Most previous attempts to obtain X-ray diffraction data at very low temperatures (< 80 K) have used custom built systems with closed cycle helium refrigerators mounted on large, robust four circle diffractometers. In order to remove the inherent disadvantages of these systems - cost, single application, absorption and scattering of the windows - we have built an open flow system from mainly off-the-shelf components which uses liquid helium as the cryogen. This is not the first open flow helium system [19, 20] but is the first that is mainly off-the-shelf and is mountable on any diffractometer. It is based on an ADP Helitran ESR cryostat with modifications to the nozzle assembly and to the direction of the gas flow. The lowest temperature is estimated to be <30K. At the current price for liquid helium in... 

Of all the metals in the Periodic Table, lanthanide-based coolants are amongst the most suitable as replacements for helium systems as they can operate best in the low-temperature regime. We now describe some theoretical ideas showing how any paramagnet is able to act as a refrigerant, what makes lanthanide(III) ions special for this application and also a brief summary of current technologies. 

The sample is put in a 4He cryostat and enclosed by a shield thermally connected to the liquid helium reservoir. A second thermal shield connected to a liquid nitrogen reservoir encloses all the liquid helium system, allowing for a slow warming-up cycle in order to ensure thermal homogeneity of sample and holder. A window in the dewar enables the laser beam to enter the chamber and to reach the sample through small bores in both thermal shields. The sample is fixed onto a copper support that is in good thermal contact... 

At the same time that Heisenberg was formulating his approach to the helium system, Born and Oppenheimer indicated how to formulate a quantum mechanical description of molecules that justified approximations already in use in treatment of band spectra. The theory was worked out while Oppenheimer was resident in Gottingen and constituted his doctoral dissertation. Born and Oppenheimer justified why molecules could be regarded as essentially fixed particles insofar as the electronic motion was concerned, and they derived the "potential" energy function for the nuclear motion. This approximation was to become the "clamped-nucleus" approximation among quantum chemists in decades to come.36...

Table 13.1). In the solid P(CH4) > P(CD4) but the curves cross below the melting point and the vapor pressure IE for the liquids is inverse (Pd > Ph). For water and methane Tc > Tc, but for water Pc > Pc and for methane Pc < Pc- As always, the primes designate the lighter isotopomer. At LV coexistence pliq(D20) < Pliq(H20) at all temperatures (remember the p s are molar, not mass, densities). For methane pliq(CD4) < pLiq(CH4) only at high temperature. At lower temperatures Pliq(CH4) < pliq(CD4). The critical density of H20 is greater than D20, but for methane pc(CH4) < pc(CD4). Isotope effects are large in the hydrogen and helium systems and pLIQ/ < pLiQ and P > P across the liquid range. Pc < Pc and pc < pc for both pairs. Vapor pressure and molar volume IE s are discussed in the context of the statistical theory of isotope effects in condensed phases in Chapters 5 and 12, respectively. The CS treatment in this chapter offers an alternative description.

Eqns (16), (20) and (22) were integrated numerically to obtain the separation performance of the one- and two-column processes The GEAR package (13) was used for the integration after determining that it was faster than, say, Runge-Kutta methods For all calculations N 50 and e - 0.40 Dimensionless parameters varied were 8, ph pL Yf and, for the two-column process, H. Combinations of the parameters of 6 and Pr/Pl were chosen to correspond to the me thane-helium system on BPL carbon Adsorption isotherm data for methane at 25°C (14) were represented by... 

A preliminary study of the most recent analyses of meteorites of different classes showed that, either for any one class or for the meteorites as a whole the even numbered or helium system elements are very much more abundant than those of the odd numbered or lithium system. For a more detailed study use was made of the data collected by Farrington, who suggests that the average composition of meteorites may represent the composition of the earth as a whole. 

In Figure 10.8 we have plotted the variation of the ratios of mass transfer coefficients 12/ 11 k i/k22 for an acetone-benzene-helium system considered in Example 11.5.3. The Chilton-Colburn analogy predicts that these ratios would be independent of Re, as shown by the horizontal lines in Figure 10.8. The von Karman turbulent model, on the other hand, predicts that the influence of coupling should decrease with increase in Re. The latter trend is in accord with our physical intuition. Depending on the driving forces for mass transfer, the Chilton-Colburn and the von Karman turbulent models could predict different directions of transfer of acetone (see, e.g., Krishna, 1982). 

Example 11-4 Rothfeld has measured diffusion rates for isobutane, in the isobutane-helium system, through a -in.-Iong pelleted cylinder of alumina (diameter in.). The measurements were at 750 mm Hg total pressure and 25°C, and the diffusion direction was through the pellet parallel to the central axis. The following data are available for Harshaw alumina, type A1-0104-T ... 

Solution a) According-to the procedure of Example 11-1 (the Chapman-Enskog equation), the bulk diffusivity in the isobutane-helium system at 750 mm Hg pressure and 25°C is... 

W. Wakao and J. M. Smith [Chem. Eng. ScL, 17, 825 (1962)] thoroughly analyzed the diffusion data of Rothfeld. These data were obtained in an apparatus of the type shown in Fig. 11-1. For the butane-helium system this means that A He/ c is 3.80. Diffusion is far from equimolal, suggesting that Eqs. (11-26) and (11-27) for D values are not exact. For this particular case Eq. (11-2) should be used. In most reaction systems the counterdififusion of reactants and products is much closer to equimolal, so that Eqs. (11-26) and (11-27) are better approximations. 

The development of a full angular momentum, three dimensional, smooth exterior complex dilated, finite element method for computing bound and resonant states in a wide class of quantum systems is described. Applications to the antiprotonic helium system, doubly excited states in the helium atom and to a model of a molecular van der Waals complex are discussed. 2001 by Academic Press.

Figure 1 Definition of the Jacobi coordinates for the antiprotonic helium system.

The antiprotonic helium system was used as a model when developing our nonzero angular momentum 3D finite element method. This is an example of a system for which the wave function cannot exactly be decomposed into an angular and a radial part. Besides the helium like atoms it is the experimentally most accurately known three-body system. 

He + H2 exhibit gas-gas equilibria of the second type and He + Ne shows a certain tendency for such a phase behaviour, gas-gas equilibrium of the first type has been found in the He + Xe system by de Swaan Arons and Diepen (see also Figure 19) and in the He + CO2 system by Tsiklis. The system He + CH4 belongs to an intermediate type. It has been shown by Trappeniers and Schouten that the critical behaviour of Ne + Kr (see Figure 20) resembles that of He + Ar. Other helium systems have been investigated. It is...
