A estrutura nuclear do primeiro estado excitado do ANTPOT.64 Zn (J POT.= 2 POT.+, E IND.X = 0.992 MeV) foi estudada através de medidas do efeito de reorientação neste núcleo, e de distribuições angulares e funções de excitação do espalhamento de ANTPOT.16 O e ANTPOT.18 O por ANTPOT.64 Zn na região de interferência nuclear-coulombiana. Foram investigados os processos de interação do núcleo ANTPOT.64 Zn com os íons ANTPOT.16 O e ANTPOT.18 O no espalhamento inelástico sem e com excitação do projétil. O efeito de reorientação na excitação coulombiana observado através do retroespalhamento de ANTPOT.4 He, ANTPOT.16 O e ANTPOT.18 O, permitiu a determinação precisa da probabilidade reduzida de transição B(E2; O POT.+ 2 POT.+) e do momento de quadrupolo estático Q IND.2+ do primeiro estado excitado do ANTPOT.64 Zn. As distribuições angulares e funções de excitação experimentais do espalhamento elástico de ANTPOT.16 O e ANTPOT.18 O por ANTPOT.64 Zn foram analisadas com o modelo óptico. Os resultados experimentais do espalhamento inelástico de ANTPOT.16 O e ANTPOT.18 O pelo mesmo núcleo, na região de interferência nuclear-coulombiana, foram analisados com a aproximação de Born com ondas distorcidas (DWBA) e considerando o acoplamento de canais, com fator de forma do modelo coletivo. Foram determinados os parâmetros de deformação nuclear do primeiro estado excitado 2 POT.+ do ANTPOT.64 Zn e do ANTPOT.18 O. / he nuclear structure of the first excited state of 64Zn (J=2+, Ex=0.992MeV) was studied by measuring the reorientation effect in this nucleus, the angular distributions and excitation functions of 16O and 18O scattering by 64Zn, in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region. The interaction processes between the 64Zn nucleus and the 16O and 18O ions in the inelastic scattering, with and without projectile excitation, were also investigated. The reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation, observed through backscattering of 4He, 16O and 18O ions, allowed a precise determination of the reduced transition probability B(E2; O+ 2+) and the static quadrupole moment Q2+ of the first excited state of 64Zn. Analyses of the angular distributions and excitation functions, obtained for the elastic scattering of 16O and18O by 64Zn, were performed in terms of the optical model. The experimental results fot the inelastic scattering of 16O and 18O by the same nucleus, in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region, were analysed by means of both distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) and channel coupling with a collective form factor. Nuclear deformation parameters were thus determined for the 2+1 state of 64Zn and of 180.

The chemistry of co-ordination compounds in general has played an important role in the development of the modern theory of valency, but the properties of complex salts between chromium and organic compounds containing carboxyl and amino- groups are of additional interest because of their bearing on the theory of certain technological processes such as chromium plating and, in particular, chrome-tanning. Owing to the rapid development of valence theory over the last two decades the technological chemist finds himself at a disadvantage vis-a-vis his academic counterpart in attempting to interpret the results of researches relating to these compounds as he must rely on the less powerful "classical" approach to his problems. Hence the need was felt for a brief survey of modern concepts of valency in terms of wave mechanics. For a more extended study the reader may consult the appropriate references and text books.

In this work physical and analytical methods have been used to investigate the potassium salts of certain dioxalato chromium (III) complexes. The solid potassium salts of the trioxalatochromiate and the cis and trans dioxalatodiaquochromiates together with a salt corresponding to potassium dioxalatosulphatoaquochromiate were prepared. The mono- and dihydroxo derivatives of the cis and trans dioxalatochromiates were also obtained in aqueous solution. The methods of preparation and analysis used are described. Spectrophotometric absorption curves obtained on solutions of these salts using a Beckman Spectrophotometer are in agreement with results of previous workers, and the new absorption curve obtained from a solution of the solid cis dioxalatodiaquochromia salt shows that it is pure and gives additional proof of the completeness of the trans - cis isomerisation. Summary, p. i.

Experiments are described on the possibility of developing a gas luminescence chamber for the observation of particle tracks. A brief review of devices currently available for obtaining ionizing particle tracks, particularly those capable of time resolutions in the microsecond region, is included. Attempts were made to detect scintillations in several gas and vapour mixtures. For some gas mixtures the possibility of using ionizing radiation to initiate a light producing chain reaction was investigated. These experiments were performed in the temperature range from 25 to 220° centigrade. Results obtained were not of such a nature to encourage further work towards the development of a gas luminescence chamber. As a background of non-radiation induced photon emission was observed for several reactions, it is possible that the methods employed in the experiment may be adopted to measure the onset and rate of some chemical reactions. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate

The conductivities of the homologous series from tetra-methyl to tetra-n-amyl of the normal tetraalkylammonium iodides and bromides in acetonitrile at 25° C have been determined. The concentrations studied ranged from 0.006 to 0.00003 moles per litre. These salts are fairly strong electrolytes in acetonitrile. The iodides have higher conductivities and are more highly dissociated than the corresponding bromides. The conductivities decrease with increasing size of the alkyl group and the degrees of dissociation show a corresponding increase. There is a relatively large difference between the tetramethyl and tetraethyl ions and then smaller, fairly regular differences in going from tetraethyl to tetra-n-amyl. The limiting equivalent conductivities have been calculated by the methods of Shedlovsky and Fuoss. It is shown that the dissociation constants calculated by the method of Shedlovsky and those calculated by the method of Fuoss are not related in the manner predicted by these authors. Ionic conductances have been calculated by assuming that Walden's rule applies to the tetra-n-butylammonium ion. A comparison of ionic resistances in some organic solvents shows that the quaternary ammonium ions have little tendency to interact with solvent molecules. / Science, Faculty of / Chemistry, Department of / Graduate

The ion beam transmission efficiency of the ion source is an important factor in determining the sensitivity of a mass spectrometer. Vauthier (1955) has shown for a simple source that the transmission efficiency is very low. The present thesis examines the transmission efficiency of a more complex source. The first part of the thesis deals with the ion optical properties of a multiple slit ion source. The region of ion withdrawal has been sketched by computing the ion trajectories passing through the exit slit. It was found that for the more complex source the region of ion withdrawal is also much smaller than the total ionization space. It is not practical to confine the ionization region to the small volume from which ions are withdrawn. The effect of a source magnetic field has been taken into account. The perturbation of the trajectory due to the field is small, and therefore the mass discrimination due to the source magnetic field is imperceptible for heavy ions unless the field is of the order of a few webers/m². The multiple slit ion source produces a divergent ion beam, only a small fraction of which penetrates the exit slit. Obviously a system producing a beam converging at the exit slit to a narrow parallel ribbon will be most efficient. In order to devise such a system a theory of the inverse problem of particle motion is developed in the second part of the thesis. A procedure was found to determine a potential distribution required to guide a group of particles along a set of prescribed paths. There are two important limitations to the choice of paths: (a) there are certain paths which are not complete; that is a particle following such a path is turned back at certain points which we call mirror points. (b) The particles which do not satisfy the initial conditions of uniform energy and direction may deviate considerably from their projected paths leading to what we have called an unstable situation. Fortunately the complete paths are stable, and the incomplete paths are unstable. Of the two types of convergent paths studied, namely, exponentially decreasing and damped oscillatory paths, the system of damped oscillatory paths is stable. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

By using a pair of large Nal spectrometers in a coincidence configuration we have observed the charge exchange of stopped π⁻ in deuterium π⁻ + d → 2n + π°. We have measured the branching ratio of this reaction [equation omitted] and find R = (1.45 ± 0.19) x 10⁻⁴. This measurement is the first observation of pion charge exchange at rest in deuterium and represents an increase in sensitivity of a factor of 40 over previous measurements. The measured value of R agrees well with the recent theoretical result of Beder(1.39 x 10⁻⁴ ≤ R ≤ 1.59 x 10⁻⁴). / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
