Abstract:
For the production of 1,2,3-trichloro-2-methylpropane, 3-chloro-2-methylpropene is reacted with sulfuryl chloride in the presence of aldehydes and/or under the effect of light, especially UV light. The reaction is preferably performed in the liquid phase, especially at 30.degree.-65.degree. C. under normal pressure.
Abstract:
Ethylene and like organic impurities are removed from anhydrous hydrogen halide by subjecting a gaseous stream of the hydrogen halide to laser radiation having a wavelength corresponding to a wavelength at which the ethylene absorbs radiation, in an amount effective to achieve dielectric breakdown.
Abstract:
A semiconductor ion implantation processing technique is disclosed for implanting high purity, high flux density ions in a semiconductor wafer substrate. A reactant gas is irradiated with excimer pulsed ultraviolet laser radiation at a discrete designated pulsed wavelength corresponding to a discrete designated ionization excitation energy of the gas photochemically breaking bonds of the gas to nonthermally photolytically ionize the gas. The ions are then accelerated by an electric field for subsequent implantation into a surface.
Abstract:
Hydrogen, embrittlement in metals, alloys or welded portions thereof, which causes cracks, breakage and the like, is prevented by emitting an ionizing radiation to a metal, alloy or a welded portion thereof to diffuse and exhale hydrogen charged in said metal.
Abstract:
This invention provides a method of continuously manufacturing a cross-linked polyvinyl chloride resin foam sheet which has a low density, uniformly fine cell, excellent thermal moldability and high heat resistance and is neither deformed nor deteriorated even by long storage characterized by uniformly kneading the polyvinyl chloride resin with a blowing agent, stabilizer, plasticizer and cross-linking promoter without causing the blowing agent to decompose itself, thereby providing an unfoamed kneaded composition in which the polyvinyl chloride resin is gelled and forming said composition into a continuing sheet, irradiating said sheet with ionizing radiation to cross-link the resin; and thermally foaming the cross-linked sheet.
Abstract:
Molecules are tritiated by depositing molecules of a substance to be tritiated on a supporting substrate in a vacuum chamber, and then subjecting the substance to low pressures of tritium gas. In a second embodiment of the invention, a substance is tritiated by placing the same near, but not in the path of, an electron beam which traverses a chamber; admitting tritium gas into the chamber; and subjecting the tritium to the electron beam thereby generating vibrationally excited tritium gas molecules which collide and react with the substance thus incorporating tritium atoms into the substance.
Abstract:
Isotopes are separated from an isotopically mixed molecular dopant dissolved in a cryogenic liquid. The solution is exposed to infrared laser light in order to selectively vibrationally excite a particular molecular species which contains the isotope or isotopes that are to be separated. The excited species then is reacted or dissociated to form recoverable reaction products rich in the isotope desired.
Abstract:
Stable paramagnetic alkali radical cationic triple ions of selected 1,2 and 1,4 dicarbonyl compounds and their nitrogen-containing analogs have been produced by both conventional alkali metal reduction of an appropriate organic compound and by a novel process in which the selected 1,2 or 1,4 dicarbonyl compound or the nitrogen containing analog thereof is mixed with an alkali tetraphenylborate and irradiated under ultraviolet light.
Abstract:
A desired isotope mixed with one or more other isotopes is selectively excited by laser radiation absorbed by only that isotope, so that that one isotope selectively enters into a chemical reaction with a reaction partner fed to the mixture. The desired selectivity can be degraded here by thermally activated reactions between the other isotopes and the partner. To avoid this effect, the mixture and partner in the necessary reaction vessel are irradiated for one or more short time intervals after each of which the vessel's content is adiabatically emptied into a vacuum vessel. Each time interval may be made short enough to avoid the thermal activation.
Abstract:
Production of F.sub.2.sup.+ color centers in alkali halide crystals with densities high enough for efficient use in lasers is achieved by a two-step, highly selective photoionization mechanism. This mechanism is coupled with the use of suitable divalent metal ions as efficient and stable electron traps to allow nearly 100 percent conversion of F.sub.2 color centers to F.sub.2.sup.+ color centers. The two-step photoionization mechanism comprises photo-exciting the F.sub.2 color center to the first bound state, which requires lower energy than the corresponding transition for F color centers, then photoionizing the F.sub.2 color center from the first bound state, and finally, capturing the electron thus liberated on the divalent metal ions.
