Model calculations of interface segregation in dilute systems

Using a discrete model for the segregation kinetics based on the Darken theory of diffusion and on the regular solution model (RSM), one and two dimensional simulations of interface segregation in binary and ternary systems have been performed. The aim of the calculations was to investigate the kinetics of segregation sequences in ternary systems, the segregation kinetics in discrete systems during the initial phase and finally the kinetics of surface segregation in the region of a grain boundary intersected by the surface.     

Strategies for the development of a voltammetric sensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide at high concentrations

Different strategies are presented for the development of a voltammetric sensor for in-line measurement and monitoring of H₂O₂ in high concentrations (up to 30 g/l) as used in textile bleaching systems. When using macroelectrodes, signal saturation is observed even at medium concentrations. Some improvement can be achieved by hydrodynamic electrodes like ring-disk electrodes. Satisfactory results up to the desired level in practical solutions (possessing only limited conductivity) are obtained with Pt-microelectrodes.     

HPLC with amperometric detection for the determination of pesticides of high polarity

A relatively simple procedure is described for the selective and highly sensitive determination of amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) by ionpair HPLC with amperometric detection. The separation was achieved on a polar CN-column using hexane, propanol, water (62:36:2) with LiClO₄ (2.5 g·l^–1) and trichloroacetic acid (2 g·l^–1) as electrolytes. The determination range lies between 500 pg and 500 ng and the limit of detection was found to be 200 pg (s.d.: 11%; N=9). The minimum detectability for the alternative UV-monitoring was 2.5 ng. The developed method may be helpful in production and quality control and for the selective determination of amitrole in commercial formulations.     

Resonance ionization spectroscopy for trace analysis and fundamental research

Resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) and its combination with mass spectrometry (RIMS) have grown to become powerful techniques, which offer high sensitivity as well as elemental and isotopic selectivity. The principles of RIS and RIMS are introduced; they primarily concern the analysis of the optical spectra for the choice of efficient excitation schemes and the suitable design of the experimental apparatus. Recent applications span from studies of short-lived isotopes at on-line mass separators to a wide variety of trace analysis applications for radioactive isotopes, which can range from measurements of solar neutrino flux to environmental assessment.On leave from Pacific Northwest Laboratory, Richland, USA     

Calibration of depth profiles of microparticles measured with plasma-based secondary neutral mass spectrometry

A gravimetric method is presented for the easy determination of sputter erosion rates for powders, applicable also to non-conducting materials. Measurements of the erosion rates of 22 powders gave an average value of 0.4 nm/s ±50% for bombardment with 400 eV Ar⁺ at 1 mA/cm². The validity of the data has been demonstrated with technical pigments and outdoor aerosol particles.     

ARXPS-analysis and morphology of sputtered nanocrystalline TiC/SiC coatings

ARXPS (angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) measurements are used to obtain informations about surfaces and grain boundaries. Data acquired from nanocrystalline carbidic hard coatings have been employed to establish structural models. Magnetron-sputtered coatings of TiC, SiC and TiC/SiC were examined. In such coatings, partly defective TiC nanocrystallites are surrounded by interfacial carbide. This excess carbon shows a binding state similar to that of doped graphite or fullerenes. X-ray amorphous SiC is found in the residue. On top of sputtered SiC coatings, less oxide and graphite is found as compared to TiC/SiC or TiC coatings.

A semiclassical reactive flux method for the calculation of condensed phase activated rate constants

A semi classical reactive flux algorithm for calculating thermally activated rate constants is presented which is based on a semi-classical transition state theory due to Chapman, Garrett and Miller [J. Chem. Phys. 63 (1975) 2710]. This reactive flux technique, when combined with the semiclassical TST, enables one to describe dynamical recrossings of the transition state on the same footing as tunneling effects. Most importantly, the method is readily applied to nonlinear multidimensional systems over a wide range of temperatures. It will be shown that the method works very well for a variety of existing models.
