    Notes: The energetics of the Cl2/MgO(001) interface were investigated using the ab initio periodic Hartree–Fock (PHF) method and local density functional correlation corrections to PHF theory, as implemented in the program CRYSTAL92. Estimates of the correlation corrected PHF energies are made by post-SCF evaluations of three gradient corrected functionals. The correlation energy is calculated from the fully converged ground state PHF charge density and added to the PHF total energy. This is the first study of interfacial energetics using the correlation corrected PHF theory. PHF and correlation corrected molecule/surface binding energies are reported for seven orientations of the adsorbate with respect to the surface plane. Three of the configurations align the intramolecular axes along the surface normal and the remaining geometries arrange the molecules heat-to-tail, parallel to the surface plane. The most favorable interaction occurs when chlorine approaches a surface oxygen along the normal direction. This site preference is consistent with a classical electrostatic description of the physisorption process. The binding energy increases with decreasing surface coverage. At the most dilute coverage studied (1:8) the PHF binding energy was 4.1 kcal/mol and the correlation corrected binding energies ranged from 9.2 to 10.3 kcal/mol. All three functionals tended to increase the molecule/surface attractions, shorten the molecule/surface equilibrium distance, increase the curvature of the molecule/surface potential energy surface near equilibrium, and reduce the molecule/molecule repulsions.

    Notes: This paper describes an inductive magnetization sensor, designed to measure thin superconducting films (of order 3000 A(ring)) in very strong magnetic fields. For magnetic fields in the range 250–500 kG, the sensitivity of the probe is 10−2 emu. Accuracy and high sensitivity were obtained by combining a sample extraction system, vibration isolation, and an inductive sensor with optimized flux coupling geometry. The magnetic flux coupling to the sensor was verified to exceed 70%, both by calculation and experimental calibration. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present an investigation of current-induced heating in polymer light emitting diodes. Using short electrical pulse measurements, we were able to quantify the temperature rise in the active region. We consider that heating effects play a major role in limiting the maximum efficiency of devices and in initiating degradation mechanisms. Heating and heat sinking are also discussed in the context of electrically pumped polymer lasers. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The following paper presents the results of a theoretical study that probed the chemistry of water at structural defects on the MgO (001) surface. The computational technique used was periodic Hartree–Fock (PHF) theory with density functional based correlation corrections. The adsorption energies for water adsorbed on isolated corner, edge, and surface sites on the MgO surface were compared to the hydroxylation energies for the same sites. As stated in a previous paper, the binding of water to the perfect surface is exothermic by 4.1-5.6 kcal/mol whereas hydroxylating the perfect surface was endothermic by 24.5 kcal/mol. At step-edge sites, the process of water adsorption is exothermic and comparable in magnitude to the hydroxylation of these sites. The binding energies associated with water bound to the step-edge are 6.5–10.5 kcal/mol, and hydroxylation of this site is exothermic by 7.3 kcal/mol. At corner sites we find a strong preference for hydroxylation. The binding of water to a corner is exothermic by 20.7 kcal/mol, and hydroxylation is exothermic by 67.3 kcal/mol. Mulliken populations indicate that the formation of a hydroxylated surface is governed by the stability of the hydroxyl bond where a hydrogen is bonded to a surface oxygen ion. As the coordination number of this oxygen binding site decreases, its ionic character also decreases, and it forms a more stable bond with the incoming hydrogen. This trend is confirmed by the densities of states for these sites. Finally, hydroxylation of the perfect (001) surface was examined as a function of lattice dilation. It was determined that, as the lattice constant increases, hydroxylation becomes more energetically favorable. This may be important in interpreting experimental thin-film results where the lattice constant of the substrate upon which the MgO film is deposited is slightly larger than that of bulk MgO.

    Notes: Recently, a new mechanism for the stabilization of the polar surfaces of ZnO has been proposed. This mechanism involves the transfer of electrons between the (0001) and (0001¯) surface. In the current study an alternative mechanism involving the adsorption of water onto the polar surfaces has been investigated using ab initio all electron, hybrid density-functional theory. On the basis of the current study, such a stabilization mechanism can be ruled out at low-temperatures and low-partial pressure of water. In addition, we present evidence that the ZnO(0001¯)–O surface may be a gas sensor for hydrogen. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used specifically to detect the mycoplasma-like organism (MLO) associated with lethal yellowing disease of palms in Florida. For PCR, a pair of oligonucleotide primers was synthesized according to partial sequences of a cloned 1·3 kbp fragment of lethal yellowing MLO-specific genomic DNA isolated from a diseased windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei). A DNA product of about 1 kbp was specifically amplified by PCR in reaction mixtures containing template DNA derived from either heart, inflorescence or leaf tissues of lethal yellowing-affected palms. PCR performed for 35 cycles with as little as 5 pg of DNA template, in some instances, was sufficient consistently to amplify the same lethal yellowing MLO DNA product from hearts of 11 species comprising 30 symptomatic palms. Similar reliable and reproducible detection of the lethal yellowing MLO in palm inflorescence spikelets was also achieved after 35 cycles of PCR. When template DNA for PCR was derived from tissues of the the most immature emerging leaf, a 40-cycle reaction was sufficient for consistent foliar detection of the pathogen in all coconut palms including palms with earliest visible symptoms of disease.

    Notes: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were used to detect phytoplasmas in foliage samples from Chinaberry (Melia azedarach) trees displaying symptoms of yellowing, little leaf and dieback in Bolivia. A ribosomal coding nuclear DNA (rDNA) product (1·8 kb) was amplified from one or more samples from seven of 17 affected trees by PCR employing phytoplasma-universal rRNA primer pair P1/P7. When P1/P7 products were reamplified using nested rRNA primer pair R16F2n/R16R2, phytoplasmas were detected in at least one sample from 13 of 17 trees with symptoms. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of P1/P7 products indicated that trees CbY1 and CbY17 harboured Mexican periwinkle virescence (16SrXIII)-group and X-disease (16SrIII)-group phytoplasmas, respectively. Identification of two different phytoplasma types was supported by reamplification of P1/P7 products by nested PCR employing X-disease-group-specific rRNA primer pair R16mF2/WXint or stolbur-group-related primer pair fSTOL/rSTOL. These assays selectively amplified rDNA products of 1656 and 579 bp from nine and five trees with symptoms, respectively, of which two trees were coinfected with both phytoplasma types. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequences revealed Chinaberry yellows phytoplasma strain CbY17 to be most similar to the chayote witches’-broom (ChWBIII-Ch10) agent, a previously classified 16SrIII-J subgroup phytoplasma. Strain CbY1 resembled the Mexican periwinkle virescence phytoplasma, a 16SrXIII-group member. The latter strain varied from all known phytoplasmas composing group 16SrXIII. On this basis, strain CbY1 was assigned to a new subgroup, 16SrXIII-C.
