Electronic structure of monosubstituted benzenes and X-ray emission spectroscopy

The electronic structure of fluorobenzene was investigated by X-ray emission spectroscopy (using the F−Kα- and C−Kα-spectra) and quantum-chemical MNDO calculations. Molecular orbitals of fluorobenzene were compared with those of benzene and hydrogen fluoride. The P_π−p_π-interaction between the phenyl ring and the fluorine atom in the fluorobenzene molecule is weak for both the outer and inner π levels. For Part 2, see Ref. 1.

Interferometric monitoring of single-mode operation of a tunable injection laser

We propose a technique for rapid monitoring of single-mode operation of a tunable injection laser, based on analysis of the fine structure of the power-current characteristic obtained with self-heterodyning, using a Michelson interferometer. The technique makes it possible to determine the range for single-mode lasing and mode tuning as well as the presence of spurious optical feedback, and to estimate the coherence length. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 1, pp. 119–123, January–February, 2006.     

Enhanced emission of the laser generated plume in Ar gas

We report an effect of enhanced emission of laser generated plume in gas ambi-ent.Nonreactive argon gas was used in the experiment of UV laser ablation of copper plate.The emission of Cu atoms from the plume was increased more than the times.The emission in-tensity is sensitive to the gas pressure,but in a certain region of gas pressure,the enhanced ef-fect can be controlled stably.For the emission lines from other element,Zn,in the plume,the intensities are subjected to the same factor of increasement.     

Cosmic history of some pallasites based on fossil track studies

Investigation of fossil charged-particle tracks in various mineral phases of extraterrestrial samples is a powerful method for research the early stages of the solar system. Examination of fossil charged-particle tracks in the phosphate and olivine crystals of 5 pallasites coupled with U content determination allowed the estimation of the contributions of all possible track sources to the total track density and calculation of a value of model fission-track age.

Phosphate crystals from all studied pallasites were established to contain fossil tracks due to galactic cosmic rays (VH, VVH nuclei); induced fission of U and Th by cosmic rays; spontaneous fission of ²³⁸U; spontaneous fission of extinct short-lived ²⁴⁴Pu nuclei presented in significant quantities in the early solar system. The discovery of a high track density attributed to the extinct ²⁴⁴Pu pointed obviously to the high value of the fission-track age. Model fission-track ages of (4.37±0.02) Gyr for the Marjalahti pallasite; (4.37±0.01) Gyr for the Omolon pallasite; (4.19±0.02) Gyr for the Bragin pallasite; (4.18±0.03) Gyr for the Krasnoyarsk pallasite; (4.21±0.02) Gyr for the Brenham pallasite were calculated. The comparison of represented data with petrographic analyses allowed us to interpret a value of fission-track age as the time of the last intensive shock/thermal event in the cosmic history of a pallasite.     

Search for the ternary cluster decay of Cm isotopes using SSNTD

Investigation of the ²⁴⁶Cm spontaneous ternary decay into nearly equal clusters using polyethyleneterephthalate track detectors has been carried out. The possibility of ternary cluster decay has been found out to be of less than 10⁻⁶ with respect to all fission modes of ²⁴⁶Cm.     

Application of quartz glass tubes as the track detectors for chemical identification of short-lived isotopes of elements 104, 105 and 106

The quartz glass open chromatographic columns with thermal gradient, which usually were used for the investigation of chemical properties of short-lived Z104 nuclides, were first used as the track detectors of spontaneously fissioning isotopes of elements 104, 105 and 106. The recoil nuclei of these elements were captured by the flow of gaseous chlorides then go to the quartz tube with reducing thermal gradient 400°C-100°C. The quartz tube was etched in 40% HF. The tracks due to spontaneous fission of isotopes ²⁵⁹104, ²⁶²105 and ²⁶³106 which were etched at the internal wall of quartz tubes were counted under optical microscope.

Novel Oxygen Storage Components Promoted Palladium Catalysts for Emission Control in Natural Gas Powered Engines

A three-way catalyst comprised novel oxygen storage components for emission control in natural gas powered engines was prepared. The addition of novel oxygen storage components to the Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalysts resulted in improved activities of the fresh and aged catalyst by lowering the light-off temperature for methane in natural gas engines exhaust.     

Isotopic compositions and scalings

We review experimental and theoretical studies devoted to extract information on the behaviour of the symmetry energy, in density regions different from the normal value, with charge-asymmetric reactions at Fermi energies. In particular, we focus on the analysis of fragmentation reactions and isotopic properties of the reaction products. Results concerning “isoscaling” properties and the N/Z equilibration among the reaction partners in semi-peripheral reactions are also discussed.
