Structure and properties of bis{[2-(4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl)phen]ethyl}phosphine sulfide

Previously unknown bis[2-(4-tert-butyl)phen]ethylphosphine sulfide is obtained with a high yield from 4-tert-butyl styrene, red phosphorus, and elemental sulfur. Using single crystal XRD, multinuclear NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy, it is found that the phosphorus atom is four-coordinated in the bis[2-(4-tert-butyl)phen]ethylphosphine sulfide molecule (regardless of the phase state of the compound: crystal, solution). By the example of phosphorylation of bis[2-(4-tert-butyl)phen]ethylphosphine sulfide acetylene in the KOH-DMSO system it is shown that the reaction proceeds by double addition with the participation of phosphorus-centered nucleophiles.     

Selective synthesis of hydrazinium diselenophosphinates from secondary phosphines,elementary selenium,and hydrazine

A three-component reaction of secondary phosphines, elementary selenium, and hydra zine hydrate (the molar ratio 1: 2: 1.1) selectively proceeds under mild conditions (EtOH, 70-75°C, 0.5 h) to form earlier unknown hydrazinium diselenophosphinates (81-95%).

High precision study of muon catalyzed fusion in D2 and HD gas

Muon catalyzed dd fusion in D₂ and HD gases in the temperature range from 28 to 350 K was investigated in a series of experiments based on a time-projection ionization chamber operating with pure hydrogen. All main observables in this reaction chain were measured with high absolute precision including the resonant and non-resonant ddμ formation rates, the rate for hyperfine transitions in dμ atoms, the branching ratio of the two charge symmetric fusion channels ³He + n and t + p and the muon sticking probability. The report presents the final analysis of the data together with a comprehensive comparison with calculations based on recent μCF theories. The energy of the loosely bound ddμ state with quantum numbers J = 1, ν = 1, which is central to the mechanism of resonant molecule formation, is extracted with precision ?₁₁(fit) = ?1.9651(7) eV. in impressive agreement with the latest theoretical results ?₁₁(theory) = ?1.9646 eV.     

Femtosecond laser ablation of ZnO nanorods for two-photon-pumped random lasing and optical data storage

Femtosecond laser ablation based on two-photon absorption was employed to cut ZnO nanorods into uniform ZnO nanoparticles of deep subwavelength size. The fabricated ZnO nanoparticles possess a shorter mean transport length for photons at the emission wavelength and a much smaller scattering cross section at the pump wavelength, leading to highly efficient two-photon-pumped random lasing with a low threshold of ??8?mJ/cm². It was demonstrated that the significant enhancement in two-photon luminescence after the irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses could also be utilized for realizing optical data storage.     

An Inverse Problem for an Harmonic Oscillator Perturbed by Potential: Uniqueness

Consider the perturbed harmonic oscillator Ty = -y" + x²y + q(x)y on L²(R) where the real potential q satisfy some assumption on infinity (the case q L²(R), (t+1)^-rdt), r < 1 is covered).     

Measuring the polarization of coherent light beams

We consider the conditions of interference of totally polarized light beams of arbitrary polarization that allow one to measure their vector characteristics by means of optical heterodyning. It is shown that the intensity of a light beam resulted from the superposition of two plane totally polarized waves with arbitrary polarizations represents a sum of two interference patterns, each of them being the result of superposition of conamed components of an orthogonal expansion of the electric field of the total light wave. The possibility of electronic registration of information in real time is demonstrated.     

Hydrocarbon film formed on the surface of a semiconductor irradiated by an electron beam

The rate of formation of a hydrocarbon film on the surface of a sample subjected to the action of an electron beam is studied at room temperature and in cooling a sample to the liquid nitrogen temperature. The thickness and the optical radiation transmission of such films are measured as functions of the electron beam radiation time, the sample temperature, and the level of vacuum. The film thickness is measured with atomic force microscopy. The absorption of the films is determined by comparing the cathodoluminescence intensities from a pure sample surface and from the surface covered with a film. The experimental results can be used to estimate the film formation rate as a function of the sample temperature and the vacuum and to determine the optical radiation absorption at a wavelength of 300, 360, 550, and 665 nm.
