New high-resolution visible Fourier transform emission spectra of the A (2)Π → X (2)Σ(+) and B' (2)Σ(+) → X (2)Σ(+) systems of (24)MgD and of the B' (2)Σ(+) → X (2)Σ(+) systems of (25,26)MgD and (25,26)MgH have been combined with earlier results for (24)MgH in a multi-isotopologue direct-potential-fit analysis to yield improved analytic potential energy and Born-Oppenheimer breakdown functions ...

We report on the detection by means of Raman spectroscopy amorphous beryllium deuteride, BeD 2 , in magnetron sputtered deposits synthesized two different laboratories and containing about 20 at.% deuterium. In contrast, this signature has not been found for JET limiter samples studied coming from inner, outer or upper limiters, even when a deposition zone limiters. give way to disentangle that...

We present infrared absorption studies of solid hydrogen deuteride to pressures as high as 340 GPa (100  GPa=1  Mbar) in a diamond anvil cell and temperatures in the range 5-295 K. Above 198 GPa the HD sample transforms to a mixture of HD, H_{2}, and D_{2}, interpreted as a process of dissociation and recombination. Three new phase lines are observed, two of which differ remarkably from those o...

Precocene Analogues, Deuteration A convenient route for the preparation of title compounds from benzopyran-4-one (1) and its corresponding 3,3-H2 deuterated analogue (2) is reported. Treatment of 1 or 2 with lithium aluminum deuteride followed by dehydration afforded, respectively, 4-H precocene (3c) or 3,4-H2 precocene (3b). Likewise, reduction of 2 with lithium aluminum hydride and subsequent...

The electrochemical cell and a technique for precision calorimetric measurements has been developed. Experiments with molten salts containing lithium deuteride were carried out. Calorimetric measurements made on the titanium anode during experiments. Measurements were made in an inert atmosphere of helium and in an atmosphere of deuterium at various density of an electrolysis current. Excess he...
