The electron paramagnetic resonance of copper (II)-tetrammine nitrate in solution of methanol and water has been investigated. The data obtained from the spectra at room temperature and 97 °K together with the optical transition energies determined from single crystal polarized absorption spectra at 77 °K by other authors were used to calculate the LCAO-MO bonding parameters. The bonding orbital of the ammonia molecule cannot be described by the concept of sp2 hybridization which was exclusively used in the theory. Therefore a calculation of the overlap integral S(n) for α bonding and of the superhyperfine splitting was carried out in terms of an arbitrary hybridization parametern. For ammonia, n was taken from the Duncan-Pople hybrid wave function for the lone pair orbital. The o bonding and the out-of-plane π bonding appear to have a moderate degree of covalency (α = Ϭ = 0.91; α’= 0.49). The covalent in-plane n bonding is somewhat stronger (β = 0.87) but is by no means so strongly covalent as is observed in compounds with ligands which do not exclusively coordinate through the lone pair electrons.
At low temperature nine ligand nuclear superhyperfine structure lines corresponding to the interaction of four magnetically equivalent nitrogen nuclei have been observed. The value of α' derived from the superhyperfine splitting is in excellent agreement with that obtained from the copper nucleus hyperfine structure.
In systems containing singlet-oxygen and aromatic fluorescers energy transfer from singletoxygen dimers to the dye should be observable by emission of the fluorescer. In order to prove this hypothesis, externally generated singlet-oxygen (1Δg) was bubbled through the solutions of dyes (chlorophyll a, eosin y, rhodamine b, luminol, rubrene and acridine orange) in organic solvents.
Luminescence could be observed and its spectral distribution analyzed by sharp cut-off filters and interference filters (rubrene) . Spectra, rates of oxidation, addition of quenchers and the long lasting time dependence of the reported reactions lead to the conclusion that the observed afterglow is due to chemical oxidation mechanisms producing a chemiluminescence. Therefore an excitation of the substances investigated in these experiments by simple physical energy transfer seems not to be predominant.
The meaning of a recently proposed formalism for quantization of interacting fields is discussed by studying the consequences of the time-dependent unitary transformation which is essential for this approach. It turns out that non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics in dipole approximation may serve as a useful, although rather singular, example for this method. In the relativistic case a different point of view is suggested in order to avoid inconsistent interpretation. It is further possible to give arguments for a reasonable choice of the unitary transformation concerned.
The triplet state of acridine orange dissolved in methanol/water matrix was investigated by ESR. In absence of oxygen a strong temperature dependence of the spectra was observed. At low temperature (100 °K) the zero-field splitting parameters calculated from the triplet spectrum are: X/hc = 0.0050 cm-1, Y/hc= 0.0342 cm-1, Z/hc=0.0387 cm-1 , at higher temperature (140 °K) : X*(hc=0.0056 cm-1, Y*/hc=0.0206 cm-1, Z*/hc = 0.0262 cm-1 . It was assumed that the low temperature spectrum is caused by isolated molecules in the triplet state while the high temperature spectrum must be attributed to the triplet exciton state of the acridine orange dimer. From the theory of the ESR triplet exciton spectra it can be shown that in the dimer state of acridine orange the molecular planes form an angle of 50° or 130°. However, it cannot be excluded that the dimer configuration differs in the ground or excited singlet state from the triplet state.
The aim of any Automatic Translation project is to give a mechanical procedure for finding an equivalent expression in the target language to any sentence in the source language. The aim of my linguistic translation project is to find the corresponding structures of the languages dealt with. The two main problems that have to be solved by such a project are the difference of word order between the source language and the target language and the ambiguous words of the source language for which the appropriate word in the target language has to be chosen. The first problem is of major linguistic interest: once the project has been worked out, it will give us the parallel sentence structures for the two languages in question. Since there is no complete analysis of any language that could be used for the purpose of automatic translation, we decided to build up our project sentence by sentence. The rules which are needed for translating each sentence will have to be included in the complete program anyway, and the translation may be checked and corrected immediately. The program is split up into subroutines for each word-class, so that a correction of the program in case of an unsatisfactory translation does not complicate the program unnecessarily.
An upper limit to the electric field strength, such as that of the nonlinear electrodynamics of Born and Infeld, leads to dramatic differences in the energy eigenvalues and wave functions of atomic electrons bound to superheavy nuclei. For example, the 1s1/2 energy level joins the lower continuum at Z=215 instead of Z=174, the value obtained when Maxwell's equations are used to determine the electric field.
We examine the possibility of reformulating quantum theory (QT) as a deterministic ensemble theory which (a) interprets observables as objective properties of physical systems and (b) coincides with QT in all quantitative statements. As will be demonstrated, such an Ensemble-Quantum-Theory (EQT) can only be constructed if (1) one accepts a modified observable-concept, and (2) as long as the theory of measurement is left out of account. A correct treatment of the measuring process is impossible within such an EQT. Consequently, there exist no Hidden-Variable Theories with the properties (a) and (b).
