Electron paramagnetic resonance and FT-IR spectroscopic studies of DL-2-aminoadipic acid and ammonium acetate powders

Exposure of powder forms of DL-2-aminoadipic acid and ammonium acetate to gamma radiation results in the formation of free radicals detected by the electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy at room temperature. In these compounds, the observed paramagnetic species were attributed to the HOOCCH₂CH₂CH₂CHCOOH and CH₂COONH₄ radicals, respectively. The g values and the hyperfine coupling constants of the unpaired electron with the environmental protons were determined for these two radicals. In work, the observed paramagnetic species were found to be stable at room temperature for more than two months. Also, these compounds were characterised by FT-IR and UV–VIS. Their thermal stabilities were determined by TGA and DTA measurements. Thermal analyses were shown to be unstable of the HOOCCH₂CH₂CH₂CH(NH₂)COOH and CH₃COONH₄ against thermo-oxidative decomposition.     

Radiation damage produced in powder of α-(methylamino)isobutyric acid, α -aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester hydrochloride and diethylmalonic acid

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of γ-irradiated powders of α-(methylamino)isobutyric acid – CH₃NHC(CH₃)₂COOH, α -aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester hydrochloride – NH₂(CH₃)₂CCOOCH₃ HCl, and diethylmalonic acid – (CH₃CH₂)₂C(COOH)₂ have been investigated at room temperature. It has been found that γ -irradiation produces the (CH₃)₂C˙COOH radical in the first, the (CH₃)₂C˙COOCH₃ radical in the second and the (CH₃CH₂)₂C˙COOH radical in the third compound. The spectra were computer-simulated. The g values and the hyperfine coupling constants of the unpaired electron with the environmental methyl, methylene protons and OH proton were determined. The results were found to be in good agreement with the existing literature data and theoretical predictions.

Ab initio calculation of phonons in bulk HfC and the HfC(001)(1 × 1) surface

Structural, elastic and dynamical properties of the rock-salt HfC have been studied by employing an ab initio pseudopotential method and a linear response scheme, within the generalised gradient approximation. In addition to achieving good agreement with experimental measurements of the phonon dispersion results along the symmetry direction Γ-X, we have presented accurate dispersion results along several other directions in the Brillouin zone. Sharp features in the phonon density of states are ascertained and their origin discussed. This is followed by investigations of the structural, electronic and phonon properties of the HfC(001) surface. The agreement between our surface phonon spectrum and experimental measurements is very good. By analysing the atomic displacement patterns of the zone-centre and zone-edge phonon modes we have determined the energy locations and polarisation characteristics of Fuchs–Kliewer, Wallis, Lucas and Rayleigh modes.

On classification of conformally flat spaces

Classification of conformally flat n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces via Plebanski's method is discussed. It is based on embedding these spaces into a flat (n + 2)-dimensional space and on finding their minimal isometry groups which are subgroups of the conformal group. In particular, the case n = 4 is given in full detail and compared with incomplete results known in the literature. The found conformally flat spacetimes are identified with the associated solutions of the Einstein equations and with the spacetimes used in various cosmological considerations.     

New Deformation of Para-Bose Statistics

We propose commutation relations for a single mode -deformed para-Bose oscillator. In this new deformation of para-Bose statistics the distribution function has the same form as in the para-Bose statistics. Furthermore, we show analogies between the coherent states of -deformed and q-deformed para-Bose statistics.     

Equivalent contributing depth investigated by a lateral wave with axial transmission in viscoelastic cortical bone

Cortical bone is a viscoelastic heterogeneous medium which may be assessed with axial transmission. This work aims at evaluating the average depth investigated by the lateral wave for radial variations of material properties in relatively thick cortical bone. The equivalent contributing depth (ECD) is derived from the finite element simulation results for spatial variations of a viscoelastic coefficient (η(11)) and of porosity. A value of ECD equal to around 1.6 mm is obtained for a spatial variation of η(11). The method fails to predict accurate values of the ECD for a spatial variation of porosity, because all parameters vary simultaneously.
