We report 29Si NMR study on a single crystal of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeIrSi3 without an inversion symmetry along the c axis. The 29Si Knight-shift measurements under pressure have revealed that the spin susceptibility for the ab plane decreases slightly below T(c), whereas along the c axis it does not change at all. The result can be accounted for by the spin susceptibility in the s...

Two intramolecularly donor-stabilized silenes, l-(8-dimethylamino-l-naphthyl)-l,2,2-tris(trimethylsilyl)silene (1 ), and l-[bis-2 ,6 -(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl]-l,2 ,2 -tris(trimethylsilyl)silene 2, were studied by 2 9 Si and C NMR spectroscopy, using polarization transfer techniques in order to determine coupling constants V (2 9 Si,2 9 Si) in = 1,2, 3) and '/ ( 2 9 Si,l3 C) together with is...

NMR crystallography has recently been applied to great effect for silica zeolites. Here we investigate whether it is possible to extend the structural information available from routine NMR spectra via a simple structure-spectrum relationship. Unlike previous empirically derived relationships that have compared experimental crystal structures for (often disordered) silicates with experimental N...

Influence of Aluminum, Gallium, Indium- Doping on the Boron-Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) investigated with density functional theory (DFT) and Hartreefock (HF) methods. For this purpose, the chemical shift of difference atomic nucleus was studied using the gauge included atomic orbital (GIAO) approch. In the following, structural parameter values, electrostatic potential, thermodynamic parameters,...

quaternary ammonium compounds (qacs) are employed both as disinfectants for manual processing lines and surfaces in the food industry, and in human medicine area. qacs also cause cell death by protein denaturation . one of the qac is cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ctab) that appears to rapture the cell membrane. the primary site of action of ctab has been suggested to be the lipid components...

We report the discovery of a presolar SiC grain (KJB2-11-17-1) with unusual Si-isotopic composition. The grain has 29Si/28Si = 1.63 × solar, 30Si/28Si = 0.82 × solar, 12C/13C = 265 ( = 3 × solar), and evidence for the presence of radiogenic 44Ca from the decay of 44Ti. A comparison of these isotopic signatures with stellar models suggests an origin in a 15 M Type II supernova. It is possible to...
