For both first-order and continuous phase transitions, finite size shifts the transition and rounds it in some way. The shift for first-order transitions arises, crudely, because the chemical potential, like most other properties, has a finite-size correction p(A)-p(oo) C (l/A). An approximate expression for this was derived by Siepmann et al [134]. Therefore, the line of intersection of two chemical potential surfaces Pj(T,P) and pjj T,P) will shift, in general, by an amount 0 IN). The rounding is expected because the partition fiinction only has singularities (and hence produces discontinuous or divergent properties) in tlie limit i—>oo otherwise, it is analytic, so for finite Vthe discontinuities must be smoothed out in some way. The shift for continuous transitions arises because the transition happens when L for the finite system, but when i oo m the infinite system. The rounding happens for the same reason as it does for first-order phase transitions whatever the nature of the divergence in thennodynamic properties (described, typically, by critical exponents) it will be limited by the finite size of the system. 

Figure C2.10.1. Potential dependence of the scattering intensity of tire (1,0) reflection measured in situ from Ag (100)/0.05 M NaBr after a background correction (dots). The solid line represents tire fit of tire experimental data witli a two dimensional Ising model witli a critical exponent of 1/8. Model stmctures derived from tire experiments are depicted in tire insets for potentials below (left) and above (right) tire critical potential (from [15]).

It is readily seen that when p is large enough and the hyperbolic sines in (4.18) can be replaced by exponents, the effect of the prefactor B, is to replace the potential V s) by the vibrationally adiabatic... 

Coefficient A and exponent a must be evaluated experimentally. Experiments have shown that A and a are themselves functions of the Reynolds number. Equation 47 shows that the resistance force increases with increasing velocity. If the force field (e.g., gravity) has the same potential at all points, a dynamic equilibrium between forces P and R develops shortly after the particle motion begins. As described earlier, at some distance from its start the particle falls at a constant velocity. If the acting force depends on the particle location in space, in a... 

The horizontal axis corresponds to an intemuclear separation running from 1.5 to 2.5 flo and the vertical axis corresponds to an orbital exponent running from 1,0 to 1.4. The potential energy minimum corresponds to an exponent of 1.238, and we note the contraction of the atomic Is orbital on molecule formation.

Generally, the values of the scaling exponent are smaller for polymers than for molecular liquids, for which 3.2 < y < 8.5. A larger y, or steeper repulsive potential, implies greater influence of jamming on the dynamics. The smaller exponent found for polymers in comparison with small-molecule liquids means that volume effects are weaker for polymers, which is ironic given their central role in the historical development of free-volume models. The reason why y is smaller... 

Note that a number of complicating factors have been left out for clarity For instance, in the EMF equation, activities instead of concentrations should be used. Activities are related to concentrations by a multiplicative activity coefficient that itself is sensitive to the concentrations of all ions in the solution. The reference electrode necessary to close the circuit also generates a (diffusion) potential that is a complex function of activities and ion mobilities. Furthermore, the slope S of the electrode function is an experimentally determined parameter subject to error. The essential point, though, is that the DVM-clipped voltages appear in the exponent and that cheap equipment extracts a heavy price in terms of accuracy and precision (viz. quantization noise such an instrument typically displays the result in a 1 mV, 0.1 mV, 0.01 mV, or 0.001 mV format a two-decimal instrument clips a 345.678. .. mV result to 345.67 mV, that is it does not round up ... 78 to ... 8 ). 

With the critical exponent being positive, it follows that large shifts of the critical temperature are expected when the fluid is confined in a narrow space. Evans et al. computed the shift of the critical temperature for a liquid/vapor phase transition in a parallel-plates geometry [67]. They considered a maximum width of the slit of 20 times the range of the interaction potential between the fluid and the solid wall. For this case, a shift in critical temperature of 5% compared with the free-space phase transition was found. From theoretical considerations of critical phenomena... 

As only very dilute solutions are considered, where the ions are rarely close together, the interionic potential energy is small (Q, U < kT). Therefore, the exponent factor may be replaced by...
