The FS system developed by CIBA Additives seems to be a breakthrough for color-critical PO applications. These new systems do not contain phenolic antioxidants so they provide good color stability and gas fade resistance, long term thermal, and UV light stability. They improve the activity of the HAS. Doverphos HiPure 4, introduced by Dover Chem. Corp, is a high purity processing and heat stabilizer, cost effective, and FDA approved for food contact applications and medical devices. 

Infrared pulses of 200 fs duration with 150 of bandwidth centred at 2000 were used in this study. They were generated in a two-step procedure [46]. First, a p-BaB204 (BBO) OPO was used to convert the 800 mn photons from the Ti sapphire amplifier system into signal and idler beams at 1379 and 1905 mn, respectively. These two pulses were sent tlirough a difference frequency crystal (AgGaS2) to yield pulses... 

In order to achieve a reasonable signal strength from the nonlinear response of approximately one atomic monolayer at an interface, a laser source with high peak power is generally required. Conuuon sources include Q-switched ( 10 ns pulsewidth) and mode-locked ( 100 ps) Nd YAG lasers, and mode-locked ( 10 fs-1 ps) Ti sapphire lasers. Broadly tunable sources have traditionally been based on dye lasers. More recently, optical parametric oscillator/amplifier (OPO/OPA) systems are coming into widespread use for tunable sources of both visible and infrared radiation. 

The wavepacket is propagated until a time where it is all scattered and is away from the interaction region. This time is short (typically 10-100 fs) for a direct reaction. Flowever, for some types of systems, e.g. for reactions with wells, the system can be trapped in resonances which are quasi-bound states (see section B3.4.7). There are eflScient ways to handle time-dependent scattering even with resonances, by propagating for a short time and then extracting the resonances and adding their contribution [69]. 

Such a free energy is called a potential of mean force. Average values of Fs can be computed in dynamics simulations (which sample a Boltzmann distribution), and the integral can be estimated from a series of calculations at several values of s. A third method computes the free energy for perturbing the system by a finite step in s, for example, from si to S2, with... 

The skeletal LN procedure is a dual timestep scheme, At, Atm, of two practical tasks (a) constructing the Hessian H in system (17) every Atm interval, and (b) solving system (17), where R is given by eq. (3), at the timestep At by procedure (23) outlined for LIN above. When a force-splitting procedure is also applied to LN, a value At > Atm is used to update the slow forces less often than the linearized model. A suitable frequency for the linearization is 1-3 fs (the smaller value is used for water systems), and the appropriate inner timestep is 0.5 fs, as in LIN. This inner timestep parallels the update frequency of the fast motions in force splitting approaches, and the linearization frequency Atm) is analogous to the medium timestep used in such three-class schemes (see below). 

A detailed examination of LN behavior is available [88] for the blocked alanine model, the proteins BPTI and lysozyme, and a large water system, compared to reference Langevin trajectories, in terms of energetic, geometric, and dynamic behavior. The middle timestep in LN can be considered an adjustable quantity (when force splitting is used), whose value does not significantly affect performance but does affect accuracy with respect to the reference trajectories. For example, we have used Atm = 3 fs for the proteins in vacuum, but 1 fs for the water system, where librational motions are rapid. 

It turns out that the CSP approximation dominates the full wavefunction, and is therefore almost exact till t 80 fs. This timescale is already very useful The first Rs 20 fs are sufficient to determine the photoadsorption lineshape and, as turns out, the first 80 fs are sufficient to determine the Resonance Raman spectrum of the system. Simple CSP is almost exact for these properties. As Fig. 3 shows, for later times the accuracy of the CSP decays quickly for t 500 fs in this system, the contribution of the CSP approximation to the full Cl wavefunction is almost negligible. In addition, this wavefunction is dominated not by a few specific terms of the Cl expansion, but by a whole host of configurations. The decay of the CSP approximation was found to be due to hard collisions between the iodine atoms and the surrounding wall of argons. Already the first hard collision brings a major deterioration of the CSP approximation, but also the role of the second collision can be clearly identified. As was mentioned, for t < 80 fs, the CSP... 

Temperature also determines step size. An acceptable time step for room temperature simulations is about 0..5-1 fs for All Atom system s or for sim Illation s that do not con strain hydrogen atoms. For United Atom systems or systems containing only heavy atoms, you can use steps of 1-2 fs.
