Patterns, laser diffraction

The dependence of spatial resolution on the charge state of the electrode in mode 4 is visualized in Fig. 4.17 d-g. A red HeNe laser and a slit have been used to project a diffraction pattern on an n-type sample surface as shown in the inset... 

Figure 24. X-ray diffraction pattern (in the inset the 2D image) of the polyethylene sample recovered by the laser-assisted high-pressure reaction in the pure liquid monomer. The two measured sharp lines nicely fit the polymer diffraction pattern having a orthorhombic cell (Pnam) defined by the lattice parameters reported in the figure.

Optical examination of etched polished surfaces or small particles can often identify compounds or different minerals hy shape, color, optical properties, and the response to various etching attempts. A semi-quantitative elemental analysis can he used for elements with atomic number greater than four by SEM equipped with X-ray fluorescence and various electron detectors. The electron probe microanalyzer and Auer microprobe also provide elemental analysis of small areas. The secondary ion mass spectroscope, laser microprobe mass analyzer, and Raman microprobe analyzer can identify elements, compounds, and molecules. Electron diffraction patterns can be obtained with the TEM to determine which crystalline compounds are present. Ferrography is used for the identification of wear particles in lubricating oils.

A section of the diffraction pattern with stationary crystal, stationary detector is recorded with a linear detector and (b) shows the time course of three reflections before and after the laser flash (from Bartunik et al. 1982)...

The experiment was done as follows. A diluted solution of C2H4I2 in CH3OH was pumped by an optical laser, which triggered the elimination of one iodine atom followed by creation of the radicals (C2H4I) and (I). A series of X-ray diffraction patterns were recorded at times between 100 ps and 3ps. The...

Pump-probe patterns are obtained by exciting the molecule of interest to an excited state, and subtracting the diffraction pattern with the pump-laser off from a pattern with the pump-laser on. The ultrashort pulsed nature of the laser and the electron pulses allows us to probe structural dynamics by measuring the pump-probe diffraction patterns as a function of the delay time between the laser pulse and the electron pulse. 

In the simulations presented here, we assume that a pump laser excites the molecule to either the vibrationless, or specific vibrational levels of the Si electronic state. The diffraction pattern is measured by scattering the electron beam off the excited molecules on a time scale shorter than the rotational motion of the molecules, i.e. on a time scale less than about 10 ps. The diffraction pattern is measured in the plane perpendicular to the electron beam. The diffraction patterns shown here are for an excitation laser polarization parallel to the detector plane, and perpendicular to the electron beam. Since the electronic transition dipole moment of s-tetrazine is perpendicular to the aromatic ring, this pump-pulse polarization selects preferentially those molecules that are aligned with the aromatic plane parallel to the electron beam. 

The effect of vibrational excitation is examined in Fig. 4. Shown here is the difference diffraction pattern of the molecule in the Si electronic state with excitation to vibration 16a8, vs. the vibrationless level 0° of the S, electronic state. The gray-scale indicates the difference in the total diffraction signals of the two vibronically excited states, divided by the diffraction signal of the molecule in the ground electronic and vibrational state. Important to note is that this difference pattern has a strong feature at a = 0°, i.e. along the direction of the laser... 

We have used x-ray diffraction in our laboratory to probe transient structures of laser-excited liquids, small-molecule crystals and protein crystals. The diffraction patterns are recorded on a CCD detector that makes efficient use of most of the diffracted x-rays. Several experimental protocols have been developed Laue diffraction from proteins [6-8], small-molecule diffraction [9,10] and diffraction from liquids [2,11,12]. In proteins, the... 

The accuracy to which the droplet size distribution of an emulsion can be determined by a properly functioning and correctly operated laser diffraction instrument depends upon two major factors (1) the design of the optical system used to measure the diffraction pattern resulting from the transmission of a laser beam through the cuvette and (2) the sophistication... 

For the reasons described above, the droplet size distribution of the same emulsion measured on different laser diffraction instruments can be significantly different, depending on the precise design of the optical system and the mathematical theory used to interpret the diffraction pattern. It should be noted, however, that the most common source of error in particle size analysis is incorrect operation of the instrument by the user. Common sources of user error are introduction of air bubbles into the sample, use of the wrong refractive index, insufficient dilution of emulsion to prevent multiple scattering. and use of an unclean optical system. 

The cuvette must be correctly placed in its holder so that the laser beam is perpendicularly incident upon it. If the cuvette is not fixed correctly the laser beam is deflected from its normal path, which leads to a nonuniform and incorrect diffraction pattern. Many commercial instruments have the ability to adjust the alignment of the laser beam once the cuvette has been correctly inserted into the sample holder, to ensure that it is perpendicularly incident. 

Radial electron diffraction patterns (65), XRD and Laser Raman spectroscopy (69) have confirmed the formation of REV04 type phases.
