Kinetic theory of adsorption and desorption

In this paper we use stochastic methods to discuss adsorption and desorption. The paper derives generalized coefficients of sticking and accomodation depending on surface temperatureT _s and gas temperatureT _g and shows, that for additive Markov processes, these kinetic coefficients are identical. Furthermore, exact solutions of the kinetic equations for certain simple transition probabilitiesP(, ) are found and an approximation method for more complicatedP(, ) is given. The comparison of the theory with experimental results for noble gas-metal systems indicate a quadratic relationship between the first moment of the transition probabilityP(, ) and the well depth of the physisorption system.     

Experimental beta-decay energies of very neutron-rich Cs isotopes

TheQ _β-values of the very neutron-rich cesium isotopes with mass number 142≤A≤146 have been measured with a plastic scintillation detector telescope at the fission product separator OSTIS. The mass excesses calculated from these decay energies agree well with the values obtained by direct mass determinations.

Interaction of potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) with histidine

L-histidine substitutes cyano groups of K₄Fe (CN)₆ at pH 7·0 on irradiation with ultraviolet light. The reaction follows first order kinetics with reference to K₄Fe(CN)₆ and zero order with reference to histidine. The kinetic data shows the primary process to be aquation of Fe(CN) ₆ ^4? while the final product is formed through a rapid dark reaction of histidine with Fe(CN)₄ (H₂O) ₂ ^2? to give the product K₂Fe(CN)₂(histidine)₂. The final product has been subjected to chemical and infrared spectral analysis.     

On the covariant formulation of quantum mechanics

We give picture-covariant formulations of the equations of motion for observables and states such that the Hamiltonian operator is transformed asH-0304;=U(t)HU (t) under a time-dependent unitary transformationU(t). Next, we consider the explicit and implicit covariance of Heisenberg's equations of motion for observables with respect to general transformations of coordinate operators. Most of our representation is spread out over a number of textbooks and articles, where the subject has been considered with greater or lesser clarity from different points of view.     

General alloy analogs of itinerant magnetic systems

Magnetically disordered, strong correlated itinerant electron systems are studied within the Hubbard model. Following an alloy analogy, the approximated system hamiltonian contains local vectoral magnetic fields at the atomic sites, which can be oriented into all space directions. The statistical system of the localized magnetic moments (due to the fields) is treated by the aid of a generalized CPA-technique. Supposing a macroscopic magnetic structure of sublattice antiferromagnetism, the formation of incomplete antiferromagnetic ordering of the localized moments is examined. The results show, that the electron density plays an essential roll for the question, whether or not it is possible to go beyond the pure (itinerant) antiferromagnetic state. Including the results of earlier papers for homogeneous macroscopic magnetic structure, on the whole scale of electron densities it is summed up (at zero temperature), where the different states (without-, with incomplete- or with complete magnetic order) are able to exist. It is shown, for fixed density respectively, which different phases are passed through on changing the coupling constant.Work supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

On the critical dynamics of disordered spin systems

The dynamic critical behaviour of spin systems with quenched impurities, and of amorphous spin systems as characterized by the additional presence of random anisotropy directions, is studied by renormalization group methods to second order in=4–d. For the Halperin-Hohenberg-Ma model with purely relaxational dynamics it is concluded that in three dimensions (d=3) the critical slowing down should be enhanced by impurities for systems with Ising type statics, whereas there is no change forXY- and Heisenberg systems. For amorphous systems, however, the critical dynamics should change also in theXY- and Heisenberg cases. Furthermore, it is concluded that additional conserved, but noncritical modes become always statically decoupled from the order parameter for systems with impurities, but not for amorphous systems. Thus, for the impure system, the energy density mode and the asymmetric models of Halperin, Hohenberg and Siggia are ruled out. But the effects of dynamic coupling remain: Especially, the relationz=d/2 for the dynamic exponent of planar and isotropic antiferromagnets is modified for impure or amorphous systems.     

Hyperfine structure investigations of some odd levels of Co I by level crossing and optical methods

Using the level crossing technique the ratios and absolute values of the hyperfine structure (hfs) constants of the levelsz ⁴F_9/2 andz ⁴F_7/2 of the configuration 3d ⁷4s4p of Co I were measured:z ⁴ F _9/2: ¦A¦=(811±12)MHz; ¦B¦=(48±93) MHz;B/A=?0.06±0.11 A>0; B<0z ⁴ F _7/2: ¦A¦ = (659 ±11)MHz; ¦B¦=(33±84)MHz;B/A=?0.05±0.13 A>0; B<0. In addition the hfs constants of three other excited levels of Co I could be determined by optical methods:z ⁴ F _9/2:A=525±26 MHz;B=200 MHzy ⁴ F _9/2:A=300±30 MHz;B=?500 MHzy ⁴ G _11/2:A=315±20 MHz;B=400 MHz. The experimental results are compared with known experimental and also with theoretical values which where calculated using the parametric potential method.     

Electroninitiated polymerization of bis(trichlorophenoxo)-tetramethylethylene diamine copper(II)

Electroninitiated polymerization of bis(trichlorophenoxo)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylene diamine copper(II) was achieved in acetonitrile at various peak potentials of the monomer. A constant potential approach was selected in polymerization reactions. Electrolyses were carried out under air, nitrogen, and oxygen atmospheres. Structural analyses of the polymers were done by ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR FT–IR spectroscopy. Molecular weights of the polymers were determined by vapor pressure (isopiestic) method.

Korsevine and the new alkaloids severine N-oxide and korsemine have been isolated from the combined alkaloids ofKorolkowia sewerzowii Regel. On the basis of the results of a study of the IR and NMR spectra of the alkaloids and also of a correlation with korseveriline and korsevine it has been established that base (I) is severine N-oxide and korsemine has the structure of korsevine 3-D-glucopyranoside.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
