Foils

If a conventional core has been cut, it will be retrieved from the barrel on the rig floor and crated. It is common to do a lithologic description at this stage. To avoid drying out of core samples and the escape of light hydrocarbons some sections will be immediately sealed in a coating of hot wax and foil. 

During the control, the reception coil has been scanning inside of the emission coils. The theoretical and experimental results have been obtained under the condition of a constant lift-off of 50 pm, obtained by applying a protective polyethilenic foil. 

Imaging plates are exposed similar to radiographic films. They are read out by a LASER-scanner to a digital image without any developing process. After optical erasing of the virtual picture the same IP can be used cyclic up to more than 1000 times. The life time is limited by the mechanical stability of the IP s. An IP consists of a flexible polymer carrier which is coated with the sensitive layer. This layer is covered with a thin transparent protective foil. 

In analogy with the investigations for 400 keV the values for 100, 200 and 300 keV, Iridium-192 and Cobalt-60 were determined (Table I, [1,3]). For Co-60 the equivalent value for film could not be reached with lead foils. Sandwich sPuctures of steel foils and lead foils were necessary. For instance, with 0,5 mm steel and 1 mm lead one could only attain about 80 % of the film value referred to 1/(1+k). The necessary equivalent value is estimated to be 0,5 mm steel and 1,5-2,0 mm lead, but we are still short of determining the precise value.

Usually, a 0.5 mm thick beryllium foil window is used with an useful opening of 10mm diameter frequently, 0.2 mm foils are used, too. 

The diameter can be extended, and a beryllium foil of 0.125 mm has also been tested. 

The use of thin metal foils (Be, Cu, Ti) reduces the radiation attenuation in the window or serves as pre-filtration for various measurement set-ups. 

The basic observation is that a thin plate, such as a microscope cover glass or piece of platinum foil, will support a meniscus whose weight both as measured statically or by detachment is given very accurately by the ideal equation (assuming zero contact angle) ...

Figure Bl.25.9(a) shows the positive SIMS spectrum of a silica-supported zirconium oxide catalyst precursor, freshly prepared by a condensation reaction between zirconium ethoxide and the hydroxyl groups of the support [17]. Note the simultaneous occurrence of single ions (Ff, Si, Zr and molecular ions (SiO, SiOFf, ZrO, ZrOFf, ZrtK. Also, the isotope pattern of zirconium is clearly visible. Isotopes are important in the identification of peaks, because all peak intensity ratios must agree with the natural abundance. In addition to the peaks expected from zirconia on silica mounted on an indium foil, the spectrum in figure Bl. 25.9(a)...

Historically, the first and most important capacitance method is the vibrating capacitor approach implemented by Lord Kelvin in 1897. In this technique (now called the Kelvin probe), the reference plate moves relative to the sample surface at some constant frequency and tlie capacitance changes as tlie interelectrode separation changes. An AC current thus flows in the external circuit. Upon reduction of the electric field to zero, the AC current is also reduced to zero. Originally, Kelvin detected the zero point manually using his quadrant electrometer. Nowadays, there are many elegant and sensitive versions of this technique. A piezoceramic foil can be used to vibrate the reference plate. To minimize noise and maximize sensitivity, a phase-locked...

The discrepancy is not large and the last term is zero for a system without net charge. Thus we see that the use of a shifted Coulomb force is equivalent to a tin-foil reaction field and almost equivalent to a tin-foil Born condition. 

The same idea was actually exploited by Neumann in several papers on dielectric properties [52, 69, 70]. Using a tin-foil reaction field the relation between the (frequency-dependent) relative dielectric constant e(tj) and the autocorrelation function of the total dipole moment M t] becomes particularly simple ...

Meanwhile, the organic compound can be prepared for analysis whilst the sealed end C (Fig. 72) of the Carius tube has been cooling dow n. For this purpose, thoroughly clean and dry a small tube, which is about 6 cm. long and 8-10 mm. w ide. Weigh it carefully, supporting it on the balance pan either by means of a small stand of aluminium foil, or by a short section of a perforated rubber stopper (Fig. 73 (A) and (B) respectively) alternatively the tube may be placed in a small beaker on the balance pan, or suspended above the pan by a small hooked wire girdle. 

The 40-45 per cent, hydrazine solution may be concentrated as follows. A mixture of 150 g. (144 ml.) of the solution and 230 ml. of xylene is distilled from a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask through a well-lagged Hempel (or other efficient fractionating) column fitted into a cork covered with tin foil. All the xylene passes over with about 85 ml. of water. Upon distillation of the residue, about 50 g. of 90-95 per cent, hydrazine hydrate (5) are obtained. 

The product is sometimes contaminated with silicic acid from the glass of the condenser this may be removed by filtration. All corlcs should be covered with tin foil to avoid attack by the hydrazine hydrate. 

If an appreciable amount of residue remains, note its colour. Add a few drops of water and test the solution (or suspension) with htmus or with Universal indicator paper. Then add a httle dilute hydrochloric acid and observe whether efiervesceiice occurs and the residue dissolves. Apply a flame test with a platinum wire on the hydrochloric acid solution to determine the metal present. (In rare cases, it may be necessary to subject a solution of the residue to the methods of qualitative inorganic analysis to identify the metal or metals present.) If the flame test indicates sodium, repeat the ignition of the substance on platinum foil.
