Interlace

As a result, leather is made up of interlaced bundles of coUagen fibers (Fig. 1). A schematic model of coUagen bundles in leather is shown in Figure 2 (4). A coUagen bundle (about 80 )Tm in diameter) is made up of coUagen fibers (1—4 pm), composed of microfibrils (0.08—0.1 pm). Furthermore, a microfibril consists of many protofibrils (about 1.5 nm), which consist of several bundles of polypeptide chains. 

Case 1. M diffuses very slowly i oxide. Oxide grows at metal-oxide interlace. Examples Ti, Zr. U. 

If the interlace or depth of interest is beyond the capability of sputtering, one can try polishing down, sectioning, or chemical etching the sample before insertion. 

Not only do the new and old surfaces produce surface plasmons in the island-growth mode, but the interlace between the growing film and the substrate is also capable of producing an interphase plasmon excitation. Typically an interphase plasmon will appear at an energy intermediate between the surface plasmons of the two phases. Its intensity will grow as the island phase grows laterally but will eventually disappear as the interface retreats below the thickening island layer. 

A risk assessment analyses systems at two levels. The first level defines the functions the system must perform to respond successfully to an accident. The second level identifies the hardware for the systems use. The hardware identification (in the top event statement) describes minimum system operability and system boundaries (interfaces). Experience shows that the interfaces between a frontline system and its support systems are important to the system cs aluaiion and require a formal search to document the interactions. Such is facilitated by a failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA). Table S.4.4-2 is an example of an interaction FMEA for the interlace and support requirements for system operation. 

The porous materials that offer the narrowest possible pore size distribution are those that have cylindrical pores of uniform diameter penetrating the entire medium without branching. Branching gives polymer molecules in the junctions extra conformational entropy. An agglomerate of tiny pieces of these porous materials, interlaced with larger voids (much larger than the pore size), should also be chosen. 

In the very early stages of oxidation the oxide layer is discontinuous both kinetic and electron microscope" studies have shown that oxidation commences by the lateral extension of discrete oxide nuclei. It is only once these interlace that the direction of mass transport becomes of importance. In the majority of cases the metal then diffuses across the oxide layer in the form of cations and electrons (cationic diffusion), or as with the heavy metal oxides, oxygen may diffuse as ions with a flow of electrons in the reverse direction (anionic diffusion). The number of metals oxidising by both cationic and anionic diffusion is believed to be small, since a favourable energy of activation for one ion generally means an unfavourable value for the other... 

As stated above, the overall performance of the LED is strongly influenced by the nature of the interlace layer and also by its extension. Due to diffusion processes the electrode material can be extended far into the active layer. 

The boundary conditions are given by specifying the panicle currents at the boundaries. Holes can be injected into the polymer by thermionic emission and tunneling [32]. Holes in the polymer at the contact interface can also fall bach into the metal, a process usually called interlace recombination. Interface recombination is the time-reversed process of thermionic emission. At thermodynamic equilibrium the rates for these two time-reversed processes are the same by detailed balance. Thus, there are three current components to the hole current at a contact thermionic emission, a backflowing interface recombination current that is the time-reversed process of thermionic emission, and tunneling. Specifically, lake the contact at Jt=0 as the hole injecting contact and consider the hole current density at this contact.

Another way to measure the Vhi is by means of photovoltaic measurements [97, 113. The technique is based on the fact that, at near zero applied bias, the OLED acts as a photovoltaic cell, where photogencraled carriers drift under the influence of Vhi to produce a current in an external cireuit. In a way similar to electroabsorption, an external bias is applied in order to compensate the built-in potential and null the net pholocurrent (Fig. 13-6). However, it has been shown that the measurement produces accurate results only at low temperatures, where diffusive transport of charges that are phoiogcneraled at the interlaces is negligible [97]. 

The spectral dependence of the photoresponse of these bilayer heterojunction devices, illuminated from the 1TO side, is displayed in Figure 15-22. The onset of photocurrent at hv— 1.7 cV follows the absorption of the fullerene, indicating a symmetric hole transfer from the excited fullerene to the MEH-PPV. The minimum in the photocurrent at /iv=2.5 eV corresponds to the photon energy of maximum absorption of MEH-PPV. The MEH-PPV layer, therefore, acts as a filter, which reduces the number of photons reaching the MEH-PPV/C()0 interlace. Thus, the thickness of the MEH-PPV layer determines the anlibatic spectral be-... 

An approach for improving the response of conjugated polymcr/fullerene bilayer devices, which is based on an additional excitonic middle layer inserted into the D-A interface, was suggested by Yoshino el al. [94. In the middle layer light absorption produces electron-hole pairs, which migrate towards the interlace and...
