N-1 Substituted ethyl 4-pyrazolecarboxylates: Synthesis and spectroscopic investigations

The synthesis of various N-1 substituted ethyl 4-pyrazolecarboxylates via reaction of ethyl 2-formyl-3-oxo-propionate (= ethoxycarbonylmalondialdehyde) with appropriately substituted hydrazines is described. Moreover, detailed nmr-spectroscopic investigations with the title compounds are presented.     

Superconductivity-induced phonon self-energy effects in high-T c superconductors

The superconductivity-induced self-energy of phonons has been calculated in the lowest-order conserving approximation using conventional strong-coupling theory and also including scattering at nonmagnetic impurities. Results for the dependence of the shift and the width of phonons on temperature and scattering rates are presented and their sensitivity on the strength of the electron-phonon coupling and on impurities is pointed out. The theory is applied to optical data in YBa₂Cu₃O₇ using the experimental one-phonon density, the value ofT _c and [^*=0.25 as inputs. Neglecting anisotropies and the momentum dependence of the electron-phonon coupling the resulting strong-coupling model with 2.9 yields results which are in good agreement with the data, in particular, if impurity scattering is taken into account.

ROTATIONAL DIFFUSION OF RHODAMINE 6G IN HUMAN BLOOD SERUM

Abstract —The time-dependent rotational relaxation of Rhodamine 6G in fresh and dried human blood serum was investigated using picosecond phasefluorometry. Measurements were also carried out in aqueous solutions of amino acids, glucose, urea, and bovine serum albumin to evaluate our model for the interactions. It is shown that the distribution of Rhodamine 6G between the aqueous and the protein phase of the blood serum strongly depends on protein concentration and temperature.     

Calorimetric evidence for a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconducting state in the layered organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2

The specific heat of the layered organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu(NCS)(2), where BEDT-TTF is bisethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene, has been studied in magnetic fields up to 28 T applied perpendicular and parallel to the superconducting layers. In parallel fields above 21 T, the superconducting transition becomes first order, which signals that the Pauli-limiting field is reached. Instead of saturating at this field value, the upper-critical-field increases sharply and a second first-order transition line appears within the superconducting phase. Our results give strong evidence that the phase, which separates the homogeneous superconducting state from the normal state is a realization of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state.     

The influence of short-range order on electronic properties of transition metals: II. Amorphous metals

Local electronic properties have been calculated for the amorphous transition metals Nb, Mo, and Tc using a cluster model which accounts for the topology of the local structure. Trends in the density of states observed in metallic glasses are reproduced, and the behaviour of the averaged electron-phonon coupling strength correlates well with the behaviour of the superconducting transition temperature. The ratios of the critical temperatures in the amorphous and the crystalline state are reproduced correctly. The results show that the change in the critical temperature on going from the crystalline to the amorphous state can be explained by the change in short-range order.
