Acronyms, table

A wide range of techniques have been developed to study surfaces in vacuum, and many techniques are commonly referred to by acronyms. Table I lists acronyms and brief descriptions of most common techniques used in surface science. 

The function of this chapter is to review these methods with emphasis on the types of phenomenology involved and information obtained. Many of the effects are complicated, and full theoretical descriptions are still lacking. The wide variety of methods and derivative techniques has resulted in a veritable alphabet soup of acronyms. A short list is given in Table VIII-1 (see pp. 313-318) the lUPAC recommendations for the abbreviations are found in Ref. 1. 

The listing of techniques in Table Vlll-1 is not a static one. It is expanded over what it was a few years ago and is continuing to expand. Try, in an imaginative yet serious manner, to suggest techniques not listed in the table. Explain what their values might be and, of course, propose a suitable acronym for each. 

From the above descriptions, it becomes apparent that one can include a wide variety of teclmiques under the label diffraction methods . Table Bl.21.1 lists many techniques used for surface stmctural detemiination, and specifies which can be considered diffraction methods due to their use of wave interference (table Bl.21.1 also explains many teclmique acronyms commonly used in surface science). The diffraction methods range from the classic case of XRD and the analogous case of FEED to much more subtle cases like XAFS (listed as both SEXAFS (surface extended XAFS) and NEXAFS (near-edge XAFS) in the table).

Experimental Hole Mobilities. The experimental values of hole mobihties in polymers are tabulated in Tables 1 and 2. The hole mobihty is field dependent. Whenever the experimental data have been fitted with equation 5, the parameters p.Q, O, and O, which give a complete description of the field dependence of the hole mobihty, are Hsted (Table 2). Otherwise, hole mobilities at selected fields are Hsted. All acronyms are defined in Figures 2 and 3. 

Specific polymers discussed in this chapter and the type of column used for their characterization are summarized in Table 20.1. The polymers are categorized as nonionic, anionic, or cationic. The nomenclature (acronyms) used for the different polymer types are also listed in Table 20.1. 

Table 1 shows various solvents (in alphabetical order) used in lithium batteries. The table contains the names of the solvents, their acronyms, the liquid range represented by melting (0m,°C) and boiling points (0m,°C), and the physical properties at 25 °C unless otherwise noted, permittivity s, viscosity rjl cP), and density >o/( kg L 1). The data are taken from Ref. [15], where the original literature is cited, or from more recent references given in the table. 

Recent work on thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) will not be included in this chapter since it is being reviewed elsewhere in the book. Abbreviations for some mbbers and accelerators will be used throughout in place of their full names as shown in Table 11.1. Acronyms for other polymers and additives wUl be provided in the text as required. A short discussion of polymer miscibility and compatibUization of polymer blends will be provided for better appreciation of the subject.

Table 4.1. Acronyms used in text for parametrizations for the exchange-correlation (Exc) functional. The acronyms for separate exchange (Ej and correlation (E ) components of A xc are specified when applicable. Throughout the text, density functional calculations following the Kohn-Sham formalism are referred to as DFT(XXX), where XXX stands either for the acronym of the approximate exchange-correlation functional or for the acronyms of the exchange and correlation functionals, separated by the / symbol.

Flash Point is given in degrees Celsius, usually using a closed cup. When the method is known, the acronym appears in parentheses after the value closed cup (CC), Cleveland closed cup (CCC), open cup (OC), Tag closed cup (TCC), and Tag open cup (TOC). Because values will vary with the specific procedure employed, and many times the method was not stated, the values listed for the flash point should be considered only as indicative. See also Table 5.23, Properties of Combustible Mixtures in Air.

Tables 1 and 2 provide a list of recently proposed solvation models and classifies them according to the above scheme. For convenience, each row of the table is given a label. In some cases the label is based on a well established name or acronym (e.g., PCM, SMx), or an acronym to be used in this chapter. The acronyms to be used in labels are as follows ...

The intention of this section is to provide to the reader a rapid and comprehensive reference for the most common definitions and acronyms used in mass spectrometry. Currently lUPAC has initiated a project to update and extend the definitions of terms related to the field of mass spectrometry. The definitions presented here (Table 1.6) are from the third draft document [16]. For more details and the latest updates, please consult www.msterms.com. 

Originally the various natural representatives had been designated by capital letters, but later a nomenclature system was proposed 110). In short, the indices and modifications as listed in Table 6 (p = 0 means that the entire fourth diami-noalkane-succinyl unit is missing) are grouped around the acronym pFO. The system is essentially self-explanatory for details and possible extensions see the original publication. 

Some of the common reagent chemicals and solvents are usually referred to by acronyms, a sequence of letters derived from either the systematic name or a trivial name. We shall encounter some of these in due course, and both name and acronym will be introduced when we first meet them. For reference purposes, those we shall meet are also listed in Table 1.5. Far more examples occur with biochemicals. Those indicated cover many, but the list is not comprehensive. 

The tripeptide precursor is called ACV, an abbreviation for 8-(L-a-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine. ACV is an acronym, and does not refer to the systematic abbreviations for amino acids described in Table 13.1. ACV is the linear tripeptide that leads to isopenicillin N, the first intermediate with the fused-ring system found in the penicillins. 

Investigations of the adsorption of isocyanides on metal surfaces use various analytical techniques. Table 13.2 lists the techniques and their acronyms that are used throughout this chapter. Because isocyanides adsorbed on metal surfaces are often characterized by their v(N=C) stretching frequencies, these vibrational data are summarized in Table 13.3. Also given in Table 13.3 are v(N=C) values of the free (unadsorbed) isocyanides and brief descriptions of the proposed adsorption modes, which are often based on interpretations of the v(N=C) values as discussed in the following sections.
