When energetic ions penetrate into a crystal in a channeling condition, they travel across a periodic array of the atomic strings or ordered planes. These ions feel an oscillating field in the projectile frame. If the energy corresponding to this frequency matches with the transition energy of the electronic states of the ions, the ions have a chance to be excited. It is called Resonant Coherent Excitation (RCE). We have succeeded in observing resonant excitation of 1s electron to the n=2 states in H-like...

Détermination du comportement macroscopique d'un milieu à fissures frottantesDetermination of the macroscopic behavior of a medium with frictional cracks

A micromechanical modeling of closed cracks as flat ellipsoidal inhomogeneities has been recently proposed in [Deudé et al., C. R. Mecanique 330 (2002) 589–599]. The present Note extends this approach to the case of a frictional contact between the crack lips. For von Mises friction, a linear hardening is obtained at the macroscopic scale, the state equation in terms of stress and strain rates being identical to that derived for unfrictional cracks. For Drucker–Prager friction, the micromechanical approach predicts a macroscopic dilatant behavior. To cite this article: J.-F. Barthélémy et al., C. R. Mecanique 331 (2003).     

Nature of mechanoradical formation and reactivity with oxygen in methacrylic vinyl polymers

The formation of mechanoradicals under anaerobic conditions and their reactivity with oxygen at room temperature is described for several methacrylic vinyl polymers. Observed electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of the mechanoradicals formed were all essentially identical and are clearly assigned to a respective endchain radical. The ESR kinetics of the mechanoradical formation of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and polymethacrylamide (PMAAm) exhibit an interesting contrast; the progressive changes in the radical concentration in PMMA as a function of duration of milling gradually decrease after reaching a maximum value, while those of PMAAm show a parabolic increase. This discrepancy has been ascribed to mechanoradicals of PMAAm that are strongly stabilized by intermolecular and intramolecular doubly hydrogen-bonded networks among the amide groups. Such interactions also are to lower the reactivity of the mechanoradicals with oxygen. Thus, the mechanoradicals of both PMAAm and PMAA do not give a single peroxy radical, but rather a mixture of the mechanoradical and peroxy radical even after exposure to air, while the mechanoradicals of other polymers are rapidly converted to the corresponding peroxy radicals. Such a difference was observed in experiments on the mechanical fracture of such polymers under aerobic conditions.     

Phase behaviour of the thermotropic cubic mesogen 1,2-bis(4-n-decyloxybenzoyl)hydrazine under pressure

The phase transition behaviour of an optically isotropic, thermotropic cubic mesogen 1,2-bis(4-n-decyloxybenzoyl)hydrazine, BABH(10), was investigated under pressures up to 300 MPa using a high pressure differential thermal analyser, a wide angle X-ray diffractometer and a polarizing optical microscope (POM) equipped with a high pressure optical cell. The reversible change in structure and optical texture between the cubic (Cub) and smectic C (SmC) phases was associated with a change from a spot-like X-ray pattern and dark field for the Cub phase to the Debye-Sherrer ring pattern and sand-like texture for the SmC phase under both isobaric and isothermal conditions. The Cub phase was found to disappear at pressures above about 11 MPa. The phase transition sequence, low temperature crystal (Cr₃)-intermediate temperature crystal (Cr₂)-high temperature crystal (Cr₁)-Cub-SmC-isotropic liquid (I) observed at atmospheric pressure, is maintained in the low pressure region below 10 MPa. The transition sequence changes to Cr₃-Cr₂-(Cr₁)-SmC-I in the high pressure region. Since the Cub-SmC transition line determined by POM has a negative slope (dT/dP) in the T-P phase diagram, a triple point is estimated approximately at 10-11 MPa, and 143-145°C for the SmC, Cub and Cr₁ phases, giving the upper limit of pressure for the observation of the cubic phase.     

A UV-B resistant polyacylated anthocyanin, HBA, from blue petals of morning glory

Prevention of E,Z-isomerization of caffeoyl residues of a tri-(E)-caffeoyl anthocyanin, heavenly blue anthocyanin (HBA), and its stability under UV-B irradiation conditions were studied. We isolated four photoproducts from irradiated HBA and their structures were determined to be mono- or di-Z-caffeoyl isomers of HBA and mono-deglucosylated HBA. Under such conditions one caffeoyl residue, the innermost one, never isomerized to the Z-form, suggesting that intramolecular stacking must prevent photoisomerization. In general, anthocyanins are considered to be more stable in strong acidic than neutral aqueous media. However, with UV-B irradiation HBA was most stable in aqueous solution at pH 7.5 and most unstable in acidic methanol solutions. It was found to emit strong fluorescence on excitation with UV-B, possibly resulting from intramolecular association of caffeoyl moieties with the anthocyanidin nucleus. The finding that pigment in petals is more tolerant of UV-irradiation may be rational in the context of the necessity to resist strong solar radiation.     

In situ observation of the pressure-induced mesophase for 4'-n-hexadecyloxy-3'-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid

In situ observation of the optical texture, and X-ray patterns of the pressure-induced mesophase seen for 4'-n-hexadecyloxy-3'-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (ANBC-16) was performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 100MPa using a polarizing optical microscope equipped with a high pressure hot stage and a wide angle X-ray diffractometer equipped with a high pressure vessel respectively. It was found that the pressure-induced mesophase (hereafter refered to as 'X') appeared at pressures above 60 MPa, and exhibits a birefringent broken-fan or a sand-like texture that remain unaltered in the SmC phase. The POM-transmitted light intensity curve measured on heating clearly showed the Cr₄ →Cr₁ →SmC →'X' →SmA →I transition sequence at 80 MPa. The optical texture and the POM-transmitted light intensity measured during a pressure cycle at 185°C showed a reversible change between the cubic and 'X' phases. The WAXD pattern of the 'X' phase showed a spot-like pattern, suggesting no layered structure for this phase, and also revealed a substantial decrease in the d-spacing of the low angle reflection at 80 and 100 MPa, compared with the d-spacings of the (0 0 1) reflection of the SmC phase and also the (2 1 1) reflection of the cubic phase. It is concluded from these data that the 'X' phase is a birefringent hexagonal columnar phase.     

Angular intensity distribution of a molecular oxygen beam scattered from a graphite surface

The scattering of the oxygen molecule from a graphite surface has been studied using a molecular beam scattering technique. The angular intensity distributions of scattered oxygen molecules were measured at incident energies from 291 to 614 meV with surface temperatures from 150 to 500 K. Every observed distribution has a single peak at a larger final angle than the specular angle of 45° which indicates that the normal component of the translation energy of the oxygen molecule is lost by the collision with the graphite surface. The amount of the energy loss by the collision has been roughly estimated as about 30-41% based on the assumption of the tangential momentum conservation during the collision. The distributions have also been analyzed with two theoretical models, the hard cubes model and the smooth surface model. These results indicate that the scattering is dominated by a single collision event of the particle with a flat surface having a large effective mass. The derived effective mass of the graphite surface for the incoming oxygen is 9-12 times heavier than that of a single carbon atom, suggesting a large cooperative motion of the carbon atoms in the topmost graphene layer.
