Modellrechnungen zum Dendriten-Wachstum in partiell-kristallinen Hochpolymeren

Zusammenfassung Überstrukturen in partiell-kristallinen Thermoplasten liegen oft in Gestalt von Sphärolithen vor. Es wird versucht, ihre Entstehung auf behindertes Dendritenwachstum zurückzuführen. Die durch das Simulationsmodell beschriebenen Strukturen werden mit experimentell beobachteten verglichen.

Superstructures in partial-crystalline thermoplastics often show the shape of spherulites. The reason of this can be a handicapped growth of dendrites. The structures obtained by a simulation model are compared with those obtained by experiments.

Evaluation of ion chromatography for determination of selected ions in geothermal well water

Ion chromatography is evaluated as a technique for the separation and determination of selected anions (fluoride, chloride, bromide, and sulfate) and cations (lithium. sodium, potassium and ammonium) in geothermal well water samples. The results achieved are compared with those obtained by other methods of analysis in a round-robin test.     

Aktivierungsanalytische Sauerstoffbestimmung mit schnellen Reaktorneutronen

Summary Oxygen can be determined by the nuclear reaction ¹⁶O (n, p) ¹⁶N initiated by fast reactor neutrons. The automatic irradiation and counting system which is used in the Munich research reactor for non-destructive oxygen determination is described. The activation by thermal neutrons is suppressed by the installation of a cadmium shield around the pneumatic tube at the irradiation position. Oxygen has been determined in the presence of many elements to find out which elements disturb the oxygen activation analysis.Zusammenfassung Sauerstoff läßt sich aktivierungsanalytisch mit schnellen Reaktorneutronen über die Kernreaktion ¹⁶O (n, p) ¹⁶N bestimmen. Die automatische Bestrahlungs- und Meßanlage, die die Durchführung solcher zerstörungsfreier Sauerstoffanalysen am Forschungsreaktor München erlaubt, wird beschrieben. Die Aktivierung durch thermische Neutronen wurde durch Einbau eines Cadmiumschildes am Bestrahlungsort unterdrückt. Sauerstoffanalysen wurden in Gegenwart zahlreicher Matrixelemente durchgeführt, um zu ermitteln, welche Elemente die aktivierungsanalytische Sauerstoffbestimmung mit schnellen Reaktorneutronen erschweren oder unmöglich machen.Wir danken der Betriebsleitung und der Bestrahlungsgruppe des FRM für deren verständnisvolles Eingehen auf unsere Wünsche, Herrn Dr. Köhler für seine wertvollen Hinweise beim Aufbau der schnellen Rohrpost und Herrn E. Pfeffermann für seine Mithilfe bei einem Teil der Messungen.     

Influencing parameters in time resolved picosecond spectroscopy and a new light gate method

We show that the open period of a CS₂ light gate, triggered by a picosecond optical pulse, depends on the optical pathlength through the CS₂. An alternative to the light gate is suggested for time resolved spectroscopy. The working principle is based on scattering induced in CS₂. We have found that the broadband emission from H₂O or D₂O excited by a 5300 Å picosecond pulse is also of picosecond duration, but the blue part is delayed with respect to the red. From this delay time the lifetime of the ground state vibrational levels may be measured directly.     

The mass-spectral fragmentation of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes

The mass spectra of twelve bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes have been recorded. The high number of metastables observed, exact mass measurements of the ions and low ionising voltage spectra, permitted the rationalisation of most of the fragmentation pathways. The 1-phenyl substituent triggers the major fragmentation in the hydrocarbon, whereas it has minor influence in the oxygenated compounds. Significant differences in the abundance of [M ? H₂O]⁺ ions for stereoisomeric alcohols of this series have been observed.
