General method for the liquid-liquid extraction of molybdenum and its application to neutron activation analysis

Summary The liquid-liquid extraction of Mo(VI) from different acid solutions by zinc diethyldithiocarbamate in chloroform is described. This extractant allows the separation of nanogram to milligram quantities of Mo from even gram quantities of many other elements. The separation of Mo can be made selective by appropriate choice of the composition of the aqueous phase, by back-extraction of Mo and/or the coextracted elements, and by masking Mo with hydrogen peroxide. These techniques were adapted for the determination of Mo in several reference materials by radiochemical neutron activation analysis via ⁹⁹Mo.     

Electrical properties of Si-SiO2 systems after the application of a magnetic field

Weak-signal methods are used to study long-term changes in the electrophysical and photoelectric properties of Si-SiO₂ systems of n- and p-type semiconductors after the action of a steady magnetic field of 10² Oe. It is found that the field electrode can produce regions characterized by the anomalous recombination, migration, and transformation of nonequilibrium charge carriers, leading to a quasi-oscillating change in the recombination activity of the semiconducting system. It is observed that the magnetically induced changes in the system depend on the impurity of composition of the semiconductor. The results obtained are attributed to the decomposition of the growth structures of complexes and subsequent clustering of the decomposition products at elastic stress sinks.

Congruences,equational theories and lattice representations

We survey results concerning the representations of lattices as lattices of congruences and as lattices of equational theories. Recent results and open problems will be mentioned.To László Fuchs on the occasion of his 70th birthday
