    Notes: Fe–Cr superlattices exhibit giant magnetoresistance effect which can be utilized in magnetic recording heads. There are many studies indicating the role of the interfacial structure on the magnetoresistance effect. To elucidate this point we have performed x-ray diffraction study of three [Fe(30 A(ring))/Cr(12 A(ring))]10 superlattices which had been sputtered in 4, 7, and 10 mTorr of Ar. We used position sensitive detector in horizontal setup to collect simultaneously specular scattering intensity (z component of the scattering vector Q perpendicular to the film) and off-specular intensity with y parallel to the plane of the sample. This technique allows to evaluate interfacial roughness at various length scales. Short range roughness may be due to interdiffusion, while some medium range roughness is also present, and could have effects on transport phenomena. In conventional low angle diffraction analysis these contributions are intermixed. From the Fourier transform of the scattered intensity distribution in Qx−Qy plane the interfacial height fluctuation function g(r)can be obtained (r is a lateral spacing). Figure 1 presents g(r) obtained for three samples of Fe–Cr. It is apparent that 4 mTorr sample is very different than 7 and 10 mTorr in terms of interfacial roughness. We will discuss in detail results of the diffraction studies together with the magnetization and magnetotransport data. ©1996 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(96)61408-0]

    Notes: The dissociative chemisorption of oxygen on Ir(110) has been investigated using supersonic molecular beam techniques. The initial probability of dissociative chemisorption (in the limit of zero surface coverage) as a function of incident kinetic energy between 1 and 28 kcal/mol and surface temperature from 85 to 1000 K is reported. For beam kinetic energies less than approximately 4 kcal/mol, the measured values of the initial probability of dissociative chemisorption are explained by a trapping-mediated adsorption mechanism. In this adsorption regime initial probabilities of dissociative chemisorption decrease with both increasing beam energy and surface temperature. The trapping probability of oxygen into the physically adsorbed state on Ir(110) as a function of incident beam energy is presented. For beam kinetic energies greater than ∼4 kcal/mol, a direct chemisorption mechanism dominates. In the direct adsorption regime, initial probabilities of dissociative chemisorption increase with increasing beam energy, and they are dependent on surface temperature, with the dependence decreasing with increasing surface temperature. This behavior is attributed to direct chemisorption into a molecularly chemisorbed state, from which there is a thermally activated kinetic competition between desorption and dissociation. A pseudo-steady-state kinetic model including physically adsorbed oxygen, molecularly chemisorbed oxygen, and atomically chemisorbed oxygen is applied to find that the activation barrier to desorption from the physically adsorbed molecular state is 1.6±0.1 kcal/mol higher than the barrier to conversion to the molecularly chemisorbed state. The activation barrier for desorption from the molecularly chemisorbed state is 1.5±0.15 kcal/mol greater than the barrier to dissociation from this state. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We compare here recent results of molecular beam investigations of the initial probability of trapping-mediated C–H and C–D bond cleavage of C2H6, C2D6, C3H8, and C3D8 on Ir(110) at low beam translational energy and surface temperatures, TS, from 85 to 800 K. Each of these systems is highly reactive at low TS and displays decreasing reactivity with increasing TS. Measurements of the initial probability of trapping-mediated chemisorption for both ethane and propane reveal an isotope effect, which we attribute to zero-point energy differences, with the perhydrido-species exhibiting greater reactivity at a given TS. A difference in activation energies for desorption vs reaction (C–D bond cleavage) for C2D6 has been found to be Ed–Er=1.8±0.3 kcal/mol, cf. Ed–Er=2.2 kcal/mol for C–H bond cleavage of C2H6. For the trapping-mediated dissociative chemisorption of propane on Ir(110), Ed–Er=4.2 kcal/mol for C–H bond cleavage of C3H8, and Ed–Er=3.2 kcal/mol for C–D bond cleavage of C3D8. A quantitative analysis of the initial probability of trapping-mediated dissociative chemisorption of ethane and propane on Ir(110), within the context of a classical kinetic model of barrier crossing from the physically adsorbed state to the dissociatively chemisorbed state, provides the most reasonable description of the observed adsorption behavior. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have employed molecular beam techniques to investigate the initial probability of direct dissociative chemisorption, Pd, and the intrinsic trapping probability, ξ, of C3H8, C3D8, and (CH3)2CD2 on Ir(110) as a function of beam translational energy, Ei, from 1.5 to 59 kcal/mol. For C3H8 and (CH3)2CD2, a measurable (≥ 0.02) initial probability of direct dissociative chemisorption is observed above a beam energy of approximately 7 kcal/mol. For C3D8 this energy is roughly 10 kcal/mol. Above these energies the initial probability of direct chemisorption of each of the isotopomers of propane increases nearly linearly with Ei, approaching a value of approximately Pd=0.48 at Ei=52 kcal/mol for C3H8 and (CH3)2CD2, and Pd=0.44 at Ei=59 kcal/mol for C3D8. This kinetic isotope effect for the direct chemisorption of C3D8 relative to C3H8 is smaller than that expected for a mechanism of H (or D) abstraction by tunneling through an Eckart barrier, suggesting a contribution of C–C bond cleavage to direct chemisorption. The lack of a kinetic isotope effect for the direct chemisorption of (CH3)2CD2 relative to C3H8 indicates that 1° C–H bond cleavage dominates over 2° C–H bond cleavage during the direct chemisorption of propane on Ir(110). The trapping behavior of each of these isotopomers of propane is approximately identical as a function of Ei, with ξ 〉0.9 at Ei=1.5 kcal/mol, ξ = 0.3 at Ei=20 kcal/mol, and ξ 〈 0.1 above Ei= 40 kcal/mol. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have employed molecular beam techniques to investigate the dissociative chemisorption of cyclopropane on Ir(110) as a function of beam translational energy, Ei, from 1.5 to 48 kcal/mol, and surface temperature, Ts, from 85 to 1200 K. For Ts=85 K, c-C3H6 is molecularly adsorbed on Ir(110) with a trapping probability, ξ, of 0.97 at Ei=1.5 kcal/mol and ξ=0.90 at Ei=5 kcal/mol. For Ei≤5 kcal/mol, c-C3H6 is dissociatively adsorbed through a mechanism of trapping-mediated chemisorption, with initial probabilities of chemisorption, Pa, decreasing with increasing surface temperature from the intrinsic trapping probability at Ts=150 K, to Pa〈0.05 above Ts=1000 K. The activation energy for trapping-mediated chemisorption of c-C3H6, referenced to the bottom of the physically adsorbed well and attributed to C–C bond cleavage, is 3.6±0.2 kcal/mol. For Ei≥10 kcal/mol, direct dissociative chemisorption increasingly contributes to the overall measured initial probability of chemisorption of cyclopropane. The initial probability of direct dissociative chemisorption of c-C3H6 increases approximately linearly from Pa=0.1 at Ei=10 kcal/mol, to Pa=0.5 at Ei=45 kcal/mol. No isotope effect is observed for the direct dissociative chemisorption of c-C3D6 for beam translational energies of 17 to 48 kcal/mol, indicating that C–C bond cleavage is the initial reaction coordinate for direct chemisorption of cyclopropane on Ir(110). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In many situations, inadequate design or performance of ground-water remediation systems is the result of underestimation of aquifer hydraulic heterogeneity, and in particular, the vertical variation of hydraulic conductivity which plays an important role in contaminant migration. Described herein are applications of the electromagnetic (EM) borehole flowmeter to fluvial sediments in Louisiana and South Carolina. The direction of natural vertical flow in the test aquifers was defined easily, and short pumping tests enabled the calculation of hydraulic conductivity profiles for each test well. The results correlated well with other information obtained independently, including natural gamma logs, driller's logs and a hydraulic conductivity profile based on grain size analysis. Large variations in hydraulic conductivity over short vertical and horizontal distances were documented. Tests in gravel-packed wells suggested that flowmeters produce misleading data for a variety of reasons in such situations. Among other things, an annulus of high permeability around a well screen allows flow to bypass the meter, and the phenomenon is amplified by high pumping rates. The resulting error is displayed as an erroneous high permeability zone at the top of the well screen. This observation deserves further study. In its present form the EM flowmeter is awkward to handle on a routine basis. However, none of the present design flaws preclude its effective use.

    Notes: We have employed molecular beam techniques to investigate the molecular trapping and trapping-mediated dissociative chemisorption of C3H8 and C3D8 on Ir(110) at low beam translational energies, Ei≤5 kcal/mol, and surface temperatures, Ts, from 85 to 1200 K. For Ts=85 K, C3H8 is molecularly adsorbed on Ir(110) with a trapping probability, ξ, equal to 0.94 at Ei=1.6 kcal/mol and ξ=0.86 at Ei=5 kcal/mol. At Ei=1.9 kcal/mol and Ts=85 K, ξ of C3D8 is equal to 0.93. From 150 K to approximately 700 K, the initial probabilities of dissociative chemisorption of propane decrease with increasing Ts. For Ts from 700 to 1200 K, however, the initial probability of dissociative chemisorption maintains the essentially constant value of 0.16. These observations are explained within the context of a kinetic model which includes both C–H (C–D) and C–C bond cleavage. Below 450 K propane chemisorption on Ir(110) arises essentially solely from C–H (C–D) bond cleavage, an unactivated mechanism (with respect to a gas-phase energy zero) for this system, which accounts for the decrease in initial probabilities of chemisorption with increasing Ts. With increasing Ts, however, C–C bond cleavage, the activation energy of which is greater than the desorption energy of physically adsorbed propane, increasingly contributes to the measured probability of dissociative chemisorption. The activation energies, referenced to the bottom of the physically adsorbed molecular well, for C–H and C–C bond cleavage for C3H8 on Ir(110) are found to be Er,CH=5.3±0.3 kcal/mol and Er,CC=9.9±0.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The activation energies for C–D and C–C bond cleavage for C3D8 on Ir(110) are 6.3±0.3 kcal/mol and 10.5±0.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The desorption activation energy of propane from Ir(110) is approximately 9.5 kcal/mol. These activation energies are compared to activation energies determined recently for ethane and propane adsorption on Ir(111), Ru(001), and Pt(110)–(1×2), and ethane activation on Ir(110). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) adhere to epithelial cells in microcolonies, a pattern termed localized adherence (LA). LA is dependent upon the presence of 50–70MDa plasmids, termed EPEC adherence factor (EAF) plasmids. Expression of an EAF plasm id-encoded type IV fimbria, the bundle-forming pilus (BFP), is associated with the LA phenotype. TnphoA insertions in bfpA, the gene encoding the major structural subunit of the BFP, abolish LA. While bfpA::TnphoA mutants cannot be complemented for LA by plasmids carrying the bfpA gene alone in trans, this work shows that they can be complemented by plasmids carrying the bfpA gene, as well as approximately 10kb of downstream sequence, suggesting that such mutations have polar effects on downstream genes. The identification and characterization of a cluster of 13 genes immediately downstream of bfpA are described. The introduction into a laboratory Escherichia coli strain of a plasmid containing these 14 bfp gene cluster genes, along with pJPN14, a plasmid containing another fragment derived from the EAF plasmid, confers LA ability and BFP biogenesis. However, when a mutation is introduced into the last gene of the bfp cluster, neither LA nor BFP biogenesis is conferred. This work also provides evidence to show that the fragment cloned in pJPN14 encodes a factor(s) which results in increased levels of the pilin protein. Finally, it is shown that expression of the 14 genes in the bfp cluster from an IPTG-inducible promoter, in the absence of pJPN14, is sufficient to reconstitute BFP biogenesis in a laboratory E. cob strain, but is insufficient for LA. This is the first report demonstrating the reconstitution of a type IV pilus in a laboratory E. coli strain with a defined set of genes. The 8FP system should prove to be a useful model for studying the molecular mechanisms of type IV pilus biogenesis.
