Asymmetric alkylation of dimethoxyphosphoryl-N-[1-(S)-alpha-methylbenzyl]acetamide enolates. Synthesis of both stereoisomers from the same source of chirality by changing the equivalents of LDA

A new methodology has been developed for the synthesis of both stereoisomers from a single chiral source.

Controlled observation of a nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch transition in a nonlinear optical cavity

We report the controlled observation of the nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch transition in a broad area nonlinear optical cavity (a quasi-1D single longitudinal-mode photorefractive oscillator in a degenerate four-wave mixing configuration). Our experimental technique allows for the controlled injection of the domain walls. We use cavity detuning as control parameter and find that both Ising and Bloch walls can exist for the same detuning values within a certain interval of detunings; i.e., the Ising-Bloch transition is hysteretic in our case. A complex Ginzburg-Landau model is used for supporting the observations.     

Enhancing the phase profile and contrast of an interferogram by polarization recording in bacteriorhodopsin

Interferometry is a technique for reconstructing the profiles of phase objects. We present a novel interferometric setup for generating interferograms with doubled phase profile and enhanced contrast compared with the standard interferogram. The proposed system consists of a two-beam interferometer in which the reference and test waves are circularly polarized orthogonally to each other. They are superposed upon a bacteriorhodopsin film, creating a polarization grating that is distorted by the phase of the test object. This polarization pattern is read by a polarized He-Ne beam. We show analytically and experimentally that, when the zero diffraction order is removed, an interferogram with doubled phase profile and enhanced contrast is obtained.     

Secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation on chemical vapor deposited CeO(2-)ZrO(2)-TiO(2) thin films

Mixed CeO(2)-ZrO(2) systems have attracted widespread interest for their use in three-way catalyst (TWC) technology for automotive exhaust conversion to non-toxic products. In this work, CeO(2)-ZrO(2) thin films were deposited, via chemical vapor deposition, in order to obtain nanoscale materials with a high surface-to-volume ratio, with precise control of system properties. The addition of TiO(2) as buffer layer was also investigated. Cordierite was chosen as substrate, being the usual refractory material for catalytic mufflers. The multilayers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In particular, the combination of SIMS and XPS allowed us to investigate both surface and in-depth chemical composition, studying also film-intermixing phenomena induced by annealing processes.
