Bandwidth behaviour

Figure 9. C02 Detection variation of modulation Index (m), with optical filter centre wavelength and bandwidth. The broad range of absorption lines causes a very complex variation of modulation indices when using narrow filters (not all peaks at narrow filter bandwidths are shown, as this would obscure the behaviour with wider filter bandwidths). Reference and measurement cells are assumed to he of 1 m length and contain 100% C02 gas at 1 Bar/20 °C.

One should note that the phase shift becomes time-independent and maximal for a = 1, i.e., at the resonance condition v = vG. The frequency spectrum 4>(a) bears a sine shape with a bandwidth inversely proportional to the number of oscillations of the gradient field (Fig. 4). Such a behaviour was also predicted in Ref. 15. Recording in a systematic way the phase shift as a function of vG without space encoding would be a very fast and efficient method to scan in a whole object the possible frequencies of spin motions. 

In fact, whether to interpret properties in the atomic or in the band limit depends upon the competition between these two quantities the bandwidth W, describing itinerant behaviour, and the Coulombic interaction U, describing atomic behaviour. 

The Stoner product (30), calculated across the actinide series for homologous compounds, may interpret (or predict) the magnetic behaviour of these solids, and hence suggest a localized or itinerant picture (see Chap. D), provided that we know I for the different actinides across the series, since N(pf) is measurable (e.g. through specific heat measurements) and roughly reciprocal to the bandwidth W (N(pf) W ). I is not directly measurable and must be calculated. (Of course, the discussion above shows that the two quantities are not really independent, since the interactions determining I also play a role in determining the bandwidth, and hence N([Xf).)... 

Suppose we approach M atoms of an element having an unfilled outer shell, disposed in a lattice. The point may be made clear if we suppose to approach hydrogen atoms (outer shell 1 s ). Equations (11) and (12) would predict the broadening of the electron state in a half-filled s-band, which should therefore allow metallic behaviour. Apparently, this would happen for any inter-atomic distance a and, therefore also at infinite distance. What would change is, of course, the bandwidth, which is determined by matrix elements dependent on the interatomic distance a but the metallic behaviour, depending essentially on the fact that the electrons have available energy states within the band, should occur also at distances where the atoms may well be supposed to be isolated. 

When the cores are approached, the sub-bands split, acquiring a bandwidth, and decreasing the gap between them (Fig. 14 a). At a definite inter-core distance, the subbands cross and merge into the non-polarized narrow band. At this critical distance a, the narrow band has a metallic behaviour. At the system transits from insulator to metallic (Mott-Hubbard transition). Since some electrons may acquire the energies of the higher sub-band, in the solid there will be excessively filled cores containing two antiparallel spins and excessively depleted cores without any spins (polar states). 

A formalism similar to that presented for actinide metals has been developed for the ground state properties of binary compounds by Andersen et al. leading to a general form of equation of state (see Chap. F). However, this analysis of bonding contributions must draw from detailed results of band calculations more heavily than for the metals case (where the explanation of the qualitative behaviour of ground state properties vs. atomic number needed only the hypothesis of a constant 5f-bandwidth and its volume dependence as predicted by the general theory). In fact, the bond is more complicated ... 

The interpretation of features comes back to a very wide discussion already taking place for 3 d metals, and, in particular for the case of Ni Partial localization effects should be even more apparent in 5 f-metal spectra, since 5 f s are thought to be intermediate, in behaviour, between the (fairly itinerant) 3d of the iron group and the (fully locaUzed) 4 f of the lanthanides. (The ratios of the Coulomb energy Uh to the bandwidth... 

Figure 7.12 compares the theoretical predictions with the experimental values across the 4d series, assuming one valence s electron per atom and taking x = 12 corresponding to close-packed lattices. The experimental values of the bandwidth are taken from the first principles LDA calculations in Table 7.1. The ratio b2 a is obtained by fitting a bandwidth of 10 eV for Mo with Nd = 5, so that from eqn (7.42) b2/a = eV. The skewed parabolic behaviour of the observed equilibrium nearest-neighbour distance is found to be fitted by values of the inverse decay length that vary linearly across the series as... 

Figure 6.8 shows the reflectivity of crystals of V203 obtained by Fan (1972). From the low-frequency behaviour, Fan deduced m 9me since for a bandwidth /v 1 eV, mm me, the factor 9 represents the mass enhancement. The inflexion above 1 eV may be due to the transition to the unenhanced mass discussed in Chapter 4, Section 6. Results for V02 are also shown in Fig. 6.9 they give m 3me. 

The behaviour difference between the two samples (Figures 8.35(a) and 8.35(b) leads to different evolutions of the reflection coefficient. In the case of the pressed sample, it is difficult to tune a monolayer of this material to any frequency, while the injected sheet resonates and presents a wide bandwidth (Figure 8,36). 

Figures. Schematic descrqxionofthe smart garment for MRI use. It seems that the major difficulty is to create a harness which can guarantee a good behaviour on both thorax and iibdamen, so diat the movements relating to thoracic lespitation ate safely detected. In addition, to make a system that fit men and wmnen, the bandwidth of the vertical handle must be limited.

It is seen in region I that the amount of absorbed vapour varies linearly with the concentration. The bandwidth, AQ, and the conductance maximum, Gmax, remain unchanged. Such behaviour confirms that the PPy film is rigid. A departure from linearity for G ax and AQ can be seen in region II. The substantial increase of the bandwidth, AQ, and decrease of the conductance, Gmax, correspond to the viscous losses in the polymer. The boundary between region I and II actually corresponds to the onset of plasticization of the EP by the vapour.
