In probes

The scan mode display is divided into a number of windows, that display the data recorded from the active inspections. In addition, the A-scan data from the ultrasonic probes can be displayed in probe monitor windows, for monitoring the signal quality. Figure 7 shows the scan mode display for simultaneous recording of two P-scan inspections (displayed in the same presentation window) and a T-scan inspection together with 3 probe monitor windows. 

Because x-rays are particularly penetrating, they are very usefiil in probing solids, but are not as well suited for the analysis of surfaces. X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods are nevertheless used routinely in the characterization of powders and of supported catalysts to extract infomration about the degree of crystallinity and the nature and crystallographic phases of oxides, nitrides and carbides [, ]. Particle size and dispersion data are often acquired with XRD as well. 

Thus, time-resolved absorjDtion measurements are often useful to initially characterize tire kinetic characteristics of a reaction, but otlier spectroscopic metliods may also be useful in probing more subtle or stmcture-specific mechanistic features. In tire many cases in which one would like to obtain more infonnation about tire stmctural features of intennediates... 

The path length is set by the experimental configuration while a is known for each transition (such as OO O J—> OO l, J 1 or OO l J—> 00 2, J 1). Thus, a measurement of zi///provides the partial pressure P of molecules produced in probed states such as OO O Jor 00 1 J. (Strictly, optical probing measures the difference in the partial pressures between the upper and lower states of the probed transition however, in practice, the lower state population is always much larger than the upper state population so that the probe senses only the lower state population in the experiment.)... 

Future trends will include studies of grain-dependent surface adsorption phenomena, such as gas-solid reactions and surface segregation. More frequent use of the element-specific CEELS version of REELM to complement SAM in probing the conduction-band density of states should occur. As commercially available SAM instruments improve their spot sizes, especially at low Eq with field emission sources, REELM will be possible at lateral resolutions approaching 10 nm without back scattered electron problems. 

Resistance thermometers are made of a pure metal, such as platinum, nickel, or copper. The electrical resistance of such a material is almost linearly dependent on temperature. Resistance thermometers are stable, having a small drift. A widely used and the best-known resistance probe is the IW-100 probe, which is platinum, having a resistance of 100 ohms at the temperature of 0 °C. Other resistance values for PT probes are available. The resistance versus temperature values as well as tolerances for platinum probes are standardized. The shape and size of a resistance probe can vary considerably, resulting in changes in probe dynamics. 

Eddy currents The examination of non-ferrous tubing using external coils is a well-tried and successful inspection technique, owing mainly to the pioneering work of Forster in Germany. The adoption of this method for in-situ inspection of condenser tubes, by mounting eddy-current coils in probes (or bobbins) that can be inserted in condenser tubes, was a logical development of the technique. Suitable apparatus was developed in the immediate post-war period more or less independently by several oil and chemical companies. The principle of operation has been described in the literature... 

The ODMR spectrometer resembles the PA spectrometer shown in Figure 7-1, with the sample placed in a microwave cavity between the pole pieces of an electromagnet. The sample is constantly illuminated by the pump and probe beams amplitude-modulated microwaves arc coupled into the cavity through a waveguide. Changes Si in PL or ST in probe transmission are delected by lock-in am-... 

Needless to say, the extreme difficulty we experience in probing the composition of the earth beneath us suggests that little is known about the inner composition of the planets. The evidence available is indirect (average density, sur-...

Techniques are described which obtain the IR absorption spectra of species, either adsorbed or free In the electrode/electrolyte solution Interphase. Applications slanted towards topics relevant to electrocatalytic processes are discussed to Illustrate the capabilities of the methods In probing molecular structure, orientation and Interactions. 

After the discovery of the combined charge and space symmetry violation, or CP violation, in the decay of neutral mesons [2], the search for the EDMs of elementary particles has become one of the fundamental problems in physics. A permanent EDM is induced by the super-weak interactions that violate both space inversion symmetry and time reversal invariance [11], Considerable experimental efforts have been invested in probing for atomic EDMs (da) induced by EDMs of the proton, neutron, and electron, and by the P,T-odd interactions between them. The best available limit for the electron EDM, de, was obtained from atomic T1 experiments [12], which established an upper limit of de < 1.6 x 10 27e-cm. The benchmark upper limit on a nuclear EDM is obtained from the atomic EDM experiment on Iyt,Hg [13] as d ig < 2.1 x 10 2 e-cm, from which the best restriction on the proton EDM, dp < 5.4 x 10 24e-cm, was also obtained by Dmitriev and Senkov [14]. The previous upper limit on the proton EDM was estimated from the molecular T1F experiments by Hinds and co-workers [15]. 

The analogy drawn between -stacked solids and duplex DNA has provided a useful starting point for experiments to probe and understand DNA-medi-ated CT. As with the -stacked solids, the DNA base pair array can provide an effective medium for long range CT. Mechanistically, however, the differences between DNA and these solid state materials may be even more important to consider. Duplex DNA, as a molecular -stacked structure, undergoes dynamical motion in solution. The time-dependent and sequence-dependent structures that arise serve to modulate and gate CT. Indeed in probing DNA CT as a function of sequence and sequence-dependent structure, we may better understand mechanistically how CT proceeds and how DNA CT may be utilized. 

The foregoing discussions have shown how valuable ion-molecule reactions are in probing potential energy surfaces of isomers, ABCD+, by accessing the surface with association reactions, transiently with binary reactions where essentially the (ABCD+) intermediate undergoes unimolecular decomposition, or as a product in binary reactions. In the association reactions, isomers can only be produced if they... 

Models, based on well established mechanisms and "properly" validated with experimental data, can be useful in probing into areas impractical or impossible to study experimentally. For example, it is very difficult and time consuming to determine functionality distributions of oligomers or copolymers a "validated" polymerization model can calculate such distributions with relative ease. 

Early interest in the relation between the shape of chain molecules and solvent in ring-closure reactions can be traced in the work of Salomon (1936a). More recently, the problem has been given much attention by Winnik (1977). Though being small (see p. 64), the corresponding effects on the ease of cyclisation are believed to be of considerable importance in probing the shape of hydrocarbon and other flexible chains in solution. 

Several general conclusions are drawn concerning the status of EM as a supremely versatile tool in the study of the materials chemistry of catalysts. First, it is no longer necessary to regard EM as a tool for model studies (131-133). The triumphant exploitation of the environmental cell in HRTEM marks the dawn of a new era in probing dynamic catalysis (4,87—95). Second, EM techniques, as has...
