L-p Wiener-Tauberian theorems for M(2)

We prove two sided and one sided analogues of the Wiener-Tauberian theorem for the Euclidean motion group, M(2).

Reactive characteristics of narrow germanium p-n junctions in the breakdown region

An inductive behaviour observed in germanium p-n junctions in the breakdown region is reported.

Reverse bias capacitance measurements on copper-doped germanium p-n junctions in the breakdown region

Results of measurements at a high frequency on reverse bias capacitance of copper-doped germanium junctions are reported. Phenomenal increase in capacitance is found in the breakdown region, particularly at low temperatures.

Electron-hole recombination in cobalt-doped p-type germanium

The recombination properties of cobalt centers in p-type germanium containing cobalt in the concentration range 1014 to 1016 atoms/cm3 have been investigated. The measurement of lifetime has been carried out by steady-state photoconductivity and photo-magneto-electric methods in the temperature range 145 to 300°K. The cross-sections Sno (electron capture cross-section at neutral centers). Sn- (electron capture cross-section at singly negatively charged centers) and their temperature variations have been estimated by the analysis of the lifetime data on the basis of Sah-Shockley's multi-level formula. The value of Sno is (15±5).10-16 cm2 and is temperature independent. The value of Sn- is ≈4·10-16 cm2 around 225°K and it increases with increase of temperature. The possible mechanisms for capture at neutral and repulsive centers are discussed and a summary of the capture cross-sections for cobalt centers is given. A comparison of the cross-section values of cobalt and their temperature variations with those of the related impurities-manganese, iron and nickel-in germanium has been made.

Synthesis of cyclohexylideneacetaldehyde 2-, 3- and 4-methylcyclohexylideneacetaldehyde

Cyclohexanone and 2-, 3- and 4-methylcyclohexanones have been condensed with acetylene to give the respective 1-ethinylcyclohexanola. The 1-ethinylcyclohexanols were hydrogenated to the respective 1-vinyl- and 1-ethylcyclohexanols. The 1-vinylcyclohexanols have been treated with phosphorus tribromide to give the corresponding rearranged β-cyclohexylidenethyl bromides which have been converted to the pyridinium salts. The latter were treated with p-nitrosodimethylaniline and alkali (Krohnke's method) to give the corresponding nitrones which were hydrolyzed to the corresponding aldehydes. The 1-ethinyl-, 1-vinyl- and 1-ethylcyclohexanols prepared were subjected to pharmacological tests.

Studies on phosphorus oxychloride and aluminium chloride complex

1. Anhydrous aluminium chloride reacts with phosphorus oxychloride to give a complex with a composition AlCl3.2 POCl3 which can be prepared in the form of a free flowing powder. 2. The phosphorus oxychloride-aluminium chloride complex in nitrobenzene dissociates into AlCl3.POCl3 and POCl3 as indicated by the cryoscopic measurements. 3. The solution of the complex in nitrobenzene has a higher specific conductivity than the corresponding electrical conductivities of individual components. Similar higher electrical conductance is observed when the two components are mixed in nitrobenzene in different proportions. 4.When a solution of anhydrous aluminium chloride in nitrobenzene is titrated conductometrically against a solution of phosphorus oxychloride in nitrobenzene, a limiting value in the conductivity is reached at point corresponding to the molecular composition, the components in the ratio of 1:2 AlCl3: POCl3 in solution. 5. The absorption maxima of the complex in nitrobenzene solution differ from the absorption maximum of the individual components.
