Another striking example of non-equilibrium conditions in interstellar space is the observation of the anomalous absorption of H2CO in various K-type levels. The X6 cm rotational transition 110 — In has been found in absorption in many galactic continuum sources (i.e. HII regions and supernovae remnants), even when their continuum temperatures are only a few degrees, indicating that the excitation temperature of the 6 cm line must be very low,... 

In the absence of any interactions, the population of the formaldehyde levels would rather quickly ( V 106 sec) reach equilibrium with the 2.7 °K radiation. Anomalous absorption, however, implies that a widespread and fast-pumping mechanism must exist which cools the levels below 2.7 K. 

Although observational and theoretical evidence seems to favour some of the proposed mechanisms more than others it still remains open as to which one produces the refrigeration effect. A more direct selection between the proposed models may become possible from the detection of other Af-type doublets of formaldehyde in anomalous absorption and also of similar transitions of structurally related molecules like H2CS, H2C20. 

B being the static virial coefficient, A — (1 — vp)tt> (b — a )/2RT, p the solvent density, and to the angular velocity. This speed dependence effect can be minimized by low speeds and short solution columns. A problem peculiar to absorption optics (applicable to protein systems in general) is the difficulty in obtaining an accurate baseline due to, for example, anomalous absorption onto cell windows this difficulty is often ignored in the literature. 

In conclusion, it is worth reiterating that the anomalous absorption effects described here may be manifest in any experiments that employ sufficiently high-intensity broadband radiation. To this extent, anomalies may be observable in experiments not specifically involving USES light. In particular, the continued advances in techniques of laser pulse compression have now resulted in the production of femtosecond pulses only a few optical cycles in duration (Knox et al. 1985 Brito Cruz et al. 1987 Fork et al. 1987) which necessarily have a very broad frequency spread, as the time/energy uncertainty principle shows. Thus, mean-frequency absorption may have a wider role to play in the absorption of femtosecond pulses. If this is correct, it raises further questions over the suitablity of absorption-based techniques for their characterization.

In contrast to pl ma polymers, a-C H films possess a certain intrinsic absorption in the visible region and this gives than a more or less yellowish or brownish color in transmitted light (Fig. 19). This is always superimposed over the anomalous absorption when a metal is incorporated in clusters, so the colors are not so bright. In return one obtains higher thermal stability and better abrasion resistance.

In this framework the decomposition and re-composition in the dynamical propagation of X-ray in the crystals is to be emphasized. In this case, the decomposition on the alpha and beta branches, on the transmitted and diffracted directions, have been noted then followed by the re-compositions on common direction from different branches (Pendellbsung), on common branches from different directions (Standing Waves), with the possibility of the effect of the direct anomalous absorption (i.e., the alpha branch free of absorption, with the beta branch anomalous absorbing) and respectively the reverse anomaly (with the alpha branch anomalously absorbing, while... 

In this context, there will be proved how simply the anomalous absorption on the beta braneh ean be perceived, Figure 5.38, by the so-ealled Borrmaim effect. 

Therefore, the classical treatment of the Borrmann effect has the quality of the immediate interpretation of the recorded fluorescence spectra (see Putz, 2014) but does not fully respond to what is happening with this energy, intimate-dynamically manifested in the anomalous absorption. Here s why, the quantum view can causally present the dififaction phenomenology in d5mamic evolution, where the asymmetrical propagation naturally derives fi om the quantum definition itself of diflBaction the coherent (dynamic) photonic transfer derivedfrom the dynamic localization, (5.312) and (5.313). 

However, by the relations (5.321) and (5. 322) the hidden effect of the anomalous absorption was emphasized in the third term by the different signs attached, meaning a lack of the absorption associated to the alpha branch - and, in fact, a plus of free photons transferred, while recording for the beta branch a plus of absorption and a minus of free photons transferred, both effects happened by the dynamic localization of the fields between the propagation directions, i.e., the associated branches of DS. 

The basis of surface enhanced optical absorption is the so-called "anomalous absorption". To observe anomalous absorption an absorbing colloid or colloid layer is positioned in a defined distance to a metal mirror and illuminated from the colloid side. At a certain distance of the colloid or absorbing layer to the mirror the incident fields has the same phase as the electromagnetic field that is reflected by the mirror at the position of the absorbing colloid particle (or colloid particle layer). The set-up is described as a reflection interference system, which feedback mechanism strongly enhances the absorption coefficient of the absorbing colloid (layer).
