Selenium isotope effects in the reduction of sodium selenite and of sodium selenate have been studied. Rate constant ratios for the 76Se and 82Se species have been determined for the reactions Seiv → Se0 (1.017), Sevi → Seiv (1.018), and Se0 → Seiv (1.010) at room temperature. Theoretical predictions of the first two ratios, from the use of models in which the rate-controlling steps are assumed to be Se—O bond cleavages in SeO32− and SeO42−, respectively, lead to predictions in good agreement with experiment.

A general description of creep and plastic deformation based on overlay models is presented. This includes the description of time effects during plastic deformation at room temperature. A detailed procedure to obtain the model parameters is also discussed. The description has been evaluated for a large number of uniaxial and biaxial load histories on thin walled tubes. The materials involved are a 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel stabilized with Niobium (WN 1.6770) and a 304 stainless steel (WN 1.4948). The theoretical predictions of the plastic deformations are found to be sufficiently accurate. The evaluation of the phenomenological description for creep shows a fairly good agreement with the real creep deformation process. Special attention requires the description of softening due to microstructural changes.

We have investigated the dynamics of the title reaction with the Gray and Balint-Kurti approach, which propagates real wave packets (WP) under an arccos mapping of a scaled and shifted Hamiltonian. We have considered H 2 rotational quanta j=0 and 1 and obtained reaction probabilities using reactant coordinates and the flux analysis. We have calculated accurate reaction probabilities for total angular momentum quantum number J=0, centrifugal-sudden probabilities for J>0, cross sections, and the room temperature rate constant. The present cross sections are in good agreement with previous quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) results and the theoretical rate constant compares rather well with that observed. WP snapshots show that the reaction occurs via a C2v insertion mechanism, confirming previous QCT calculations.

A kinematically admissible velocity field is derived for a proposed arbitrarily inclined triangular UBET element. The method is applied to combined forging to show the flexibility of application. From the derived velocity fields upper-bound loads on the punch and deformed configurations are determined by optimizing some given parameters related with geometry and velocity field. Experiments on combined forging are carried out with annealed Al-2024 billets at room temperature for several punch shapes. The theoretical predictions both in the forming load and deformed configuration are in good agreement with the experimental results. It is shown that arbitrarily inclined triangular elements proposed in this work can effectively be used for the prediction of the forming load and deformation in combined forging and can be applied to other forming processes with flexibility.

The rate constant for the reaction of hydrogen atoms, generated by electrical discharge, with ethane and propane has been studied in tubular and perfectly stirred open reactors. Measurements are made with a new and very sensitive method of analysis of the hydrogen atom concentration. The results obtained near room temperature are in good agreement with those of other authors operating at much higher temperatures. The following estimates may be made:[Formula: see text]

ABSTRACTThe time and power dependence of the optical poling process of an azo chromophore in the PMMA matrix at room temperature is investigated. A model previously proposed is used to account for the writing process of the optical poling of the chromophore/PMMA system. Theoretical predictions of the growth rate and the plateau SHG intensity are found to be in good agreement with the experimental result.

IntroductionThere have been several t.e.m. studies (1,2,3,4) of the dislocation arrangements in the matrix and around the particles in dispersion strengthened single crystals deformed in single slip. Good agreement has been obtained in general between the observed structures and the various theories for the flow stress and work hardening of this class of alloy. There has been though some difficulty in obtaining an accurate picture of these arrangements in the case when the obstacles are large (of the order of several 1000's Å). This is due to both the physical loss of dislocations from the thin foil in its preparation and to rearrangement of the structure on unloading and standing at room temperature under the influence of the very high localised stresses in the vicinity of the particles (2,3).This contribution presents part of a study of the Cu-Cr-SiO2 system where age hardening from the Cu-Cr and dispersion strengthening from Cu-Sio2 is combined.

When CoSi2 is grown onto a Si(111) surface it can form in two distinct orientations. A-type CoSi2 has the same orientation as the Si substrate and B-type is rotated by 180° degrees about the [111] surface normal.One method of producing epitaxial CoSi2 is to deposit Co at room temperature and anneal to 650°C.If greater than 10Å of Co is deposited then both A and B-type CoSi2 form via a number of intermediate silicides .The literature suggests that the co-existence of A and B-type CoSi2 is in some way linked to these intermediate silicides analogous to the NiSi2/Si(111) system. The phase which forms prior to complete CoSi2 formation is CoSi. This paper is a crystallographic analysis of the CoSi2/Si(l11) bicrystal using a theoretical method developed by Pond. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to verify the theoretical predictions and to characterise the defect structure at the interface.

Diatomic carbon (C<sub>2</sub>) is historically an elusive chemical species. It has long been believed that the generation of C<sub>2 </sub>requires extremely high “physical” energy, such as an electric carbon arc or multiple photon excitation, and so it has been the general consensus that the inherent nature of C<sub>2 </sub><i>in the ground state </i>is experimentally inaccessible. Here, we present the first “chemical” synthesis of C<sub>2 </sub>in a flask at <i>room temperature or below</i>, providing the first experimental evidence to support theoretical predictions that (1) C<sub>2 </sub>has a singlet biradical character with a quadruple bond, thus settling a long-standing controversy between experimental and theoretical chemists, and that (2) C<sub>2 </sub>serves as a molecular element in the formation of sp<sup>2</sup>-carbon allotropes such as graphite, carbon nanotubes and C<sub>60</sub>.

In this work, the effective mechanical reinforcement of polymeric nanocomposites containing spherical particle fillers is predicted based on a generalized analytical three-phase-series-parallel model, considering the concepts of percolation and the interfacial glassy region. While the concept of percolation is solely taken as a contribution of the filler-network, we herein show that the glassy interphase between filler and matrix, which is often in the nanometers range, is also to be considered while interpreting enhanced mechanical properties of particulate filled polymeric nanocomposites. To demonstrate the relevance of the proposed generalized equation, we have fitted several experimental results which show a good agreement with theoretical predictions. Thus, the approach presented here can be valuable to elucidate new possible conceptual routes for the creation of new materials with fundamental technological applications and can open a new research avenue for future studies.

The susceptibility to bias error of two methods for computing transfer (frequency response) functions from spectra produced by FFT-based analyzers using random excitation has been investigated. Results from tests with an FFT analyzer on a single degree-of-freedom system set up on an analogue computer show good agreement with the theoretical predictions. It has been shown that, around resonance, the bias error in the transfer function estimate H2 (Syy/Sxy*) is considerably less than that in the more commonly used estimate, H1 (Sxy/Sxx). The record length, and hence the testing time, required for a given accuracy is reduced by over 50 percent if the H2 calculation procedure is used. The analysis has also shown that if shaker excitation is used on lightly damped structures with low modal mass, it is important to minimize the mass of the force gage and the moving element of the shaker.
