Zintl cluster chemistry in the alkali-metal-gallium systems

Description: Previous research into the alkali-metal-gallium systems has revealed a large variety of networked gallium deltahedra. The clusters are analogues to borane clusters and follow the same electronic requirements of 2n+2 skeletal electrons for closo-deltahedra. This work has focused on compounds that do not follow the typical electron counting rules. The first isolated gallium cluster was found in Cs{sub 8}Ga{sub 11}. The geometry of the Ga{sub 11}{sup 7{minus}} unit is not deltahedral but can be de… more

Zirconium-titanium phosphate acid catalysts synthesized by sol gel techniques

Description: Recently a large effort has been put into identifying solid acid materials, particularly sulfated zirconia and other sulfated metal oxides, that can be used to replace environmentally hazardous liquid acids in industrial processes. The authors are studying a group of mixed metal phosphates, some of which have also been sulfated, for their catalytic and morphological characteristics. Zirconium and titanium are the metals used in this study and the catalysts are synthesized from alkoxide starting… more

Zircons and fluids: An experimental investigation with applications for radioactive waste storage. Final report, July 1, 1988--July 31, 1994

Description: The project objective was to develop a relationship between the stability of zircons (both natural and synthetic) with variable levels of radiation damage to fluids because of the clear relationship between enhanced solubility (leachability) and {alpha} - damage, our research was able to quantify this process. We also analyzed the mechanics of fractures induced due to both radiation and temperature enhanced stresses. Both objective were successfully carried out, and although details are availab… more

The ZOOM Fermilab physics class libraries

Description: Several years ago, the two major collider experiments at Fermilab (D#31; and CDF) decided that new software development for Run II will be largely done in C++. The run is slated to start in 1.5 years, an aggressive time frame for a major change in development language and style. If despite the transition each experiment (and sometimes multiple groups within an experiment) were to develop each needed mod- ule, the C++ strategy would not be advantageous. Thus it was deemed useful to have a librar… more

Zr and Mo isotopes in single presolar graphite grains : a record of stellar nucleosynthesis.

Description: Thirty-two individual graphite grains from the Murchison meteorite were analyzed for their Mo and/or Zr isotopic compositions by laser ablation resonant ionization mass spectrometry. {sup 96}Zr/{sup 94}Zr ratios range from 0.074 times to 10 times the solar value. Five grains have depletions in {sup 96}Zr, suggestive of the s-process, and two grains have extraordinary enrichments in {sup 96}Zr, suggestive of the r-process. Most graphite grains have close-to-terrestrial Mo isotopic imposition, bu… more
