Linear dispersion

Solitons A mathematically appealing model of real particles is that of solitons. It is known that in a dispersive linear medium, a general wave form changes its shape as it moves. In a nonlinear system, however, shape-preserving solitary solutions exist. 

Graphite possesses highly anisotropic layered crystal structure, which translates to a quasi-2D electronic structure with electronic bands dispersing linearly near Ep and forming point-like Fermi surfaces. Visible light induces... 

Several parameters, for example focal length, determine linear dispersion, which is expressed in millimetres per nanometre (or its inverse, which is called reciprocal dispersion). Linear dispersion represents the spread, in the focal plane, of two wavelengths differing by l nm. Bandwidth, which must not be confused with the width of the slit, is the interval of the spectrum that corresponds to the width in picometres exiting the slit. This width is generally greater than the natural width of the line being transmitted.

BIOCHLOR (Aziz et al., 2000) is a screening model that simulates remediation by natural attenuation of dissolved solvents in groundwater. The software, programmed in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet environment and based on the Domenico analytical solute transport model, has the ability to simulate 1-D advection, 3-D dispersion, linear adsorption, and biotransformation via reductive dechlorination (the dominant biotransformation process at most chlorinated solvent sites). Dissolved solvent degradation is assumed to follow a sequential first order decay process. 

Figure 34. Surface phonon dispersion for 2H-TaSe2. The HAS data are shown as solid circles except for weak points which appear in the TOP spectra as hybridized longitudinal modes that are shown as crosses. All the data were obtained at 60 K, well into the low-temperature phase. The calculated striped and shaded regions, corresponding to transverse and longitudinal polarizations respectively, are the slab-adapted bulk phonon bands, while the solid line is a calculation for the Rayleigh wave based on the Dispersive Linear Chain Model (shown schematically in Fig. 35). The open circles at g = 0 are from Raman scattering experiments. (This figure has been corrected from Fig. 23 in Ref. 54.)...

Figure 35. Schematic drawing of the Dispersive Linear Chain Model applied to 2H-TaSe . The force constants /, and A describe the Ta-Se and Se-Se forces within a TaSej subunit, and / gives the Se-Se force between layers, rf, and are the spring constants between Se atoms and between Ta atoms, respectively, for neighboring subunits in the same layer.

To deseribe the transport and reaetion of these eompounds in the subsurfaee, one-dimensional adveetion, three-dimensional dispersion, linear adsorption, and sequential first order biodegradation are assumed as shown in the equations below. All equations, but the first, are eoupled to another equation through the reaetion term.

It is known that the dissolution rate of each individual phase is determined, on one hand, by its chemical nature and real structure, i.e., by the crystal structure (defects taken into account) and dispersity — linear dimensions of solid particles, their pore structure, and... 

The constraint-release models discussed above have been tested by comparing their predictions to experimental data, as shown in Figures 7.9 and 7.10. For linear polymers for which the molecular weight distribution is unimodal, and not too broad, dynamic dilution is not very important, and theories that account for constraint release without assuming any tube dilation are adequate. Such is the case with the version of the Milner-McLeish theory for linear polymers used to make the predictions shown in Fig. 6.13. The double reptation theory also neglects tube dilation. The dual constraint theory mentioned in Chapter 6 does include dynamic dilution, although its effect is not very important for narrowly dispersed linear polymers. As described above, dynamic dilution becomes important for some bimodal blends, and is certainly extremely important for branched polymers, as discussed in Chapter 9.
