Redetermination of sperminium tetrachloride

In the title compound, 1,5,10,14‐tetraazoniatetra­decane tetrachloride, C₁₀H₃₀N₄⁴⁺·4Cl⁻, the sperminium tetracation lies on a centre of symmetry. The two central C—N—C—C torsion angles are gauche and of opposite signs, and all the other torsion angles are trans. All NH groups participate in the three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network, which is additionally strengthened by C—H⋯Cl interactions.     

Stress Analysis of an Orthotropic Work-Hardening Cylinder with Body Force*

ABSTRACT

An elastoplastic analysis of an axisymmetric cylinder subjected to linear body forces is presented. The effect of reinforcement and anisotropy are also included. Classical plasticity and familiar assumptions of plane stress and strain are used to arrive at closed-form solutions for the case of linear body forces. The problem is solved for the general case in which orthotropy is considered in the elastic range. For the case of plasticity, first the isotropic yield functions (von Mises and Tresca) are used and then the problem is extended to the case of Hill's yield criterion. Closed-form solutions are found for both the von Mises (plane strain) and Tresca (plane stress and strain) cases.     

X-ray and dielectric characterization of Co doped tetragonal BaTiO3 ceramics

ABSTRACT

The crystal structure modifications of BaTiO₃ induced by cobalt doping were studied. The polycrystalline (1 ? x)BaTiO₃ + xCo₂O₃ samples, with x ≤ 10 wt.%, were prepared by high temperature sintering conventional method. According to X-ray phase and structural characterization, performed by full-profile Rietveld refinement technique, all synthesized samples showed tetragonal symmetry perovskite structure with minor amount of parasitic phases. Pure single-phase composition has been detected only in the low level of doping BaTiO₃. It was indicated that substitution of Co for the Ti sites in the (1 ? x)BaTiO₃ + xCo₂O₃ series led to decrease of tetragonality (c/a) of the BaTiO₃ perovskite structure. This effect almost vanished in the (1 ? x)BaTiO₃ + xCo₂O₃ samples with nominal Co content higher than ～1 wt.%, in which precipitation of parasitic Co-containing phases CoO and Co₂TiO₄ has been observed. Based on the results, the solubility limit of Co in Ti sub-lattice in the (1 ? x)BaTiO₃ + xCo₂O₃ series is estimated as x = 0.75 wt.%.     

On the classification and modular extendability of E0-semigroups on factors

In this paper we study modular extendability and equimodularity of endomorphisms and E₀-semigroups on factors, when these definitions are recast to the context of faithful normal semifinite weights and this dependency is analyzed. We show that modular extendability is a property that does not depend on the choice of weights, it is a cocycle conjugacy invariant and it is preserved under tensoring. Furthermore, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for equimodularity of endomorphisms in the context of weights. This extends previously known results regarding the necessity of this condition in the case of states. The classification of E₀-semigroups on factors is considered: a modularly extendable E₀-semigroup is said to be of type EI, EII or EIII if its modular extension is of type I, II or III, respectively. We prove that all types exist on properly infinite factors. We show that q-CCR flows are not extendable, and we extend previous results by the first author regarding the non-extendability of CAR flow to a larger class of quasi-free states. We also compute the coupling index and the relative commutant index for the CAR flows and q-CCR flows. As an application, by considering repeated tensors of the CAR flows we show that there are infinitely many non cocycle conjugate non-extendable E₀-semigroups on the hyperfinite factors of types II₁ and III_λ, for $\text{◂+▸}\lambda \in (0,1)$.     

Admissible linear estimators in restricted linear models

Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for a linear estimator to be admissible among the set of all homogeneous and inhomogeneous, linear estimators under a linear model with the vector of parameters subject to linear restrictions. These conditions are then utilized to characterize influence that restrictions involved in a linear model have on the class of admissible linear estimators.     

Simultaneous thermally stimulated luminescence and depolarization current in low density polyethylene

Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSD) measurements were made simultaneously on low density polyethylene samples 0.175 mm thick, carrying evaporated gold electrodes. The samples were dc-polarized at room temperature at a field strength of 90 kV/cm, cooled to –190°C and X-irradiated with the field still applied, and then heated in short-circuit at 3 deg/min. Comparing the TSL and TSD data, particularly the effects of oxidizing the samples and immersing them in fuming nitric acid, it was shown that (1) the space-charge transport component of the TSD current between –190 and 30°C is negligible, (2) charge injection begins around –10°C (for evaporated gold electrodes) and increases rapidly with increasing temperature, and (3) all the injected charge is transported through the sample to the opposite electrode. Such transport takes place only through the amorphous regions of the sample.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden simultane TSL- und TSD-Messungen an 0.175 mm starken, über aufgedampfte Goldelektroden verfügende Polyethylenproben geringer Dichte durchgeführt. Die Proben wurden bei Raumtemperatur und einer Feldstärke von 90 kV/cm gleichstrompolarisiert, auf –190°C abgekühlt, bei noch anliegendem Feld röntgenbestrahlt und dann unter Kurzschluß mit 3 Grad/min erhitzt. Durch einen Vergleich der TSL- und TSD-Daten, insbesondere der Wirkung der Oxydation der Proben bzw. des Eintauchens in rauchende Salpetersäure, zeigten, daß (1) die Raumladungstransport-Komponente des TSD-Stromes zwischen –190 und 30°C vernachlässigbar ist, (2) die Ladungsinjektion bei etwa — 10°C beginnt (für aufgedampfte Goldelektroden) und mit steigender Temperatur schnell anwächst und (3) die gesamte injezierte Ladung durch die Probe hindurch an die gegenüberliegende Elektrode transportiert wird. Ein derartiger Transport erfolgt nur in den amorphen Regionen der Probe.

Synthesis,crystal structure and other properties of the complexes of Er(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) with 4,4′-bipyridine and dichloroacetates

A novel mixed-ligand complexes of Er(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) with title ligands were prepared and characterized by chemical and elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy, conductivity (in methanol, dimethyloformamide and dimethylsulphoxide). The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied. The mode of metal–ligand coordination was discussed. The title compounds are isomorphic and isostructural in solid state. All atoms in studied compounds lie in general positions but occurrence of inversion on the midpoint of the bond linking two pyridine rings leads to existence in asymmetric unit one complex molecule and half of outer coordination sphere 4-bpy molecule. All chelating carboxylate groups are symmetrically bonded to the metal cations. The molecules of studied compounds are connected to the three dimensional network via O–H···O and O–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In the structures also exist C–H···O, C–H···Cl weak hydrogen bonds and π····π stacking interactions.     

Raising Bi-O bands above the Fermi energy level of hole-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta and other cuprate superconductors

The Fermi surface (FS) of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Bi2212) predicted by band theory displays Bi-related pockets around the (pi, 0) point, which have never been observed experimentally. We show that when the effects of hole doping either by substituting Pb for Bi or by adding excess O in Bi2212 are included, the Bi-O bands are lifted above the Fermi energy (E(F)) and the resulting first-principles FS is in remarkable accord with measurements. With decreasing hole doping the Bi-O bands drop below and the system self-dopes below a critical hole concentration. Computations on other Bi- as well as Tl- and Hg-based compounds indicate that lifting of the cation-derived band with hole doping is a general property of the electronic structures of the cuprates.
