Ab Initio Calculation Of 81Br Nqr Transition Frequencies Of Brominated Aromatics (Flame Retardants), Chris R. Harwell, Anthony A. Mrse, Leslie G. Butler, Randall W. Hall Sep 1999

Ab Initio Calculation Of 81Br Nqr Transition Frequencies Of Brominated Aromatics (Flame Retardants), Chris R. Harwell, Anthony A. Mrse, Leslie G. Butler, Randall W. Hall

Randall W. Hall

Brominated aromatics, used extensively as flame retardants, have been studied with 81Br nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy. NQR requires lengthy frequency searches because 81Br NQR transition frequencies in brominated aromatics are spread over a wide (40 MHz) range. We investigate the ability of ab initio calculations to narrow this search range by predicting 81Br NQR transition frequencies for a series of brominated aromatics, using restricted Hartree−Fock (RHF) and Becke's three-parameter Lee−Yang−Parr density functional theory hybrid method (B3LYP). Basis sets used are of double and triple-ζ quality with varying degrees of polarization included on bromine. Geometries are the isolated molecules, with …

Growth Of Oriented Thick Films Of Gallium Nitride From The Melt., Jeffrey Dyck, K. Kash, M. Grossner, C. Hayman, A. Argoitia, N. Yang, M.-H. Hong, M. Kordesch, J. Angus Dec 1998

Growth Of Oriented Thick Films Of Gallium Nitride From The Melt., Jeffrey Dyck, K. Kash, M. Grossner, C. Hayman, A. Argoitia, N. Yang, M.-H. Hong, M. Kordesch, J. Angus

Jeffrey Dyck

While significant strides have been made in the optimization of GaN-based devices on foreign substrates, a more attractive alternative would be homoepitaxy on GaN substrates. The primary motivation of this work is to explore the growth of thick films of GaN from the melt for the ultimate use as substrate material. We have previously demonstrated the synthesis of polycrystalline, wurtzitic gallium nitride and indium nitride by saturating gallium metal and indium metal with atomic nitrogen from a microwave plasma source. Plasma synthesis avoids the high equilibrium pressures required when molecular nitrogen is used as the nitrogen source. Here we report …


Changes In The Fermi Surface At The Magnetization Reorientation Transition In Fe/Cu(100), Reginaldt H. Madjoe, Alexey N. Koveshnikov, Christopher Harwell, Randall W. Hall, Roger L. Stockbauer, Richard L. Lutz Dec 1998

Changes In The Fermi Surface At The Magnetization Reorientation Transition In Fe/Cu(100), Reginaldt H. Madjoe, Alexey N. Koveshnikov, Christopher Harwell, Randall W. Hall, Roger L. Stockbauer, Richard L. Lutz

Randall W. Hall

We present a study of the evolution of the valence bandstructure of Fe/Cu(100) as a function of Fe coverage in the 0–12 monolayer range. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy was used to probe the valence electronic structure and to extract Fermi surface contours as a function of increasing Fe coverage. The first few monolayers show Fe-induced densities of states that are significantly different from those in thicker films. At 5 ML, distinct changes occur in the Fermi surface, where a magnetization reorientation transition has been observed previously.


Single-Crystal 27Al Nmr Of Andalusite And Calculated Electric Field Gradients: The First Complete Nmr Assignment For A 5-Coordinate Aluminum Site, Pamela L. Bryant, Chris R. Harwell, Katherine Wu, Frank R. Fronczek, Randall W. Hall, Leslie G. Butler Dec 1998

Single-Crystal 27Al Nmr Of Andalusite And Calculated Electric Field Gradients: The First Complete Nmr Assignment For A 5-Coordinate Aluminum Site, Pamela L. Bryant, Chris R. Harwell, Katherine Wu, Frank R. Fronczek, Randall W. Hall, Leslie G. Butler

Randall W. Hall

Andalusite, Al2SiO5, contains 5- and 6-coordinate aluminum sites, and is a preeminent model for 27 Al NMR spectroscopy. We describe a combined NMR, crystallography, and theory project:  single-crystal 27 Al NMR spectra at 298 K, the crystal structure of andalusite at 115 K, and electric field gradient calculations. The low-symmetry 5-coordinate site is a stiff test of the computational methods. In addition, the chemical shift tensor is measured for the 5-coordinate site. The small body of 27 Al NMR data, especially for rare 5-coordinate sites, inspires the calculation of NMR parameters. We explore the accuracy of two approaches for 27 …
