Mössbauer and PAC studies of nanocrystalline Fe

High-purity Fe powder was mechanically milled under argon at ambient temperature using an SPEX 8000 mill. The local atomic and magnetic structure was studied using⁵⁷Co/Fe Mössbauer and¹¹¹In/Cd perturbed angular correlations (PAC) spectroscopies. After 32 hours of milling, X-ray diffraction revealed effective grain diameters of 18 nm and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis indicated a Cr impurity concentration of 5%, presumably introduced by mechanical attrition of steel ball bearings used for milling. In addition to a spectral component very similar to bulk iron metal, the Mössbauer spectra exhibited hyperfine field shifts attributed to the Cr impurities. PAC spectra on Fe milled for 5 h, with no contamination, exhibited two components: (1) A slightly broadened magnetic interaction attributed to interior, defect-free sites of In/Cd probes with a mean hyperfine field slightly greater than in macroscopic grains. The defect-free site fraction grew appreciably during milling, even though In is essentially insoluble in Fe. (2) An indistinct signal due to mixed magnetic and quadrupole interactions attributed to probes at surface or other defect sites.     

Tandem (quadrupole-time-of-flight) electrospray mass spectrometry of oligo(vinyl acetates) with isopropylol or (1-hydroxyethyl)-2-oxyisopropanyl end groups

Poly(vinyl acetates) with either isopropylol or (1-hydroxyethyl)-2-oxyisopropanyl end groups were analysed by tandem mass spectrometry using a quadrupole-time-of-flight (Q-TOF) instrument. Random scission along the polymer backbone was not observed. Instead the initial scissions were derived from the cleavage of end-group species. The resultant macrocations were subject to further elimination reactions that eventually produced polyene macrocations. A smaller fraction of the initial macrocations also reacted by loss of ketene and this reaction produced macrocations containing vinyl alcohol units.

Preparation and spectroscopic properties of 2-benzothiazolyl araldehyde hydrazones

Notwithstanding its tendency toward air oxidation in solution, 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole I reacted with aromatic aldehydes in ethanol to give the corresponding hydrazones III-XV in high yields and analytical purity. In related examples, acylation took place under similar conditions to produce hydrazides XVI-XX . The near-infrared bands of the absorption spectra of the araldehyde hydrazones have been associated with charge transfer and appeared to correlate with structural elements of the compounds in a way suggesting that the charge transfer was intermolecular.     

Mass spectrometry of hop compounds—III. Mass spectra of substituted 1,3-cyclopentanediones derived from hop constituents

The mass spectra of isohumulones (IV, V), tetrahydroisocohumulones (VI, VII), tetrahydroisohumulones (VIII) neohydroisocohumulones (XI, XII) cohumulinic acid (III), lupuloxinic acid (XV), humulinone (XIV) and related compounds are described. Ions which appear to be diagnostic for particular structures are discussed.     

The ab initio neglect of differential diatomic overlap method

The ab initio Neglect of Differential Diatomic Overlap (N.D.D.O.) method of Roby is tested numerically for an extensive series of molecules. Agreement with the full ab initio molecular orbital method is poor. Total energies are more negative and dipole moments are overestimated. The failings of the N.D.D.O. method are accounted for using multipole-multipole expansions.

Electrophoresis of Spherical Particles with a Random Distribution of Zeta Potential or Surface Charge

Electrophoresis is often used to measure the "average" zeta (zeta) potential on particles. However, it has been found by previous researchers that in making predictions of colloidal forces and stability, the distribution of zeta potential on the particles is important. This paper provides a straightforward method for measuring charge nonuniformity on colloidal spheres. It is shown that if the charge or zeta potential is random on a group of spheres, each covered with N equal-area patches, then the average magnitude of the dipole moment on the spheres is 0.92sigma(zeta)/N, and the average magnitude of the quadrupole moment is 1.302sigma(zeta)/N, where sigma(zeta) is the standard deviation of zeta potential over the surface of individual spheres. This is true for any random distribution of zeta potential, and the results emphasize that "random" implies nonuniform. It is demonstrated that since typical translational mobility measurements are much less sensitive to random charge nonuniformity than rotational mobility measurements, the latter measurement is better suited for measuring the second moment (sigma(zeta)) of zeta potential. Monte Carlo simulations were done to confirm and extend the analytical results. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
