Carbon-13-carbon-13 Coupling Constants in Fluorene and O-Methylbenzene Derivatives

Description: A model system to calculate single-path coupling constant was devised to see if the couplings are additive in a system which has a dual-pathway. The system chosen was o-methyl-13C-benzoic acid. Because of anomalies in the data, the series was extended. Hybridization of the label appeared to have relatively little effect, and the conformation of the substituents very important.

Oxygen Quenching Errors in Liquid Scintillation Counting of C14O2 Following Schoniger Flask Combustion

Description: Kalberer and Rutschmann (Helv, Chim, Act, 44 : 1956, 1961) described a method of estimating quantitatively C-14 compounds on a paper carrier, for example chromatograms. The sample is combusted in oxygen, the C14O2 produced being absorbed in ethanolamine solution and counted by liquid scintillation techniques. However, errors occur where there are deviations from their experimental conditions, such as in counting equipment or weight combusted, owing to differing concentrations of dissolved oxyge… more

Niobium Phase Diagrams : Manuscript Report on Niobium-Carbon System

Description: Abstract: "The niobium-carbon system has been determined by X-ray and metallographic examination of sintered and arc-cast alloys. Two carbides exist: hexagonal Nb2C with a limited range of homogeneity, and cubic NbC with a solubility range from 8.25 to 10.25 weight per cent carbon. Dilute alloys freeze by eutectic reaction at 2230 C. The solubility of carbon in niobium is 0.80 at the eutectic temperature, but this decreases rapidly with temperature. Metallographic evidence indicates a peritecti… more

A theoretical study of a carbon lattice system for lithium intercalated carbon anodes

Description: A theoretical study was performed using computational chemistry to describe the intermolecular forces between graphite layers as well as spacing and conformation. It was found that electron correlation and a diffuse basis set were important for this calculation. In addition, the high reactivity of edge sites in lithium intercalated carbon anodes was also investigated. In this case, the reactive sites appear to strongly correlate with the relative distribution of the total atomic spin densities … more

Stability of eutectic interface during directional solidification

Description: Directional solidification of eutectic alloys shows different types of eutectic morphologies. These include lamellar, rod, oscillating and tilting modes. The growth of these morphologies occurs with a macroscopically planar interface. However, under certain conditions, the planar eutectic front becomes unstable and gives rise to a cellular or a dendritic structure. This instability leads to the cellular/dendritic structure of either a primary phase or a two-phase structure. The objective of thi… more

Estimation of brassylic acid by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Description: The main focus of this work is to estimate Brassylic Acid (BA) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). BA is a product obtained from the oxidative cleavage of Erucic Acid (EA). BA has various applications for making nylons and high performance polymers. BA is a 13 carbon compound with two carboxylic acid functional groups at the terminal end. BA has a long hydrocarbon chain that makes the molecule less sensitive to some of the characterization techniques. Although BA can be characte… more

[Chemistry Thesis] Part 2: High Intensity Light Sources

Description: A stable carbon arc operated in controlled atmosphere is described. The arc was designed to serve as a light source during lifetime studies of the B/sup 2/ SIGMA state of the CN molecule. The CN radiation from the plasma of the arc was investigated and found to have a brightness temperature of 5500 icient laborato K at lambda 3883 A. This is considerably higher than an estimate of the value required for lifetime measurements. The stability of the carbon arc under various conditions is discussed… more

Inelastic neutron studies of the low energy phonon excitations in the RENi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C superconductors (RE=Lu,Y,Ho,Er)

Description: We studied the low-energy phonon excitations for wavevectors close to the Fermi surface nesting vector {xi}{sub m} = 0.55 a vector. We find that above T{sub c} the frequencies of the {Delta}{sub 4} [{zeta}00] lowest-lying optical and acoustic phonon modes decrease with decreasing temperature, for {xi} close to {xi}{sub m}, and there is a shift of intensity from the upper to the lower mode, an effect characteristic of coupled modes. From approximately 120K down to temperatures in the vicinity of… more

Anisotropic superconducting and normal state magnetic properties of single crystals of RNi*2*B*2*C compounds (R = Y, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm)

Description: The interaction of superconductivity with magnetism has been one of the most interesting and important phenomena in solid state physics since the 1950`s when small amounts of magnetic impurities were incorporated in superconductors. The discovery of the magnetic superconductors RNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C (R = rare earth, Y) offers a new system to study this interaction. The wide ranges of superconducting transition (T{sub c}) and antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering temperatures (T{sub N}) (0 K {le} T{sub … more

Multicomponent-Multiphase Equation of State for Carbon

Description: The unique properties of carbon have made it both a fascinating and an important subject of experimental and theoretical studies for many years [1]-[4]. The contrast between its best-known elemental forms, graphite and diamond, is particularly striking. Graphite is black, has a rather low density and high compressibility (close to that of magnesium), and is greasy enough to be useful as a lubricant and in pencil leads. Diamond is brilliantly translucent, 60% more dense than graphite, less compr… more

Reduction of Carbon Dioxide inAqueous Solutions by IonizingRadiation

Description: The question of the conditions under which living matter originated on the surface of the earth is still a subject limited largely to speculation. The speculation has a greater chance of approaching the truth insofar as it includes and is based upon the ever wider variety of established scientific fact. One of the purposes of the herein reported observation was to add another fact to the ever increasing information which might have any bearing upon this most interesting question. It is not our … more
