Displacement Region

The Displacement Region, immediately upstream of the canopy, where the how is hrst affected by the canopy, and at least partially dehects around the canopy... 

We observed that a change in the structure of the experimental environment resulted in the change of CVCs both in the direct displacement region and in the region of backward displacement. Essentially, the current grows in both regions at the same displacement with the introduction of CO into the air. 

Chevroning. Fault-like planes in rotary kiln linings. The bricks between adjacent fault planes are tilted out of alignment with a V or chevron end to the displaced region. Ovality of the kiln structure is one cause. 

Environmental vulnerability varies considerably from area to area. For example the North Sea, which is displaced into the Atlantic over a two year period,-is a much more robust area than the Caspian Sea which is enclosed. Regional standards should reflect those differences. 

There is also a traffic between the surface region and the adjacent layers of liquid. For most liquids, diffusion coefficients at room temperature are on the order of 10 cm /sec, and the diffusion coefficient is related to the time r for a net displacement jc by an equation due to Einstein ... 

Corrosion protection of metals can take many fonns, one of which is passivation. As mentioned above, passivation is the fonnation of a thin protective film (most commonly oxide or hydrated oxide) on a metallic surface. Certain metals that are prone to passivation will fonn a thin oxide film that displaces the electrode potential of the metal by +0.5-2.0 V. The film severely hinders the difflision rate of metal ions from the electrode to tire solid-gas or solid-liquid interface, thus providing corrosion resistance. This decreased corrosion rate is best illustrated by anodic polarization curves, which are constructed by measuring the net current from an electrode into solution (the corrosion current) under an applied voltage. For passivable metals, the current will increase steadily with increasing voltage in the so-called active region until the passivating film fonns, at which point the current will rapidly decrease. This behaviour is characteristic of metals that are susceptible to passivation. 

In order to remove tlie unwanted electrical activity associated witli deep-level impurities or defects, one can eitlier physically displace tlie defect away from tlie active region of tlie device (gettering) or force it to react witli anotlier impurity to remove (or at least change) its energy eigenvalues and tlierefore its electrical activity passivation). 

In order to determine the energy it would thus seem that it is necessary merely to minimise E with respect to the positions x and the displacements y. However, a complication arises due to the fact that the displacements in the outer region are themselves a function of the inner-region coordinates. The solution to this problem is to require that the forces on the ions in region 1 are zero, rather than that the energy should be at a minimum (for simple problems the two are synonymous, but in practice there rnay still be some non-zero forces present when the energy minimum is considered to have been located). An additional requirement is that the ions in region 2 need to be at equilibrium. 

From these calculated displacements, the contributions to the energy from the ions in re 2a can be determined. Finally, it is necessary to determine the contribution from the io] region 2b. As we have mentioned, these are not included explicitly but are considers polarise due to the electrostatic field from the total charge on the defect. This contribr is gi en by the following summation ... 

Table VIII. The compounds selected are as typical as possible, but it must be remembered that there are many environmental factors that produce changes in the location of the absorption bands. These displacements are usually of the order of a few mp., but in some cases they are so great as to move the absorption band into a completely different region of the spectrum.

Much more information can be obtained by examining the mechanical properties of a viscoelastic material over an extensive temperature range. A convenient nondestmctive method is the measurement of torsional modulus. A number of instmments are available (13—18). More details on use and interpretation of these measurements may be found in references 8 and 19—25. An increase in modulus value means an increase in polymer hardness or stiffness. The various regions of elastic behavior are shown in Figure 1. Curve A of Figure 1 is that of a soft polymer, curve B of a hard polymer. To a close approximation both are transpositions of each other on the temperature scale. A copolymer curve would fall between those of the homopolymers, with the displacement depending on the amount of hard monomer in the copolymer (26—28). 

Radiation Damage. It has been known for many years that bombardment of a crystal with energetic (keV to MeV) heavy ions produces regions of lattice disorder. An implanted ion entering a soHd with an initial kinetic energy of 100 keV comes to rest in the time scale of about 10 due to both electronic and nuclear coUisions. As an ion slows down and comes to rest in a crystal, it makes a number of coUisions with the lattice atoms. In these coUisions, sufficient energy may be transferred from the ion to displace an atom from its lattice site. Lattice atoms which are displaced by an incident ion are caUed primary knock-on atoms (PKA). A PKA can in turn displace other atoms, secondary knock-ons, etc. This process creates a cascade of atomic coUisions and is coUectively referred to as the coUision, or displacement, cascade. The disorder can be directiy observed by techniques sensitive to lattice stmcture, such as electron-transmission microscopy, MeV-particle channeling, and electron diffraction. 

A commonly used measure of irradiation damage is displacements per atom (dpa). A unit of 1 dpa means that on the average, every atom in the irradiated volume has been displaced once from its equiUbrium lattice site. The approximated dpa in the implanted region is given by equation 16 where 0 (ions/cm ) is the dose, and (NJE)) is the damage function given by equation 14.
