The nitrogen pentoxide dissociation equilibrium

The third-law method is used to assess the authenticity of available equilibrium constants for the thermal dissociation of N₂O₅ ? NO₂ + NO₃. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Temperature-dependent behavior of birefringence and rotation of the optical indicatrix in crystals of deuterated triglycinesulfate

On the basis of a complex null-polarimetric method, the natural birefringence and the rotation of the optical indicatrix in crystals of deuterated triglycinesulfate are measured in the temperature range of 300–340 K. The temperature-dependent behavior of the optical parameters is shown to be close to that observed previously in triglycinesulfate crystals. Changes in them upon the ferroelectric phase transition can be accounted for by the spontaneous quadratic electro-optic effect, with the values of the electro-optic coefficients being larger by a factor of 1.4 than in triglycinesulfate crystals.     

Transformations of cobalt trimethylacetate complexes with pyrazole upon oxidation by air in THF

Synthetic routes to oxidation of cobalt atoms in cobalt trimethylacetate complexes containing coordinated pyrazole molecules have been considered.     

Asymptotics of a multiple Cauchy integral with rapidly oscillating exponential

An asymptotic expansion uniform with respect to a parameter is obtained for a multiple Cauchy integral with a rapidly oscillating exponential in the integrand under the assumption that the singularity lines are in a general position.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 58, No. 2, pp. 231–242, August, 1995.The work was financially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant No. 94-01-00193-a.     

Band structures in73Se

Excited states of⁷³Se have been investigated up to spin, 21/2 using techniques of in-beamγ-ray spectroscopy in connection with the⁷⁰Ge(α, n) reaction. Mean lifetimes of 12 levels have been determined applying Doppler-shift andγ-RF-methods. Five different bands have been identified that reflect a variety of different excitation modes. The decoupled 9/2⁺ band is likely to correspond to an oblate deformation while the 5/2⁺ band is interpreted as a strongly coupled prolate band built on the Nilsson configuration [422] 5/2⁺. The 3/2^? band is a strongly coupled band built on the [301] 3/2^} configuration.Nuclear reactions:⁷⁰Ge(α,n),E=14, 16, 18, 19, 20MeV; measuredE _γ,I _γ,σ(E _γ,θ),γγ-coin, linear polarization, DSA,γ(t).⁷⁵Se deduced levels,I, π, τ, δ(E2/M1), B(σλ).
