Three-Body Analytical Potential For Interacting Helium Atoms, Carol A. Parish, Clifford E. Dykstra Nov 1994

Three-Body Analytical Potential For Interacting Helium Atoms, Carol A. Parish, Clifford E. Dykstra

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Large basis set ab initio calculations have been carried out for a dense grid of points on the He, potential energy surface. Three-body contributions were extracted at every point, and a number of concise functional representations for the three-body potential surface were then examined. Three-body multipolar dispersion terms and other radial and angular terms were used in the representations, and an assessment of relative importance of the different terms is presented. Combined with a two-body He-He potential, the results of this work should offer a high quality interaction potential for simulations of aggregated helium.

The surface-induced ordering in thin films of asymmetric deuterated polystyrene (dPS)- poly(viny1pyridine) (PVP) diblock and triblock copolymers of comparable polymerization index and PVP volume fraction - 0.25) was studied using transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, secondary ion massspectrometry, and neutron reflectivity. The morphology of both di- and triblock copolymer films was found to be cylindrical except for the layer adjacent to the silicon oxide surface, which due to the strong interaction of silica with PVP, was lamellar. The spacing between adjacent cylindrical layers was found to be consistent with mean field theory predictions. In the triblock copolymer films the …

Dynamic electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements compare the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic (AF) properties of superconducting oxides in the range 4 K to room temperature, at 8 MHz and 9.36 GHz. Two are derivatives of YBa2Cu30 7: 1: Nd(Nd0.05Ba0.95 )2Cu30 7, Te0 =72 K and II: Y0.2Cao.8Sr2[Cu2(Tlo.5Pb0.5 )]07, Te0 =108 K and two are cases where AF ordering dominates the weak superconductivity: III: Nb01.1> 1. 25 ~Teo~ 10 K and IV: La2Ni04.00, 70 K :::: Teo:::: 40 K. At temperatures 298:::: T:::: 64 K, the ESR absorption by I indicates orthorhombic symmetry. The peaks at Ke =2.06, gb =2.13, and Ka …

Deuteron Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies Of Molecular Motion In Solids, Tak Yan Tse Jan 1994

Deuteron Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies Of Molecular Motion In Solids, Tak Yan Tse

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

$\sp2$H-NMR is a powerful spectroscopic technique for investigating dynamics in solids. to extend the range of motional rates that can be quantitatively investigated, a new approach for measuring the quadrupolar spin-lattice relaxation time $T\sb{1Q}$ was developed. This uses a Broadband Jeener-Broekaert (BBJB) sequence with echo-detection, which avoids the frequency-discriminated excitation profile and spectral baseline distortion intrinsic to the conventional Jeener-Broekaert (JB) experiment. By combining the BBJB experiment with an Inversion-Recovery sequence with Quadrupole-Echo detection (IRQE), two independent longitudinal relaxation times, $T\sb{1Q}$ and $T\sb{1Z}$, can be measured. Spectral densities of motion $J\sb1(\omega\sb{o}$) and $J\sb2(2\omega\sb{o}$) are extracted from these relaxation times. The …
