The electrochemical behaviour of a new type Al-Zn-In-Mg-Ti-Ga-Mn anode suitable for deepwater cathodic protection was investigated. The current efficiency experiment was carried out in various simulated deepwater environment, and the EPMA and SKP technologies were also used. The results showed that the anode had uniform dissolution morphology in simulated deepwater environment. The current efficiency was always higher than 90% in all the experiment conditions.

Conditions for the coulometric generation of titanium(III) ions in buffer medium in the presence of sodium citrate were found on the basis of a study of the electrochemical behaviour of the Ti(III)/Ti(IV) system. A current efficiency of 100% was attained in acetic acid solution (c = 1 mol l-1) containing citric acid (c = 0.2 mol l-1) and titanium (IV) chloride (c = 0.1 mol l-1), with pH adjusted to 6 using sodium hydroxide, in the current density range 0.5 to 10 mA/cm2 using a mercury electrode and 1 to 2 mA/ cm2 using a paraffin-impregnated spectrographic carbon electrode. It was found that methanol does not affect the current efficiency at contents of up to 33% (v/v) and conditions were found for the coulometric titration of small amounts (0.2-2 mg) of some genotoxic derivatives of N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene.

The two-electron reduction of [(DAD)Ru(CO)2I2] (DAD = RN = CH -CH = NR ) gives the reactive ruthenates(O) [(DAD Ru(CO )2I]-, which add organic electrophiles to afford iodoruthenium organic com pounds such as [(DAD)Ru(CO)2(CH3)I] 3. Their electrochemical behaviour depends on the steric requirem ents of the D A D involved. With a small DAD (R = ipr) the oneelectron reduction gives a Ru(I) interm ediate, which finally yields a stable Ru-Ru-bonded dimer 4. With a bulky DAD(R - CH (ipr)2) the reduction proceeds to the organoruthenates [(DAD)Ru(CO)2R]-. The structure of the dimer 4 was determined by a single crystal X-rax diffraction study: C22H38N4O4Ru2 (624.69), space group F2dd, a = 9.944(2), b = 20.414(3), c = 27.644(5) Å , V = 5611,3(3) Å3, Z = 8; final R-value 0.034 from 2011 reflections. The molecule shows two almost planar (DAD )Ru(CO)2 units, which are staggered with respect to the Ru -Ru single bond. The methyl groups occupy the positions trans to this M-M bond. 4 represents a new type of chromophore with only one very intense and rather narrow absorption band near the infrared (λmax = 745 , ε = 30000 cm2 mmol-1), arising from the presence of a high-lying a-orbital, an antibonding combination of occupied d-orbitals and low-lying D A D π*-orbitals of proper symmetry.

The aim of this review is to give an update on current progress in the synthesis, properties and applications of thiophene-based conjugated systems bearing tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units. We focus mostly on the synthesis of poly- and oligothiophenes with TTF moieties fused to the thiophene units of the conjugated backbone either directly or via a dithiin ring. The electrochemical behaviour of these materials and structure–property relationships are discussed. The study is directed towards the development of a new type of organic semiconductors based on these hybrid materials for application in organic field effect transistors and solar cells.

The article deals with the process of electrochemical dissolution of zinc polarization by alternating current of 50 Hz frequency in a solution of sodium sulfate. The influence of various parameters on the current efficiency of zinc dissolution was considered: the current density on the titanium and zinc electrodes, electrolyte concentration, duration of electrolysis and temperature of electrolyte. It was shown that at change of current density on the titanium electrode from 10 kA/m2 up to 70 kA/m2 current efficiency of zinc dissolution increases (55%), and further down. At change of current density of zinc electrode from 200 A/m2 to 800 A/m2, electrolysis time from 0.25 to 2.0 hours and increase of temperature from 20°C to 80°C the current efficiency of dissolution decreases and with increasing concentrations of sodium sulphate increases to 90%. Based on the results shown it is possible to create a waste-free synthesis of zinc compounds from environmental harmful residues of zinc metal by electrochemical technology.

The electrochemical and diffusive properties of hydrogen in low-viscosity phosphonium ionic liquids were investigated by the electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The hydrogen redox reactions were concluded to be a quasi-reversible system in phosphonium-based ionic liquids. The diffusion coefficients of hydrogen in these ionic liquids were of the order of 10-10 m2 s-1 at 25 ° C. Additionally, the obtained activation energy of the diffusion process for hydrogen was 11.2 - 15:9 kJ mol-1 estimated from the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficients. A new type of proton conducting medium such as triethylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide was synthesized by the neutralization reaction, because the trialkylphosphine-based ionic liquids with good stability at higher temperature and high conductivity were appropriate candidates. This proton conducting membrane containing the ionic liquids with trialkylphosphine-based cations and the polyvinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene has been fabricated in the present study. The proton conducting membrane exhibits relatively high ionic conductivity along with good mechanical stability.

A new type of synthetic industrial diamond formed by an explosive shock process has been recently developed by the Du Pont Company. This material consists of a mixture of two basically different forms, as shown in Figure 1: relatively flat and compact aggregates of acicular crystallites, and single crystals in the form of irregular polyhedra with straight edges.Figure 2 is a high magnification micrograph typical for the fibrous aggregates; it shows that they are composed of bundles of crystallites 0.05-0.3 μ long and 0.02 μ. wide. The selected area diffraction diagram (insert in Figure 2) consists of a weak polycrystalline ring pattern and a strong texture pattern with arc reflections. The latter results from crystals having preferred orientation, which shows that in a given particle most fibrils have a similar orientation.

I. IntroductionThermionic electron gun with the Wehnelt grid is popularly used in the electron microscopy and electron beam micro-fabrication. It is well known that this gun could get the ideal brightness caluculated from the Lengumier and Richardson equations under the optimum condition. However, the design and ajustment to the optimum condition is not so easy. The gun has following properties with respect to the Wehnelt bias; (1) The maximum brightness is got only in the optimum bias. (2) In the larger bias than the optimum, the brightness decreases with increasing the bias voltage on account of the space charge effect. (3) In the smaller bias than the optimum, the brightness decreases with bias voltage on account of spreading of the cross over spot due to the aberrations of the electrostatic immersion lens.In the present experiment, a new type electron gun with the electrostatic and electromagnetic lens is designed, and its properties are examined experimentally.

After materials with superconducting temperatures higher than liquid nitrogen have been prepared, more emphasis has been on increasing the current densities (Jc) of high Tc superconductors than finding new materials with higher transition temperatures. Different processing techniques i.e thin films, shock wave processing, neutron radiation etc. have been applied in order to increase Jc. Microstructural studies of compounds thus prepared have shown either a decrease in gram boundaries that act as weak-links or increase in defect structure that act as flux-pinning centers. We have studied shock wave synthesized Tl-Ba-Cu-O and shock wave processed Y-123 superconductors with somewhat different properties compared to those prepared by solid-state reaction. Here we report the defect structures observed in the shock-processed Y-124 superconductors.
