Comparison of thermal and photochemical activation. The identical color changes that accompany the thermal and photochemical methyl transfer in various [Py+, BMe ] salts suggests that pre-equilibrium charge-transfer complexation is common to both processes. Moreover, the methyl transfer either by charge-transfer photolysis or by thermal activation of [Py+, BMeT] leads to the same products, which strongly suggests common reactive intermediates (i.e., the radical pair in equation (46)) for both thermal and photochemical processes. 

Although an accurate theory of equilibrium and nonequihbrium charge-state populations must presumably be based on a quantal description of electron capture and loss, a simple estimate of the equilibrium charge state...

The question now arises as to what factors are responsible for determining the rates at which the various cell processes occur. Thermodynamic arguments permit the feasibility of overall cell reactions to be predicted, but give no information on rates. To understand the latter it is necessary to consider the effects on various parts of the cell of forcing the cell voltage to assume a value different from that of the equilibrium emf. It has been shown above that in the Daniell cell at equilibrium, charge transfer across the zinc/solution interface can be described in terms of processes... 

EFFECT OF NON-EQUILIBRIUM CHARGE SCREENING (COULOMB INTERACTION)... 

The role of the non-equilibrium charge screening is emphasized by calculations neglecting such screening, i.e., when equations (5.1.54) are omitted and Uv r) — L/r is postulated. In this case mutual repulsion of similar particles accompanied by the attraction between dissimilar particles are characterized by the infinite interaction radius between particles which leads immediately to the Coulomb catastrophe - an infinite increase in K(t) in time shown in Fig. 6.47. This effect is independent of the choice of the initial defect distributions for both similar and dissimilar particles. On the other hand, incorporation of the Coulomb screening makes equations (6.4.1), (6.4.2) asymptotically valid for any initial distribution of particles.

Dotted curve - the Debye theory (no screening and similar particle correlation) broken curves - the solution of kinetic equations incorporating these correlations but neglecting screening full curves, screening is taken into account. Parameters L = 5, Da = Db. Curves 1 to 3 correspond to dimensionless concentrations ...

PLASMA FREQUENCY. The oscillation frequency of plasma electrons about an equilibrium charge distribution is called the plasma or Langmuir frequency and is... 

Of the uncertainties in the calculated numbers, we believe the most important to arise from the matrix element A(z). As discussed above, the matrix element was calculated in the apex configuration, which involves an intermediate water molecule between the wall and the solvation shell. Similar previous calculations for the case of iron indicated that the matrix element could be larger in other configurations. In particular, the matrix element for a similar geometry but without the extra water molecule had similar exponential behavior in z but with a larger prefactor corresponding to approximately 1A shift in the A(z) curve. To explore the effects of such differences in the matrix element, we ran adiabatic simulations at the previously determined equilibrium charge a — 5 pC/cm2 with just this prefactor and found that the...
