Experimental vapor pressures of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imides and a correlation scheme for estimation of vaporization enthalpies of ionic liquids.

Vapor pressures for a series of 1-n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (alkyl = ethyl, butyl, hexyl, and octyl) ionic liquids (ILs) were measured by the integral effusion Knudsen method. Thermodynamic parameters of vaporization for ILs were calculated from these data. The absence of decomposition of ILs during the vaporization process was proved by IR spectroscopy.

Statistics of wave functions in coupled chaotic systems.

Using the supersymmetry technique, we calculate the joint distribution of local densities of electron wave functions in two coupled disordered or chaotic quantum billiards. We find spatial correlations that are absent in a single chaotic system. Our exact result can be interpreted for small coupling in terms of the hybridization of eigenstates of the isolated billiards.
