Electronics handling

Detector dead time. This is the time required for the detection and electronic handling of an ion pulse. If another ion strikes the detector surface within the time required for handling the first ion pulse, the second ion will not be detected and, hence, the observed count rate will be lower than the actual value. If this is not corrected for, inaccurate isotope ratio results will be reported. In ICP-MS, several mathematical methods should be applied for its evaluation and correction. 

Calibration of a DTA involves adjustment of instrumental electronics, handling and manipulation of the data in order to ensure the accuracy of the measured quantities temperature, heat capacity and enthalpy [614,615,621]. Temperature sensors such as thermocouples, resistivity thermometers or thermistors may experience drifts that affect the mathematical relationship between the voltage or resistance and the absolute temperature. Also, significant differences between the true internal temperature of a sample with poor thermal conductivity and the temperature recorded by a probe in contact with the sample cup can develop when the sample is subjected to faster temperature scans. The important quantity measured in DTA experiments is the AT output from which enthalpy or heat capacity information is extracted. The proportionality constant must thus be determined using a known enthalpy or heat capacity - the power-compensated DSC requires lower attentiveness as it works already in units of power. The factors such as mass of the specimen, its form and placement, interfaces and surface within the sample and at its contact to holder, atmosphere...

Due to the pulsed radiation output of the LINAC the detectors and the detector electronics have to handle very high counting rates in very short periods. Therefore the detectors have to work in a mode, where the detector output is integrated for one or several beam pulses. For that purpose the crystals are coupled to photo- diodes. Their currents are read out and analysed by the electronic board, which has been developed for this special application. 

The chemical potential pi, has been generalized to the electrochemical potential Hj since we will be dealing with phases whose charge may be varied. The problem that now arises is that one desires to deal with individual ionic species and that these are not independently variable. In the present treatment, the difficulty is handled by regarding the electrons of the metallic phase as the dependent component whose amount varies with the addition or removal of charged components in such a way that electroneutrality is preserved. One then writes, for the ith charged species. 

Appendix A Perturbative Handling of the Renner—Teller Effect and Spin-Orbit Coupling in n Electronic States of Tetraatomic Molecules... 

In Section IV.A.4, we show what this general model looks like in the case of H electronic states of symmehic tetraatomic molecules. The situation in H states of asymmetric tetraatomics is briefly discussed in Section IV.B, where we present the handling of a concrete case, the X Uu state of the HCCS radical. For A states the reader is referred to original references [18,149,150,153]. 

Determination of the paiameters entering the model Hamiltonian for handling the R-T effect (quadratic force constant for the mean potential and the Renner paiameters) was carried out by fitting special forms of the functions [Eqs. (75) and (77)], as described above, and using not more than 10 electronic energies for each of the X H component states, computed at cis- and toans-planai geometries. This procedure led to the above mentioned six parameters... 

APPENDIX A PERTURBATIVE HANDLING OF THE RENNER-TELLER EFFECT AND SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING IN n ELECTRONIC STATES OF TETRAATOMIC MOLECULES... 

As in the case of H electronic states of tetraatomic molecules, because of generally high degeneracy of zeroth-order vibronic leves only several particular (but important) coupling cases can be handled efficiently in the framework of the pertnrbation theory. We consider the following paiticnlai" cases ...
