Vibrational Spectra and Steric Hindrance in Trichlorophospkazoperchloroalkyl Molecules

Abstract

Recently the IR spectra of trichlorophosphazoperhaloalkyls, CI_3P[dbnd]NR_Hal, were studied,¹and the position of P[dbnd]N frequencies in the range of 1300-1500cm^?1 and those of C-N within the range of 900-1000cm^?1 were found to depend to a great extent upon the nature of the groups attached to the nitrogen atom.     

Infra-Red Spectra of the Nitrogen-15 Labelled Triphosphonitrilic Chloride

Although the vibrational spectra of triphosphonitrilic chloride, (PNCl₂)₃ (1), have been studied by numerous investigators^1–8, there is no general agreement about the frequency of completely inactive A₂ ring vibration. Besides, assignment of some overtones and combination bands is doubtful.     

Longitudinal structures in the near field of a plane wall jet

In the present study, the flow field near the orifice of a plane wall jet is in focus. Two main flow regions may be distinguished in the wall jet, i. e., a free shear layer away from the wall and a boundary layer close to the surface. In both of these layers, streamwise coherent structures are detected by means of smoke visualization and hot-wire measurements. The structures, which occur naturally, have different spanwise scales and emerge at different distance from the nozzle. Effects of the flow velocity, upstream perturbations, and acoustic excitation on the generation and characteristics of the streamwise disturbances are investigated, and especially the interaction between the two layers is studied. In order to resolve the complex 3D flow by means of hotwires a system for accurate automated traversing and data acquisition has been developed. In each flow case time-dependent measurements were taken in (X, Y, Z) space of about 3000 to 25,000 points, and it was found that the value of outlet velocity and the frequency of Kelvin — Helmholtz rolls have a clear influence on the size of the structures. Higher outlet velocities and higher frequencies of triggered two-dimensional roll-ups lead to a decrease in the size of longitudinal structures.     

Radiation Characteristics of Air in the Ultraviolet and Vacuum Ultraviolet Regions of the Spectrum behind the Front of Strong Shock Waves

Experiments on the measurement of air emission intensity behind the front of incident shock wave were carried out in a shock tube at an initial pressure of 0.25 Torr and shock wave velocities of 6.3–8.4 km/s. The emission intensity was measured in absolute units both in the form of an integral spectral distribution in a wavelength range of 120?400 nm (panoramic spectra) and as the time evolution of emission at the individual atomic lines of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. The results of the measurements demonstrated that the emission in air behind a shock wave in the vacuum ultraviolet region of 120–200 nm had a much higher radiation flux level than the emission in a range of 200–900 nm.     

Bulk and Surface Quenching of Structural Steel: Morphological Analysis of the Structure

Structures formed in medium-carbon low-alloy steels during bulk quenching from furnace heating and surface quenching initiated by a low-power high-current electron beam are investigated by the methods of diffraction electron microscopy. The influence of the carbon concentration, initial austenite grain size, and cooling rate on the morphology of martensitic crystals and self-tempered carbide particles, long-range stress fields inside a packet and plates, and their dislocation substructure is analyzed. The temperature intervals for the formation of high-temperature plate martensitic crystals and packet (lath) martensite are estimated. It is demonstrated that the structure formed at ultrahigh heating and cooling rates is determined mostly by the morphology of martensite in the initial steel samples.     

Manifestation of the nuclear anapole moment in the thallium M1 transitions

We calculate the nuclear spin-dependent parity-nonconserving E1 amplitudes for the optical transition 6p _{1/2, F} →6p _{3/2, F′} and hyperfine transition 6p _{1/2, F} →6p _{1/2, F′} in ²⁰⁵Tl. The experimental limit placed upon the former amplitude by Vetter et al. [PRL 74, 2658 (1995)] corresponds to the anapole moment constant κ_a=?0.26±0.27.     

Fractal description of significant nano-effects in polymer composites with nanosized fillers. Aggregation,phase interaction,and reinforcement

The paper analyzes experimental data obtained on physical and mechanical properties of nanostructured particle-reinforced composites with elastomer matrices and nano- and microsized carbon-containing particles by scanning probe microscopy and nanoindentation with specialized 3D computer processing. The nano-effects observed in the elastomer matrices are described using the fractal approach. A fractal model of nanoparticle aggregation in a polymer matrix is proposed. Phase interactions in the nanostructured polymer materials are described and fractal relations that predict the reinforcing effect of this type of media are presented. It is shown that interphase regions in the nanostructured composites are the same reinforcing elements as a nanofiller for the medium. It is found that reinforcement of elastomer composites by nanosized particles is a true nano-effect.     

Growth and Study of Scintillation Properties of Orthovanadate Crystals Ca:GdVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> and Ca:YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>

New scintillation orthovanadate crystals Ca:GdVO₄ and Ca:YVO₄ featuring intrinsic luminescence are grown. The spectra of pulsed cathodoluminescence of new scintillators and their luminescence decay time are studied. Using γ-rays with an energy of 662 keV from the ¹³⁷Cs source, total absorption spectra (so-called photopeaks) for new orthovanadate crystals are measured. It is shown that the light yield of Ca:YVO₄ and Ca:GdVO₄ crystals is 28100 photon/MeV and 14000 photon/MeV, respectively.     

Intramolecular charge transfer and formation of luminescence centers of 4-nitro-4-dimethylaminobutadiene in binary solvents

Absorption and luminescence spectra of a 4-nitro-4-dimethylaminobutadiene molecule in binary solvents have been experimentally obtained and investigated. Formation of the absorption spectra is associated with a chromophore grouping of the molecule in a bent state, while the bathochromic shift of the band in the absorption spectrum is consistent with the theory of dipole-dipole interaction of a bipolar molecule with solvent molecules. The fluorescence spectrum and its form and bathochromic shift depend not only on the solvent polarity but also on the proportion and kind of binary mixture of solvents. For a certain proportion of the binary solvent, radiation has been generated at λ=610 nm in pumping by a nitrogen laser.

Laser-induced gratings in the gas phase excited by Raman-active transitions

We report on a new time-resolved coherent Raman technique that is based on the generation of thermal gratings following a population change among molecular levels that is induced by stimulated Raman pumping. This is achieved by use of spatially and temporally overlapping intensity interference patterns generated independently by two lasers. When this technique is used in carbon dioxide, making use of transitions that belong to the Q branches of the v(1)/2v Fermi dyad, it is possible to investigate molecular energy transfer processes. A further unique feature of this method is spectral resolution that is better than that achieved by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
