Displacement morphology

Figure Bl.19.1. Principle of operation of a scanning tiimrelling microscope. The x- andj -piezodrives scan the tip across the surface. In one possible mode of operation, the current from the tip is fed into a feedback loop that controls the voltage to die z-piezo, to maintam constant current. The Ime labelled z-displacement shows the tip reacting both to morphological and chemical (i.e. electronic) inliomogeneities. (Taken from [213].)...

There are probably more than five million species on the Earth many of which are very similar. Moreover, as many as now exist have probably been lost. In our opinion it is not to be expected that an explanation can be given for particular species although they are connected by morphology or DNA/RNA or protein sequences. We shall turn to the problem as to why there have been and are so many species in Chapter 11. We wish to look at evolution from the point of view of very general chemical and physical principles which is the same thermodynamic approach that we used in the analysis of formation of clouds or the ozone layer in Section 3.4. We observe immediately that the major groups in Table 4.2 have all advanced and have not displaced one another. 

Displacement reactions are quite common in solid state chemistry. The classical reactions of this type were already investigated many years ago by Tammann as powder reactions (e.g., PbS+CdO = PbO + CdS or ZnS+CdO = ZnO+CdS [G. Tammann (1925)]). Systematic kinetic studies in this field of research are scarce because the complex morphology adds to all the other complications of solid state... 

Detailed modeling of a porous material under compression is a challenging task of applied structural mechanics. The reduced compression model employed in the current study is based on the unidirectional morphological displacement of solid voxels in the GDL structure under load and with the assumption of negligible transverse strain. The reduced compression model is detailed in our recent work.33 However, with the reduced compression model, it is difficult to find a relation between the compression ratio and the external load. The compression ratio is defined as the ratio of the thickness of compressed sample to that of the uncompressed sample. Nevertheless, this approach leads to reliable 3-D morphology of the non-woven GDL structures under compression. Figure 17a shows compressed, reconstructed non-woven GDL... 

Displacement of peak of fusion on curves DTA in area of smaller temperatures specifies that in the modified fibres crystals have mainly morphological form II (the extended circuits of polymers incorporated into crystallites) while in initial PETP crystals mainly have morphological form I (folded structure). Therefore for initial PETP it is observed endothermic effect at temperature 269°C - speaking by fusion flat folded crystallites (morphological form I). At modified PETP - fibers this effect is observed at temperature 245 - 263°C, it speaks fusion of spherallite (the morphological form II).
