The reaction C+ + H2O → HCO+/HOC+ + H is one of the most important astrophysical sources of HOC+ ions, considered a marker for interstellar molecular clouds exposed to intense ultraviolet or x-ray radiation. Despite much study, there is no consensus on rate constants for formation of the formyl ion isomers in this reaction. This is largely due to difficulties in laboratory study of ion-molecule reactions under relevant conditions. Here, we use a novel experimental platform combining a cryogenic buffer-gas beam with an integrated, laser-cooled ion trap and high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer to probe this reaction at the temperature of cold interstellar clouds. We report a reaction rate constant of k = 7.7(6) × 10−9 cm3 s−1 and a branching ratio of formation η = HOC+/HCO+ = 2.1(4). Theoretical calculations suggest that this branching ratio is due to the predominant formation of HOC+ followed by isomerization of products with internal energy over the isomerization barrier.

Through testing the amount of the free lime and the Loss ignition, the clinker formation rate, the reaction-rate constant (K) and the activation energy (Ea) were calculated according to the Gentling equation and Arrhenius equation. The effects of CaF2on the formation kinetics of Portland cement clinker were investigated by analyzing theKandEa. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron Microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the phase composition and the morphology of the resulting samples. The results show that the silicate minerals formation is promoted when a proper amount of CaF2is doped into the raw meal. TheKincreased from 0.7450 ×10-5s-1to 7.1588 ×10-5s-1and theEadecreased from 386 kJ/mol to 122 kJ/mol when the amount of CaF2increased from 0.0% to 2.0% in mass. However, the results were reversed at the amount of CaF2exceeding 2%.

ABSTRACTAmorphous Si/Ti multilayers transform at high temperatures (above 700°C) to TiSi2-C54. This phase is important for microelectronics applications because of its low resistivity, stability up to 900°C, and compatibility with silicon processing. However, an unfavorable metastable TiSi2-C49 phase is usually formed at lower temperatures. Thus, an understanding of the C49 phase formation kinetics is useful to the device processing strategy. The kinetics of the transformation of TiSi2-C49 phase can be characterized as a process of nucleation and growth, using the well known Johnson Mehl Avrami (JMA) equation. In the present work the formation kinetics of the C49 phase has been studied by an in situ x-ray diffraction technique. Isothermal annealing in vacuum was done at four temperatures, in the range of 275"C to 310°C. A position sensitive detector (PSD) was used to simultaneously collect the diffracted beams of (131) and (150) peaks of the C49 phase. From the data, the Avrami exponent, n, was determined to be 2.0±0.1. The reaction rate constant k follows a familiar Arrhenius-type equation with a measured activation energy of 2.5eV. Comparison of our x-ray results with kinetic data obtained by other means will be discussed.

<div> <div> <div> <p>A key step in gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation involves the addition of acetylene (or other alkyne) to σ-type aromatic radicals, with successive additions yielding more complex PAHs. A similar process can happen for N- containing aromatics. In cold diffuse environments, such as the interstellar medium, rates of radical addition may be enhanced when the σ-type radical is charged. This paper investigates the gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of acetylene with nine aromatic distonic σ-type radical cations derived from pyridinium (Pyr), anilinium (Anl) and benzonitrilium (Bzn) ions. Three isomers are studied in each case (radical sites at the ortho, meta and para positions). Using a room temperature ion trap, second-order rate coefficients, product branching ratios and reaction efficiencies are reported. </p> </div> </div> </div>

We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.

Abstract Cu6Sn5 intermetallic occurs in the form of differently ordered phases η, η′ and η′′. In solder joints, this intermetallic can undergo changes in composition and the state of order without or while interacting with excess Cu and excess Sn in the system, potentially giving rise to detrimental changes in the mechanical properties of the solder. In order to study such processes in fundamental detail and to get more detailed information about the metastable and stable phase equilibria, model alloys consisting of Cu3Sn + Cu6Sn5 as well as Cu6Sn5 + Sn-rich melt were heat treated. Powder x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy supplemented by electron backscatter diffraction were used to investigate the structural and microstructural changes. It was shown that Sn-poor η can increase its Sn content by Cu3Sn precipitation at grain boundaries or by uptake of Sn from the Sn-rich melt. From the kinetics of the former process at 513 K and the grain size of the η phase, we obtained an interdiffusion coefficient in η of (3 ± 1) × 10−16 m2 s−1. Comparison of this value with literature data implies that this value reflects pure volume (inter)diffusion, while Cu6Sn5 growth at low temperature is typically strongly influenced by grain-boundary diffusion. These investigations also confirm that η′′ forming below a composition-dependent transus temperature gradually enriches in Sn content, confirming that Sn-poor η′′ is metastable against decomposition into Cu3Sn and more Sn-rich η or (at lower temperatures) η′.
