The time-resolved resonance Raman spectra of the first triplet state and the cw resonance Raman spectra of the radical cation are reported for various isotopic derivatives of the N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) and of the N,N,N′,N′-tetraethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TEPD). Vibrational assignments and structural implications are discussed. The radical cation spectra are consistent with a semiquinoidal conformation of the ionized species. They are characterized by a significant frequency increase of the in-phase ν(N–ring) mode with respect to the ground state spectra (Δν≥120 cm−1) and by the high resonance enhancement of various bands assigned to vibrations of the N(alkyl)2 groups, resulting from couplings of these vibrations with modes of the π chromophore. The triplet spectra display almost only bands due to vibrations of the N(alkyl)2 groups, implying that similar couplings take place in the T1 state. Two signals characterize the N–ring–N framework: one is assigned to the Wilson ring mode 9a (CH bending ); the second one, a strong signal around 1500 cm−1, corresponds to a vibration involving a large contribution of the N–ring stretching motion and possibly also of the ring mode 8a.
Nonoriented electrical steels have been cut using pulsed or continuous-laser techniques and mechanical cutting has been used as a reference. The corresponding states of internal stresses at the cut edges have been systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction, for both laser and mechanical cut samples. The characteristic magnetic properties measured at 50 Hz and 1.5 tesla, total weight losses , coercive field , remanent induction , and maximum differential permeability , have been determined. Results tend to prove the superiority of mechanical cutting for the larger samples. Whereas higher thermal stresses were induced when using the laser-pulsed mode, magnetic properties were less deteriorated compared with the continuous-laser cutting technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
