In the preceding section, the choice of reactor type was made on the basis of which gave the most appropriate concentration profile as the reaction progressed in order to minimize volume for single reactions or maximize selectivity for multiple reactions for a given conversion. However, after making the decision to choose one type of reactor or another, there are still important concentration effects to be considered. 

Here, if Z is expressed in moles of collisions per square centimeter per second, r is in moles per square centimeter. We assume the condensation coefficient to be unity, that is, that all molecules that hit the surface stick to it. At very low Q values, F as given by Eq. XVII-3 is of the order expected just on the basis that the gas phase continues uniformly up to the surface so that the net surface concentration (e.g., F2 in Eq. XI-24) is essentially zero. This is the situation... 

A third definition of surface mobility is essentially a rheological one it represents the extension to films of the criteria we use for bulk phases and, of course, it is the basis for distinguishing states of films on liquid substrates. Thus as discussed in Chapter IV, solid films should be ordered and should show elastic and yield point behavior liquid films should be coherent and show viscous flow gaseous films should be in rapid equilibrium with all parts of the surface. 

It is worthwhile, albeit tedious, to work out the condition that must satisfied in order for equation (A1.1.117) to hold true. Expanding the trial fiinction according to equation (A1.1.113). assuming that the basis frmctions and expansion coefficients are real and making use of the teclmiqiie of implicit differentiation, one finds... 

In order to solve (equation A1.4.7) we do not have to choose the basis fiinctions to be eigenfunctions of F and F, but there are obvious advantages in doing so ... 

Truncation at the first-order temi is justified when the higher-order tenns can be neglected. Wlien pe higher-order tenns small. One choice exploits the fact that a, which is the mean value of the perturbation over the reference system, provides a strict upper bound for the free energy. This is the basis of a variational approach [78, 79] in which the reference system is approximated as hard spheres, whose diameters are chosen to minimize the upper bound for the free energy. The diameter depends on the temperature as well as the density. The method was applied successfiilly to Lennard-Jones fluids, and a small correction for the softness of the repulsive part of the interaction, which differs from hard spheres, was added to improve the results. 

For a conserved order parameter, the interface dynamics and late-stage domain growth involve the evapomtion-diffusion-condensation mechanism whereby large droplets (small curvature) grow at tlie expense of small droplets (large curvature). This is also the basis for the Lifshitz-Slyozov analysis which is discussed in section A3.3.4. 

Generalized first-order kinetics have been extensively reviewed in relation to teclmical chemical applications [59] and have been discussed in the context of copolymerization [53]. From a theoretical point of view, the general class of coupled kinetic equation (A3.4.138) and equation (A3.4.139) is important, because it allows for a general closed-fomi solution (in matrix fomi) [49]. Important applications include the Pauli master equation for statistical mechanical systems (in particular gas-phase statistical mechanical kinetics) [48] and the investigation of certain simple reaction systems [49, ]. It is the basis of the many-level treatment of... 

The ability to assign a group of resonance states, as required for mode-specific decomposition, implies that the complete Hamiltonian for these states is well approxmiated by a zero-order Hamiltonian with eigenfunctions [M]. The ( ). are product fiinctions of a zero-order orthogonal basis for the reactant molecule and the quantity m. represents the quantum numbers defining ( ).. The wavefimctions / for the compound state resonances are given by... 

Resonance states in the spectra, which are assignable in temis of zero-order basis will have a predominant expansion coefficient c.. Hose and Taylor [ ] have argued that for an assignable level r /,j>0.5... 

If all the resonance states which fomi a microcanonical ensemble have random i, and are thus intrinsically unassignable, a situation arises which is caWtA. statistical state-specific behaviour [95]. Since the wavefunction coefficients of the i / are Gaussian random variables when projected onto (]). basis fiinctions for any zero-order representation [96], the distribution of the state-specific rate constants will be as statistical as possible. If these within the energy interval E E+ AE fomi a conthuious distribution, Levine [97] has argued that the probability of a particular k is given by the Porter-Thomas [98] distribution... 

Consider an ensemble composed of constituents (such as molecules) per unit volume. The (complex) density operator for this system is developed perturbatively in orders of the applied field, and at. sth order is given by The (complex). sth order contribution to the ensemble averaged polarization is given by the trace over the eigenstate basis of the constituents of the product of the dipole operator, N and = Tr A pp... 

The higher-order bulk contribution to the nonlmear response arises, as just mentioned, from a spatially nonlocal response in which the induced nonlinear polarization does not depend solely on the value of the fiindamental electric field at the same point. To leading order, we may represent these non-local tenns as bemg proportional to a nonlinear response incorporating a first spatial derivative of the fiindamental electric field. Such tenns conespond in the microscopic theory to the inclusion of electric-quadnipole and magnetic-dipole contributions. The fonn of these bulk contributions may be derived on the basis of synnnetry considerations. As an example of a frequently encountered situation, we indicate here the non-local polarization for SFIG in a cubic material excited by a plane wave (co) ... 

A sehematie diagram of a SIFT apparatus is shown in figure Bl.7.12. The instrument eonsists of five basie regions, the ion soiiree, initial quadnipole mass filter, flow tube, seeond mass filter and finally the deteetor. The heart of the instrument is the flow tube, whieh is a steel tube approximately 1 m long and 10 em in diameter. The pressure in the flow tube is kept of the order of 0.5 Torr, resulting in earrier gas flow rates of... 

Essentially all of the teclmiques discussed above require the evaluation of one- and two-electron integrals over the AO basis fiinctions (x l./lx ) and mentioned earlier, there are of the order of A /8...
