Molar extinction coefficients of some carbohydrates in aqueous solutions

Molar extinction coefficients of some carbohydrates viz. l-arabinose (C₅H₁₀O₅), d-glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), d-mannose (C₆H₁₂O₆), d-galactose (C₆H₁₂O₆), d(-) fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and maltose (C₁₂H₂₄O₁₂) in aqueous solutions have been determined at 81, 356, 511, 662, 1173 and 1332 keV by gamma ray transmission method in a narrow beam good geometry set-up. These coefficients have been found to depend upon the photon energy following a 4-parameter polynomial. These extinction coefficients for different sugars having the same molecular formula have same values varying within experimental uncertainty. Within concentration ranges studied, Beer-Lambert law is obeyed very well.     

Silver-tracer diffusion in Cu2O

The diffusion of¹¹⁰Ag in Cu₂O has been measured by a serial-sectioning technique as a function of temperature (700–1132°C) and oxygen partial pressure (6 × 10^?6 ?8 × 10^?2 atm). The data are fit to the defect model for Cu₂O developed by the authors in the preceding paper. Silver ions have a larger impurity-vacancy binding free energy and/or a larger jump frequency for the singly charged cation vacancies relative to that for the neutral cation vacancies. The activation enthalpies for the diffusion of copper and silver ions in Cu₂O are nearly equal, but the absolute value of D¹_Ag is about three times larger than D¹_Cu even though the silver ion is 31% larger than the copper ion.     

Diffusion and correlation effects in iron-doped CoO

The diffusion of ⁵⁹Fe and ⁶⁰Co has been measured in pure CoO and dilute iron-doped CoO, (Co_1?cFe_cO, as a function of temperature (1000–1400°C) and oxygen partial pressure P_{o2), (10^?7 ≦ Po2 ≦ 0 21 atm) The enhancement factors for the diffusivities of iron and cobalt are nearly identical, which suggests that the primary cause of the enhancement is the increased concentration of charge-compensating cation vacancies with the addition of iron. The Fe ions dissolved in CoO appear to exist as a mixture of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions, the fraction of iron ions in the three-plus state decreases with decreasing Po2 The simultaneous diffusion of ⁵²Fe and ⁵⁹Fe has been measured as a function of (itpo; at 1200°C The correlation factor for Fe impurity diffusion determined from the isotope-effect measurements is about the same as that for self-diffusion in CoO at high (itPo2} (2 × 10^?3 ≦ p_o2 ≦ 0 21 atm), but increases slightly with decreasing p_O2 Both the enhancement-effect and isotope-effect experiments suggest that the nearestneighbor interactions between Fe ions and vacancies is small, and that the dissolved Fe ions do not have strongly bound electron holes.

A new upper limit for the branching ratio for the decay η → π0e+e−

We have looked for the decay η → π⁰e⁺e^? in an optical spark chamber experiment at the Rutherford Laboratory. Our observations are consistent with no events being seen and give an upper limit rate (η → π⁰e⁺e^?)/ rate (η → all) < 4.5 × 10^?5 (90% C.L.).     

A measurement of the electromagnetic form factor of the eta meson and of the branching ratio for the eta Dalitz decay

In an optical spark chamber experiment we have obtained a sample of 80 eta Dalitz decays (η → e⁺e^?γ) and have measured the eta electromagnetic form factor to be F(X) = 1.0?(0.22 ±0.45)X, where X=M_ee²/M_η², and the branching ratio (η→e⁺e^?γ/(η→π⁺π^?π⁰)= (0.0082 ± 0.0020).     

Isoscalar excitations of7Li

Inelastic scattering of 35 MeV alpha particles from⁷Li was used to induce the five known inelastic excitations. A collective coupled channel analysis yielded deformations for each transition and isoscalar quadrupole reduced transition rates were determined for each. The strong-coupling rotational model was found to agree closely with the results for the states associated with the ground state band, but the higher states are excited mainly by a two-step mechanism.
