The experimental structure of199Au and the interacting boson-fermion model

Gamma rays of¹⁹⁹Au obtained after double neutron capture in¹⁹⁷Au were measured at the ILL high flux reactor. A level scheme up to 1770 keV excitation energy is established. The result is compared with IBFM and Boson-Fermion-Symmetry calculations.     

Nodal surfaces of Fourier series: Fundamental invariants of structured matter

Periodic Nodal Surfaces (PNS) of Fourier series are derived and classified as fundamental invariants of structured matter. Relationships to periodic minimal surfaces PMS and to periodic zero potential surfaces (POPS) are given. A basic set of cubic PNS is represented in arithmetic form. The special importance of the invariance of the zeros to the type of the potential is stressed.     

Ein Verfahren zur Synthese enantiomerenreiner Alkanole durch reduktive Entschwefelung von Thiophenalkoholen

Summary Acetals3 and4 of alkylthienylcarbinols1 were prepared using an enantiomerically pure lactol2. In the key step these compounds were desulfurized. After deprotection the target compounds7 andent-7 were obtained.

Self-energy of one electron in non-relativistic QED

We investigate the self-energy of one electron coupled to a quantized radiation field by extending the ideas developed in Hainzl (Ann. H. Poincaré, in press). We fix an arbitrary cut-off parameter Λ and recover the α²-term of the self-energy, where α is the coupling parameter representing the fine structure constant. Thereby we develop a method which allows to expand the self-energy up to any power of α. This implies that perturbation theory in α is correct if Λ is fix. As an immediate consequence we obtain enhanced binding for electrons.
