Methane Decomposition in a Barium Titanate Packed-Bed Nonthermal Plasma Reactor

The behavior of lattice oxygen species of the ferroelectric material during methane oxidation was investigated using a nonthermal plasma reactor packed with BaTiO ₃ pellets. Lattice oxygen species in BaTiO ₃ play an important role in the formation of N ₂ O and the oxidation of CH ₄ . The oxidation products such as CO and CO ₂ were formed from independent reaction pathways. Lattice oxygen species were able to preferentially oxidize the carbon species deposited on the pellet surface into CO. Also, N ₂ O and NO _x were independently formed in the N ₂–O ₂ reaction, suggesting that different oxygen species give N ₂ O and NO _x. N ₂ O was produced by the oxidation of molecular nitrogen with lattice oxygen species.     

聚合物异核交叉弛豫及二维NOE谱

The heteronuclear cross-relaxation rates in polymers were determined by selective and conventional ~(13)C spin-lattice relaxation experiments, the proton-carbon distances were calculated by the theoretical formula, and two-dimensional NOE spectra of the polymers were also measured. The results showed that (1) the measured proton-carbon distances coincide with the distances from molecular models, (2) there is the observable dipolar cross-relaxation effect between the quaternary carbons and their neighboring protons, and (3) the optimum mixing times depend on the relaxation properties of the proton and carbon.

Electrochemically Induced Iron Release of Adsorbed Horse Spleen Ferritin: Quantitation of Iron Using Long Optical Path Length Thin‐Layer Spectroelectrochemistry

In this work, long optical path length thin‐layer electrochemical cell was constructed using indium‐tin oxide on glass as the electrode material. Iron release from ferritin adsorbed on the electrode was induced by applying a negative potential sweep in the presence of 1,10‐phenanthroline. The usefulness of spectroelectrochemistry as a means of determining the quantity of iron released from an adsorbed layer of ferritin is demonstrated.     

General analysis of the measurements of the lateral crystal lattice moduli of semicrystalline polymers by x-ray diffraction and the application to nylon 6

A mathematical representation based on a linear elastic theory is proposed by which one may investigate the dependences of molecular orientation and crystallinity on the crystal lattice moduli and linear thermal expansion coefficients in the direction perpendicular to the chain axis as commonly measured by x-ray diffraction. In the theoretical calculation, a previously introduced model was employed in which oriented crystalline phase is surrounded by oriented amorphous phase and the strains of the two phases at the boundary are identical. The mathematical analysis indicated that the lateral crystal lattice moduli and linear thermal coefficients as measured by x-ray diffraction may be different from the intrinsic crystal moduli and linear thermal coefficients of a crystal unit cell, depending on the structure of the polymer solid. The numerical calculation was applied to nylon 6. As a result, it may be confirmed that the lateral crystal lattice moduli measured by x-ray diffraction are sensitive to the morphology of the bulk speciments and close to the intrinsic crystal moduli if the morphology of the test specimen can be represented by a parallel model with respect to the original stretching longitudinal direction.     

Metastable systems driven by colored noise: The stationary state

The influence of the Bardeen-Herring back-jump correlations on the Fermi-Dirac statistics of the one-dimensional nonhomogeneous fermionic lattice gas is studied by the Monte Carlo simulation technique and semianalytically. The resulting distribution is obtained, exhibiting increased population of the lower levels in comparison to the Fermi-Dirac statistics.     

Molecular intercalates

The paper deals with the relations between host lattices and guest molecules. Several types of interaction of the guest molecules and the host material are explained and some conclusions are made about the arrangement of various guest molecules in the van der Waals' gap.     

Analyticity of the density of states in the anderson model on the Bethe lattice

Let H=1/2+V on l²(B), whereB is the Bethe lattice andV(x),x B, are i.i.d.r.v.'s with common probability distribution. It is shown that for distributions sufficiently close to the Cauchy distribution, the density of states(E) is analytic in a strip about the real axis.     

Relations between site percolation thresholds

By decomposing certain lattices into two sublattices, and examining at percolation threshold the structure of their infinite clusters, an approximate relation between p _c ⁰ , of the original lattice and p _c ¹ , of the sublattice is established: p _c ⁰ (p _c ¹ )^1/2. It is conjectured that an inequality always holds: p _c ⁰ (p _c ¹ )^1/2, and heuristic arguments are given to substantiate it. By similar considerations good estimates forp _c of certain correlated percolation problems are also obtained.     

Lattice dynamical study of body-centred tetragonal indium

The phonon dispersion curves, phonon frequency distribution function as well as the lattice specific heat of body-centred tetragonal indium have been deduced using a lattice dynamical model which includes central, angular and volume forces. Six elastic constants, four zone boundary frequencies and an equilibrium condition were used in the evaluation of the force constants. It is shown that this model is elastically consistent and satisfies the symmetry requirements of the lattice, the phonon frequencies of indium deduced from it are in very good agreement with the experimental values of Reichardt and Smith and the theoretical values of Garrett and Swihart, and theθ _D values compare well with the experimental values over a wide temperature range. The apparent discrepancies in the phonon dispersion curves and theθ _D-T curves obtained from deficient models, importance of umklapp processes and the significance of angular forces in the lattice dynamical models are discussed.
