Application of the sum peak method to study changes in the K-capture probability to the 1086 keV level and perturbed angular correlation parameters in the decay of152Eu

The sum peak method has been applied to electron capture probability changes to the 1086 keV level in the decay of¹⁵²Eu in the different environments, e.g. ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). An attempt is also made to determine the effect of chemical environment on the directional correlation coefficient of the 1409–122 keV - cascade in¹⁵²Eu ¹⁵²Sm decay. A change of G₂₂ is found in the different chemical forms.     

Conductance studies in amide-water mixtures. II. Sodium salts inN,N-dimethylformamide-water mixtures at 35°C

Conductance data for sodium nitrite, chloride, and acetate in water andN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-water mixtures (74.82D42.48) for the concentration range 0.001–0.04N, as well as the densities, viscosities, and dielectric constants of the solvent mixtures at 35°C, are reported. The data have been analyzed by the Fuoss (1975) equation. The existence of a maximum in the viscosity at a 13 mole ratio of DMF and water is indicated. The Walden products for all the three salts pass through a maximum while the equivalent conductances show a minimum with increasing DMF content. The maxima in the Walden product are attributed to the dehydration of ions by the cosolvent (DMF).Part I:Indian J. Chem. 14A, 1015 (1976).Deceased.     

Diphenylcarbazone as a sensitive reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of iridium(IV)

Summary The blue iridium(IV)-diphenylcarbazone complex, formed by heating the solutions in boiling water bath for 45 minutes, having an absorption maximum at 550 nm with maximum molar absorptivity of 1.90·10⁴l·cm^–1·mole^–1 (within 1.5 %) is recommended for the spectrophotometric determination of 40–240g iridium(IV) in 25–60 % ethanol medium. The complex formed in solutions at pH 3.5–7.0, after formation, is stable within the pH range 2.5 to 9.2. The effect of foreign ions has been investigated.

Zusammenfassung Der blaue Iridium(IV)-diphenylcarbazon-Komplex entsteht beim Erwärmen der beiden Lösungen im siedenden Wasserbad für 45 Min. Er hat ein Absorptionsmaximum bei 550 nm und eine molare Extinktion von 1,90 × 10⁴ l·cm^–1·mole^–1. Diese Farbreaktion wird zur spektrophotometrischen Bestimmung von 40–240g Ir(IV) in 25-bis 60%igem Äthanol empfohlen. Der bei pH 3,5–7,0 entstandene Komplex ist zwischen pH 2,5 und 9,2 beständig. Der Einfluß von Fremdionen wurde untersucht.

     

Generalized mean-square amplitudes of vibration in some XY4 type ions (II)

The generalized mean-square amplitudes of vibration and mean amplitudes of vibration have been computed for CrO^3-₄, Mn¹⁸O^-₄, MoSe^2-₄ and WSe^2-₄ ions at three temperatures, T = 0°K, T = 298°K, T = 500°K, employing Cyvin's method. The results have been discussed in the light of atomic weight and electronegativity of the atom in the ionic system.     

Production of helium fragments in197Au-emulsion collisions at 10.6 A GeV

We present a systematic analysis on the helium projectile fragments produced from 10.6 A GeV¹⁹⁷Auemulsion interactions in an experiment conducted at the Brookhaven AGS. Total charge changing and partial production cross-sections are measured experimentally on the basis of helium multiplicity. The multiplicity distribution of helium fragments which are produced collectively obey a KNO scaling. The transverse momentum distribution of these particles indicates that they are produced from two different independent sources.We are thankful to the BNL technical staff and specially to Dr. D. Beavis for his help in the exposure of emulsion stacks. Thanks are due to Profs. Y. Takahashi and G. Romano for their help in the preparation and development of the emulsion stacks. We appreciate the discussions with Prof. H. Stocker and J. Aichelin. This work was supported by D.O.E. under Grant No. DE-FGO2-90ER 40566.
