Thermodynamics of hydrogen-isotope-exchange reactions. Proton solvation inn-hexanol and water

This paper reports our results for the direct experimental determination of the equilibrium constant for the hydrogen-isotope-exchange reaction, 1/2D₂(g)+HCl(hexOH)=1/2H₂(g)+DCl(hexOD), where hexOH isn-hexanol and hexOD isn-hexanol with deuterium substitution in the alcohol function. The reaction was studied in electrochemical double cells without liquid junction for which the net cell reaction is the above isotope-exchange reaction. The experimentally determined value of ε° (296.0°K) for this cell is 4.03±0.95 mV (strong electrolyte standard states, mole-fraction composition scale); the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.17±0.05. The contributions of isotope-exchange and transfer effects to the magnitude of the standard Gibbs energy change for the above reaction and for the analogous reaction 1/2D₂(g)+HCl(aq)=DCl(daq)+1/2H₂(g) are considered. Our results support the conclusion of Heinzinger and Weston that the formulation of the solvated proton in water as H₃O⁺, as opposed to H₉O₄ ⁺, is sufficient for the interpretation of the thermodynamics of hydrogen-isotope-exchange reactions in water. We also find that the formulation of the solvated proton inn-hexanol as ROH ₂ ⁺ is sufficient for the interpretation of our results on the thermodynamics of hydrogen-isotope-exchange inn-hexanol.

Effect on Intensity Correlation Time by Input Signal in a Single-Mode Laser with Bias Signal Modulation

The effect on intensity correlation time T by input signal is studied for gain-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by colored pump noise and colored quantum noise with colored cross-correlation with a bias signal modulation in this paper. By using the linear approximation method, we detect that there exists maximum (i.e., resonance) in the curve of the intensity correlation time T upon bias-current i0 when the noise correlation coefficient λ is positive; and there exists minimum (i.e., suppression) in the T-i0 curve when λ is negative. And when λ is zero, T increases monotonously with increasing i0. Furthermore, the curve of T upon the signal frequency Ω is also studied. Our study shows that no matter what the value ofλ is, there exists minimum (i.e., suppression) in the T-Ω curve.     

Stochastic resonance induced by a multiplicative periodic signal in a logistic growth model with correlated noises

The stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon induced by a multiplicative periodic signal in a logistic growth model with correlated noises is studied by using the theory of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the adiabatic limit. The expressions of the SNR are obtained. The effects of multiplicative noise intensity α and additive noise intensity D, and correlated intensity λ on the SNR are discussed respectively. It is found that the existence of a maximum in the SNR is the identifying characteristic of the SR phenomena. In comparison with the SR induced by additive periodic signal, some new features are found: (1) When SNR as a function of λ for fixed ratio of α and D, the varying of α can induce a stochastic multi-resonance, and can induce a re-entrant transition of the peaks in SNR vs λ; (2) There exhibits a doubly critical phenomenon for SNR vs D and λ, i.e., the increasing of D (or λ) can induce the critical phenomenon for SNR with respect to λ (or D); (3) The doubly stochastic resonance effect appears when α and D are simultaneously varying in SNR, i.e., the increment of one noise intensity can help the SR on another noise intensity come forth.      

PN结电容与正向直流偏压的关系

半导体PN结具有电容的性质．在正向直流偏压下,理论计算表明,PN结扩散电容的对数与正向偏压成正比．实验发现,当正向偏压小于30mV时,这种线性关系是成立的;当正向偏压大于30mV时,会偏离这种线性关系．由于PN结还具有电阻特性,对交流信号的相位有影响．随着正向偏压增大,交流信号的相位变化出现一极值．如果将PN结等效为一个电容和一个电阻并联,就可以定性解释这种变化关系．     

Stereochemical analysis of ferrocene and the uncertainty of fluorescence XAFS data

Methods for the quantification of statistically valid measures of the uncertainties associated with X‐ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) data obtained from dilute solutions using fluorescence measurements are developed. Experimental data obtained from 10 mM solutions of the organometallic compound ferrocene, Fe(C₅H₅)₂, are analysed within this framework and, following correction for various electronic and geometrical factors, give robust estimates of the standard errors of the individual measurements. The reliability of the refinement statistics of standard current XAFS structure approaches that do not include propagation of experimental uncertainties to assess subtle structural distortions is assessed in terms of refinements obtained for the staggered and eclipsed conformations of the C₅H₅ rings of ferrocene. Standard approaches (XFIT, IFEFFIT) give refinement statistics that appear to show strong, but opposite, preferences for the different conformations. Incorporation of experimental uncertainties into an IFEFFIT‐like analysis yield refinement statistics for the staggered and eclipsed forms of ferrocene which show a far more realistic preference for the eclipsed form which accurately reflects the reliability of the analysis. Moreover, the more strongly founded estimates of the refined parameter uncertainties allow more direct comparison with those obtained by other techniques. These XAFS‐based estimates of the bond distances have accuracies comparable with those obtained using single‐crystal diffraction techniques and are superior in terms of their use in comparisons of experimental and computed structures.     

Functional magnetic resonance imaging reference phantom

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used to pinpoint active brain areas. Changes in neuronal activity modulate the local blood oxygenation level, and the associated modulation of the magnetic field homogeneity can be detected with magnetic resonance imaging. Thus, the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI indirectly measures neuronal activity. Similar modulation of magnetic field homogeneity was here elicited by other means to generate a BOLD-like change in a new phantom constructed to provide reference activations during fMRI. Magnetic inhomogeneities were produced by applying current to coils located near the phantom containing 1.5 ml of Gd-doped water. The signal-to-noise ratio of the images, produced by gradient-recalled echo-planar imaging, varied between 104 and 107 at a selected voxel when the field was and was not inhomogenized, respectively. The contrast of signals between homogeneous and inhomogeneous conditions was generally stable, except in 3% of time points. During the periods of greatest deviations an observable change would have been detected in a simultaneously measured BOLD signal. Such changes could result from the imaging method or occur through glitches in hardware or alterations in the measurement environment. With identical measurement setups, the phantom could allow comparing intersession or intersubject brain activations.

Atomic parity non-conservation: Present status and future prospects

The general features of parity nonconservation (PNC) in atoms arising from neutral weak currents and the nuclear anapole moment are discussed. The theoretical approaches used to calculate PNC observables are briefly mentioned. A brief review of the present status of atomic PNC is presented and its potential as a probe of physics beyond the standard model is highlighted.
