The transient current response of photo-electrodes to stepped-illumination changes suggests itself as a method of mechanistically interpreting this quantum efficiency problem. Though such transients have been studied for p-type GaP (1) and a number of n-type transition metal compounds (2, 3, 5, 6), published... 

Figure 12.1 Consider a processing element that is located at a position where the illuminant changes linearly from left to right. The plot in (b) shows the smooth linear curve of the illuminant. Local space average color computed by the element on the left will be a little lower and local space average color computed by the element on the right will be a little higher. Both effects cancel each other and space average color will be in equilibrium, which will result in vertical bands. The positive and negative contributions cancel each other.

Irradiation of photosynthetic particles containing deactive FNR, and the thiorredoxin / Aiorredoxin-reductase system (4). Neither in this mixture, nor in a duplicate supplemented with DTT and illuminated changes were found in the activity of the FNR. 

To our knowledge, the most comprehensive evidence in support of the IFP mechanism was in Lewis et al. [6] where the differences among three systems were shown (i) an IFP system, (ii) an IFP system with a small-molecule inhibitor added so that only diffusion and no front occurred, and (iii) a system with only monomer solution and no seed so that bulk polymerization occurred. The differences in these systems were shown using Wiener s method [48, 49], a laser sheet deflection technique (LLD) that illuminated changes in RI. The experimental system of this study contained a polymer seed and its monomer solution in a cuvette (Figure 5.8a, side view) [6]. To explain the results of this experiment, the authors first explained how LLD illuminated an IFP sample A low-power laser (about 8mW) passed... 

More recently, studies of the hysteresis of these phase transitions have illuminated the importance of kinetic factors in solid-solid phase transitions [224]. The change between crystal stmctures does not occur at the same point when pressure is increasing, as when it is decreasing the difference between this up-stroke and down-stroke pressure... 

If a dye is used which changes its properties by illumination, eg, its shape like the a2oben2ene, the phase change temperature can be lowered. The writing process then is nearly isothermal which helps to reduce spot diameters. 

The impetus to develop the petroleum refining industry came from several changes in life-styles. The increased needs for illuminants, for fuel to drive the factories of the industrial revolution, for gasoline to power the automobiles, as well as the demand for aviation fuel, all contributed to the increased use of petroleum. 

Under Irradiation. Under illumination, the surface characteristics can undergo dramatic changes, altering the nature of the adsorption sites. Thus, dark adsorption—desorption events are altered, and additional events arising from photoadsorption—photodesorption equiUbria take place.
