Doping internal

Single molecules also have promise as probes for local stmcture when doped into materials tliat are tliemselves nonfluorescent. Rlrodamine dyes in botli silicate and polymer tliin films exliibit a distribution of fluorescence maxima indicative of considerable heterogeneity in local environments, particularly for the silicate material [159]. A bimodal distribution of fluorescence intensities observed for single molecules of crystal violet in a PMMA film has been suggested to result from high and low viscosity local sites witliin tire polymer tliat give rise to slow and fast internal conversion, respectively [160]. 

The multiorifice spinnerets require a high degree of precision in design and manufacture. The main problems encountered are the deHvery of identical quantities of dope to each orifice and the instantaneous self-adjustment of the spinneret s internal pressure if an orifice plugs during spinning. 

In most spinning processes, the fiber emerging from the spinneret is drawn down to a desired dimension before complete solidification. In some production lines, a laser beam is uti1i2ed to monitor the dimensions of emerging thread any alteration is recorded and if required, the dope deHvery rate, take-up rate, and internal-injection medium deHvery rate are adjusted automaticaUy.

The transition from non-protective internal oxidation to the formation of a protective external alumina layer on nickel aluminium alloys at 1 000-1 300°C was studied by Hindam and Smeltzer . Addition of 2% A1 led to an increase in the oxidation rate compared with pure nickel, and the development of a duplex scale of aluminium-doped nickel oxide and the nickel aluminate spinel with rod-like internal oxide of alumina. During the early stages of oxidation of a 6% A1 alloy somewhat irreproducible behaviour was observed while the a-alumina layer developed by the coalescence of the rodlike internal precipitates and lateral diffusion of aluminium. At a lower temperature (800°C) Stott and Wood observed that the rate of oxidation was reduced by the addition of 0-5-4% A1 which they attributed to the blocking action of internal precipitates accumulating at the scale/alloy interface. At higher temperatures up to 1 200°C, however, an increase in the oxidation rate was observed due to aluminium doping of the nickel oxide and the inability to establish a healing layer of alumina. 

Surface hydrogen is conveniently detected by MIR at attenuated-total-internal-reflection prisms of GaAs electrodes. Si-doped (100)-oriented n-GaAs single crystals were employed in the electrochemical cell illustrated schematically in Figure 3.3.

Electrodes responding to other halides, sulphide, cyanide, silver, lead, copper and cadmium are made using membranes fabricated from pure or doped silver sulphide (Ag2S). The membrane potential is affected by the movement of Ag+ ions between cationic lattice sites which in turn is determined by the activities of the Ag+ ion in the internal and sample solutions. As the activity of the former is fixed, that of the latter alone influences the membrane potential. The electrode will also respond to the presence of S2- ions because of their effect on the Ag+ ion activity via the solubility product expression ... 

Electrochemical oxidation of X produces a polymer film with polythiophene as the backbone and viologen centers as pendant redox groups. The electrochemical properties of the polymer are the combination of polythiophene and viologen. Using viologen subunits as the internal standard (one per repeat unit of the polymer), the "doping level" of the oxidized polythiophene backbone at its maximum conductivity can be measured and is about 25%. The charge transport via the pendant V2+/+ of poly(l) has been studied by...
