5271. Coherent dissociation O-16->4 alpha in photoemulsion at an incident momentum of 4.5 GeV/c per nucleon

First searches for the coherent dissociation of relativistic oxygen nuclei into four alpha particles are reported. It is shown that reactions of this type are characterized by a significantly lower decay temperature than the conventional multifragmentation of residual projectile nuclei. The momentum spectra and correlations of alpha particles are not reproduced by the simple statistical model of direct fragmentation. The possibility that the oxygen nucleus undergoing fragmentation acquires a nonzero angular momentum in the collision process is discussed.

5272. Corrosion behavior of some amorphous aluminium mixed-metal transition-metal alloys (Al-Mm-MT)

Authors: Ciolac, S; Calin, M; Roman, R; Jianu, A

Published: JAN 1996, REVISTA DE CHIMIE, 47, 66, DOI:

The results of the potentiostatic polarization studies taken on some Al-Mm-MT metallic glasses in reducing acid media are presented. The rest potentials development and the electrochemical parameters evaluated from the anodic and cathodic curves were correlated with the alloys composition, and related to those of the alloying components in crystalline state. Our results indicate that: alloying with rare earths does not affect interface processes; the transition metals interfere with the hydrogen reduction kinetics determining its acceleration by increasing Ni content in the alloy composition; substitution of Ni by Fe contributes to corrosion rate reduction, to passive state extension and stabilization, so that Al-Mm-Fe alloy behaves better than Al-Mm-(Fe, Ni) and Al-Mm-Ni alloys.

5273. Anchoring energy of some nematic liquid crystals at alignment layers of different topography

Authors: Stoenescu, DN; Frunza, S; Roques, Y; Farenc, J; Traverse, JP

Published: 1996, CRYSTAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, 31, 1099, DOI:

Using a high electric field method, the anchoring energy was measured for tilted homogeneous cells filled with nematic liquid crystals (5CB, ZLI 1132). These cells contain aligment layers of five different types obtained either by SiO depositions at various incidence angles or by special polyvinylic alcohol (PVA) coatings. The observed differences in the anchoring energy values are due to the differences in the layer topography.

5274. STOICHIOMETRY EFFECTS ON THE Nd3+ CENTRES IN LiNbO3:Nd3+

Authors: Loro, H; Hernandez, J; Camarillo, E; Murrieta, H; Voda, M; Jaque, F; Sole, JG

Published: 1996, FERROELECTRICS, 185, 36, DOI: 10.1080/00150199608210473

LiNbO3 crystals with three different stoicliiometries(0,88; 0,945 and 1) in the melt were grown and dcped with the same concentration of Nd3+ (0.33%). The Nd3+ centres were systematically investigated by laser spectroscopy for these three crystals. The same Nd3+ centres were obtained for all stoichiometries but its relative distribution depends on the [Li]/[Nb] ratio.

5275. Synthesis and study of the high-T-c superconductor (BiPb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x

Three alternative routes of the oxalate method for synthesis of the high-T-c superconducting oxide Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x have been studied. The best results were obtained using the compound III as precursor.

5277. The contribution to the non-uniform distribution of motion effects obtained for the SC-cut quartz plates

Authors: Mateescu, I; Zelenka, J; Mateescu, I

Published: 1996, PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1996 IEEE INTERNATIONAL FREQUENCY CONTROL SYMPOSIUM (50TH ANNIVERSARY), 411, DOI: 10.1109/FREQ.1996.559888

New experimental results related to the harmonic dependence of the characteristics of SC-cut quartz resonators on various material and electrode parameters are presented. On the basis of the analysis of SC-cut trapped-energy resonators vibrating in the coupled thickness-shear and thickness-twist in the vicinity of the fundamental and odd overtone thickness-shear frequency dependencies were established of effective mass-loading, effective coupling coefficient, motional capacitance and static capacitance on electrode material and dimensions. The results put into evidence the influence of the non-uniform distribution of motion on behaviour of the SC-cut resonators. The plane-parallel polished SC-cut quartz plate of 14mm diameter with different thickness Ag and CrAu electrodes and two values of electrode diameter were used for the experimental investigations.

5278. Optical and microstructural properties of TiO2(Ni2+) thin films

Authors: Parlog, C; Gartner, M; Osiceanu, P; Teodorescu, V; Moise, F; Ianculescu, A

Published: 1996, CERAMICS INTERNATIONAL, 22, 99, DOI: 10.1016/0272-8842(95)00062-3

Coloured TiO2(Ni2+) thin coatings doped with transitional metals (Ni) were deposited on different substrates (silicon wafers, glass, aluminum) by the sol-gel dip coating process. Complementary techniques (XPS, SE, TEM, XRD, Absorption Spectroscopy) were used to characterize the surface stoichiometry and optical properties, as well as the structure and texture of the thermally treated gels. The presence of fully oxidized film in the outer layers, crystallization in heat treatment to anatase and rutile, formation of porous and coloured films due to the influence of the dopant and the reaction with the substrate, as well as a decrease by three orders of magnitude of the resistivity of Ni-doped films, are reported.

5280. On the determination of birefringence of liquid crystals by the interference method

Authors: Moldovan, R; Tintaru, M; Frunza, S; Beica, T; Polosan, S

Published: 1996, CRYSTAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, 31, 955, DOI: 10.1002/crat.2170310724

A new method of processing the experimental data in the interference method for the determination of birefringence of liquid crystals which allows obtaining results in good agreement with those from prism or wedge methods, is presented.
