Solvatochromic Solvent Polarity Measurements In Analytical Chemistry: Synthesiss And Applications Of Et-30

Abstract

The E_T(30) scale of solvent polarity has been shown to be useful in examining many diverse analytical processes. It is based on the charge transfer absorption of 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-N-pyridinio)phenolate (referred to as ET-30 in this paper). Unfortunately, use of the E_T(30) scale has been hindered by (a) the lack of a commercial source of the ET-30 dye and (b) the lack of an English language synthetic procedure. Here we discuss recent applications of the E_T(30) scale to analytical techniques, as well as a simplified procedure for the synthesis of ET-30.

Photoconductivity of erbium-doped germanium

We have applied the technique of Photo Thermal Ionization Spectroscopy (PTIS) to the study of an erbium-doped p-Ge epitaxial layer, grown by MBE on an undoped n-type germanium substrate. The Er-doped Ge layer shows continuum photoconductivity response in the far-infrared region extending from 70 cm^–1 to 900 cm^–1. This type of epitaxial Er-doped Ge layers is a potentially attractive system for photoconductivity detectors of far-infrared radiation. Below 900 cm^–1 three acceptor-like charged states can be distinguished with ionization energies of 9, 26.6 and 50 meV. Additionally, a study of the photoconductive response of the same sample for radiation from 1000 cm^–1 to 10000 cm^–1, i.e., for radiation energies well inside the forbidden gap to energies above it, shows a wealth of levels, some of which have previously been associated with erbium.On leave from: Instituto de Física, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Puebla, México

Induced product representations of extended Cuntz algebras

Let _H be the extended Cuntz algebra over the Hilbert space H. Since its zero grade part _H⁰ is the C^*-inductive limit of B(H^r), we look for some family of representations on an inductive limit of H^r as r. When such construction is shaped according to the structure of _H⁰, von Neumanns notion of a reference sequence of unit vectors for Hilbert infinite tensor products emerges; after a further Rieffel induction step, a class IPR[H] of representations of _H arises. For any two such representations, we describe explicitly their associated intertwiners. Any two representations in IPR[H] are either disjoint or unitarily equivalent. Actions of the group by translation on sequences of unit vectors are involved, as well as the ideals of .     

THE STRUCTURE AND APPROXIMATION OF A.S. SELF-SIMILAR SET

The structure of any a.s. self-similar set K(w) generated by a class of random elements {gn,wσ} taking values in the space of contractive operators is given and the approximation of K(w) by the fixed points {Pn,wσ} of {gn,ow} is obtained. It is useful to generate the fractal in computer.     

Half-life of41Ca

The half-life of⁴¹Ca has been redetermined to be (1.01 ±0.10)×10⁵ yr from the specific activity of a sample of enriched calcium material and its⁴¹Ca concentration. The activity was measured with a Si(Li) detector via the 3.3-keV X rays emitted in the electron capture decay of⁴¹Ca to⁴¹K. The⁴¹Ca concentration was measured by mass spectrometry. Since our result agrees well with the two most recent half-life measurements of Mabuchi et al. (1974), (1.13±0.12)×10⁵ yr, and Klein et al. (1990), (1.03±0.07)×10⁵ yr, we recommend the weighted mean of these three measurements, t_1/2=(1.04±0.05)×10⁵ yr, as the most accurate value of the half-life of⁴¹Ca.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. P. Kienle on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Invariant Tori and Boundedness in Asymmetric Oscillations

In this paper,we are concerned with the boundedness of all the solutions of the equation x″ ax^ -bx- Ф(x)=p(t),where p(t) is a smooth 2π-periodic function,a and b are positive constants,and the perturbation Ф(x) is bounded.     

Many body effects in the electronic and optical properties of the (1 1 1) surface of diamond

The (1 1 1) face is the cleavage surface of diamond. Understanding its properties is very important for the growing technological interest on the chemistry of diamond surfaces. Within DFT the most stable reconstruction is the Pandey chain model, the atoms on the chain being neither buckled nor dimerised. However this geometry gives rise to a semi metallic band structure in contrast with experimental findings that show the presence of a gap ranging from 0.5 to 2 eV. Here we show that the same equilibrium geometry and thus the same metallic band structure is found relaxing the surface using screened exchange (sX) or Hartree-Fock (HF) functionals. We will discuss in detail how breaking the equivalence of the atoms on the chain affects the band structure and we will show that a buckling would yield a semiconducting surface, but is energetically unfavorable. A semiconducting character can be restored, within the equilibrium geometry, if quasiparticle corrections are carefully included within an iterative GW scheme. The result of the theoretical reflectance anisotropy spectra (RAS) at a DFT-RPA level are also presented and discussed. As expected, a strong anisotropy signal is found at low energies due to transitions between surface states inside the fundamental gap.     

The electrostatics of Einstein’s unified field theory

When sources are added at their right-hand sides, and g_(ik) is a priori assumed to be the metric, the equations of Einstein’s Hermitian theory of relativity were shown to allow for an exact solution that describes the general electrostatic field of n point charges. Moreover, the injunction of spherical symmetry of g_(ik) in the infinitesimal neighbourhood of each of the charges was proved to yield the equilibrium conditions of the n charges in keeping with ordinary electrostatics. The tensor g_(ik), however, cannot be the metric of the theory, since it enters neither the eikonal equation nor the equation of motion of uncharged test particles. A physically correct metric that rules both the behaviour of wave fronts and of uncharged matter is the one indicated by Hély.In the present paper it is shown how the electrostatic solution predicts the structure of the n charged particles and their mutual positions of electrostatic equilibrium when Hély’s physically correct metric is adopted.
