A 250 GHz ESR study of o-terphenyl: Dynamic cage effects above T-c
No full textThree nitroxide spin probes of different sizes and geometrical shape were used in a 250 GHz ESR study of the probe rotational dynamics in the fragile glass former ortho-terphenyl (OTP) over a wide temperature range from 380 to 180 K. Comparative studies at 9.5 GHz have also been performed. Perdeuterated 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethyl-4-methyl aminopiperidinyl-N-oxide (MOTA), and 3,3-dimethyloxazolidinyl-N-oxy-2′,3-5α-cholestane (CSL) are, respectively, comparable in size to and larger than the OTP host molecule, whereas Perdeuterated 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethyl-4-piperidine-N-oxide (PDT) is substantially smaller. The sensitivity of 250 GHz ESR to the details of the rotational tumbling for T≳Tc (where Tc is the crossover temperature) was exploited to show that the relaxation is fit by a model that is characteristic of a homogeneous liquid. A nonlinear least-squares analysis shows that below the melting point, Tm, CSL, and MOTA dynamics are well-described by a model of dynamic cage relaxation proposed by Polimeno and Freed wherein the probe relaxation is significantly influenced by a fluctuating potential well created by the neighboring OTP molecules. A model of simple Brownian reorientation does not fit the experimental spectra of CSL or MOTA as well as the dynamic cage model below Tm. Spectra of PDT do not show any significant non-Brownian dynamics for this probe. It was found that the characteristic rates of the cage model, viz., the reorientation of the probe and the cage relaxation, were describable by activated processes; however, the “average” rotational diffusion rates (defined in the usual manner as the time integral of the correlation function) derived from the dynamic cage parameters follow the Stokes–Einstein–Debye (SED) relation rather well, in agreement with previous studies by other physical techniques. It is then shown that the usual stretched exponential fit to the motional correlation function, interpreted in terms of an inhomogeneous distribution of simple reorientational rates, is clearly inconsistent with the observed ESR spectrum. The absence of a significant cage potential above Tm is discussed in terms of a model of frustration limited domain sizes proposed by Kivelson and co-workers. Evidence for the existence of substantial voids in OTP below Tm, especially from the spectra of the small PDT probe, is discussed in terms of the structure and packing of the OTP solvent

He requests data on how many of the 3,141 "part or no pay" patients are from the city or county of Galveston, a comparison of per capita payments for indigent patients by the county of Galveston versus neighboring counties, and data on patients paid for by the county from the mainland versus within city limits
Letter from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman, 1942
No full textLetter from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman. Yusa writes that he and his wife Mimi and their family will "get our walking papers for Gila this week." Yusa writes of concern about dysentery: "I understand that the army has shoved in to many people at a time to Gila that plumbing and other facilities are not up to meet the heavy demand. Reports thru private letters show that things are not favorable down there in terms of adequate physical conditions and morale." He mentions lack of progress regarding student relocations, and requests discretion regarding his UC affiliations: "Imagine, people like Prof. Churnen, Dr. Lowie, both W. I. Thomas and Dr. Thomas, people of very high caliber being ruled out by the punks that's running us." He writes about "a condition of doubt about what to believe in" among many young people in the camp.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Postcard from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. Goodman, May 24, 1941
No full textPostcard from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. Goodman: Howdy Joe; I thought I'd have to hike up to Frisco to get away from this blasted heat down here but it cooled off sufficiently for me to live normally. I'll be back up there around June 11 as they are coming back for some urgent business so you'll see me sooner than you expected or I expected. Lately I've been doing office work, namely typing and sign making for a county Fair and Horse Show that the Assistance League here is sponsoring - Mrs. Irvine is the general manager. I'm missing the Y and the church groups that are so characteristic with the bunch that I run around with - certainly very little of it down here. Action is of only one kind here - defense industries - plain factories galore - what are we getting into? I'm expecting to hear from you. Incidentally, I hope you're OK.

Letter from Earle and Mimi Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman
No full textLetter from Earle and Mimi Yusa to Joseph R. and Elizabeth B. Goodman. Letter mentions contentious objector status for a draft, and Mimi's pregnancy. Letter reflects on incarcerees contact with American Indians: "The contacts with Indian people around here have awakened many of us to the extent of the dangers of these concentration camps. The problem that exist with the Indians is one that needs greater attention that [than] that of ours. Are we trying to solve one problem while another with deeper roots remains neglected? I wonder where our consistency is?" Letter also mentions "our SCA group and student relocation hasn't gone anywhere," and writes of "apathy, complacency, ward-of-the government attitude, and fear of the outside" in the camp. And, "as far as my resettling is concerned, I'm really in a dilemma as what I should do."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

No full textWe address the points raised by Giordano and Leporini (GL) and show that accounting properly for the nonexponential decay of the rotational correlation function leads to improved agreement with the Stokes–Einstein–Debye (SED) relation above the crossover temperature TC for those probes 3,3′-dimethyloxazolidinyl-N-oxy-2′,3-5α-cholestane (CSL), and perdeuterated 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethyl-4-methyl aminopiperidinyl-N-oxide) (MOTA) that are well-coupled to the viscous modes of o-terphenyl (OTP) when the average relaxation rate 1⁄6〈τ〉 is plotted versus 1/T. On the other hand, 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethyl-4-piperidine-N-oxide (PDT) shows simple Arrhenius behavior in this regime, because of weak coupling to the solvent cage, inconsistent with SED, which was clearly shown in our paper. We also suggest that the difference in chemical structure of the PDT probe, studied by us, compared to 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO), studied by GL, accounts for the difference in the low-temperature relaxation behavior of the two probes
