The authors have developed the “GlowFlow” mass spectrometry source design based on an Argon flowing glow-discharge that can be retrofitted to existing instrumentation and ionise compounds at atmospheric pressure which are less amenable ESI.

The vibrational spectra of UBz and ThBz have been measured in solid argon. Complementary quantum chemical calculations have allowed the assignments of the vibrational spectra. According to the calculations, AcBz are stable molecules, as well as other species like BzAcBz and BzAc2Bz. Experimentally, there is no evidence for the sandwich compounds BzAcBz and BzAc2Bz due to the limitations in the ...

an analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. theequation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume,...

This application note highlights percentage level analysis of hydrogen on an Agilent Micro GC using a mixed carrier gas. Hydrogen is typically analyzed with argon carrier gas on a thermal conductivity detector. Argon however, will result in a decreased sensitivity for the other permanent gases. Helium carrier gas is, in most cases, also not a suitable alternative. Mixtures of helium and hydroge...

In this study, experimental Ti-Ag alloys (5, 10, and 20 mass% Ag) and Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10 mass% Cu) were made in an argon-arc melting furnace. The alloys were cast into magnesia molds using an argon gas-pressure dental casting machine, and the mechanical properties and microstructures of the castings were investigated. As the concentration of silver or copper in the alloys increased, the...

this study was designed to evaluate the effect of argon laser irradiation on development and progress of enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets.fifty caries-free, intact human premolars were randomly assigned to one of the following five equal groups: groups 1 (control) and 2: the brackets were bonded using conventional halogen light for 40s and argon laser for 10s, respectively. t...

Potassium-argon analysis by stqwise dissolution provides a way to measure in detail the distribution of argon isotopes and potassium in rock salt. The method can be used for salt that contains only trace amounts of potassium, because the potassium and argon in detrital silicates within the salt are not released during the dissolution. Water may be used as the solvent when relatively large a...

Viscosity, density, and interfacial tension of three binary systems (carbon dioxide–isopropanol, argon–isopropanol, sulphur hexafluoride–isopropanol) were measured at temperatures 313.15 K 333.15 pressures up to 100 bar for carbon dioxide, argon hexafluoride 500 bar. A vibrating tube densimeter method has been used density measurements a variable-volume high-pressure optical view cell with some...
