Orientation of O(3) and SU(2)⊗CI representations in cubic point groups (Oh,Td) for application to molecular spectroscopy

We propose a detailed method for the symmetrization of the standard O(3) or SU(2)⊗C_I basis |j_τ,m〉 (τ=g or u) into the O_h or T_d point group. This is realized by means of an orientation matrix called G. The oriented basis obtained in this way allows matrix element calculations for rovibronic spectroscopic problems concerning octahedral or tetrahedral molecules. Particular attention has been put on careful phase choices. A numerical calculation of all the G matrix elements for both integer and half-integer j values up to 399/2 has been performed. Such high angular momentum values are necessary for the case of heavy molecules with high rotational excitation. To calculate the G coefficients with high precision at high j values we pre-calculated the necessary Wigner functions using symbolic MAPLE software and made then the numerical calculations with quadruple precision. The complete list of these coefficients can be obtained freely at the URL: http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/LPUB/group.html. As an illustration, we also present briefly an application to two typical spectroscopic calculations: the pure rotational levels of SF₆ in its ground vibrational state and the ν₃ band of ReF₆ (an open-shell molecule with an odd number of electrons and a fourfold degenerate electronic ground state).     

A variable dimension fixed point algorithm and the orientation of simplices

A variable dimension algorithm with integer labelling is proposed for solving systems ofn equations inn variables. The algorithm is an integer labelling version of the 2-ray algorithm proposed by the author. The orientation of lower dimensional simplices is studied and is shown to be preserved along a sequence of adjacent simplices.     

Orientation mechanisms during biaxial drawing of polymer films

Summary Second drawing of monoaxially drawn PP and PET films perpendicular to the first drawing direction has been investigated. At low draw ratios structural systems having an angle of 45° with regard to the second draw direction are formed. By increasing the draw ratio the structures rotate into the new preferred direction. The results lead to the impression that the structural transformations do not turn out molecule by molecule, but domain by domain.

Zusammenfassung Die Zweitverstreckung monoaxial verstreckter PP- und PET-Folien senkrecht zur Erstverstreckrichtung wird untersucht. Bei kleinen Verstreckgraden bilden sich Struktursysteme unter 45° zur Zweitverstreckrichtung; bei weiterer Verdehnung drehen sich die Strukturen in die Vorzugsrichtung. Die Ergebnisse vermitteln den Eindruck, daß die Strukturänderung nicht Molekül für Molekül, sondern Bereich für Bereich abläuft.

The 60° or 180° twinned Bi-doped PbTe film studied by EBSD

The Bi-doped PbTe film was grown on Si(1 1 1) substrate by using hot wall epitaxy (HWE) technique. The film was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, micro-area X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results indicate that the film is dominated by 〈1 1 1〉 orientation. The film consists of two twinned domains, rotated 60° or 180° around the normal to the film surface. It is speculated that the twinned PbTe film results from the deviated triangular grains. The ratio between the grains with two different orientations will decrease with the increase of the film thickness.     

Evaluation of immobilized-lysozyme by means of TOF-SIMS

Evaluation of immobilized-proteins on bio-devices is important for the development of sophisticated devices. Lysozyme molecules immobilized on substrates were evaluated by means of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Two types of the lysozyme-immobilized samples were prepared by controlling the binding parts, i.e., the amino groups or carboxyl groups, of the protein. The TOF-SIMS spectra of each sample were analyzed with mutual information to select fragment ions specific to each sample. According to the results, differences between the samples being immobilized in the different ways are suggested, and the surface structure of the lysozyme molecule immobilized at amino groups is determined based on three-dimensional structure of lysozyme in the Protein Data Bank.     

Arc reversals of cycles in orientations of G vertex-multiplications

Ryser proved that any two tournaments with the same score sequence are $C_3$-equivalent while Beineke and Moon proved the $C_4$-equivalence for any two bipartite tournaments with the same score lists. In this paper, we extend these results to orientations of G vertex-multiplications. We focus on two main areas, namely orientations with the same score list and with score-list parity. Our main tools are extensions of the refinement technique, directed difference graph and a reduction lemma.     

Structure of friction-transferred highly oriented poly(3-hexylthiophene) thin films

Oriented thin films of P3HT were obtained by a friction-transfer technique. The morphology and structure of the film were studied by means of optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Optical microscopy observation indicates that large size well-ordered P3HT thin films can be produced by a friction-transfer technique. Highly ordered lamellae were observed in P3HT friction-transferred films by electron microscopy. Electron diffraction results confirm the existence of high orientation with the a- and c-axes of P3HT crystals aligned in the film plane while the c-axis parallel to the friction-transfer direction. The atomic force microscopy observation of the as-prepared P3HT thin film shows, however, a featureless top surface morphology, indicating the structure inhomogeneity of the obtained film. To get highly oriented P3HT thin films with homogenous structure, high temperature annealing, solvent vapor annealing and self-seeding recrystallization of the friction-transferred film were performed. It is confirmed that solvent vapor annealing and self-seeding recrystallization methods are efficient in improving the surface morphology and structure of the frictiontransferred P3HT thin film. Highly oriented P3HT films with unique structure can be obtained through friction-transfer with subsequent solvent vapor annealing and self-seeding recrystallization.     

The influence of chitin nanocrystals on structural evolution of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene/chitin nanocrystal fibers in hot-drawing process

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/chitin nanocrystal (CNC) fibers were prepared. Compared with the pure UHMWPE fibers, the ultimate tensile strength and Young’s modulus of UHMWPE/CNC fibers are improved by 15.7% and 49.6%, respectively, with the addition of chitin nanocrystals (CNCs) of 1 wt%. The melting temperature (T _m) of UHMWPE/CNC fibers was higher than that of pure UHMWPE fibers. Pure UHMWPE fibers and UHMWPE/CNC fibers were characterized with respect to crystallinity, orientation and kebab structure by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that the CNCs act as the shish structure in UHMWPE/CNC fibers and the kebab crystals are grown around the CNCs. There was almost no difference between pure UHMWPE fibers and UHMWPE/CNC fibers in orientation. But the degree of crystallinity of various stages of UHMWPE/CNC fibers was respectively higher than the corresponding stage of pure UHMWPE fibers. Moreover, the addition of 1 wt% CNCs improved the thickness of kebab crystals and accelerated the transformation of kebab to shish.     

Orientation Angle of Molecules at Hexadecane-Water Interface Studied with Total Internal Reflection Second Harmonic Generation

The orientation angle is an important parameter that reflects the structure of molecules at interfaces. In order to obtain this parameter, second order nonlinear spectroscopic techniques including second harmonic generation (SHG) and sum frequency generation-vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) have been successfully applied through analysis of the nonlinear signal from various polarizations. In some SHG and SFG-VS experiments, total internal reflection (TIR) configuration has been adopted to get enhanced signals. However, the reports on the detailed procedure of the polarization analysis and the calculation of the orientation angle of interfacial molecules under TIR configuration are still very few. In this paper, we measured the orientation angles of two molecules at the hexadecane-water interface under TIR and Non-TIR experimental configurations. The results measured from polarization analysis in TIR configuration consist with those obtained from Non-TIR configuration. This work demonstrates the feasibility and accuracy of polarization analysis in the determination of the orientation angle of molecules at the interfaces under TIR-SHG configuration.
