ABSTRACT
A representative database for detection limits for all elements from 55Cs to 73Ta reveals that these limits are governed by a systematic zigzag pattern, according to which the odd atomic number elements have systematically lower detection limits than the even atomic number neighbour elements. This is true even when the actual detection limits vary by several orders of magnitude. We propose that such a systematic pattern be used as a requisite analytical criterion to evaluate the detection limit data, and any departure from this pattern be looked on with caution to check the analytical technique for any interference or matrix effect problems.

Every crystallographic group has finite sets of conical sections (for planar groups) and second order surfaces (for spatial groups). A geometrical method has been suggested on this basis for modeling and studying the cooperative mobility of atoms in symmetric systems. The method was demonstrated...

A simple kinetic model is used to describe the interaction of H and D atomic beams with H- and D-covered metal surfaces. The atoms incident from the gas phase can have a direct Eleyâ€“Rideal reaction with an adsorbate, reflect, penetrate into the bulk, knock an adsorbate out of its binding...

The nature of epitaxial intergrowth of black (Î²) and red (Î±) modifications of zinc diphosphide is studied. The intergrowth of single crystals is shown to be caused by that the atoms-analogs form almost identical structural motifs in both structures. The black modification grows on the...
