistivity of amorphous Fe _x Pd_80–x Si₂₀ alloy has been discussed in terms of extended Ziman theory. The increase in the electrical resistivity of Fe _x Pd_80–x Si₂₀ has been predicted due to the d-resonance scattering of the conduction electrons by Fe-atoms.Dedicated to Academician Vladimír Hajko on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

Density of states for intermediate valence and Kondo systems

We calculate the density of states for the nondegenerate Anderson model for various values ofu=U/ andn _f using the perturbation theory withu as the expansion parameter. Summing all the -independent self-energy diagrams, we use the Friedel sum rule and Ward identities to express the physical quantities in terms of the remaining -dependent part of the self-energy, which we evaluate to the 2nd order. The results for the spin and charge susceptibilities obtained in such a way compare rather well with the Bethe-ansatz results. The density of states exhibits different features in different parts of the parameter space. In Kondo region (u>1,n _f 1, i.e., – _f ~U/2), we obtain a many-body resonance (half-width T _K ) around the Fermi level and two broad peaks () at about _f +n _f U and _f +U. In the VF region (u>1, and | _f |) we obtain only two peaks (), one at about _f and one between _f +n _f U and _f +U. The consequences regarding the shape of the photoemission and inverse photoemission spectra of Ce intermetallics are discussed.
