Structural Analysis Of The Great Smoky Thrust Sheet Along The Little Tennessee River, John E. Livingston

Masters Theses

This study involves a structural analysis of a portion of the Great Smoky thrust sheet in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Four groups of folds and related structures have been identified in this area. the earliest folds include second-order mesoscopic F1 folds with a slaty cleavage axial plane foliation (S1). These folds occur on the limbs of first-order macroscopic F1 folds which are discordant to the Great Smoky fault. In several places, the F1 folds are overprinted by mesoscopic F2 folds which are characterized by crenulation cleavage axial plane foliation (S2). F2 folds include tight to isoclinal folds with …

Negative Ion Resonances In The Fluorobenzenes And Biphenyl, John Ronald Frazier

Doctoral Dissertations

Conclusion: In the present work a new experimental device was built, tested, and applied to the study of NIR's of a basic series of organic molecules. The importance of this work is threefold:

1. It has demonstrated that such a device can yield accurate values of electron affinities and vertical attachment energies.

2. A complete series of fluorine-substituted benzene derivatives has been studied to yield their electron affinities and/or vertical attachment energies. This has provided new insights concerning the negative ion states of these molecules.

3. Solid samples (with sufficient vapor pressures) can be studied with the present device to …
