INDEX supported

The real utility of d comes in the analysis of thin films. Consider a substrate of refractive index supporting a thin film of thickness d and refractive index in contact with an internal reflection element (the prism) of refractive index as shown in Figure 24. In this case, d depends on the polarization of the incident light beam and is given by...

In the case of Langmuir monolayers, film thickness and index of refraction have not been given much attention. While several groups have measured A versus a, [143-145], calculations by Knoll and co-workers [146] call into question the ability of ellipsometry to unambiguously determine thickness and refractive index of a Langmuir monolayer. A small error in the chosen index of refraction produces a large error in thickness. A new microscopic imaging technique described in section IV-3E uses ellipsometric contrast but does not require absolute determination of thickness and refractive index. Ellipsometry is routinely used to successfully characterize thin films on solid supports as described in Sections X-7, XI-2, and XV-7.

Limiting Oxygen Index. The minimum concentration of oxygen in an O2/N2 mixture that supports combustion of a vertically mounted test specimen is called the limiting oxygen index (3,4). Test specimens are 0.65 x 0.3 cm x 12.5 cm. The principal advantage of this test is its reproducibiUty which makes it useful for quaUty control. The main disadvantage is that the results rarely correlate with the results of other fire tests.

Much effort has been made by catalyst manufacturers to improve catalyst atttition resistance and thus reduce the formation of fines (see Catalysts, supported). In the 10-year petiod from 1980 to 1990, most catalyst manufacturers improved the atttition resistance of their catalyst by a factor of at least 3—4. This improvement was achieved even though the catalyst zeoHte content duting this petiod was continually increasing, a factor that makes achieving catalyst hardness more difficult. As an example of the type of atttition improvement that has been achieved, the catalyst atttition index, which is directiy related to catalyst loss rate in a laboratory attrition test, decreased from 1.0 to 0.35 for one constant catalyst grade during 1989—1990 (37). 

As indicated above, packed column internals include hqiiid distributors, packing support plates, redistributors (as needed), and holddown plates (to prevent movement of packing under flow conditions). Costs of these internals for columns with random packing are given in Fig. 14-80, based on early 1976 prices, and a Marshall and Swift cost index of 460. 

The so-called Q7 tools and techniques, Cause and Effect Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, etc. (Bicheno, 1994 Dale and McQuater, 1998 Straker, 1995), are applicable to any stage of the product development process. Indeed they support the working of some of the techniques mentioned, for example using a Pareto chart for prioritizing the potential risks in terms of the RPN index for a design as determined in FMEA (see Appendix III). 

In order to understand RAIR spectroscopy, it is convenient to model the experiment (see Fig. 4). Consider a thin film with refractive index n =n ik and thickness d supported by a reflecting substrate with refractive index ni = ri2 — iki- The refractive index of the ambient atmosphere is o- Infrared radiation impinges on the film at an angle of incidence of 6 . The incident radiation can be polarized parallel to or perpendicular to the plane of incidence. 

If there are specific data germane to the assumption of dose-additivity (e g., if two compounds arc present at the same site and it is known that the combination is five times more toxic than the sum of the toxicitics for the two compounds), then tire development of the hazard index should be modified accordingly. The reader can refer to the EPA (1986b) mi.xiure guidelines for discussion of a hazjird index equation that incorporates quantitative interaction data. If data on chemical interactions are available, but arc not adequate to support a quantitative assessment, note the information in the assumptions being documented for the risk assessment. 

If it is deemed appropriate to smii risks and liazard indices across padiways, the risk assessor should clemly idendfy those exposure padiway combinations for which a total risk estimate or hazard index is being developed. The rationale supporting such combinations should also be clearly stated. 

One can read letters through the porous PVA-PVAc film in benzene, but one cannot do so in cyclohexane nor in the case of the blank. This is supported by the fact that the refractive indices of benzene are close to that of PVA, but the refractive index of cyclohexane is far from that of PVA. When the porous film was dipped in a mixed solvent of benzene and cyclohexane (8.0 2.0 in weight), it became semi-transparent. To make this point clearer, the refractive index and the dispersive power of polymers and organic solvents were measured. The results are shown in Table 3, which shows that the refractive index of PVA is near that of benzene and that the dispersion power of aliphatic compounds is lower than that of aromatic compounds. 

Figure 10-11. The sample is a 290 nm thin film of LPPP deposited on a BK7 substrate. A planar waveguide glass/polymer/air is formed since the polymer film has the highest index of refraction. The resulting intensity profile of the guided TE waveguide mode for the sample is shown on the right hand side. Only one guided mode is supported.
