Precise atomic masses of147Eu,147Gd,and151Tb derived from their decay properties

Theβ-decay energies of¹⁴⁷Eu,¹⁴⁷Gd, and¹⁵¹Tb were determined by usingγ-spectroscopical methods. The comparison of experimental with calculatedK-capture probabilities yielded theQ _EC values 1.690( _?16 ⁺²¹ )MeV and 2.203( _?13 ⁺¹⁹ )MeV for¹⁴⁷Eu and¹⁴⁷Gd, respectively. By measuring the ratio of positron decay to electron capture for two branches in¹⁴⁷Eu decay, the decay energiesQ _EC=1.702(13) MeV andQ _EC=1.709(18)MeV were derived. Also fromEC/β ⁺ ratios the valuesQ _EC=2.225(75) MeV for¹⁴⁷Gd, andQ _EC=2.566(12)MeV for¹⁵¹Tb were obtained. Earlier discrepancies in the mass adjustment of these isotopes were removed. In course of the present studiesγ-decay properties of¹⁴⁷Eu and¹⁴⁷Gd were reinvestigated.

Second-forbidden beta-decay and the effect of (V+A)- andS-interaction admixtures:36Cl

The shapefactor, the logft-value, the electron longitudinal polarization and the distribution of electrons emitted from oriented nuclei of³⁶Cl have been calculated by applying two different nuclear models. Firstly a pure 1d_3/2→1d_3/2 transition has been considered. Secondly a more refined shell model of thes-d shell configuration space has been taken into account. It is shown that there is no great influence of the shell model version to the observables, that the observables depend strongly on the relativistic nuclear matrix elements, that the so-called “two parameter equation” for the shapefactor cannot be used in the case of³⁶Cl and that there is no larger sensitivity of (V+A) admixtures to the electron longitudinal polarization than normally found in allowed decays. Comparisons with the existing experimental data are made.     

Measuring a colloidal particle's interaction with a flat surface under nonequilibrium conditions

A new and general approach is proposed to analyze the dynamics of a colloidal particle interacting with a nearby wall. This analysis can be used to determine the acting forces even when the system is non-stationary. As an illustration, we use total internal reflection microscopy to investigate the forces acting on a polystyrene sulfate latex particle as it is receding from a charged glass surface.

A note on the thermodynamics of dimanganese and dirhenium decacarbonyls

The results of low temperature heat capacity studies on Mn₂(CO)₁₀(s) and Re₂(CO)₁₀(s) are compared with literature reports. It is shown that the values of vaporization enthalpies and entropies correspond with those of the low temperature stable phase.

Pentafluorethylschwefeltrifluorid: Synthese und Reaktionen

Pentafluorethyl Sulfurtrifluoride: Synthesis and Reactions By oxidation of (C₂F₅S?)₂ ( 1 ) with AgF₂ at 0°C a mixture of C₂F₅SF₃ ( 2 ) and C₂F₅SF₅ ( 3 ) besides C₂F₅S(O)F ( 4 ) is formed. With elemental fluorine only 3 is isolated, an intermediate in this reaction is (C₂F₅SF₄?)₂ ( 5 ). At ?40 to ?30°C the mixture of 2, 3 and 4 was reacted with TASF and AsF₅, to give TAS⁺ C₂F₅SF₄^? ( 6 ), TAS⁺ C₂F₅S(O)F₂^? ( 7 ) and C₂F₅SF₂⁺AsF₆^? ( 8 ), respectively. While 6 and 7 decompose rapidly in solution even at low temperatures, of thermally stable 8 the solid state structure was determined by x-ray diffraction.
