Metal (2) 4,4',4",4'" phthalocyanine tetraamines as curing agents for epoxy resins
Metal, preferably divalent copper, cobalt or nickel, phthalocyanine tetraamines are used as curing agents for epoxides. The resulting copolymers have high thermal and chemical resistance and are homogeneous. They are useful as binders for laminates, e.g., graphite cloth laminate
Metal phthalocyanine polymers
Metal 4, 4', 4", 4"'=tetracarboxylic phthalocyanines (MPTC) are prepared by reaction of trimellitic anhydride, a salt or hydroxide of the desired metal (or the metal in powdered form), urea and a catalyst. A purer form of MPTC is prepared than heretofore. These tetracarboxylic acids are then polymerized by heat to sheet polymers which have superior heat and oxidation resistance. The metal is preferably a divalent metal having an atomic radius close to 1.35A
Plasma Relaxation and Topological Aspects in Hall Magnetohydrodynamics
Parker's formulation of isotopological plasma relaxation process in
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is extended to Hall MHD. The torsion coefficient
alpha in the Hall MHD Beltrami condition turns out now to be proportional to
the "potential vorticity." The Hall MHD Beltrami condition becomes equivalent
to the "potential vorticity" conservation equation in two-dimensional (2D)
hydrodynamics if the Hall MHD Lagrange multiplier beta is taken to be
proportional to the "potential vorticity" as well. The winding pattern of the
magnetic field lines in Hall MHD then appears to evolve in the same way as
"potential vorticity" lines in 2D hydrodynamics
Property of the spectrum of large-scale magnetic fields from inflation
The property of the spectrum of large-scale magnetic fields generated due to
the breaking of the conformal invariance of the Maxwell theory through some
mechanism in inflationary cosmology is studied. It is shown that the spectrum
of the generated magnetic fields should not be perfectly scale-invariant but be
slightly red so that the amplitude of large-scale magnetic fields can be
stronger than G at the present time. This analysis is performed
by assuming the absence of amplification due to the late-time action of some
dynamo (or similar) mechanism.Comment: 8 pages, no figure; references correcte
Instability of Rotationally Tuned Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates
The possibility of effectively inverting the sign of the dipole-dipole
interaction, by fast rotation of the dipole polarization, is examined within a
harmonically trapped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. Our analysis is based on
the stationary states in the Thomas-Fermi limit, in the corotating frame, as
well as direct numerical simulations in the Thomas-Fermi regime, explicitly
accounting for the rotating polarization. The condensate is found to be
inherently unstable due to the dynamical instability of collective modes. This
ultimately prevents the realization of robust and long-lived rotationally tuned
states. Our findings have major implications for experimentally accessing this
regime.Comment: 9 pages with 5 figure
Ion laser plasmas
The typical noble gas ion laser plasma consists of a high-current-density glow discharge in a noble gas, in the presence of a magnetic field. Typical CW plasma conditions are current densities of 100 to 2000 A/cm^2, tube diameters of 1 to 10 mm, filling pressures of 0.1 to 1.0 torr, and an axial magnetic field of the order of 1000 G. Under these conditions the typical fractional ionization is about 2 percent and the electron temperature between 2 and 4 eV. Pulsed ion lasers typically use higher current densities and lower operating pressures.
This paper discusses the properties of ion laser plasmas, in terms of both their external discharge parameters and their internal ion and excited state densities. The effect these properties have on laser operation is explained. Many interesting plasma effects, which are important in ion lasers, are given attention. Among these are discharge nonuniformity near tube constrictions, extremely high ion radial drift velocities, wall losses intermediate between ambipolar diffusion and free fall, gas pumping effects, and radiation trapping. The current status of ion laser technology is briefly reviewed
