Disorder types

There is often a wide range of crystalline soHd solubiUty between end-member compositions. Additionally the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric Curie temperatures and consequent properties appear to mutate continuously with fractional cation substitution. Thus the perovskite system has a variety of extremely usehil properties. Other oxygen octahedra stmcture ferroelectrics such as lithium niobate [12031 -63-9] LiNbO, lithium tantalate [12031 -66-2] LiTaO, the tungsten bron2e stmctures, bismuth oxide layer stmctures, pyrochlore stmctures, and order—disorder-type ferroelectrics are well discussed elsewhere (4,12,22,23). 

First of all the term stress-induced crystallization includes crystallization occuring at any extensions or deformations both large and small (in the latter case, ECC are not formed and an ordinary oriented sample is obtained). In contrast, orientational crystallization is a crystallization that occurs at melt extensions corresponding to fi > when chains are considerably extended prior to crystallization and the formation of an intermediate oriented phase is followed by crystallization from the preoriented state. Hence, orientational crystallization proceeds in two steps the first step is the transition of the isotropic melt into the nematic phase (first-order transition of the order-disorder type) and the second involves crystallization with the formation of ECC from the nematic phase (second- or higher-order transition not related to the change in the symmetry elements of the system). 

A recent patent application from Roche [352] described a 2-amino-benzothiazole series. Roche claimed that compound (605) exhibited an IC50 value of 0.73 uM at CBi, and showed in excess of 10-fold selectivity over the CB2 receptor. The compounds were described as being of potential use in the treatment of a range of diseases, including CNS and psychiatric disorders, type-2 diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular disorders, infertility disorders, inflammation, cancer, atherosclerosis, cerebral vascular incidents and cranial trauma. 

Before discussing the ROA band signatures and general spectral characteristics of the disordered types of structure found in unfolded proteins, it is helpful to review the ROA band signatures of cc-helix and /1-sheet together with those of loops, turns, and side chains, as shown by folded proteins containing significant amounts of extended secondary structure in order to demonstrate that ROA is able to discriminate adequately between ordered and disordered polypeptide sequences.

For the uncoupled system (C = 0) two transition temperatures are obtained. One corresponds to the ordering of the protons and is of first order and pure order/disorder type, whereas the other is second order and displacive related to the polarizable sublattice (Fig. 5). 

Order-disorder-type ferroeiectrics where a discrete symmetry group is broken due to the ordering of the ions in a rigid lattice potential (e.g., KH2PO4). 

Classical relaxors [22,23] are perovskite soUd solutions like PbMgi/3Nb2/303 (PMN), which exhibit both site and charge disorder resulting in random fields in addition to random bonds. In contrast to dipolar glasses where the elementary dipole moments exist on the atomic scale, the relaxor state is characterized by the presence of polar clusters of nanometric size. The dynamical properties of relaxor ferroelectrics are determined by the presence of these polar nanoclusters [24]. PMN remains cubic to the lowest temperatures measured. One expects that the disorder -type dynamics found in the cubic phase of BaTiOs, characterized by two timescales, is somehow translated into the... 

Usually it is assumed that tc is the only temperature-dependent variable in Eq. 9. This might be the case for an order-disorder type rigid lattice model, where the only motion is the intra-bond hopping of the protons, since the hopping distance is assumed to be constant and therefore also A and A2 are constant. This holds, however, only for symmetric bonds. Below Tc the hydrogen bonds become asymmetric and the mean square fluctuation amplitudes are reduced by the so-called depopulation factor (l - and become in this way temperature-dependent also. The temperature dependence of tc in this model is given by Eq. 8, i.e. r would be zero at Tc, proportional to (T - Tc) above Tc and proportional to (Tc - T) below Tc.

The structure of M41S-type materials is built up of pores with amorphous walls that are formed around micelles of templating material (surfactants). One of the extreme structures of M41S-type materials (MCM-41) is a hexagonal ordering of the pores, an other extreme is a worm-hole disordered type of arrangement of the pores. A lamellar layered structure is another form in which these type of materials often (partially) appear, but this phase collapses to amorphous material upon removal of the surfactant (eg by calcination). A cubic ordering of the pores is also encountered. This form has been named MCM-48 and will not be discussed in the current paper. 

Let us first discuss intrinsic disorder types where the number of moles of the components is almost constant and independent of the component activities. Thus, the majority point defect concentrations are also (almost) independent of the component. activities. It follows that only two types of (intrinsic) defect formation reactions are allowed... 

In solid state technology, some of the most important transport processes occur at junctions. Junctions are zones in which the disorder type changes. The best known junction is the (p-n) junction in a semiconductor, which is basic to the operation of a transistor. In Figure 4-8, the main features of a junction zone are presented. Although it illustrates the situation in a semiconductor, as we shall see later, its essential features explain other junctions as well. 

This is an interesting result. We cannot always neglect the space-charge width compared to the recombination length internal reactions in crystals with varying disorder types will be further discussed in Chapter 9. 

In summary, junctions are more or less extended zones in crystals in which the disorder type changes and transport occurs along with simultaneous (local) reactions of the SE s. Junctions exhibit complex kinetic behavior due to the coupling of fluxes and reactions. The (p-n) junction is an interesting limiting case but has served to introduce the fundamental concepts of junctions.

From Eqn. (7.7), we further conclude that the explicit calculation of the reaction rate constant k is much more difficult if the disorder type changes within the range...
