UV/visible absorption spectra of shocked nitromethane and nitromethane-amine mixtures up to a pressure of 14 Gpa
(1994)
Electronic and chemical changes in shock-compressed nitromethane and a mixture of nitromethane with ethylenediamine (0.1 wt %) have been examined using time-resolved optical absorption spectroscopy under stepwise loading ...
The nitromethane - amine interaction.
(University of Cambridge, 1992)
Optical properties of amorphous C/diamond thin films
(1992)
Amorphous C/diamond films have been prepared by rf plasma enhanced vapor deposition from a CH4/Ar gas mixture. Infrared and optical-ultraviolet absorption characteristics are reported and used to characterize the bonding ...
The Cocoa Microworld as an environment for developing modelling skills in physical science
(1999)
The development of the ability to construct models can provide a backbone structure of transferable skills that can aid learning in the physical sciences. In this paper, we present a process of modelling for middle school ...
Smooth thin film C/diamond membranes with controllable optical band gaps
(1992)
Mixed phase carbon-diamond films which consist of small grain diamond in an a:C matrix were deposited on polished Si using a radio frequency CH4 Ar plasma CVD deposition process. Ellipsometry, surface profilometry, scanning ...
Time-resolved molecular changes in a chemically reacting shocked energetic liquid
(1995)
Experimental measurements, using Raman spectroscopy, are presented that demonstrate the ability to continuously monitor molecular changes associated with the onset of a chemical reaction in a shocked condensed explosive. ...
Investigation of shock-induced chemical decomposition of sensitized nitromethane through time-resolved Raman spectroscopy
(1996)
Molecular processes associated with shock induced chemical decomposition of a mixture of nitromethane with ethylenediamine (0.1 wt%) are examined using time-resolved, Raman scattering. When shocked by stepwise loading to ...
Measurement of the sensitization of nitrocompounds by amines using differential scanning calorimetry
(1995)
We report a new method of making empirical measurements of the sensitization of nitrocompounds by amines based on thermal analysis. The method is sensitive, accurate and reproducible. We have used this method to measure ...
