X-ray dosimetry using SAMOS type read-only memory

An X-ray dosimeter has been investigated with the use of a PROM of a SAMOS (stacked gate avalanche injection type MOS) structure. The SAMOS is employed as a memory IC. The SAMOS is different from a FAMOS (floating gate avalanche injection type MOS) in the presence of a control gate, with the use of this electrode, the analog amount of electrical charge accumulated in the floating gate can be measured. The X-ray dose can be determined by decreasing the amount of electron injected into floating gate by avalanche effect through X-ray irradiation. This dosimeter shows good linearity and flat energy response. The dosimeter has no effect on fading.     

Atom-probe study of hydrogen chemisorption on Fe and Ni

Iron and nickel, which are chemisorbing hydrogen, were mass-analyzed by the atom-probe mass spectrometer. Specimen temperature was varied from 20 to 200 K while maintaining the hydrogen pressure at 4 × 10^?6 Pa. The ratio of the number of hydrogen ions to that of Ni ions decreased sharply at the critical temperature which is low for the closely packed Fe(011) and Ni(111) planes, ~60 K, and high for other planes, ~100 K. The occurrence of hydrides was noticed only in the narrow temperature range around the critical temperature at which the largest number of hydride ions were detected. The observed results were explained as the result of the transition of the adsorption site of hydrogen atoms from the top of surface metal atoms to the sites between or under the surface atoms.     

Investigation of the electrode reaction of chromium(III) at the lead dioxide electrode

Summary Using the electro-deposited lead dioxide electrode as an indicator electrode, the electrode reaction of chromium(III) was investigated in unbuffered solution covering a pH range of about 2 to 8. Reduction and oxidation peaks, the heights of which increase with chromium(III) concentration, were observed. It was found that the electrode reaction of chromium(III) at the lead dioxide electrode depends on the pH of the solution and that the reaction at a pH lower than 3 differs from that at a pH higher than 3. The lead dioxide electrode seems to be useful for the determination of chromium(III).

Untersuchung der Elektrodenreaktion von Chrom(III) an der Bleidioxid-Elektrode

Zusammenfassung Mit der elektrolytisch belegten Bleidioxidelektrode als Indicatorelektrode wurde die Elektrodenreaktion von Chrom(III) in ungepufferter Lösung im pH-Bereich 2 bis 8 untersucht. Reduktions- und Oxidationspeaks, deren Höhe mit der Chrom(III)- Konzentration zunahm, wurden beobachtet. Es ergab sich, daß die Elektrodenreaktion vom pH der Lösung abhängt und im pH-Bereich unter und über 3 unterschiedlich ist. Die Bleidioxidelektrode scheint für die Bestimmung von Chrom(III) geeignet zu sein.

     

Fluorescence high-performance liquid chromatography of arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and some other higher fatty acids in ovary of several fishes

Summary A highly sensitive and selective fluorescence high-performance liquid chromatography using 9-anthryl-diazomethane as a pre-labelling reagent was applied to the simultaneous microanalysis of arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids, and some other higher fatty acids at nanogram level in ovary of several tropical adult fishes taken at Rabaul of New Britain. An existing tendency of arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids as precursor of prostaglandins in the generative organ of the fishes, has been revealed.

Investigation of the electrode reaction of EDTA and other complexanes at the lead dioxide electrode in aqueous solutions

Summary By using an electrodeposited lead dioxide electrode as an indicator electrode, the electrode reaction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and other complexanes was investigated in unbuffered solution covering a pH range of about 2–12. Well-defined anodic and cathodic peaks, the heights of which increase with EDTA concentration, were observed. In an anodic single-sweep process, one anodic pre-peak appeared only at a pH higher than 4. It was found that in the cathodic process lead dioxide on the electrode is reduced to lead ion which reacts with EDTA to form the complex and in the anodic process the lead complex is oxidized again and deposited onto the electrode as lead dioxide. The height of the anodic and cathodic peaks is directly proportional to the EDTA concentration. The lead dioxide electrode seems to be useful for determining a chelating agent such as the EDTA-type complexanes.

Untersuchung der Elektrodenreaktion von EDTA und anderen Komplexanen in wäßriger Lösung an der Bleidioxidelektrode

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der elektrolytisch belegten PbO₂-Elektrode wurde die Elektrodenreaktion von EDTA (sowie von IDA, NTA und DTPA) in ungepufferter Lösung im pH-Bereich 2–12 untersucht. Gut ausgebildete anodische und kathodische Peaks wurden beobachtet, deren Höhe mit der EDTA-Konzentration zunimmt. Im anodischen single-sweep-Prozeß erschien nur ein anodischer Vorpeak bei pH>4. Es wurde festgestellt, daß bei dem kathodischen Vorgang PbO₂ an der Elektrode zu Pb-Ion reduziert wird, das mit EDTA unter Komplexbildung reagiert, während an der Anode der Pb-Komplex wieder oxidiert und PbO₂ abgeschieden wird. Die Peakhöhen sind der EDTA-Konzentration direkt proportional. Die PbO₂-Elektrode erscheint daher von Nutzen für die Bestimmung von Komplexanen vom Typ des EDTA.
