Einige dielektrische Eigenschaften des gelben Bleioxyds

Zusammenfassung Es wurden einige dielektrische Eigenschaften polykristalliner gesinterter Bleioxydproben gemessen. Aus den Ergebnissen wird auf zwei Polarisationsvorgänge geschlossen, die bei niedrigen Frequenzen und Temperaturen zwischen 20–60 °C gleichzeitig die Werte der Dielektrizitätskonstante beeinflussen. Einer von ihnen ist mit dem Auftreten orientierter Bereíche verbunden, die spontane Polarisierung aufweisen, deren Sinn durch ein äusseres elektrisches Feld um 180° gedreht werden kann.     

Domain formation and orbital ordering transition in a doped Jahn-Teller insulator

The ground state of a double-exchange model for orbitally degenerate e(g) electrons with Jahn-Teller lattice coupling and weak disorder is found to be spatially inhomogeneous near half filling. Using a real-space Monte Carlo method we show that doping the half-filled orbitally ordered insulator leads to the appearance of hole-rich disordered regions in an orbitally ordered environment. The doping driven orbital order to disorder transition is accompanied by the emergence of metallic behavior. We present results on transport and optical properties along with spatial patterns for lattice distortions and charge densities, providing a basis for an overall understanding of the low-doping phase diagram of La1 - xCaxMnO3.     

A dynamic wind farm aggregate model for the simulation of power fluctuations due to wind turbulence

An important aspect related to wind energy integration into the electrical power system is the fluctuation of the generated power due to the stochastic variations of the wind speed across the area where wind turbines are installed. Simulation models are useful tools to evaluate the impact of the wind power on the power system stability and on the power quality. Aggregate models reduce the simulation time required by detailed dynamic models of multiturbine systems.In this paper, a new behavioral model representing the aggregate contribution of several variable-speed-pitch-controlled wind turbines is introduced. It is particularly suitable for the simulation of short term power fluctuations due to wind turbulence, where steady-state models are not applicable.The model relies on the output rescaling of a single turbine dynamic model. The single turbine output is divided into its steady state and dynamic components, which are then multiplied by different scaling factors. The smoothing effect due to wind incoherence at different locations inside a wind farm is taken into account by filtering the steady state power curve by means of a Gaussian filter as well as applying a proper damping on the dynamic part.The model has been developed to be one of the building-blocks of a model of a large electrical system, therefore a significant reduction of simulation time has been pursued. Comparison against a full model obtained by repeating a detailed single turbine model, shows that a proper trade-off between accuracy and computational speed has been achieved.     

The basic stratum of some simple Shimura varieties

Under simplifying hypotheses we prove a relation between the $\ell $ -adic cohomology of the basic stratum of a Shimura variety of PEL-type modulo a prime of good reduction of the reflex field and the cohomology of the complex Shimura variety. In particular we obtain explicit formulas for the number of points in the basic stratum over finite fields. We obtain our results using the trace formula and truncation of the formula of Kottwitz for the number of points on a Shimura variety over a finite fields.     

Theoretical results concerning the influence of non‐random‐field defects

We shall focus on extended defect systems and review their critical behavior. Primarily, with two aims, one of which is to understand phase transitions and how to derive effective dimension of extended defects with various structures, and the other is to propose a new research-method for defect systems, we let extended defects grow on a triangular lattice with frustration in a similar fashion to diffusion-limited aggregation, and discuss the situation. The existence of phase transitions, phase diagram, effective defect dimension, etc. will be shown. Furthermore, we shall summarize theoretical studies of extended defect systems on phase diagrams, critical behavior, tricritical behavior, and crossover behavior as static properties, and on nonconserved systems and conserved systems as dynamic properties.     

Synthesis, spectroscopy, magnetism, and X-ray structures of hexakis(1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole-N4)copper(II) salts

The compounds hexakis(1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole-N4)copper(II) tetrafluoroborate mono(1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole) (1) and hexakis(1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole-N4) copper(II) perchlorate mono(1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole) (2) were obtained from the crystallization of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole (teec) with the respective copper salt. The X-ray structures are reported. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c for 1: a = 25.754(3) Å, b = 18.162(3) Å, c = 10.298(2) Å = 104.294(7)° and Z = 4 and for 2: a = 25.745(3) Å, b = 18.197(3) Å, c = 10.29355(3) Å = 104.512(10)° and Z = 4. The Cu^II ions are octahedrally surrounded by six teec ligands. One free teec ligand is present in the structures. The Cu–N distances in the centrosymmetrical units are 2.01, 2.04, and 2.39 Å in both compounds, consistent with a Jahn–Teller elongated octahedron. The ligand field spectra of both compounds show a signal in the visible range at about 15.200 cm^–1 and by an EPR spectrum the following values are found: g _| = 2.29 and g = 2.03. The compounds are both paramagnetic and the T value of 0.37 cm^–1 K mol^–1, which is associated with S = 1/2, is what would be expected for a mononuclear Cu^II complex.     

Highly effective receptors showing di- vs. monosaccharide preference

Receptors and , incorporating two heterocyclic recognition units as well as oxime- or hydroxymethyl-based hydrogen-bonding sites, were prepared, and their binding properties toward neutral sugars were determined. The design of these receptors was inspired by the binding motifs observed in the crystal structure of protein-carbohydrate complexes. The receptors and are able to recognize both mono- and disaccharides, with a strong preference for the disaccharides. Both hydrogen-bonding and interactions of the sugar CH's with the phenyl rings of the receptor contribute to the stabilisation of the receptor-sugar complexes. Molecular modeling calculations, synthesis and binding studies are described.     

Multiphase telomerisation of butadiene with acetic acid and acetic anhydride

Two different routes to acetoxyoctadiene are presented. The first one uses the well-known telomerisation of butadiene with acetic acid operating in a multiphase semi-batch mode. The second reaction involves the cleavage of acetic anhydride, hydrogen transfer via ketene formation and thus a telomerisation as well.
