Sur la structure des alkylcycloarsoxanes (RAsO)α

Organometallic compounds of general formula (RAsO)_α are associated as trimers (R = C₂H₅, C₃H₇, C₄H₉) or even as a tetramer (R = CH₃). Their physicochemical properties show them to be cyclic, the oxygen atoms being located in the bridging position. A “limited” electron delocalization may occur in these rings.     

Thermodynamic study of alkali sulphates: Calculation of enthalpy,entropy and Gibbs free energy

Joined with measures of specific heat at low temperature , a calorimetric study of alkali sulphates from ordinary temperature to 1500 K has allowed the calculation of enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy of these salts. The value of entropy at melting point is compared with the value assessed by an acoustical method.     

Analyse Conformationnelle en Serie Alcoylidene-5 Dioxanne-1,3

Some 5-alkylidene 2-alkyl 1,3-dioxans have been studied by NMR. Analysis of the spectra leads to the conclusion that these derivatives are predominantly in the chair form, the alkyl substituent on carbon 2 being in the equatorial position. In the case of 5-alkylidene 1,3 dioxans unsubstituted at carbon 2, there is a rapid ring inversion with a very low energy barrier.     

Self-induced generation of an off-axis frequency shifted radiation from atoms

The transient resonant linear response at wavelength λ_a of an N two-level atom vapor driven by a strong pulse with wavelength λ_f = λ_a - |Δλ| is shown to promote an emission of radiation peaked at wavelength λ_c = λ_a + |Δλ| in a conical shell around the propagation axis of the incident beam. In the limit of weak excitation, i.e. for an incident Rabi frequency much smaller than the detuning, the cone angle is found to be equal to 2λμ(2N/ch|Δλ|)^{$\text{1}\text{2}$} where μ is the transition dipole moment.     

Three-dimensional recomposition of the absorption field inside a nonbuoyant sooting flame

A remote scanning retrieval method was developed to investigate the soot layer produced by a laminar diffusion flame established over a flat plate burner in microgravity. Experiments were conducted during parabolic flights. This original application of an inverse problem leads to the three-dimensional recomposition by layers of the absorption field inside the flame. This technique provides a well-defined flame length that substitutes for other subjective definitions associated with emissions.
