The work described in this and the following paper is a continuation of that in parts I and II, devoted to elucidation of the mechanism of the reactions of methylene with chloroalkanes, with particular reference to the reactivities of singlet and triplet methylene in abstraction and insertion processes. The products of the reaction between methylene, prepared by the photolysis of ketene, and 1-chloropropane have been identified and estimated and their dependence on reactant pressures, photolysing wavelength and presence of foreign gases (oxygen and carbon mon­oxide) has been investigated. Both insertion and abstraction mechanisms contribute significantly to the over-all reaction, insertion being relatively much more important than with chloroethane. This type of process appears to be confined to singlet methylene. If, as seems likely, there is no insertion into C—Cl bonds under our conditions (see part IV), insertion into C2—H and C3—H bonds occurs in statistical ratio, approximately. On the other hand, the chlorine substituent reduces the probability of insertion into C—H bonds in its vicinity. As in the chloroethane system, both species of methylene show a high degree of selectivity in their abstraction reactions. We find that k S Cl / k S H >7.7, k T Cl / k T H < 0.14, where the k ’s are rate constants for abstraction, and the super- and subscripts indicate the species of methylene and the type of atom abstracted, respectively. Triplet methylene is discriminating in hydrogen abstraction from 1-C 3 H 7 Cl, the overall rates for atoms attached to C1, C2, C3 being in the ratios 2.63:1:0.

The delay in arrival times between high and low energy photons from cosmic sources can be used to test the violation of the Lorentz invariance (LIV), predicted by some quantum gravity theories, and to constrain its characteristic energy scale EQG that is of the order of the Planck energy. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and blazars are ideal for this purpose thanks to their broad spectral energy distribution and cosmological distances: at first order approximation, the constraints on EQG are proportional to the photon energy separation and the distance of the source. However, the LIV tiny contribution to the total time delay can be dominated by intrinsic delays related to the physics of the sources: long GRBs typically show a delay between high and low energy photons related to their spectral evolution (spectral lag). Short GRBs have null intrinsic spectral lags and are therefore an ideal tool to measure any LIV effect. We considered a sample of 15 short GRBs with known redshift observed by Swift and we estimate a limit on EQG ≳ 1.5 × 1016 GeV. Our estimate represents an improvement with respect to the limit obtained with a larger (double) sample of long GRBs and is more robust than the estimates on single events because it accounts for the intrinsic delay in a statistical sense.

The technique of time resolved frequency modulation (FM) spectroscopy has been shown to provide a very sensitive means to detect small radicals behind shock waves. Features of high temperature FM spectroscopy behind shock waves will be discussed and a general signal conversion procedure to carry out quantitative concentration measurements will be presented.Using a high modulation frequency, a high modulation index and high total optical power, singlet methylene radicals (α

AbstractPhotoluminescence (PL) of modulation-doped Al0.22Ga0.78N/GaN heterostructures was investigated. The PL peak related to recombination between the two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) and photoexcited holes is located at 3.448 eV at 40 K, which is 45 meV below the free excitons (FE) emission in GaN. The peak can be observed at temperatures as high as 80 K. The intensity of the 2DEG PL peak is enhanced significantly by incorporating a thin Al0.12Ga0.88N layer into the GaN layer near the heterointerface to suppress the diffusion of photoexcited holes. The energy separation of the 2DEG peak and the GaN FE emission decreases with increasing temperature. Meanwhile, the 2DEG peak energy increases with increasing excitation intensity. These results are attributed to the screening effect of electrons on the bending of the conduction band at the heterointerface, which becomes stronger when temperature or excitation intensity is increased.
