ABSTRACTSeveral series of optical absorption lines are found in the wavenumber range 190–270 1/cm in as-grown crytals of n-type Si involving oxygen and nitrogen simultaneously. They are related to the electronic transitions associated with five kinds of shallow donors each consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms (N-O complex). The analysis of the generation kinetics shows that the complex of the main type consists of one oxygen atom and two or three pairs of nitrogen atoms.

The optical absorption spectra of arsenic and phosphorus donor impurities in silicon have been studied under conditions of improved resolution. Absorption lines due to transitions from the impurity ground state to the excited states 2p0, 2p±, 3p0, 3p±, 4p0, 4 p±, and 5p0, and 5p± have been observed at 4.2° K. The relative intensities of some of these absorption lines are compared with existing experimental and theoretical estimates. The contribution of instrumental broadening to the observed line widths is assessed and natural line widths are estimated. The estimates indicate values for the natural line widths which are much less than those previously reported. For phosphorus impurity, the natural line widths are estimated to be less than 0.08 × 10−3 electron volts full width at half-maximum. The possibility of concentration broadening is discussed in connection with the arsenic data.

The integrated values of the electron population, electron energy, nucleus–electron potential energy interaction, dipole moment and volume of the oxygen atoms, and the main properties of the O—C bond critical points, were determined by employing the theory of atoms in molecules and 6-31++G**//6-31G* wave functions for a series of 25 unbranched alkyl monoethers. These results were used to assess the degree of approximate transferability of the oxygen atom along this series in terms of the particular alkyl radicals bonded to it. It has been found that a set of six different oxygen atoms is necessary to classify all the computed values. It can be established that the oxygen atoms bonded to propyl and larger radicals can be treated, in practice, as a transferable fragment, while those bonded to at least one smaller radical are specific. Though the total HF energy and the available experimental heats of formation are well fitted by a traditional additivity scheme that distinguishes only among O, CH2, and CH3 units, it has been found that the energy properties are influenced by the size of the molecule.Key words: transferability, AIM theory, ethers.

The interstellar medium of LMC2, a well studied supershell in the Large Magellanic Cloud, has been probed in UV and optical absorption lines. The data allow to derive the kinematics, abundances and depletions of gas clouds in this supershell. The relative gas-phase abundances of observed elements with respect to sulphur are useful to determine the origins of the supershell absorption-line clouds.

AO 0235+164 is a very compact, flat-spectrum radio source. It is identified with a BL Lac object, and has optical absorption-line systems at z = 0.524 and z = 0.852. A complex set of HI absorption lines is seen at z = 0.524 (932 MHz), and several of these lines change significantly in depth over periods of less than a year. This is the only known case of variable extragalactic absorption lines. A faint nebulosity 2 arcsec south of AO 0235 + 164 has an emission-line redshift of z = 0.52 and may be an intervening galaxy. The radio spectrum of this source (between major outbursts) is remarkably flat, with the total flux density staying between about 1 and 3 Jy over a range of at least 1000 in frequency. Such a flat spectrum would lead one to expect a complex, wavelength-dependent structure consisting of several components with different self-absorption frequencies. However, the observed radio structure of 0235+164 is about as simple as one could imagine – it is a nearly unresolved point source in VLBI experiments from 900 MHz to 22 GHz. Recent VLBI experiments at 6 and 13 cm have shown evidence for some elongation of the source in a generally NE-SW direction, but only at low contour levels (< 15% of the peak). The major portion of the flux density appears to come from a core which is unresolved in VLBI experiments over a range of ~ 25 in frequency.

β-Zn3(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/c with lattice parameters, a = 9.393(3) Å, b = 9.170(6) Å, c = 8.686(3) Å, β = 125.73(10)°, and Z = 4. The three independent cations are strongly ligated to 4, 5, and 5 oxygen atoms, with average Zn—O bond distances of 1.98 ± 0.09 Å, 2.10 ± 0.10 Å, and 2.08 ± 0.13 Å respectively. In addition there are two longer Zn—O distances of 2.51 Å and 2.55 Å in this structure. The PO4 groups exist as independent, nearly regular tetrahedra, with each oxygen atom ligated to two cations. Unlike the structures found for the α and γ phases of Zn3(PO4)2, which contain ribbons and sheets respectively as the basic cation coordination motif, the structure of β-Zn3(PO4)2 contains interconnected sheets.

ABSTRACTSeries of sharp optical absorption lines around 2200 cm-1 in GaP, 2000 cm-1 in GaAs, and 2300 cm-1 in InP are observed in bulk materials. They are shown to be due to stretching local modes of vibration of P-H or As-H bonds, the hydrogen sitting nearby an impurity or defect. The origin of the hydrogen contamination of the bulk materials is discussed.

α-Zn2V2O7 is monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 7.429(5), b = 8.340(3), c = 10.098(3) Å, β = 111.37(5)°, Z = 4 and space group C2/c. The structure was refined using a full matrix least-squares with 1034 reflections measured with a quarter-circle General Electric automatic X-ray diffractometer to a final R value of 0.066. The anion consists of a pair of VO4 tetrahedra sharing an oxygen atom which lies on a two-fold axis. The bridging V—O bond length is 1.775(4) Å while the three independent terminal ones are 1.728(4), 1.704(7), and 1.658(8) Å long. These bond lengths are consistent with the charge character around the individual oxygen atoms. The Zn ions are coordinated to five oxygen atoms with Zn—O bonds ranging from 1.973 to 2.088°Å. The structure is similar to that of α-CU2P2O7 and transforms to the thortvietite structure at about 615 °C.
