If the thermally conductive body is in contact with another medium, several different boundary conditions can apply, each depending on whether the other medium is a solid or fluid, and its respective material properties. When the other medium is another solid, the heat flux at the interface of body 1 to body 2 is the same for both bodies. According to (2.18), at the interface, index I, it is valid that... 

The specimens are observed under monochromatic illumination. The profile u x) of the liquid/rubber interface can be deduced from the interference pattern generated by rays reflected off the glass/liquid interface (refractive indices no and ni, respectively) on the one hand, and off the liquid/rubber interface (index 722) on the other (Figure 9.24).

In the covalent limit, the MIGS penetration length Ip is no longer the relevant length scale. The charge penetration inside the insulator is limited by the screening length h, and the interface index is equal to ... 

The quantities Ob and S depend upon the insulator ionicity through the ratio (ec — a)/P, which fixes Ip and Ij. In the literature, the Schottky barrier height and the interface index have been compiled instead as a function of the anion-cation electronegativity difference (Kurtin et al, 1969), but this was later criticized by Schliiter (1978) and Cohen (1979). 

The detailed examination of the behavior of light passing through or reflected by an interface can, in principle, allow the determination of the monolayer thickness, its index of refiraction and absorption coefficient as a function of wavelength. The subjects of ellipsometry, spectroscopy, and x-ray reflection deal with this goal we sketch these techniques here. 

In ellipsometry monochromatic light such as from a He-Ne laser, is passed through a polarizer, rotated by passing through a compensator before it impinges on the interface to be studied [142]. The reflected beam will be elliptically polarized and is measured by a polarization analyzer. In null ellipsometry, the polarizer, compensator, and analyzer are rotated to produce maximum extinction. The phase shift between the parallel and perpendicular components A and the ratio of the amplitudes of these components, tan are related to the polarizer and analyzer angles p and a, respectively. The changes in A and when a film is present can be related in an implicit form to the complex index of refraction and thickness of the film. 

Brewster angle microscopy takes advantage of the reflectivity behavior of light at an interface. This method relies on the fact that light passing from a material of lower refractive index, no into a medium of higher index i will have...

For an air/glass interface, tan 0b = n, the refractive index of glass. In a gas laser, the light must be reflected back and forth between mirrors and through the gas container hundreds of times. Each time the beam passes through the cavity, it must pass through transparent windows at the ends of the gas container (Figure 18.10b), and it is clearly important that this transmission be as efficient as possible. 

The geometry of Fig. 10.3 leads to a result known as Snell s law, which relates the refractive index of the medium to the angles formed by two wave fronts with the interface. Defining 6q and 6, respectively, as the angles between the phase boundary and the wave front under vacuum and in the medium of refractive index n, show that Snell s law requires n = sin Oo/sind. 

Internal redection starts by consideration of an interface between two media, a denser transparent medium with refractive index n, and a rarer medium with a complex refractive index (= where is the absorption coefficient of the medium) as shown in Figure 23. If of the rarer... 

Attenuated total reflection, on which atr—ftir is based, occurs when the rarer medium is absorbing and is characterized by a complex refractive index (40). The absorbing characteristics of this medium allow coupling to the evanescent field such that this field is attenuated to an extent dependent on k. The critical angle in the case of attenuated total reflection loses its meaning, but internal reflection still occurs. Thus, if the internally reflected beam is monitored, its intensity will reflect the loss associated with the internal reflection process at the interface with an absorbing medium. 

Chloroacetyl chloride [79-04-9] (CICH2COCI) is the corresponding acid chloride of chloroacetic acid (see Acetyl chloride). Physical properties include mol wt 112.94, C2H2CI2O, mp —21.8 C, bp 106°C, vapor pressure 3.3 kPa (25 mm Hg) at 25°C, 12 kPa (90 mm Hg) at 50°C, and density 1.4202 g/mL and refractive index 1.4530, both at 20°C. Chloroacetyl chloride has a sharp, pungent, irritating odor. It is miscible with acetone and bensene and is initially insoluble in water. A slow reaction at the water—chloroactyl chloride interface, however, produces chloroacetic acid. When sufficient acid is formed to solubilize the two phases, a violent reaction forming chloroacetic acid and HCl occurs.
