Charge point

The first experiment with the electrostatic gas cleaning was made in 1824, when Hohlfeld show that a fog was cleared from a glass jar which contained an electrically charged point electrode. Similar demonstrations were published in the 19th century, an example being the precipitation of tobacco smoke in a glass cylinder by Guitard (1850). 

The interaction between a charged point defect and neighboring magnetic ions in magnetically doped thin films has been described in terms of a defect cluster called a bound magnetic polaron (Fig. 9.5a). The radius of a bound magnetic polaron due to an electron located on the defect, r, is given by... 

Points of Zero Charge. Points of zero charge (pzc) are pH-values where the net surface charge is zero. We consider here above all the surface conditions where the... 

After a proton hop, the leading rotor residue is neutralized [16, 20] and the electrostatic potential, V, between the two pairs of oppositely charged point charges in the resulting charge configuration can be written as ... 

Let us summarize by modeling the velocity autocorrelation function using Debye-Huckel type interactions between charged point defects in ionic crystals, one can evaluate the frequency-dependent conductivity and give an interpretation of the universal dielectric response. 

There is still another type of internal solid state reaction which we will discuss and it is electrochemical in nature. It occurs when an electrical current flows through a mixed conductor in which the point defect disorder changes in such a way that the transference of electronic charge carriers predominates in one part of the crystal, while the transference of ionic charge carriers predominates in another part of it. Obviously, in the transition zone (junction) a (electrochemical) solid state reaction must occur. It leads to an internal decomposition of the matrix crystal if the driving force (electric field) is sufficiently high. The immobile ionic component is internally precipitated, whereas the mobile ionic component is carried away in the form of electrically charged point defects from the internal reaction zone to one of the electrodes. 

Extrinsic Crystal Self-Diffusion. Charged point defects can be induced to form in an ionic solid by the addition of substitutional cations or anions with charges that differ from those in the host crystal. Electrical neutrality demands that each addition results in the formation of defects of opposite charge that can contribute to the diffusivity or electronic conductivity. The addition of aliovalent solute (impurity) atoms to an initially pure ionic solid therefore creates extrinsic defects.10... 

For the computation of EP charges, points are first generated outside the van der Waals surface of the molecule by using an appropriate algorithm and trial monopoles are placed at the sites of atoms and the classical electrostatic field generated by them is fitted to that obtained quantum chemically using the least-squares methods. The object function is given by... 

Charged point defects on regular lattice positions can also contribute to additional losses the translation invariance, which forbids the interaction of electromagnetic waves with acoustic phonons, is perturbed due to charged defects at random positions. Such single-phonon processes are much more effective than the two- or three phonon processes discussed before, because the energy of the acoustic branches goes to zero at the T point of the Brillouin zone. Until now, only a classical approach to account for these losses exists, which has been... 

Aij5 Bjj and CF are constants for a given pair of atoms and qj and are atomic net charges of the atoms i and j. The first two terms correspond to the Lennard-Jones potential and the third term to the electrostatic point charge — point charge interaction. 

Figure 3. XPS spectra of a silicon sample containing ca. 30 nm thick oxide. A strip of gold metal is tied for referencing under different voltage stress. The inset displays the measured binding energy difference between the Si2p of the oxide layer (Si4+), and the Au4f of the gold metal. Zero Charge Point (ZCP) is obtained at ca. +1V stress.

The standard theory of colloidal interactions is that of DLYO [29, 30]. They used the primitive model of the electrolyte. Because of the asymmetry in the DH theory, they applied the DH/PB theory to a fluid of charged point ions in a slit to width L. Restricting our attention to the linearized case, the slit profile is... 

For application, Eq. (II.4) has to be considerably simplified. The simplest model is the assumption of point charges. We take the crystal lattice as composed from the point charges nte, where e is the elementary charge. The index i, o < i k, distinguishes the different kinds of charged points (particles) within the lattice. Assuming the system of crystal axes already transformed to the principal axes system of the tensor, we calculate the coupling constant from...

The values of the ion shifts were estimated in the point charges point dipoles approximation of the EFGs calculation both in the PSN and PMN.
