Transport coefficients of quasicrystals

The transport coefficients for the nine point groups —which represent the symmetry groups of the quasicrystals in two and three dimensions—have been evaluated and tabulated in this work, employing group-theoretical methods.     

Heterogeneities of grain boundary arrangement in polycrystals

Data on mutual arrangements of different types of grain boundaries in polycrystals are presented. The heterogeneity in grain boundary distribution, namely, the effect of gathering low-angle or special tilt grain boundaries is found in pure aluminum thin films, in sheets of Fe-3% Si alloy and in Al₂O₃ doped with MgO or MgO and Y ₂O₃. The local texture, i.e., formation of colonies or clusters of close-oriented grains is considered as a reason of this heterogeneity. The influences of grain boundary gathering on the transport properties of polycrystals and on the crack propagation are discussed. A new concept of effective grain size is suggested to analyze the relationship between material microstructures and material properties.     

Discretization of the thermal excitation in highly excited matter

In this paper the thermal energy diffusion for quantum particles is described. The quantum heat transport equation is obtained. It is shown that, for a short-time thermal excitation (of the order of the relaxation time), the excited matter response is quantized on the different levels (atomic, nuclear, quark) with quantum thermal energy equalE ^atomic 9 eV,E ^nuclear 7 MeV, andE ^quark 139 MeV.     

An energy-transport model for semiconductors derived from the Boltzmann equation

An energy-transport model is rigorously derived from the Boltzmann transport equation of semiconductors under the hypothesis that the energy gain or loss of the electrons by the phonon collisions is weak. Retaining at leading order electron-electron collisions and elastic collisions (i.e., impurity scattering and the elastic part of phonon collisions), a rigorous diffusion limit of the Boltzmann equation can be carried over, which leads to a set of diffusion equations for the electron density and temperature. The derivation is given in both the degenerate and nondegenerate cases.

Steady flux in a continuous-space Sinai chain

We examine the steady-state flux of particles diffusing in a one-dimensional finite chain with Sinai-type disorder, i.e., the system in which in addition to the thermal noise, particles are subject to a stationary random-correlated in space Gaussian force. For this model we calculate the disorder average (over configurations of the random force) flux exactly for arbitrary values of system's parameters, such as chain lengthN, strength of the force, and temperature. We prove that within the limitN1 the average flux decreases withN as J(N)=C/N and thus confirm our recent predictions that the flux in the discrete-space Sinai model is anomalous.     

Diffusion in Lorentz lattice gas automata with backscattering

The probability of first return to the initial intervalx and the diffusion tensorD _x are calculated exactly for a ballistic Lorentz gas on a Bethe lattice or Cayley tree. It consists of a moving particle and a fixed array of scatterers, located at the nodes, and the lengths of the intervals between scatterers are determined by a geometric distribution. The same values forx andD _x apply also to a regular space lattice with a fraction of sites occupied by a scatterer in the limit of a small concentration of scatterers. If backscattering occurs, the results are very different from the Boltzmann approximation. The theory is applied to different types of lattices and different types of scatterers having rotational or mirror symmetries.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 70. Mitt.: Zum aktiven Transport mit tripyrrinoiden Liganden

The tripyrrin carboxylic acid6 exhibits a pronounced efficiency for carrier mediated proton driven secondary active transport (counter transport) for a series of toxic or valuable cations in a bulk chloroform membrane. In case of Zn⁺⁺ ions the mechanism including complete concentration profiles forNerst diffusion layers and bulk phase have been established. This compound might be used for detoxification or enrichment of precious metals using membrane separation systems.

Zum chemischen Transport von SiAs mit Iod — Experimente und Modellrechnungen

On the Chemical Transport of SiAs using Iodine — Experiments and Thermochemical Calculations Using iodine as transport agent siliconarsenide migrates in a temperature gradient. The direction of the migration depends on the chosen temperature and the concentration of the transport agent. The transport rates were measured for various transport agent concentrations (0.0002 ? C(I₂) ≥ 0,02 mmol/cm³) and for various mean transport temperatures (650 ? T? ? 1 000°C). For low temperatures (e.g. T₁ = 750°C→T₂ = 850°C), low iodine concentrations (e.g. C(I₂) = 0.001 mmol/cm³) and in the presence of H₂O (from wall of silica ampoule) the following exothermic reaction is responsible for the deposition of SiAs-crystals in the sink region:

• SiAs_s + 4HI_g = SiI_4,g + 2H_2,g + 1/4As_4,g

In case of higher temperatures (e.g. T₂ = 1 050°C→T₁ = 950°C) and higher iodine concentrations (e.g. C(I₂) = 0.02 mmol/cm³) SiI_4,g is the transport agent. According to model calculations the following endothermic reaction is responsible for the migration of SiAs to the region of the lower temperature:

• SiAs_s + SiI_4,g = 2SiI_2,g + 1/4As_4,g

The heterogeneous and homogenous equilibria will be discussed and an explanation of the non equilibrium transport behaviour of SiAs is given. Thermochemical data of SiAs are characterized by the quartzmembrane zero manometer technique and further verified by model calculations.     

A refined physico-chemical model of solute retention in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ternary mobile phases

Summary In our previous publication we have introduced a new model of solute retention in RP-HPLC systems with ternary mobile phases of the B+AB₁+AB₂ type (B: acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran; AB₁: methanol; AB₂: water). That model proposed no stoichiometric differentiation between acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran, alternatively present in the solvent system; moreover, it made some very rough assumptions only as to the intermolecular interactions among the mobile phase constituents.This paper introduces a significant refinement to the already established retention model, which is based on the simple quantitative relationships between acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran, and the remaining components of the ternary liquid system. The refined model is tested with same experimental data.
