Structure and Mechanical Properties of Some Titanium STRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOME TITANIUM —HYDROGEN ALLOYS. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by STEWART MURRAY, BSc. Metallurgy Department, Imperial College, London, SW7 2BP. March, 1973. - 2 - ABSTRACT The microstructural effects of hydrogen on commercial purity (c.p.) IMI Till5 have been investigated with a more limited study of the a alloy Ti-5A1-21Sn and the a/ one Ti-6A1-4V. The main features studied in alloys of c.p. Ti with 0.8-7.0 at.% H2 have been (i) hydride platelet size as a function of cooling rate from the a (Ti) phase field and the changes produced by ageing quenched alloys. (ii) the morphologies of the three habit variants found; {lOIO} {1012} and {1252} and their formation as a function of hydrogen content. (iii) the relief markings (on pre- polished surfaces) associated with hydride formation. (iv) the influence of applied tensile stress during precipitation on the alignment of the hydrides. Techniques for determining habit planes and pseudomartensitic shape strains directly in the SEM were developed and these were found to require a correction procedure for SEM image distortion and a calibration of the electron-optical geometry and specimen movement facilities. Because of their general applicability these techniques are described in Appendix form. In association with the measurements of (i) above, the hardness and notch-impact toughness of c.p. titanium-hydrogen alloys have been investigated. For the Ti-6A1-4V alloy, the hydrogen partition between the a and $ phases has been determined as a function of hydrogen content and cooling rate. The notched stress-rupture properties of this alloy were investigated by means of elongation-time plots and fractographic techniques and the inferior resistance to hydrogen of coarse 8-matrix structures was associated with a/8 interfacial failure. - 3 - CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT 2 CONTENTS 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 8 CHAPTER 1.

ABSTRACT: Structural and spectroscopic characterization of the dimeric iron t hydride complex [Ph2B( BuIm)2FeH]2 reveals an unusual structure in which a tetrahedral iron(II) site (S = 2) is connected to a square planar iron(II) site (S =1) by two bridging hydride ligands. Magnetic susceptibility reveals strong ferromagnetic coupling between iron centers, with a coupling constant of J = −1 o legitimately share published articles. +110(12) cm , to give an S = 3 ground state. High-frequency and -field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR) spectroscopy confirms this model. A qualitative molecular orbital analysis of the electronic structure, as supported by electronic structure calculations, reveals that the observed spin configuration results from the orthogonal alignment of two geometrically distinct four-coordinate iron fragments held together by highly covalent hydride ligands.

When my undergraduate advisor Donald Berry told me that graduate studies at Caltech are unique, I could not realize how true that was at the time. There have been many good moments, and surely many challenging ones as well. I went from being John Bercaw’s academic grandson to his son in a matter of a few months in the summer of 2003. John has allowed me from the very beginning to work on the projects I was most interested in. His hands-off approach was instrumental in my rapid development as a chemist over the last few years. Thank you for everything you have brought me all these years. I also want to acknowledge Jay Labinger for his guidance. Always available, Jay answered many questions and helped out whenever I was stuck on a problem. I truly enjoyed playing tennis with you. I should also thank my thesis committee, Harry Gray, David Tirrell, and Jacqueline Barton, for great advice during candidacy, as well as throughout the proposals and thesis exams.

  • A Theoretical Study of Cr/Oxide Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of Short Alkanes
    A Theoretical Study of Cr/oxide Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of Short Alkanes Sindre Lillehaug Department of Chemistry University of Bergen 2006 Dissertation submitted for the degree of doctor scientiarum Jeg skjønner alt for mye og ingenting Og hjernen min sier pling pling pling a aLars Lillo-Stenberg Preface Natural gas reserves are being produced at increasing rates world wide, thus providing an abundance of short-alkane feedstock for the petrochemical industry. Effective routes to selective activation of short alkanes may represent a bottleneck of this development. In this respect, processes of catalytic dehydrogenation have significant economic potential. Several catalysts have been investigated and some are implemented industrially. At the core of one such catalyst are species of chromium oxide supported on the surface of amor- phous alumina. Since the original report by Frey and Huppke in 1933, this system has been under study, the literature expanding with the development of experimental meth- ods. However, due to the heterogeneity of the Cr/alumina surfaces a structure-activity relationship has not been determined to date. Opinions are converging regarding the ox- idation state of active chromium, but little is known about the nano-range surroundings of the active site. The involvement of oxygen ligands is a popular issue related to the mechanism of catalysis. Other remaining questions concern the chromium nuclearity of the active surface site and the role of the oxide support. With the development of quantum chemical tools and powerful hardware, computa- tional modelling emerges as a manageable complement to experiment. The combination may lead to novel insight into the structure-activity relationship on Cr/oxide surfaces.

In catalytic MHAT reactions, earth-abundant metal complexes generate stabilized and unstabilized carbon-centered radicals from alkenes of various substitution patterns with robust chemoselectivity. This perspective combines organic and inorganic perspectives to outline challenges and opportunities, and to propose working models to assist further developments.

  • The Exomol Atlas of Molecular Opacities
    atoms Article The ExoMol Atlas of Molecular Opacities Jonathan Tennyson * ID and Sergei N. Yurchenko ID Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 February 2018; Accepted: 4 May 2018; Published: 10 May 2018 Abstract: The ExoMol project is dedicated to providing molecular line lists for exoplanet and other hot atmospheres. The ExoMol procedure uses a mixture of ab initio calculations and available laboratory data. The actual line lists are generated using variational nuclear motion calculations. These line lists form the input for opacity models for cool stars and brown dwarfs as well as for radiative transport models involving exoplanets. This paper is a collection of molecular opacities for 52 molecules (130 isotopologues) at two reference temperatures, 300 K and 2000 K, using line lists from the ExoMol database. So far, ExoMol line lists have been generated for about 30 key molecular species. Other line lists are taken from external sources or from our work predating the ExoMol project. An overview of the line lists generated by ExoMol thus far is presented and used to evaluate further molecular data needs. Other line lists are also considered. The requirement for completeness within a line list is emphasized and needs for further line lists discussed. Keywords: exoplanets; brown stars; cool stars; opacity; molecular spectra; ExoMol 1. Introduction Molecular opacities dictate the atmospheric properties and evolution of a whole range of cool stars and all brown dwarfs. They are also important for the radiative transport properties of exoplanets.

The characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres has shown a wide diversity of compositions. Hot Jupiters have the appropriate temperatures to host metallic compounds, which should be detectable through transmission spectroscopy. Aims. We aim to detect exotic species in the transmission spectra of hot Jupiters, specifically WASP-31b, by testing a variety of chemical species to explain the spectrum. Methods. We conduct a re-analysis of publicly available transmission data of WASP-31b using the Bayesian retrieval framework TAUREX II. We retrieve various combinations of the opacities of 25 atomic and molecular species to determine the minimum set that is needed to fit the observed spectrum. Results. We report evidence for the spectroscopic signatures of chromium hydride (CrH), H2O, and K in WASP-31b. Compared to a flat model without any signatures, a CrH-only model is preferred with a statistical significance of ∼3:9σ.
