Intramolecular Spin-Orbit Coupling In Naphthalene Analogs, Francis Elliott Shoup Iii

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The objective of this study was to gain additional insight into the phenomenon of spin-orbit coupling in molecules by examining the intramolecular mechanisms responsible for the phosphorescence of certain types of molecules. Spectrocopic investigations of a series of aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic heterocyclics, and some of their halogen derivatives are reported. Experimental measurements included absorption spectra, total emission spectra, polarized emission spectra, obtained by the method of photoselection, and radiative lifetimes. It was found that chlorine substitution in naphthalene, quinoline, and quinoxaline has the effect of enhancing the transition probability for radiative transitions from the B_lu component of the ^{3 …}

Crystal Field Splitting In Rare Earth Chelates, Walter George Perkins

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Investigations of ligand field effects in the spectra of trisdibenzoyl­methide, trisbenzoylacetonate, and trisacetylacctonatc chelates of trivalent ytterbium and thulium are reported. Chelate absorption and luminescence spectra corresponding to intra-4f electronic transitions exhibit line split­tings similar in magnitude to the crystal field splitting observed in the spectra of inorganic complexes of the rare earth ions.

Absorption spectra of carbon tetrachloride solutions of all the che­lates studied were measured in the visible and near infrared regions. Each ytterbium chelate exhibits an absorption band at 9800A, consisting of three well-resolved peaks. Thulium intra-4f absorption bands appear at 4700A, 6800A, 8000A, 12000A, and 17000A. …

The Radiochemical Purification Of Europium And A Study Of The Nuclear Properties Of Eu157, Eu158 And Eu159, William Richard Daniels

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Chemical procedures have been developed for the rapid preparation of radiochemically pure europium sources from rare earth mixtures and from fission products. Unpurified mixtures of the mono- and dirp(l,1,3,3- tetramethylbutyl)phenyl 1 esters of orthophosphoric acid are used to ex­tract rare ei1arths in the (III) oxidation state away from europium in the (II) oxidation state. Europium sources can be prepared in about 30 min-11tes.

A slow􀀼r chemical procedure for the preparation of europium sources which are both radiochemically pure and mass free has also been developed. Di(2-ethylhEtxyl) orthophosphoric acid is used to separate europium from yttrium, which has a high fission …

The Atmospheric Neutron Spectrum At High Altitudes, Michael Sydor

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

A measurement of neutron flux in the range 30 -130 Mev at altitudes of 10, 670 feet and 100,000 feet was performed with a directionally sensitive proton recoil detector. The detector consisted of two counters of scintillator plastic which measured dE/dx and energy of proton recoils originating in a third plastic scintillator. Charged particles were eliminated by a guard counter. Energy calibration was performed with charged cosmic ray particles; efficiency and angular sensitivity were calculated. The angular response was checked at 10,670 feet, where a reasonable angular distribution of cosmic ray neutrons could be assumed.

Annual Report Of The University, 1963-1964, University Of New Mexico

UNM Annual Reports

As president of the University, I hereby submit the report of the University of New Mexico for the 1963-64 academic year. As is traditional, the report will not be confined strictly to the 12-month period ended June 30, 1964, but will also be concerned with continuing developments of significance to the institution and the state. During the year, the University celebrated the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of its founding by the Territorial Legislature. This year, marking a milestone in the history of the institution, was in itself a time for attaining old goals and for making new beginnings.

The Multi-Terminal Hall Generator, Sang S. Pak

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

This thesis describes a study undertaken to maximize the Hall generator efficiency. A mathematical solution is obtained for a multi-terminal Hall generator, and an analytical technique is developed for determining the optimum values of parameters to maximize the generator efficiency. An equivalent circuit is developed for an N output-terminal Hall generator, and the efficiency expression is obtained as a function of sample dimension, conductivity and Hall coefficient of the material, and magnetic field strength. Some of the results have been checked experimentally with indium antimonide and fields up to 21.5 kilogauss. An efficiency of 40% was obtained experimentally for a …

Potential Diuretic Agents:-The Synthesis Of 4, 7-Disubstituted Derivatives Of 2-Phenylimidazo [4, 5-D]Pyridazine, Miriam P. Malm

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

"The maintenance of the water balance of an organism is of prime importance for its physiologic well-being." (1) Water, which composes approximately two-thirds of the entire human body weight, is the fluid in which all vital chemical reactions occur. A loss of 25 percent of body water usually proves fatal. The inherent physical and chemical properties of water render it as the ideal fluid to meet the physiological demands of the organism.

Spectroscopic Studies Of Tris (2,2'-Bipyridine)- And Tris (I, 10-Phenanthroline) Iron (Ii), -Ruthenium (Ii), And -Osmium (Ii), Sonia Lee Sabath

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The tris(2,2'-bipyridine)- and tris(l,10-phenanthroline) complexes of iron(II), ruthenium(II), and osmium(II) were synthesized, purified, and characterized by analyses. The solution absorption spectra of the compounds were measured both in the ultraviolet and visible regions. The observed ultraviolet absorption bands of the ruthenium and osmium complexes were assigned entirely to transitions, the prominent bands being assigned to ligand (perturbed) transitions by comparison with the published assignments of the corresponding bands in analogous iron complexes. The visible absorption spectra for iron(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes were attributed entirely to singlet-singlet charge transfer transitions. The strong visible absorption bands of osmium(II) complexes were also assigned …

On The Solar Magnetic Field In Inter-Planetary Space, Jacqueline H. Hill

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to determine, experimentally and theoretically, an axially symmetric current distribution which would simulate the currents believed to flow in interplanetary space around the sun. The general magnetic field of the sun is assumed to originate as a dipole field which induces currents in the plasma of the solar atmosphere. The dipole field is in turn modified by the induced currents. This phenomenon is often described in terms or a diamagnetism of the plasma. In the limiting case, this diamagnetism would almost completely prevent the inducing field from penetrating the plasma.

Force-On-The-Wall Calculations For One-Dimensional Dense Gases With Intermolecular Potentials., Thomas Daniel Butler

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

The theoretical study of dense gases with strong intermolecular forces is impeded by lack of sufficient experimental which to compare predictions of the properties. High speed computers can supply this information by calculating the detailed dynamics of molecular assemblages, thereby taking the place of an actual physical experiment. This information supplied by the computers not only can test the validity of existing theories, but also it can indicate directions for possible im­provement in the theoretical approximations.

In order to show the adaptability of computers to this task, this thesis deals with the theoretical and computer-experimental study of the force exerted …

Stabilization Of A Balloon-Borne Package, Gary W. Tomlinson

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

It is desirable in certain applications of balloon-borne systems to stabilize the apparatus against rotation about the vertical axis and against tilting. The method of stabilization which will be discussed in this paper involves the use of a set of three gyroscopes which provide a reaction to any torques which would tend to rotate or tilt the package. A model was constructed which demonstrates the feasibility of this method. If the system is to be used for some type of astronomical measurement it may also be desirable to scan a portion of the sky at a constant rate. A method …

The Synthesis And Evaluation Of Some 2-Arylindenes And 2-Aryl-3h-Benz[E]Indenes As Liquid Scintillation Solutes, James Leslie Schornick

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

A scintillator, in the chemical sense, is a system which can convert radioactive particle energy to visible and near ultraviolet photon energy. A phenomenon related to scintillation is fluorescence. The difference between scintillation and fluorescence is the source of excitation energy. In the case of scintillation, the exciting energy comes from radioactive particles, while in fluorescence, the exciting energy comes from ultraviolet light.

Economics Of Uses Of Natural Resources_June 1964, James R. Gray

BBER Publications

The report evaluates optimal combinations of grazing, recreation, timber, water use, and other activities in the Ruidoso Ranger District, concluding that recreation should take precedence where demand is high and that multiple‑use management can significantly increase net economic returns.

The Diffraction Of Polarized Light By A Conducting Straight Edge In The Geometrical Shadow, Richard W. Morris

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Theory predicts that the diffraction pattern of a conduction straight edge will show deviations from the diffraction pattern of a non-conductor, and further, that these deviations will depend upon the polarization of the incident light. In this experiment the diffraction of polarized, coherent light from a monochromatic source by a metallic straight edge was studied in a region near the edge of the geometrical shadow. Two orientations of the polarization were used: one with the E vector of the polarized light parallel to the diffracting edge, and the other with the E vector perpendicular to the diffracting edge. Three different …

Determination Of The Orientation Of Air-Borne Instrumentation, David G. Miller

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Air-borne devices have been used as a means of observation and collection of information in meteorology and atmospheric physics for many years. Only in recent years, however, has the increasing use of such devices been made for astronomical observations. A balloon-borne telescope at 80,000 to 100,000 feet, for example, has many advantages: the distortion, absorption and scattering of light by the atmosphere and the dependence on weather conditions, which plagues earthbound observations, are essentially eliminated. It seems apparent that astronomical observation will eventually be able to be made only by air­borne or satellite observatories. The decline in usefulness of the …

Single Crystals Of "Globular Molecules" From The Melt, Charles A. Aeby

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

This thesis is an investigation of the possibility of growing single crystals of dl-camphene, d-camphor, and cyclohexanol. These are organic compounds, characterized by "globular molecules", which form plastic crystals immediately below their melting point. Single crystals were desired in order to study, by ultra-sound techniques, properties pertinent to the evaluation of the elastic constants of these crystals. Primary emphasis was placed on growing crystals of dl-camphene, since it is conveniently handled at room temperatures.

Methods of growth from the melt were chosen because of the relatively fast growth rates, compared to vapor or solution techniques. Secondary considerations were simplicity of …

Large Angle Scattering Of Polarized Light By A Straight Edge, Theodore S. Fahlen

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

The purpose of this experiment was to observe the light diffracted into the geometrical shadow of a sharp and a blunt metallic straight edge using a polarized, very intense, highly coherent light source. The light source used was a ruby laser, and a Nicol prism was used to linearly polarize the laser light. Two polarizations of the laser beam were used: One with the E vector of the incident beam oriented parallel to the edge of the straight edge, and the other with the E vector oriented perpendicular to the edge. One photomultiplier tube was used to monitor the pulsed …
