Intermediate correlation regime

Small to intermediate correlation regime The main results of our study could be summarized as follows. 

For short times, the correlation function (7(f) depends on the microscopic details of the dynamics as the system crosses from to 38. These motions take place on a molecular time scale rmoi essentially equal to the time required to move through the transition region. For times f larger than rmoi but still very small compared to the reaction time rrxn (if the crossing event is rare rrxn L> rmoi such that such an intermediate time regime exists), C(f) can be replaced by an approximation linear in time. Using the detailed balance condition k jk = h )/ h ) [33] one then obtains... 

S(q, co). As stated earlier, such a slow tail in F(q, t) can significantly increase the friction. In calculating the friction, the effect of the inhomogeneity on the static and dynamic correlations is to be considered only for intermediate and long wavenumbers. The small wavevector limit probes the collective dynamics of the solvent, and hence it is the average friction which contributes in this region. It is fair to assume that qa 1 separates small from intermediate wavenumber regime. 

For the intermediate flow regime, a correlation for CD has to be chosen. A correlation that covers much of the range of interest for fluidisation is due to Dallavalle 7... 

Refinements of the Kubo expression, to which we alluded above, involving nonexponential decay of the modulation correlation function have been made. These refinements (in particular that of Rothschild et al. ) would appiear to be limited to spiecific applications in view of actual experimental precision as in fact exponential decay describes rather well a large body of data in ordinary liquids. The presence of two or more modulation mechanisms—in the intermediate modulation regime—will be equally difficult to demonstrate experimentally. 

Although conceptually straightforward, it is challenging to extract correlation times from spectra in this motional regime because spectral analysis requires more than line width measurements as is done with motionally narrowed spectra. It is usually best to use simulation techniques in the intermediate motional regime, whereby one computes a spectrum given a particular correlation time (or pair of correlation times if the motion is anisotropic). The result is then compared to the experimental spectrum.

Fast rotation (i.e., faster than a typical rotational correlation time of Tc 10 ps) leads to the averaged spectrum. The isotropic g-value gjgo determines the center of the central line and spacing between the lines that is dominated by a- a- In the intermediate motion regime 100 ns > tc > 1 ns and the rigid limit is reached at Tj, 1 ps [19]. (b) Influence of the chemical environment on CW EPR spectra. As both, hydrophilic and polar environments lead to an increased electron spin density at the nitroxide nucleus (see gray inset), and hence the line splitting in the spectra in hydrophilic and polar surroundings is larger than in non-polar and hydrophobic environments...

This places polyacetylene and polydiacetylene on the correlated side of the intermediate-coupling regime. 

Inasmuch as the size of the kinetic unit is unknown, we chose to perform the DRIS calculations for chain segments of various size, ranging from 1 to 3 repeat units. The dipole-dipole correlation function C>(t), given by Eq. (7) in normalized form, has been obtained as a function of time for each case. Calculations reveal the occurrence of two distinct mechanisms of relaxation, with respective stretched exponents close to unity and 0.5, characteristic of the above described short and intermediate time regimes [84]. The results obtained for a kinetic unit of three monomers are illustrated by the filled circles in Fig. 13. The best fitting lines through the results yield the exponents = 0.97 and 0.34 as indicated. Moreover, a tendency to an enhancement of the exponent is distinguishable at... 

This form neglects the self-scattering term appropriate for the ktr— regime, but which is irrelevant in a continuum-of-sites description. Equation (3.1) very accurately describes the exact Gaussian continuum model. In particular, it exactly reproduces the )k = 0 value and the self-similar intermediate scaling regime, d> k) = 2 k(Ty for R k (r. In real space, this selfsimilar behavior corresponds to power law, or critical-like, correlations, a (r) acr". This is a polymeric effect associated with the ideal random... 

One attractive aspect of the soliton theory of charge transport is that the carriers (cations or anions) carry no spin, i,e, the conducting compositions do not contain unpaired electrons, ESR experiments on the doping of PA(49) show that in certain intermediate doping regimes the spin concentration is much lower than expected from the observed conductivity values this phenomenon is referred to as spinless conductivity. If the conduction involved a normal process of defect-induced hole or electron transport, there would be a direct correlation between ESR determined spin concentration and conductivity. The same conclusion of spinless conduction is obtained from ESR experiments on doped PPP(61) however the soliton theory is not applicable to the PPP system(25). In Section VII, we present an alternate transport mechanism based on bipolarons (dications or dianions) which is applicable to all conducting polymer systems(26),... 

Copious experimentation has confirmed the validity of the above limiting forms, and led to correlations for the intermediate flow regime in terms of the particle Reynolds number. A compact form, which for most practical purposes adequately represents all the data, is attributed to Dallavalle (1948) ... 

That the time correlation function is the same using the terminal velocity or the coarse velocity in the intermediate regime is consistent with Eqs (53) and (54). 

Beyond the intermediate regime, in the long time limit the correlation function vanishes, <2(x) —> 0. In this regime the second entropy is just the sum of the two first entropies, as is expected,... 

Previous correlations of the influence of z on terminal velocities (El, H4, Ml, SI, S6, T3, Ul) are limited to specific systems, fail to recognize the different regimes of fluid particles (see Chapter 2), or are difficult to apply. In the present section we consider both bubbles and drops, but confine our attention to those of intermediate size (see Chapter 7) where Eo < 40 and Re > 1. Only the data of Uno and Kintner (Ul), Strom and Kintner (S6) and Salami et ai (SI) are used since other workers either failed to use a range of column sizes for the same fluid-fluid systems, or it was impossible to obtain accurate values of the original data. This effectively limits the Reynolds number range to Re > 10 for the low M systems studied. 

The above discussion demonstrates that the activation barrier for the silane Si-H bond is relatively small compared to that for an alkane C-H bond. This is surprising in that one might have expected comparable energy barriers for activation of both the Si-H and C-H bonds based on the similar enthalpy of activation AH from macroscopic kinetic measurements (41-44). Clearly other mechanisms are at work to make up the energy barrier in the case of Si-H bond activation. To investigate if more intermediates are involved, which may provide an explanation for the reported apparent AH values, the reaction is followed extending into the nano- and microsecond regime. The experiments show that only the previously discussed ethyl-solvate appears on these time-resolved IR spectra. Its decay correlates very well with the product rise as displayed in Fig. 15.
