Heinrich Wild's Polaristrobometer: An early form of chemical polarimeter

The year 2011 having been proclaimed by UNESCO and IUPAP “International Year of Chemistry”, it seems fitting to have a close look at a physical chemistry instrument, the Polaristrobometer, an early form of polarimeter/saccharimeter, at its inventor, the Sw ...

Optically Active Trialkynyl(phenyl)methane: synthesis and Determination of Its Absolute Configuration by Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) and Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD)

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

Both enantiomers of an optically active trialkynyl(phenyl)methane (the key building blocks in the construction of a stable expanded cubane) have been prepd. The strategy involved the resoln. of a racemic intermediate by means of HPLC on a chiral stationary ...

Chiral Induction from Allenes into Twisted 1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobuta-1,3-dienes (TCBDs): Conformational Assignment by Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

The mechanism of chiral induction in an optically pure 1,3-diethynylallene, from the central chiral allene moiety into directly adjacent TCBD chromophores, was confirmed and clarified. Only one low-energy conformer is found in calcns. of the potential ener ...

Some methods of dynamic nuclear polarization for use in metabolic imaging

Fiodar Kurdzesau

It has been suggested already more than 60 years ago to use polarized nuclei in particle scattering experiments1, but only with the discovery of the solid effect dynamic nuclear polarization process2 the realisation of polarized solid targets became possib ...

Plasma rotation and momentum transport studies in the TCV tokamak based on charge exchange spectroscopy measurements

Alessandro Bortolon

Thermonuclear controlled fusion research is a highly active branch of plasma physics. The main goal is the production of energy from the fusion reaction of hydrogen isotope nuclei, the same reaction that powers stars. The most promising present approach ar ...

Effects of upstream hydropower operation and oligotrophication on the light regime of a turbid peri-alpine lake

Alfred Johny Wüest

Anthropogenic activities in catchments can alter the light regimes in downstream natural waters, affecting light attenuation and the perceived optical properties of the waters. We analyzed the effects of upstream hydropower operation and oligotrophication ...

Rotation correlation maps

Touradj Ebrahimi

A correlation map shows the correlation between an image region and another image computed at the neighbourhood of each point of the second image. Most cross-correlation techniques fail when the viewpoint rotation grows over a certain value, usually around ...

Electric-field-, temperature-, and stress-induced phase transitions in relaxor ferroelectric single crystals

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Matthew Davis

Electric-field-induced phase transitions have been evidenced by macroscopic strain measurements at temperatures between 25 degrees C and 100 degrees C in 001-poled (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-xPbTiO(3) [(PMN-xPT);x=0.25,0.305,0.31] and (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O ...

Phase transitions, anisotropy and domain engineering

Matthew Davis

Relaxor-ferroelectric single crystals PZN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] and PMN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] continue to attract much interest due to their anomalously large piezoelectric properties (d33 > 2000 pm/V; k33 > 90%) when poled ("do ...

Interferometric loop method for polarization dispersion measurements

Luc Thévenaz, Philippe Robert

A novel method for polarization dispersion measurements using an interferometric loop is presented. It can be achieved using a particularly simple setup and provides a representation of the probability distribution of the polarization dispersion. ...
