Performance degradation of structural steels in nuclear environments results from the formation of a high number density of nanometre-scale defects. The defects observed in copper-based alloys are composed of vacancy clusters in the form of stacking fault tetrahedra and/or prismatic dislocation loops that impede the m…

We report a new theoretical model that accounts for the unusual magnetic properties of the cyanide cluster ([MnII(tmphen)2]3[MnIII(CN)6]2) (tmphen = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline). The model takes into account (1) the spin-orbit interaction, (2) the trigonal component of the crystal field acting on the groun…

An extracellular protein with strong absorption at 406 nm was purified from cell-free culture fluid of latex-grown Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y. This protein was identical to the gene product of a recently characterized gene cloned from Xanthomonas sp., as revealed by determination of m/z values and sequencing of select…

The first two steps of methane dissociation on Rh(111) have been investigated using density-functional theory, focusing on the dependence of the catalyst's reactivity on the atomic coordination of the active metal site. We find that, although the barrier for the dehydrogenation of methane (CH4 --> CH3 + H) decreases a…

Dielectric relaxation and PVT measurements were carried out on propylene carbonate. From these, we show that thermal energy exerts a stronger influence than volume on the temperature dependence of the dynamic properties. Data obtained at all temperatures and pressures superimpose, when expressed as a function of T-1 V…
