	abstract = {Reactive uptake of N2O5 on aqueous sulfuric acid solutions was studied in the presence of 1-component (octadecanol) and 2-component (octadecanol + phytanic acid) monolayers. In the 1-component monolayer experiments, the reactive uptake coefficient depended strongly on the molecular surface area of the surfactant. Also, the 1-component monolayer showed significant resistance to mass transfer even when the fractional surface coverage of the surfactant was less than 1. For example, a monolayer of I-octadecanol with a fractional surface coverage of 0.75 decreased the reactive uptake coefficient by a factor of 10. This is consistent with previous studies. In the 2-component monolayer experiments, the reactive uptake coefficient depended strongly on the composition of the monolayer. When the monolayer contained only straight-chain molecules (1-octadecanol), the reactive uptake coefficient decreased by a factor of 42 due to the presence of the monolayer. However, when the monolayer contained 0.20 mole fraction of a branched surfactant (phytanic acid) the reactive uptake coefficient only decreased by a factor of 2. Hence, a small amount of branched surfactant drastically changes the overall resistance to reactive uptake. Also, our results show that the overall resistance to reactive uptake of 2-component monolayers can be predicted reasonably accurately by a model that assumes the resistances to mass transfer can be combined in parallel.},

	abstract = {Gas-phase mu-SR studies of dense methane up to 10 mol L-1 and of propane at low densities, up to 0.2 mol L-1, are reported. It is found that the diamagnetic polarization, P(D), increases in both gases with pressure, with a related decrease seen in the muonium polarization, P(Mu). The initial increase seen in P(D) at low densities is attributed to hot-atom (Mu*) abstraction and substitution reactions. Comparisons with both hot-tritium (T*) and epithermal H* reactions in the alkanes reveal substantial isotope effects. In the case of CH4, a continued increase in P(D) at higher densities is likely due to a proton-transfer reaction from the molecular ion CH4Mu+ in the radiolysis track, forming CH3Mu, rather than to hot-atom reactions. Extrapolation of the present trend with density gives agreement with the value of P(D) found in liquid CH4, indicating that the diamagnetic muon polarization in dense alkanes depends primarily on density rather than on temperature or phase.},
