And extinction measurements

One of the earliest detailed diagnostic efforts on sooting of diffusion flames was that of Wagner et al. [86-88], who made laser scattering and extinction measurements, profile determinations of velocity by LDV, and temperature measurements by thermocouples on a Wolfhard-Parker burner using ethene as the fuel. Their results show quite clearly that soot particles are generated near the reaction zone and are convected farther toward the center of the fuel stream as they travel up the flame. The particle number densities and generation rates decline with distance from the flame zone. The soot formation rate appeared to...

After completing the aspect ratio/solvent sensitivity experiment, a duplicate of tiie 2.17 aspect ratio sample was thermally annealed. This annealed sanq>le, with an aspect ratio of 2.14, was then subjected to the same series of solvent treatments and extinction measurements. The resultant solvent refractive index versus LSPR Xm shift still shows a linear trend, but a significantly decreased sensitivity of 100 nm shift per RIU.

In ellipsometry monochromatic light such as from a He-Ne laser, is passed through a polarizer, rotated by passing through a compensator before it impinges on the interface to be studied [142]. The reflected beam will be elliptically polarized and is measured by a polarization analyzer. In null ellipsometry, the polarizer, compensator, and analyzer are rotated to produce maximum extinction. The phase shift between the parallel and perpendicular components A and the ratio of the amplitudes of these components, tan are related to the polarizer and analyzer angles p and a, respectively. The changes in A and when a film is present can be related in an implicit form to the complex index of refraction and thickness of the film. 

Ellipsometry is a method of measuring the film thickness, refractive index, and extinction coefficient of single films, layer stacks, and substrate materials with very high sensitivity. Rough surfaces, interfaces, material gradients and mixtures of different materials can be analyzed. 

Infrared ellipsometry is typically performed in the mid-infrared range of 400 to 5000 cm , but also in the near- and far-infrared. The resonances of molecular vibrations or phonons in the solid state generate typical features in the tanT and A spectra in the form of relative minima or maxima and dispersion-like structures. For the isotropic bulk calculation of optical constants - refractive index n and extinction coefficient k - is straightforward. For all other applications (thin films and anisotropic materials) iteration procedures are used. In ellipsometry only angles are measured. The results are also absolute values, obtained without the use of a standard. 

Other physical methods were also applied to the elucidation of the isomerism of diazocyanides, e. g., determination of diamagnetic susceptibility, the Faraday effect (optical rotation in a magnetic field), and electronic and infrared spectra. Hantzsch and Schulze measured ultraviolet spectra at a remarkably early date (1895 a). Unfortunately, their results and later work (Le Fevre and Wilson, 1949 Freeman and Le Fevre, 1950) did not allow unambiguous conclusions, except perhaps the observation that the molar extinction coefficients of the band at lowest frequency are consistently larger in all types of (i -compounds Ar — N2 - X than in the corresponding (Z)-iso-mers (Zollinger, 1961, p. 62). 

Table I compares the measured values of extinction coefficients with the values calculated from theory at wavelengths of 25U, 280 and 350 nm. The lower values of extinction coefficients for the larger particles measured, using the online detector compared to the Beckman instrument, are due to the optical effects discussed above. The disagreement between the extinction coefficients calculated from Mie theory for non-absorbing spheres and the measured values from the Beckman instrument is very significant, particularly at 2 k and 280 nm.

Fletsch and Richards [51] determined fluoride in seawater spectrophotometri-cally as the cerium alizarin complex. The cerium alizarin complex and chelate was formed in 20% aqueous acetone at pH 4.35 (sodium acetate buffer) and, after 20-60 min, the extinction measured at 625 nm (2.5 cm cell) against water. The calibration graph was rectilinear for 8-200 ig/l fluoride the mean standard deviation was 10 xg/l at a concentration of 1100 ig/l fluoride. 

In the Nile blue spectrophotometric method, 10 ml 2% aqueous hydrofluoric acid is added to a 10 ml sample contained in a polyethylene bottle. The mixture is shaken for about 2h. Aqueous ferrous sulfate 10% 10 ml and 1ml 0.1% aqueous Nile blue A are added, then extracted with o-dichlorobenzene (10 ml and 3x5 ml). The combined organic extracts are diluted to 50 ml with the solvent and the extinction measured at 647 nm. Interference from chloride ions up to 100 mg/1 can be eliminated by precipitation as silver chloride. 

Ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol and cyclohexane (UVASOL(R)-Grade) employed as solvents shall have an extinction, measured in a 1 cm cell at 240 nm with reference to water (spectroscopic grade), not exceeding 0.10.

The values agree well in position with those of Woldbye (17) (which were for solutions M in sodium nitrate), but our extinction coefficients are consistently about 10% higher than his. In addition, we note a weak maximum for T at 330 m/i and report some information on the spectra in the doublet region. These last measurements were made on filtered 0.04M solutions, using 5 cm. cells. The general absorption curves were obtained by a Cary Model 14 spectrophotometer, but for most of the kinetic studies and analytical measurements, optical densities at selected wave lengths were determined by a DU Beckman spectrophotometer.
