Dynamical and structural properties of dendrimer macromolecules

This work is devoted to the study of the dynamical and structural properties of dendrimers. Different approaches were used: analytical theory, computer simulation results and experimental NMR studies. The theory of the relaxation spectrum of dendrimer macromolecules was developed. Relaxation processes which are manifest in the local orientational mobility of dendrimer macromolecules were established and studied in detail. Theoretical results and conclusions were used for experimental studies of carbosilane dendimers.

NMR in Crystals and Powders of Topazes with Different Colours

The present work is a part of the large project with purpose to investigate microstructure and electronic structure of natural topazes using NMR method. To reach this task we determined the relative contents of fluorine and hydrogen in crystals blue, colorless, wine and wine irradiated topazes. Then we determined the electric field gradients in site of aluminium atoms by NMR method, calculated EFG using ab initio method, and measured relaxation time dependence on heating temperature for blue, colorless, Swiss blue and sky blue topazes. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an effective method to investigate the local structure in the crystal. The NMR study of the single crystal gives detailed information especially about the local crystal structure. As a result of this work we have received practical data, which is possible to use in future for making personal dosimetry and for preparation of mullite, which is widely used in traditional and advanced ceramic materials.
