Zusammenfassung Die Hydrosole des röntgenamorphen Eisen (III)-hydroxids und seines Polymerysationsprodukts katalysieren in einer Reaktion I. Ordnung mit verschiedener Geschwindigkeit den H₂O₂-Zerfall, der bei 27° und 37° untersucht wurde. Auch die daraus berechneten Aktivierungsenergien ergaben differente Werte.     

Bildung von Silberferriten aus Silberoxid- und Eisen(III)-hydroxid-Gelen in wäßrigem Medium

Crystalline silver ferrites can be formed, without any presence of NaOH solution, and even at room temperature by simple mixing of the moist gels of Ag₂O and Fe^III hydroxide. Even the dried gel of the latter reacts, although more slowly.

Metalloxide mit großer Oberfläche durch Tieftemperatur-Vorbehandlung ihrer Stammprodukte

Zusammenfassung Basisches Magnesiumcarbonat und basisches Zinkcarbonat erlangen nach Tieftemperaturbehandlung mit flüssiger Luft eine bedeutend größere Oberfläche, die auch bei den betr. oxidischen Abkömmlingen nach ihrer thermischen Beanspruchung bei 800° bestehen bleibt. Ebenfalls tieftemperatur-empfindlich ist das dunkelbraune röntgenamorphe Eisen(III)-hydroxid (Orthohydroxid), während das topochemische röntgenamorphe und ziegelfarbige Eisen(III)-hydroxid (Iso-Orthohydroxid) sowie ein daraus gewonnenes hellgelbes -FeOOH, die schon von sich aus oberflächengroß sind, sich in dieser Hinsicht als indifferent erwiesen. Die aus den verschiedenen Eisen(III)-hydroxiden bei 800° gewonnenen -Oxide hatten eine sehr differente scheinbare Dichte bzw. Oberfläche.     

Excitation functions of the analyzing power in elastic proton-proton scattering from 0.45 to 2.5 GeV

Excitation functions A_N(p_lab,_c.m.) of the analyzing power in elastic proton-proton scattering have been measured in an internal target experiment at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY with an unpolarized proton beam and a polarized atomic hydrogen target. Data were taken continuously during the acceleration and deceleration for proton kinetic energies T_lab (momenta p_lab) between 0.45 and 2.5 GeV (1.0 and 3.3 GeV/c) and scattering angles 30 ^° _c.m. 90^°. The results provide excitation functions and angular distributions of high precision and internal consistency. The data can be used as calibration standard between 0.45 and 2.5 GeV. They have significant impact on phase shift solutions, in particular on the spin triplet phase shifts between 1.0 and 1.8 GeV.     

Energy transfer in the nanostar: the role of coulombic coupling and dynamics

We present a theoretical investigation of energy transfer in the phenylene ethynelene dendrimer known as the nanostar. Data from extensive molecular dynamics simulations are used to model the dynamical effects caused by torsional motion of the phenyl groups. We compare rate constants for energy transfer between the two-ring chromophore and the three-ring chromophore obtained via the F?rster model, the ideal dipole approximation (IDA), and the transition density cube (TDC) method, which has as its limit an exact representation of the Coulombic coupling. We find that the rate constants obtained with the TDC are extremely sensitive to the phenyl group rotation, whereas the constants computed with the F?rster model and the IDA are not. The implications of these results for the interpretation of recent pump-probe experiments on the nanostar are discussed in detail. Finally, we predict the temperature dependence of the rate constant for energy transfer.     

Limit on the electron electric dipole moment in gadolinium-iron garnet

A new method for the detection of the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) using a solid is described. The method involves the measurement of a voltage induced across the solid by the alignment of the sample's magnetic dipoles in an applied magnetic field, H. A first application of the method to GdIG has resulted in a limit on the electron EDM of 5 x 10(-24)e cm, which is a factor of 40 below the limit obtained from the only previous solid-state EDM experiment. The result is limited by the imperfect discrimination of an unexpectedly large voltage that is even upon the reversal of the sample magnetization.     

Development of an optical trap for microparticle clouds in dilute gases

Long-duration experiments with clouds of microparticles are planned for the ICAPS facility on board the International Space Station ISS. The scientific objectives of such experiments are widespread and are ranging from the simulation of aerosol behaviour in Earths atmosphere to the formation of planets in the early solar system. It is, however, even under microgravity conditions, impossible to sustain a cloud of free-floating, microscopic particles for an extended period of time, due to thermal diffusion and due to unavoidable external accelerations. Therefore, a trap for dust clouds is required which prevents the diffusion of the particles, which provides a source of relative velocities between the dust grains and which can also concentrate the dust to higher number densities that are otherwise not achievable. We are planning to use the photophoretic effect for such a particle trap. First short-duration microgravity experiments on the photophoretic motion of microscopic particles show that such an optical particle-cloud trap is feasible. First tests of a two-dimensional trap were performed in the Bremen drop tower.
