ON THE BEHAVIOR OF PHASE TRANSITION SHOWN IN DISASSYMBLY PROCESSES OF VERY HOT AND DILUTE FINITE NUCLEAR SYSTEMS

The behaviors of phase transition shown in disassymbly processes of very hot and dilute finite nuclear system have been exposed by using canonical (microcanonical) ensemble Monte Carlo simulation.It is explained that they result from the competition between Coulomb interaction and the effect of finiteness.

Mössbauer effect study of the MnxZnyNizFe2O4

A⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer effect study of the triangular Mn_xZn_yNi_zFe₂O₄ system at 78 K has been undertaken. The mean values of the hyperfine magnetic field, the values of standard deviations and the asymmetry parameters have been derived from the distribution diagrams of the hyperfine magnetic field. The dilution process affects only slightly the A-site hyperfine field but it is responsible for a wide distribution of the B-site field. For the highly diluted samples, relaxation processes play an important role. The results of Mössbauer effect investigations can be understood in terms of the lack of the Zn₂₊-O-Fe₃₊ magnetic coupling and the weaker Mn₂₊-O-Fe₃₊ and Ni₂₊-O-Fe₃₊ superexchange interactions as compared to the Fe₃₊-O-Fe₃₊ interactions.     

Influence of chemical composition on the hot tearing formation of cast steel

Hot tears initiate under stress and strain, when the solid crystals are partially separated by the liquid film. At this stage, the overall strength of the hot spot of the casting is very low. The tendency of alloys to hot tearing depends on the temperature range in which the cracks can initiate. It has been assumed, that process of the cracks formation starts at the temperature of grains interlocking. The change of the length and chemical composition of liquid film separating the grains during solidification have been studied, using the simulation model for the growth of equiaxed grains. Mechanical properties of samples of the different cast steels in the solidification range, have been tested to define the lowest temperature of the hot tearing. Thus, for each chemical composition of the tested steel the range of brittleness could be calculated. The fractured surfaces were examined using Kevex X-ray analyzer coupled with scanning microscope. It was found that the examined regions were, at least partly, covered by the liquid phase rich in sulfur.     

TDDFT Study on the Electronic Excitations and First Hyperpolarizabilities of Mixed-metal Carbonyl Clusters W2Ir2（μ-L）（CO）8（η^5-C5H4Me）2（L = dppe/dppf）

Mixed-metal carbonyl clusters of W2Ir2（CO）10（η^5-C5H4Me）2 1 and W2Ir2（μ-L）（CO）8（η^5-C5H4Me）2 （L = dppe 2, dppf 3） have been studied by TDDFT method focusing on their electronic and nonlinear optical properties. These three clusters exhibit the first static hyperpolarizabilities of medium magnitude （βtot-10×10^-30 esu）. The origin of β is discussed by the new proposed orbital-pair decomposition scheme by Barandes et al. The result suggests that the β values of the two clusters are mainly originated from d-d electron transition within the metal skeleton, and d-p （π＊） electron transition from metals to carbonyls and phenyl. The additional coordination by the electron donor group, ferrocene, makes cluster 3 own much larger β values, and the relatively longer range charge transfer from d orbitals of ferrocene to d orbirals of Ir and W is responsible for the enhanced β values.     

Free transverse vibration analysis of a toothed gear

Analysis of transverse vibration of the gear found in a high-speed gearbox considered as an annular plate reflecting gear geometry is the subject of this paper. How gear angular velocity affects the deformation of normal modes of transverse vibration of the system under consideration is analysed. Models considered were discretized by the finite elements method. Numerical computations have been performed in the ANSYS environment. The algorithm to identify the proper distorted mode shapes is presented. The Campbell diagram for the system under consideration is elaborated. The problems discussed here can be useful for engineers dealing with dynamics of rotating machine systems.     

Recent Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis in the Determination of Active Compounds in Medicinal Plants and Pharmaceutical Formulations

The present review summarizes scientific reports from between 2010 and 2019 on the use of capillary electrophoresis to quantify active constituents (i.e., phenolic compounds, coumarins, protoberberines, curcuminoids, iridoid glycosides, alkaloids, triterpene acids) in medicinal plants and herbal formulations. The present literature review is founded on PRISMA guidelines and selection criteria were formulated on the basis of PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study type). The scrutiny reveals capillary electrophoresis with ultraviolet detection as the most frequently used capillary electromigration technique for the selective separation and quantification of bioactive compounds. For the purpose of improvement of resolution and sensitivity, other detection methods are used (including mass spectrometry), modifiers to the background electrolyte are introduced and different extraction as well as pre-concentration techniques are employed. In conclusion, capillary electrophoresis is a powerful tool and for given applications it is comparable to high performance liquid chromatography. Short time of execution, high efficiency, versatility in separation modes and low consumption of solvents and sample make capillary electrophoresis an attractive and eco-friendly alternative to more expensive methods for the quality control of drugs or raw plant material without any relevant decrease in sensitivity.     

Structural characteristics of different types of nanoparticles synthesised in mesomorphic metal alkanoates

The class of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals (LCs) of the metal alkanoates possesses a number of unique properties, such as intrinsic ionic conductivity, high dissolving ability and ability to form time-stable mesomorphic glasses. These ionic LCs can be used as nanoreactors for the synthesis and stabilisation of different types of nanoparticles (NPs). Thus, some semiconductors, metals and core/shell NPs were chemically synthesised in the thermotropic ionic liquid crystalline phase (smectic A) of the cadmium octanoate (CdC₈) and of the cobalt octanoate (CoC₈). By applying the scanning electron microscopy, the cadmium and cobalt octanoate composites containing CdS, Au, Ag and core/shell Au/CdS NPs have been studied. NPs’ sizes and dispersion distribution of the NPs’ size in the nanocomposites have been obtained.
