Photoemission from solid surfaces in intense laser fields

We present a Floquet analysis of photoemission of electrons from a solid surface due to its interaction with a laser beam. The method we use is based on a three-dimensional quasifree electron model. The model takes account of the changes in the effective mass of the electron inside and outside the solid and in the reflected and refracted beams due to the presence of the surface. It is shown that the photoemission of electrons from the solid surface may take place not only with no absorption of photons but also along with the emission of extra photons.     

Properties of Chaotic and Regular Boundary Crisis in Dissipative Driven Nonlinear Oscillators

The phenomenon of the chaotic boundary crisis and the related concept of the chaotic destroyer saddle has become recently a new problem in the studies of the destruction of chaotic attractors in nonlinear oscillators. As it is known, in the case of regular boundary crisis, the homoclinic bifurcation of the destroyer saddle defines the parameters of the annihilation of the chaotic attractor. In contrast, at the chaotic boundary crisis, the outset of the destroyer saddle which branches away from the chaotic attractor is tangled prior to the crisis. In our paper, the main point of interest is the problem of a relation, if any, between the homoclinic tangling of the destroyer saddle and the other properties of the system which may accompany the chaotic as well as the regular boundary crisis. In particular, the question if the phenomena of fractal basin boundary, indeterminate outcome, and a period of the destroyer saddle, are directly implied by the structure of the destroyer saddle invariant manifolds, is examined for some examples of the boundary crisis that occur in the mathematical models of the twin-well and the single-well potential nonlinear oscillators.     

Free convection from horizontal screened plates

Experimental investigations of laminar free convection from horizontal isothermal surfaces screened by cylindrical vertical walls are presented. Screen diameters (D) were equal to the diameter of a heating plate while their heights (H) were varied. Results obtained for several heating fluxes and two different liquids indicate that depending on the (H/D) ratio of cylindrical screens, the heat flux transferred from the heating plate to the liquid varies. Three subranges of screening effect have been distinguished: primary inhibition, intensification and secondary inhibition. For primary inhibition, a theoretical model has been proposed and critical ratio of (H/D) has been predicted. The results of flow visualization are also discussed.

Freie Konvektion von horizontalen, seitlich abgeschirmten Platten

Zusammenfassung Es werden experimentelle Untersuchungen der laminaren freien Konvektion an horizontalen, isothermen Flächen mit vertikalen zylindrischen Abschirmflächen beschrieben. Die Schirmdurchmesser (D) waren gleich dem einer Heizplatte, während die Schirmhöhen (H) variiert wurden. Die Resultate, welche für mehrere Wärmeflüsse und mit zwei verschiedenen Flüssigkeiten gewonnen wurden, zeigen, daß — abhängig von VerhältnisH/D der zylindrischen Schirme — der von der Heizplatte an das Fluid übergehende Wärmestrom stark variiert. Drei Bereiche konnten bezüglich des Abschirmeffektes unterschieden werden: erste Hemmung, Verstärkung und zweite Hemmung. Für den Fall der ersten Hemmung wird ein theoretisches Modell vorgeschlagen und das kritischeH/D-Verhältnis vorausberechnet. Abschließend erfolgt die Diskussion von Ergebnissen, welche aus der sichtbaren Darstellung des Strömungsfeldes gewonnen wurde.

On Thermodynamics of Nonlinear Poroelastic Materials

The paper contains a brief presentation of a macroscopical thermodynamic model of poroelastic materials with many fluid components. A particular emphasis is placed on a Lagrangian formulation of the model and, consequently, on a consistent formulation of field equations on the reference configuration of the skeleton (solid phase of the mixture). It is demonstrated that the model possesses an identical structure as that in the pioneering work of C.A. Truesdell on the continuum mixture of fluids. An issue of porosity as an additional microstructural variable is particularly exposed.     

On refined plate models based on kinematical assumptions

Summary In the first part of the paper an energy-consistent model for thick, elastic, isotropic plates based upon Jemielita's kinematical hypothesis is proposed. Since no assumptions on stresses are stipulated the model is free of the usual discrepancy between stress and displacement fields, viz. no one of the constitutive equations being violated. The objective of the second part of the paper is to perform a passage from the model obtained to the simplified one which is energy-inconsistent. This latter model proves far-reaching similarities to the first Reissner theory and, on the other hand, when an appropriate change of the function standing for the averaged plate deflection is made, — to the Kelkel's considerations.

Verfeinerte, auf kinematischen Annahmen gegründete Plattenmodelle

Übersicht Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird ein energetisch konsequentes Modell einer dicken, isotropen Platte vorgeschlagen. Das Modell wird auf der Jemielita's kinematischen Hypothese gegründet. Da keine Voraussetzungen hinsichtlich der Spannungen aufgezwungen werden, ist das Modell von den in der Regel entstehenden Widersprüchen zwischen dem Spannungs- und Verschiebungsfeld frei, d. h. keine von den Gleichungen des Hooke'schen Gesetzes wird verletzt. Das Ziel des zweiten Teiles der Arbeit ist ein Übergang von dem hergeleiteten Modell zum energetisch inkonsequenten Modell. Die Gleichungen, die das letzte Modell beschreiben, zeigen weitgehende Ähnlichkeiten entweder mit den Gleichungen der ersten Reissnerschen Theorie, oder — nach entsprechender Umgestaltung der Funktion, die die Plattendurchbiegung beschreibt — mit den Kelkels Gleichungen.

     

Towards Clathrates: Frozen States of Hydration of tert‐Butylamine

The dilution of tert‐butylamine (tBA) with water and subsequent cooling leads to a large series of different crystalline hydrates by an in situ IR laser melting‐zone procedure. The crystal structures were determined for tBA?n H₂O, with n=0, , 1, 7 , 7 , 9 , 11, and 17. For the two lower hydrates (n= , 1), one‐ and two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded networks are formed, respectively. The higher hydrates (n>1) exhibit a clathrate‐like three‐dimensional water framework with the tBA molecules as part of, or sitting inside, the cages. In all cases, tBA is hydrogen‐bonded to the H₂O framework. In the intermediate range (1相似文献   

Phenanthriporphyrin: An Antiaromatic Aceneporphyrinoid as a Ligand for a Hypervalent Organophosphorus(V) Moiety

The incorporation of a phenanthrene moiety into a porphyrin framework results in the formation of a hybrid macrocycle—phenanthriporphyrin—merging the structural features of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and porphyrins. An antiaromatic aceneporphyrinoid, adopting the trianionic {CCNN} core, is suitable for the incorporation of a phosphorus(V) center to form a hypervalent organophosphorus(V) derivative.     

π‐Expanded α,β‐Unsaturated Ketones: Synthesis,Optical Properties,and Two‐Photon‐Induced Polymerization

A library of π‐expanded α,β‐unsaturated ketones was designed and synthesized. They were prepared by a combination of Wittig reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and aldol condensation. It was further demonstrated that the double aldol condensation can be performed effectively for highly polarized styrene‐ and diphenylacetylene‐derived aldehydes. The strategic placement of two dialkylamino groups at the periphery of D ‐π‐A‐π‐D molecules resulted in dyes with excellent solubility. These ketones absorb light in the region 400–550 nm. Many of them display strong solvatochromism so that the emission ranges from 530–580 nm in toluene to the near‐IR region in benzonitrile. Ketones based on cyclobutanone as central moieties display very high fluorescence quantum yields in nonpolar solvents, which decrease drastically in polar media. Photophysical studies of these new functional dyes revealed that they possess an enhanced two‐photon absorption cross section when compared with simpler ketone derivatives. Due to strong polarization of the resulting dyes, values of two‐photon absorption cross sections on the level of 200–300 GM at 800 nm were achieved, and thanks to that as well as the presence of the keto group, these new two‐photon initiators display excellent performance so that the operating region is 5–75 mW in some cases.
