A raman spectroscopic determination of the interlamellar forces in crystalline n-alkanes and of the limiting elastic modulus Ec of polyethylene
1976
A simple treatment based on continuum mechanics shows that weak interlamellar forces in crystalline n-alkanes should result in a characteristic upward shift of the frequencies of the longitudinal acoustical (LA) modes, which is independent of the chain length and decreases inversely with the mode order. A raman spectroscopic determination of the LA mode frequencies of a series of different n-alkanes confirms the theoretical conclusion and permits a derivation of a force constant characteristic of the interlamellar forces. The discussion results in a new formula valid for the LA mode frequencies of the orthorhombic n-alkanes in the acoustical limit and yields a new determination of the limit…
On the Kneser property for reaction–diffusion equations in some unbounded domains with an -valued non-autonomous forcing term
2012
Abstract In this paper, we prove the Kneser property for a reaction–diffusion equation on an unbounded domain satisfying the Poincare inequality with an external force taking values in the space H − 1 . Using this property of solutions we check also the connectedness of the associated global pullback attractor. We study also similar properties for systems of reaction–diffusion equations in which the domain is the whole R N . Finally, the results are applied to a generalized logistic equation.
Raman spectroscopy of formic acid and its dimers isolated in low temperature argon matrices
2009
Raman spectroscopy combined with matrix isolation technique was employed to study formic acid monomer and its dimers. Nine fundamentals of the HCOOH monomer were identified. Additionally, the OH torsion overtone is observed and it is engaged in Fermi resonance with the δCOH mode. Several bands of the cyclic (C2h) dimer were identified and assigned. The less stable open form (Cs) of the dimer was also present in the experiment. Three intermolecular modes for the cyclic and one mode for the open dimer were found in the low frequency region. The experimental studies were supported by harmonic and anharmonic DFT calculations.
Photolysis of HCOOH monomer and dimer in solid argon: Raman characterization of in situ formed molecular complexes
2010
Raman spectroscopy combined with the matrix isolation technique was employed to study the 193-nm photodecomposition products of formic acid in an argon matrix. The Raman-active fundamentals belonging to the CO(2) + H(2) and CO + H(2)O photoproducts were assigned. Also, bands due to Fermi resonance between the stretching vibration (nu(1)) and the overtone of the bending mode (2nu(2)) of CO(2) were identified. Both ortho- and para-H(2) molecules were identified from their rotational lines S(0)(1) and S(0)(0), respectively. These bands appeared upon matrix annealing as well as after prolonged photolysis. Additionally, photolysis of FA dimers produces oxalic acid and its secondary photoproducts…
D2hTDS-ST Software for Stark Spectrum Simulation of X2Y4 Asymmetric-Top Molecules
2011
Abstract We present the D 2 h TDS-ST ( D 2 h -Top Data System for Stark effect) program suite with the aim to simulate Stark spectra of any IR active rovibrational polyad of X 2 Y 4 ( D 2 h ) asymmetric-top molecules. D 2 h TDS-ST consists in a series of FORTRAN programs called by scripts. For calculation of Stark spectra, we obtained the expressions of the dipole moment and polarizability operators of X 2 Y 4 molecules using a tensorial formalism. For convenience, we integrated the D 2 h TDS-ST programs into the D 2 h TDS package. The D 2 h TDS suite (including the D 2 h TDS-ST programs) is freely available at the URL: http://icb.u-bourgogne.fr/OMR/SMA/SHTDS/D2HTDS.html .
Nonrecursive multiple shock formation via four-wave mixing: theory and experiment
2002
We show theoretically and experimentally that a beat signal propagating along a normally dispersive fiber can trigger the formation of multiple shocks. This phenomenon critically depends on the input frequency separation and power of the beat signal.
Core hole screening and decay rates of double core ionized first row hydrides.
2013
Because of the high intensity, X-ray free electron lasers allow one to create and probe double core ionized states in molecules. The decay of these multiple core ionized states crucially determines the evolution of radiation damage in single molecule diffractive imaging experiments. Here we have studied the Auger decay in hydrides of first row elements after single and double core ionization by quantum mechanical ab initio calculations. In our approach the continuum wave function of the emitted Auger electron is expanded into spherical harmonics on a radial grid. The obtained decay rates of double K-shell vacancies were found to be systematically larger than those for the respective single …
On the shell structure and geometry of monovalent metal clusters
1991
The Huckel model is used to study the electronic structure of monovalent metal clusters. In an fcc cluster the Huckel model gives an estimate to the electronic structure of a free electron cluster. It is shown that the surface faceting of the fcc cluster can destroy the electronic shell structure already when the cluster has about 100 electrons. In the Huckel model the icosahedral structure has smaller total energy than the fcc structures, from which the Wulff construction has the smallest energy already when the cluster has 600 atoms.
High-pressure lattice dynamics in wurtzite and rocksalt indium nitride investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy
2013
We present an experimental and theoretical lattice-dynamical study of InN at high hydrostatic pressures. We perform Raman scattering measurements on five InN epilayers, with different residual strain and free electron concentrations. The experimental results are analyzed in terms of ab initio lattice-dynamical calculations on both wurtzite InN (w-InN) and rocksalt InN (rs-InN) as a function of pressure. Experimental and theoretical pressure coefficients of the optical modes in w-InN are compared, and the role of residual strain on the measured pressure coefficients is analyzed. In the case of the LO band, we analyze and discuss its pressure behavior considering the double-resonance mechanis…
Edge-dependent selection rules in magic triangular graphene flakes
2008
The electronic shell and supershell structure of triangular graphene quantum dots has been studied using density functional and tight-binding methods. The density functional calculations demonstrate that the electronic structure close to the Fermi energy is correctly described with a simple tight-binding model, where only the ${p}_{z}$ orbitals perpendicular to the graphene layer are included. The results show that (i) both at the bottom and at the top of the ${p}_{z}$ band, a supershell structure similar to that of free electrons confined in a triangular cavity is seen, (ii) close to the Fermi level, the shell structure is that of free massless particles, (iii) triangles with armchair edge…
