A Bond-Cell Method for Complex Molecules and Metals

Description: This technical report introduces "some approximations into the basic quantum mechanical theory" so that the theory of the covalent bond and the molecular orbital method "can be combined into one which will yield quantitative rather than qualitative binding energies and cohesive energies and also distinct energy levels and band structure." This approach will provide a common method "suitable to both solid state physicists and physical chemists, for calculating the energy levels in metals and com… more

Annealing of Radiation Induced Defects in Fused Silica

Description: Technical report describes how glasses and crystals subjected to ionizing radiation develop absorption bands and become colored. The coloring of defects can be used to determine how nuclear reactor induced defects anneal out or disappear as an irradiated sample is heated.

The Temperature Dependence of Birefringence in Irradiated Polyethylene

Description: Technical report on a study where the birefringence of irradiated polyethylene was observed as a function of temperature. The data is consistent with a mechanism in which crosslinking limits the growth and annealing of crystallites. Crosslinks formed in material which was oriented at the time the crosslinks were formed, results in an oriented gel. This effect explains the birefringence and the persistence of nucleation sites at high temperatures.

Serum Binding of Vitamin B12 Analogues: Identification of Binding Groups in the B12 Molecule

Description: In this technical report studies on the sites in the porphyyrin moiety for the binding of vitamin B12 by serum proteins are presented. "The binding capacity of serum for radio-hydroxocobalamin is compared to that for radio-cyanocobalamin, and th effect of subsequent binding of radio-cyanocobalamin by prior addition of non-radioactive analogues and sodium cyanide are presented.

A New Chlorophyll from Green Bacteria

Description: The green photosynthetic bacteria are characterized by the presence of either chlorobium chlorophyll (bacterioviridin)-65o or chlorobium chlorophyll-66o (numerical designation based on the position of the red-absorption peak in ether) z. Most strains of Chlorobium contain chlorophyll-66o which has its major red peak between 74 ° and 75 ° m/~ in FiFo. KATZ AND WASSINK z first reported an additional minor absorption peak at 81o mF for Chlorobium limicola in vivo and a corresponding minor peak at … more
