Abstract We present a state-to-state dynamical calculation on the exchange reaction N+N2→N2+N and the non-reaction N+N2→N+N2 based on the potential energy surface published by Mankodi et al. The calculation is performed using the time-independent quantum reaction scattering program. The reactivity of both reaction processes is discussed by reaction properties of vibrational quantum numbers v=0-3 and rotational quantum numbers j=0-32 (such as cumulative reaction probability, state-to-state reaction probabilities, and cross sections of N exchange, state-to-state rate constants for both reactions). The threshold energy of the exchange reaction can decrease with the decrease of vibrational excitation or the increase of rotational excitation. By using the J-shifting approximation, rate constants are reported for both reactions. The comparison of the presented total rate constant of the N+N2 exchange reaction with the previous results shows that the quantum effect is not negligible at low temperatures. For the exchange reaction, the rate constant at 500K decreases by about 10 orders of magnitude when the vibrational level of N2 increases from 0 to 7, indicating that the rate constants are sensitive to the initial vibrational level of N2 at low temperatures. For non-reactive collisions, the rate constants have little effect on the initial ro-vibrational levels of N2 at low temperatures.

The azomethane-sensitized pyrolysis of ethane was studied at low temperatures from 280 to 350 °C. Measurements were made of initial rates of formation of methane, nitrogen, and butane. From the rate of nitrogen production the rate constant for the azomethane decomposition into 2CH3 + N2 was[Formula: see text]A similar study of the propane decomposition, at temperatures from 260 to 300 °C, led to the value[Formula: see text]in satisfactory agreement. The rate of decomposition of the n-propyl radical into CH3 and C2H4 was obtained by comparing the rates of formation of C2H4 and n-C6H14; the rate constant was[Formula: see text]The activation energy of 31.4 kcal/mole, together with that of 8.9 kcal/mole for the reverse reaction obtained by Brinton, leads to a value of 20.3 kcal/mole for the dissociation energy of n-CH3—CH CH2 at 0 °K, and to a value of 22.8 at 25 °C. The corresponding values for the heats of formation 2of the n-propyl radical are 28.4 kcal/mole at 0 °K, and 23.1 kcal/mole at 25 °C. The dissociation energy of n-CH3CH2CH2—H is deduced to be 99.4 kcal/mole at 0 °K and 99.9 kcal/mole at 25 °C. An energy diagram is constructed for the various reactions of n-C3H7 and i-C3H7.

A few years ago results on cryoprotection of L-valine were reported, where the values of the critical fluence De i.e, the electron exposure which decreases the intensity of the diffraction reflections by a factor e, amounted to the order of 2000 + 1000 e/nm2. In the meantime a discrepancy arose, since several groups published De values between 100 e/nm2 and 1200 e/nm2 /1 - 4/. This disagreement and particularly the wide spread of the results induced us to investigate more thoroughly the behaviour of organic crystals at very low temperatures during electron irradiation.For this purpose large L-valine crystals with homogenuous thickness were deposited on holey carbon films, thin carbon films or Au-coated holey carbon films. These specimens were cooled down to nearly liquid helium temperature in an electron microscope with a superconducting lens system and irradiated with 200 keU-electrons. The progress of radiation damage under different preparation conditions has been observed with series of electron diffraction patterns and direct images of extinction contours.

Medium Dose

The goal of imaging the finest detail possible in biological specimens leads to contradictory requirements for the choice of an electron dose. The dose should be as low as possible to minimize object damage, yet as high as possible to optimize image statistics. For specimens that are protected by low temperatures or for which the low resolution associated with negative stain is acceptable, the first condition may be partially relaxed, allowing the use of (for example) 6 to 10 e/Å2. However, this medium dose is marginal for obtaining the contrast transfer function (CTF) of the microscope, which is necessary to allow phase corrections to the image. We have explored two parameters that affect the CTF under medium dose conditions.Figure 1 displays the CTF for carbon (C, row 1) and triafol plus carbon (T+C, row 2). For any column, the images to which the CTF correspond were from a carbon covered hole (C) and the adjacent triafol plus carbon support film (T+C), both recorded on the same micrograph; therefore the imaging parameters of defocus, illumination angle, and electron statistics were identical.

Experiments have been carried out on the 3 MeV electron microscope in Toulouse. The low temperature straining holder has been previously described Images given by an image intensifier are recorded on magnetic tape.The microtensile niobium samples are cut in a plane with the two operative slip directions [111] and lying in the foil plane. The tensile axis is near [011].Our results concern:- The transition temperature of niobium near 220 K: at this temperature and below an increasing difference appears between the mobilities of the screw and edge portions of dislocations loops. Source operation and interactions between screw dislocations of different slip system have been recorded.
