External electric or magnetic fields can hybridize rotational states of individual dipolar molecules and thus create pendular states whose field-dependent eigenproperties differ qualitatively from those of a rotor or an oscilator. The pendular eigenfunctions are directional, so the molecular axis id oriented. Here we use quantum statistical mechanics to evaluate ensamble properties of the pendular states. For linear molecules, the partition function and the averages that determine the thermodynamic functions can be specified by two reduced variables involving the dipole moment, field strength, rotational constant, and temperature. We examine a simple approximation due to Pitzer that employs the classical partition function with quantum corrections. This provides explicit analytic formulas which permit thermodynamic properties to be evaluated to good accuracy without computing energy levels. As applications we evaluate the high-field average orientation of the molecular dipoles and field-induced shifts of chemical equilibria.

AbstractA formal expansion of the CRM in powers of a small parameter is presented. The terms of the expansion are products of matrices. Inverses are interpreted as effects of cascades.It will be shown that this allows for the separation of the different contributions to the populations, thus providing a natural classification scheme for processes involving atoms in plasmas. Sum rules can be formulated, allowing the population of the levels, in some simple cases, to be related in a transparent way to the quantum numbers.

Workman and Langmore have recently proposed a procedure for isolating particular chromatin fragments. The method requires restriction endonuclease cutting of the chromatin and a probe, their digestion with two exonucleases which leave complimentary single strand termini and low temperature hybridization of these. We here report simple electron microscopic monitoring of the four reactions involved.Our test material was ϕX-174 RF DNA which is cut once by restriction endonuclease Xho I. The conversion of circles to linear molecules was followed in Kleinschmidt spreads. Plate I shows a circular and a linear DNA molecule. The rate of cutting is shown in Figure 1.After completion of the endonuclease cutting, one portion of the DNA was treated with exonuclease III, an enzyme known to digest the 3' terminals of double helical DNA. Aliquots when examined in the electron microscope reveal a decreasing length of double helix and increasing bushes at the ends.
