Critical temperature dependence

The single particle auto-correlation time tc in Eq. 9 can, of course, exhibit also a non-critical temperature dependence. Consider a set of independent hydrogen bonds with symmetric double well potentials and a barrier a between the wells. In this case the motion is thermally activated and tc shows an Arrhenius behaviour ... 

At sufficiently high temperatures KCP falls into the cross-over limit. f 0J, measured1 , or calculated from Equ. (22), is considerably smaller than d . However, I ox itself is (non-critically) temperature dependent and at Tc is estimated to be of of the order of d . However, the temperature dependence given by Equ. (22) (and also by Equs. (19, 20)) should not be taken too seriously for T < rMF. This equation neglects (at least) the electron-self-energy effects13 2 2-2 3) (the Peierls pseudogap). Still, it appears probable that close to Tc, KCP falls somewhere between the two extreme limits considered here.

In Si wafer processing, there are primarily two causes for stress apart from oxygen precipitation. The first one are temperature gradients. The second causes are surface-near layers with structural properties different from that of the Si-substrate, e.g. oxides, nitrides, poly-Si, or doped layers. If these stresses in a wafer grow beyond a critical, temperature-dependent level, plastic deformation will occur by movement of dislocations. Dislocations will lead mostly to catastrophic device failure /11,12/.

Fill and pressurize the autoclave with an inert gas (nitrogen, argon, etc.) so very little or no evaporation of solvent is necessary to reach the critical pressure at critical temperature. Depending on the initial pressure, the amount of additional solvent varies from the critical load to zero [9]. 

In the complete wetting regime, the relaxation rate of the elementary excitations of the degree of order exhibits a linear critical temperature dependence typical for soft modes. The slowdown of the relaxation rates of the... 

The dramatic variation of liquid crystalline properties with respect to temperature has resulted in the widespread use of cholesteric (chiral nematic) liquid crystals for thermography. The property that has been exploited most in liquid crystal thermography is the critical temperature dependence of the selective reflection from cholesteric liquid crystals, though other temperature dependent properties of mesophases have been utilized (e.g. the birefringence of nematic systems and selective reflection from other chiral phases). The helicoidal structure of cholesteric materials results in the selective reflection of visible light within a band of wavelengths of width AX, centered at a wavelength Xq, such that ... 

It should be noted that in real experimental situations an atomic gas is always confined in a potential well with a certain wall steepness. In such practical situations, the value of the critical temperature % depends on the shape of the potential well. The steeper the potential well, the higher the critical temperature. 

The isotropic phase is, nevertheless, a very interesting and important phase for both fundamental and applied studies. It is fundamentally interesting because of the existence of short-range order, which gives rise to the critical temperature dependence of various physical parameters just above the phase transition temperature. These critical behaviors provide a good testing ground for the liquid crystal physics. 

Moreover, Equation 1.9 show that the values of critical temperatures depend directly on the starting monomer concentration. Fortunately, the values for bulk monomer or for Imoll" are almost exclusively reported.
