Fermi and Coulomb correlations in the 21 S state of the helium isoelectronic sequence

The Fermi and Coulomb holes of the 2¹ S state of the helium isoelectronic sequence are investigated. Several interesting differences between the results obtained and those which might be expected on the basis of the corresponding 2³ S state are pointed out and discussed.     

Stationary phase properties of the organic molten salt ethylpyridinium bromide in gas chromatography

Summary The organic molten salt, 1-ethylpyridinium bromide, is suitable for use as a stationary phase in gas chromatography. It has a usable liquid temperature range of 110 to 160°C. It undergoes a single phase transition at 110°C which corresponds to the bulk melting point. Below the melting point the phase may be used as a selective adsorbent, although column efficiency and peak symmetry deteriorate as the temperature is lowered from the melting point. Above the melting point, ethylpyridinium bromide can be used to separate a wide variety of organic compounds retaining strongly those compounds possessing large dipole or hydrogen bonding functional groups.     

A Study of Amorphous Precursors for PbZrO3-PbTiO3 Based Ceramic Materials

Amorphous precursors for PbZrO₃ and PbTiO₃ ceramics were prepared from lead acetate and the transition metaln-propoxide inn-propanol orn-butoxide inn-butanol and hydrolysed with an excess of water. According to GLC and TGA/EGA analyses, the type of alkoxide group influences distinctly the structure of heterometallic precursors, i.e., oxo or acetate bridging, and the amounts of hydroxyl and organic groups bound to the metal network. The local environments of metal atoms in the amorphous precursors were also studied by EXAFS. The analysis reveals that in Pb−Zr precursors alkoxide groups modify the coordination spheres of the zirconium atoms. Conversely, local environments of both lead and titanium atoms within the analysed range of 3.4 A depend weakly on the type of alkoxide used.     

Photovoltaic effect and carrier transport mechanisms in Hg1-Mnxtdiodes

Hg_1-xMn_xTe semiconducting semimagnetic alloy has been examined in the context of its possible applications in infrared detectors. For analysis of detector properties the intrinsic carrier concentration has been calculated as a function of temperature and crystal composition. The starting material was In-doped Hg_1-xMn_xTe grown by the modified Bridgman method. The as-grown crystals with manganese content of 12-19% were p-type with carrier concentration and mobility of 100 cm²/ Vs at 77 K. An-type layer was formed on the surface by the annealing process in saturated Hg-vapour at 270-320° for 2 hrs. Capacitance-voltage curves have C^-3 dependence on applied voltage indicating that the junction is linearly graded. From standard electrical measurements and spectral characteristics the main detector parameters were determined and compared to those of Hg_1-xCd_xTe devices. The influence of material properties on detector parameters was analyzed. In order to estimate the carrier transport mechanisms, differential resistivities and current-voltage curves were measured over a wide range of temperaturesi.e. 25 to 300 K. From the temperature dependence of the R₀A product, it was established that at high temperatures (150-300 K) the carrier transport is dominated by a recombination-generation mechanism. In low temperature region the excess current at forward bias is probably attributed to carrier tunneling via energy states distributed randomly within the forbidden gap. At reverse bias the leakage surface or volume currents dominate in the carrier transport.     

Spectral and Thermal Studies of Rare Earth Element 3-methylglutarates

Conditions for the formation of rare earth element (Y, La–Lu) 3-methylglutarates were studied and their quantitative composition and solubilities in water at 293 K were determined (10^–2 mol dm^–3). The IR spectra of the prepared complexes with general formula Ln₂(C₆H₈O₄)₃ nH₂O (n=3–8) were recorded and their thermal decomposition in the air were investigated. During heating the hydrated 3-methylglutarates are dehydrated in one step and next anhydrous complexes decompose to oxides Ln₂O₃ with intermediate formation Ln₂O₂CO₃ (Y, La, Nd–Gd) or directly to the oxides, Ln₂O₃, CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁ and Tb₄O₇ (Ce, Pr, Tb–Lu). This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On-column injection onto capillary columns. Part 2: Study of sampling conditions; practical recommendations

During one year continuous use of on-column injection, the typical advantages described in our first report have fully been confirmed. In addition the analysis of large sample volumes has proved promising. Only minor modifications have been applied to the on-column injector device. Broad evidence has been gathered showing that full separation efficiency of the capillary columns after on-column injection is attained only when cold trapping or the solvent effect, as band shortening mechanisms, are working- While, under the conditions of on-column injection, cold trapping is less efficient than with other injection techniques, the opposite holds true for the solvent effect. Compared with splitless injection, the danger of excessive solvent condensation on the column is increased. A working rule is presented for establishing the optimal chromatographic conditions for handling large sample volumes while ensuring full separation efficiency yet avoiding harm to the column.

Constitution moleculaire d'α,ω-difluoropolydimethylsiloxanes equilibres obtenus par une reaction de redistribution

α,ω-Difluoropolydimethylsiloxanes F[(CH₃)₂SiO]_n(CH₃)₂SiF have been prepared by reaction of (CH₃)₂SiF₂ with cyclic dimethylsiloxanes [(CH₃)₂SiO]_n (n = 3 or 4). An equilibrium is reached in the redistribution of fluorine vs. oxygen atoms after ca. 24 h at 200°C or 15 days at 150°C when catalysed by AlCl₃. 16 equilibrated samples of varied (R = F/Si) overall compositions have been analysed by ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR and by VPC. The presence of rings has been established for the lower values of R. The molecular constitution of the equilibrated samples is described by a set of constants. The abundance of the end units

is slightly larger than expected from random distribution. The good resolution of the spectra permits the distinguishing of the 9th order of environment of the end units and the 5th order for the middle units and the verification that there is no preferential association among the building units, and thus the proportion of chains of various lengths obeys Flory's random distribution mode. The equilibrium molecular constitution of these α,ω-difluorosiloxanes is close to that of their dichloro analogs; the substitution of chlorine by fluorine atoms at the end of the chains thus appears to cause little perturbation. On the other hand, the kinetic evolution of the reaction appears to be different, since the first species which forms is always the pyro molecule

instead of long chains and large rings as in the case of the chloro analogs.
