The expansion of a gas within a piston-cylinder arrangement is studied in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat transfer which occurs during this process. While the situation of heat transfer during the expansion of a gas has received considerable attention, the process is still not very well...
The photoelectron spectra of a series of ketone
compounds have been investigated in the gas phase. Core
ionization energies were measured to probe the effects of
molecular size and connectivity number on core ionization
energies.
It was found that core ionization energies roughly
decrease with increasing connectivity number as expected....
Two framework oxide materials of the MO₃ network type have been synthesized and structurally characterized by synchrotron and X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method in the temperature range 25~500 K. The results show one of them to be a low thermal expansion material. Theoretical studies of negative thermal expansion...
