Because the mass sensitivity of the QCM is a function of radial distance, being highest in the center (Fig. 4.5b), the lateral particle distribution also affects the magnitude of the response. The stickiness of the crystal can be enhanced either chemically or electrostatically. Figure 4.7 shows the schematic of a QCM-based instrument for detection of aerosols in which the crystal is one of the electrodes to which a DC voltage is applied. In order to chemically increase adhesion, coatings of polysiloxanes or silicone grease have been used. 

The change in the sign of the order parameter at the surface has been observed (for ferroelectricty) by using a model of imaging developed for the detection of static surface charge (Saurenbach and Terris 1990). For ferroelastics, this corresponds to the profile of the lateral reactive force. The SFM non-contract dynamic mode images (Lithi et al 1993) would correspond to the distribution of the normal reactive force. The divergence of the lateral force distribution away from the centre of the wall can be attributed to the simulated infinite extension of the lattice. In the simulated array, the lateral component of the force reached a finite value between two adjacent domain walls. 

It should be noted that as in absorption, first-order distribution represents linear kinetics, as the net rate of distribution is a linear function of the amount of drug remaining in compartment 1 (Ai) and the amount of drug remaining in compartment 2( 2). Also as in the absorption case, a half-life of distrihution tvz,dist) be defined in terms of the distrihution rate constants. However, because distribution occurs in more than one direction, and due to other model complications that will be explained later, the distribution half-life cannot be written as a simple function of ki2 and 1. It turns out that the distribution half-life is defined in terms of a hybrid rate constant (/Ij) by the equation... 

Some oriented polymers only exhibit sharp X-ray diffractions at the equator. In such cases, the macromolecules must be packed in two-dimensional lateral order. However, the monomeric units in each polymer chain are randomly arranged, because of either a random displacement of polymer chains with respect to their neighbors, or a random distribution of monomeric units within each chain or because of irregular chain structure with respect to tacticity. Poly(acrylonitrile) is an example of the last case, and poly(ethylene-/7-carboxyphenoxyundecanoate) is an example of the first case. 

This example seems to be representative of a general result When a given quantity is expressed in terms of GMDF s, it requires in general a lower-order distribution function compared with the corresponding expression in terms of ordinary MDF s. We shall encounter other examples later. It should be realized that although the GMDF s may seem to be more complex than ordinary MDF s, this does not necessarily imply that their computation, either analytically or numerically, should be more difficult. 

In the lateral radial distribution function, there is clear long-range ordering of the solid bilayer (/7=1.0nm) in both the cation-anion and anion-anion distributions. In the new solid bilayer, each cation is surrounded by the three nearest-neighbor anions, and each anion is encircled by the three nearest-neighbor cations. It is obvious that the bilayer solid has a different number of nearest neighbors than the monolayer solid, constituting a new solid phase for [Dmim][Cl]. 

NNs over the entire range of film compositions investigated. This preference is partially reversed for a distance of 2 NN, where a small local maximum is visible for the surface with 25% Pd, indicating a preference for Pd atoms separated by 2 NN units, as they are present in the (2 x 2) structure on the (111) plane of ordered CujPd bulk alloys. In an SRO analysis, such a (2 x 2) structure would generate values of a(2) = l and 0 (r) = —1/3 for r 2. In the STM-based data, however, the variations of a(r) are much less enhanced, and for r>2, they lie within the margins of the statistical uncertainty. Even prolonged anneahng at lower T was shown to not yield any periodic superstmcture [57]. Chapter 11 will include a thermodynamic description of the lateral atom distribution, and it wiU show why ordered structures are experimentally inaccessible to most surface alloys. 

The adhesive-coated veneers are then stacked in the correct order (thickness and number of pHes) to make the desired product and sent to a cold press. The pressure appHed by the cold press assures uniform adhesive distribution across the pHes and fliU adhesion later. From the cold press the assembly is moved to a hot press. The hot presses have up to 50 openings between steam heated plates. Depending on the thickness of the plywood being manufactured, one or more (up to three) layers of uncured plywood assembHes are loaded into each opening. The press is closed and pressure of 1.2—1.38 MPa (175—200 psi) and temperatures of 110—166°C are appHed for the period of time needed to cure the adhesive. The cured plywood panels are removed... 

SIMS has superb surface sensitivity since most of the secondary ions originate within a few nanometers of the surface and since high detection efficiency enables as little as 10 " of a monolayer to be detected for most elements. Because of its very high surface sensitivity, SIMS can be used to obtain depth profiles with exceptionally high depth resolution (<5 nm). Since the beam of primary ions can be focused to a small spot, SIMS can be used to characterize the surface of a sample with lateral resolution that is on the order of micrometers. Elements with low atomic numbers, such as H and He, can be detected, isotope analysis can be conducted, and images showing the distribution of chemical species across...
