Use of 45° pulse pair as a filter for pure-phase two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy

Conventionally two-dimensional NMR spectra are recorded in the absolute-intensity mode (1-4). It has recently been demonstrated that absorption-mode 2D spectra have much higher resolution and are the preferred mode of presentation, especially for 2D spectra of biomolecules (5-7). Indeed, any experimental scheme which yields phasemixed lineshapes is subject to modification to yield pure-phase spectra, even at the expense of intensity and anomalous multiplet structure (8-10). For this purpose two types of filters are already known: the z filter (9, 20) and the purging pulse (8, 10). In this note, we propose a 45” pulse pair as a filter for obtaining pure-phase 2D spectra, mainly for experiments in which the above filters do not yield pure-phase spectra.

Sonochemical synthesis of Ce1-xFexO2-delta (0 <= x <= 0.45) and Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O2-delta nanocrystallites: oxygen storage material, CO oxidation and water gas shift catalyst

Nanocrystalline Ce1-xFexO2-delta (0 <= x <= 0.45) and Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O2-delta of similar to 4 nm sizes were synthesized by a sonochemical method using diethyletriamine (DETA) as a complexing agent. Compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ce1-xFexO2-delta (0 <= x <= 0.45) and Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O2-delta crystallize in fluorite structure where Fe is in +3, Ce is in +4 and Pd is in +2 oxidation state. Due to substitution of smaller Fe3+ ion in CeO2, lattice oxygen is activated and 33% Fe substituted CeO2 i.e. Ce0.67Fe0.33O1.835 reversibly releases 0.31O] up to 600 degrees C which is higher or comparable to the oxygen storage capacity of CeO2-ZrO2 based solid solutions (Catal. Today 2002, 74, 225-234). Due to interaction of redox potentials of Pd2+/0(0.89 V) and Fe3+/2+ (0.77 V) with Ce4+/3+ (1.61 V), Pd ion accelerates the electron transfer from Fe2+ to Ce4+ in Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O1.815, making it a high oxygen storage material as well as a highly active catalyst for CO oxidation and water gas shift reaction. The activation energy for CO oxidation with Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O1.815 is found to be as low as 38 kJ mol(-1). Ce0.67Fe0.33O1.835 and Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O1.815 have also shown high activity for the water gas shift reaction. CO conversion to CO2 is 100% H-2 specific with these catalysts and conversion rate was found to be as high 27.2 mu moles g(-1) s(-1) and the activation energy was found to be 46.4 kJ mol(-1) for Ce0.65Fe0.33Pd0.02O1.815.

Method for measurement of the angles of 90-, 45-, 45-deg and 60-, 30-, 90-deg prisms

A simple technique is devised to measure the angles of 90-, 45-, 45-deg and 60-, 30-, 90-deg prisms without using expensive spectrometers, autocollimators, and angle gauges. The method can be extended to unpolished and opaque prisms made of materials other then glass. (C) 1997 Society of Photo-Optical instrumentation Engineers.

Role of rigidity and temperature in the kinetics of photodarkening in Ge(x)As((45-x))Se(55) thin films

We present insightful results on the kinetics of photodarkening (PD) in Ge(x)As(45-x)Se(55) glasses at the ambient and liquid helium temperatures when the network rigidity is increased by varying x from 0 to 16. We observe a many fold change in PD and its kinetics with decreasing network flexibility and temperature. Moreover, temporal evolution of PD shows a dramatic change with increasing x.

Controlling phase separation in La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y=0.45) epitaxial thin films by strain disorder

Present study reveals that the length-scale of phase separation in La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 thin films can be controlled by strain disorder invoked during the growth and relaxation process of film. Strain disorder provides an additional degree of freedom to tune colossal magnetoresistance. Magneto-transport measurements following cooling and heating in unequal fields protocol demonstrate that coherent strain stabilizes antiferromagnetic insulating phase, while strain disorder favors ferromagnetic metallic phase. Compared to bulk, antiferromagnetic-insulating phase freezes at lower temperatures in strain disordered films. Raman spectroscopy confirms the coexistence of charge-ordered-insulating and ferromagnetic-metallic phases which are structurally dissimilar and possess P2(1)/m and R-3C like symmetries, respectively.

Analisa, por outro lado, como as Constituições da Argentina, Peru e do Brasil foram alteradas procurando ou não trazer para os textos constitucionais, documentos internacionais ratificados pelos Estados Nacionais. Entre os objetivos propostos, o estudo buscou desenvolver a evolução histórica dos direitos humanos, dos tratados que versam sobre o mesmo tema, bem como nos mecanismos de proteção dos direitos humanos no âmbito internacional. Relata as nuances - a construção, os avanços e limites - dos tratados sobre direitos humanos nos processos constitucionais, especialmente no "Caso Brasileiro".

基于红外热象技术的金属材料疲劳性能研究方法

金属材料的疲劳极限或疲劳寿命等性能是长寿命机械和结构抗疲劳设计的基本数据,探讨效率高、成本低而又准确的试验新方法,成为相关研究者十分感兴趣的课题。材料在循环载荷作用下产生的塑性变形经不断累积会引起疲劳破坏,这个过程所耗的塑性功绝大部分以热量形式耗散,因此寻找热耗散温度变化过程与疲劳极限及寿命之间的关系很有意义。就此问题,文中引入利用先进的红外热成象技术确定金属材料疲劳性能的试验研究方法,主要从原理和试验方法两方面进行介绍,并对45钢的试验过程和现象作较为详细地阐述,得到较准确的疲劳极限值和基于红外热象技术确定疲劳寿命的重要参量M。
