Structural study of methyl 2,6-diphenyl-N-methyl-4-oxopiperidine-3,5-dicarboxylate enolic forms

The methyl 2,6-diphenyl-1-methyl-4-oxopiperidine-3,5-dicarboxylates 1 were synthesized by the Mannich procedure from methyl 3-oxoglutarate, benzaldehyde and methylamine. Keto-enol tautomerism as well as configurational isomerism at C-2 were observed. The stereochemistry of the Ib and Ic enolic forms were determined by ¹H and ¹³C nmr data.     

Investigation of the photothermally modulated ferromagnetic resonance signal from magnetostatic modes in yttrium iron garnet films

The conventional and photothermally modulated (PM) ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of magnetostatic modes (MSM) in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films have been investigated as a function of temperature. Approaching the ferrimagnetic transition at T _c=560 K a strong enhancement of the PM-FMR signal amplitude is observed which is accompanied by a change of the signal shape. The observations are discussed in the framework of a model that takes into account the temperature derivatives of those quantities that contribute to the high-frequency susceptibility. At temperatures still below T _c a paramagnetic line emerges. The MSM disappear in a state of finite magnetization which is explained on the basis of damping of the MSM being important in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transition. Additionally, frequency and power dependent measurements are presented and the imaging ability of PM-FMR is demonstrated.

Approximate sine-Gordon solitons

We look at the recently proposed scheme of approximating a sine-Gordon soliton by an expression derived from two dimensional instantons. We point out that the scheme of Sutcliffe in which he uses two dimensional instantons can be generalised to higher dimensions and that these generalisations produce even better approximations than the original approximation. We also comment on generalisations to other models.     

Time-marching numerical schemes for the electric field integral equation on a straight thin wire

We derive and analyse four algorithms for computing the current induced on a thin straight wire by a transient electric field. They all involve solving the thin wire electric field integral equations (EFIEs) and consist of a very accurate differential equations solver together with various schemes to approximate the vector potential integral equation. We carry out a rigorous numerical stability analysis of each of these methods. This has not previously been done for solution schemes for the thin wire EFIEs. Each scheme is shown to be stable and convergent provided the radius of the wire is small enough for the thin wire equations to be a valid model.     

Molecular addressing? Studies on light-induced reorientation in liquid-crystalline side chain polymers

Polarized light leads to an effective reorientation of the optic axis in the glassy state of liquid-crystalline side chain polymers containing azobenzene mesogenic groups, via a trans-cis and cis-trans isomerization. Using a combination of U V and IR dichroitic studies it is shown for copolymers consisting of chromophores (azobenzene) and non-chromophores (phenylbenzoate) that only the chromophores are reoriented by light as far as the glassy state is concerned. Individual chromophores are thus addressed by photoselection. Photoselection in the fluid nematic state, on the other hand, leads also to a reorientation of the non-chromophores.     

A shock tube study of the reaction of methyl radicals with hydroxyl radicals

The reaction of CH₃ with OH has been studied near 1200 K and 1 atmosphere pressure in shock tube experiments in which UV absorption was used to monitor [OH]. A rate coefficient of (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10¹³ cm³/mol-s was measured for removal of OH by CH₃. This measured value is compared with previous experimental data and calculations. Several possible reaction channels are discussed, and although products were not monitored, it seems probable, on the basis of other work and theoretical estimates, that the primary mechanism (?75%) for the removal of OH by CH₃ at these conditions is their combination to form CH₃OH. Rate coefficients of (5.3 ± 0.8) × 10¹² and (9.0 ± 1.4) × 10¹² cm³/mol-s were measured for the reactions of OH with acetone and ethane, respectively, at the same temperature and pressure.     

Inclusive (γ, N), (γ, NN) and (γ, Nπ) reactions in nuclei at intermediate energies

Differential cross sections of nucleons excited in photonuclear reactions in medium and heavy nuclei are studied by considering all relevant reaction mechanisms leading to the excitation of protons or neutrons. We take advantage of previous microscopic studies for the absorption and scattering of photons and photoproduced pions, and implement a simulation code in order to take into account the propagation of the nucleons as well as their collisions with other nucleons in the nuclear medium, which generate secondary excited nucleons. Comparison with experimental data is done. Cross sections for nucleon emission in coincidence with one pion are also calculated, and some coincidence observables are discussed.
