Absoiption cross sections

Two-photon absoiption cross-sections have been calculated, selected examples of which are listed in Table 11. The cr, values increase upon increase in dendrimer size and TT-system, with the value for tire dendrimer depicted in Figure 15 amongst the largest for organometallic compounds. 

Table HI lists the neutron absoiption cross sections for many of the metals described above, as well as their cross section relative to the typical reactor material, zirconium. Materials with a very large cross section relative to zirconium would result in a reduction in the thermal utilization factor f and hence a reduction in Nff. Consequently, Ta, W, V, Mo and Ni based alloys would be impractical choices for a reactor core. From this literature survey, it appears that Fecralloy would provide the greatest promise as a containment material for liquid lead. In addition Tantiron may be an alternate choice. More extensive studies on the applicability of inhibitors such as Ti should be undertaken to determine their affect on the corrosion resistance of these materials. 

The symmetry of the polymer and sidechains for materials such as poly(di-n-hexylsilane) dictate that is identically zero for these polymers. However, recent publications have described measurements of for poly silanes to be on the order of 10" - 10 12 esu for third harmonic generation [28] and four wave mixing processes [29], Two-photon absoiption cross section, being proportional to Imx ), should therefore be strong as well for this class of polymers. We have observed this to be the case, with x(3)=3.2x10 esu at 560 nm, and the primary excitation decay paths of energy transfer, polymer chain scission, and UV fluorescence very similar to those observed with single photon exposure [21,30].

The total mass of the system is m, n is the total mass flux (mass flow per unit area) relative to the stem boundaiy at any point, and S is the cross-sectional area nonnal to flow at that same location. The summations extend over all the mass entry and exit locations in the system. The mass flux at any poim is equal to pv, where p is the mass density and o is the velocity relative to the boundary at that point. Equation (2.2-1) can be applied equally well to a countercuirent gas absoiption column or to a lake with input and output streams such as rain l, evaporation, streams flowing to or from the lake, deposition of sediment on the lake bottom, or dissolution of minerals fiom the sides and bottom of the lake. The steady-state version of Eq. (2.2-1) ( 0) is of use in chemical process analysis because it permits calculation of various flow rates once some have been specified.

As the particle diameter is increased, the plasmon resonance scattering peak shifts to loiiger wavelengths and beconre broader.
