The influence of hydrogen on the atomic distribution function and electrical resistance of amorphous chromium films

Electrical resistivity of amorphous chromium films (20–37 nm thick) deposited in a hydrogen atmosphere (P _{H 2}=8·10^–6–2·10^–4 hPa) onto a substrate cooled by liquid helium down to 2 K is measured, and electron-diffraction studies have been performed immediately after the quench condensation and after annealing to different temperatures up to 300 K. The preparation method employed permits a considerable hydrogen enrichment of the films to be reached. The maximum hydrogen concentration corresponds approximately to a stoichiometric composition of CrH. It is found that as the maximum concentration is approached the atomic distribution functionG(r) changes remarkably. The interatomic distances increase considerably (by 10%) and the atomic densities decrease. It is quite possible that amorphous chromium hydride is a final state with the maximum hydrogen concentration. For films with intermediate concentration,G(r) is found to vary substantially under annealing up to 90 K. The electron-diffraction and electronmicroscopic data, as well as the variations in resistivity due to annealing, suggest that with annealing up to 90 K, a hydrogen redistribution occurs in the amorphous films, initially homogenous in concentration. We observe also distinct indications of separation into phases with increased and reduced hydrogen contents.     

Quantitative on-line high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in process engineering applications

In many technical processes, complex multicomponent mixtures have to be handled, for example, in reaction or separation equipment. High-resolution NMR spectroscopy is an excellent tool to study these mixtures and gain insight in their behavior in the processes. For on-line studies under process conditions, flow NMR probes can be used in a wide range of temperature and pressure. A major challenge in engineering applications of NMR spectroscopy is the need for quantitative evaluation. Flow rates, recovery times, and other parameters of the on-line NMR experiments have to be optimized for this purpose. Since it is generally prohibitive to use deuterated solvents in engineering applications, suitable techniques for field homogenization and solvent signal suppression are needed. Two examples for the application of on-line NMR spectroscopic experiments in process engineering are presented, studies on chemical equilibria and reaction kinetics of the technically important system formaldehyde-water-methanol and investigations on reactive gas absorption of CO(2) in aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine.     

Vapor pressure of R227ea + ethanol at 343.13 K by molecular simulation

A new molecular model for 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (R227ea) was developed on the basis of quantum chemical calculations and optimized using experimental vapor pressure and bubble density data. In combination with an existing model for ethanol, a molecular model for the binary mixture R227ea + ethanol was defined, using the Lorentz–Berthelot combining rule. It was validated at 283.17 K, where, considering the statistical uncertainties, it agrees to the experimental vapor pressure. The vapor–liquid equilibrium, comprising both bubble line and dew line data, was predicted at 343.13 K by molecular simulation. The Peng–Robinson equation of state fails for this system.     

On the short-range order of amorphous Al−Au films

Al_100–x Au _x films (20x71) are produced by quench condensation. The analysis of electron diffraction patterns as well as resistivity measurements reveal the liquid-like structure of these films. In contrast to amorphous Al–Cu films the amorphous Al–Au filsm exhibit prepeaks in their interference functions. Atomic distances as large as the smallest Au–Au separations existing in the compound Al₂Au are responsible for these prepeaks. The CaF₂-type structure of this particular compound is due to an ionic bonding contribution in Al₂Au. This bonding contribution, probably caused by the large electronegativity difference between Al and Au, seems to be responsible for the pronounced chemical short-range order in amorphous Al–Au films.     

Analysis of proteins from a glioma cell line by using micro-scale solution isoelectric focusing in combination with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

In this study we have investigated whether micro-solution isoelectric focusing (microsol-IEF) can be used as a pre-fractionation step prior to liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and if extensive sample purification of the different fractions is required. We found that, in spite of the high concentrations of buffer and detergents, no clean up of the digested microsol-IEF fractions was necessary before analysis by LC/MS/MS. We also concluded that it is possible to identify at least twice as many proteins in a glioma cell lysate with the combination of microsol-IEF and LC/MS/MS than with LC/MS/MS alone. Furthermore, most of the proteins that were identified from one microsol-IEF fraction by using analytical narrow-range two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and peptide mass fingerprinting with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) were also identified by LC/MS/MS. Finally, we used the combination of microsol-IEF and LC/MS/MS to compare two sample preparation methods for glioma cells and found that several nuclear, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum proteins were only present in the sample that had been subjected to lipid extraction by incubating the homogenized cells in chloroform/methanol/water.
