Lateral scattering, calculating

Though Eq. (32) provides a rigorous quantum definition of the cumulative reaction probability, it is not helpful in a practical sense because a complete state-to-state reactive scattering calculation is required to obtain the S matrix. We seek a more direct (and thus presumably more efficient) route to N(E), but without approximation, to which approximations can be incorporated later as needed in specific applications. 

Specific impulse value may be approximately calculated if the pressure-time dependence is known, assuming that there is no lateral scattering of detonation products. Assuming that the expansion isentrope equation for the detonation products has the form (Eq. (4.50))... 

The quantum numbers u,j,m and n represent the QH vibration, the OH rotation, the H2O bend and a local OH stretch of H2O respectively. These degrees of freedom, and the relative translation, are explicitly treated in the scattering calculations by using the RBA. All other degrees of freedom are treated by an adiabatic approach, to be described later. 

The advantage of Raman spectromicroscopy is that very small specimens can be studied while still allowing the determination of the second and fourth moments of the ODF. However, the expressions for the Raman intensities are more complex since the optical effects induced by the microscope objective have to be considered. Although the corrections may be small, they are not necessarily negligible [59]. This problem was first treated by Turrell [59-61] and later by Sourisseau and coworkers [5]. Turrell has mathematically quantified the depolarization of the incident electric field in the focal plane of the objective and the collection efficiency of the scattered light by high numerical aperture objectives. For brevity, only the main results of the calculations will be presented. Readers interested in more details are referred to book chapters and reviews of Turrell or Sourisseau [5,59,61]. The intensity in Raman spectromicroscopy is given by [59-61]... 

Scattering of secondary electrons has been ignored in this calculation. Later, it was included by Chatterjee et al. (1973) on an approximate diffusional basis for electron energies below about 1600 eV However, the qualitative features of Figure 3.13 were retained. 

Fractal dimensions of synthetic goethite obtained by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) were in agreement with the values calculated using the equation of Avnir and Jaroniec (Weidler et al., 1995 a). Values of D, mentioned in later section have been obtained using this equation. 

Aerosol particles Table 3.13 shows the percentage change in the actinic flux calculated by Peterson (1976) and Demerjian et al. (1980) for two cases (1) a particle concentration of zero, corresponding to a very clean atmosphere, and (2) a total particle concentration doubled compared to the base case. The actinic flux is predicted to increase if the total particle concentration is zero and decrease if it doubles (note, however, as discussed later, the sensitivity to the vertical distribution of particles and the relative importance of light scattering compared to absorption). 

Ab initio and semiempirical molecular orbital (MO) model calculations have become an efficient way to predict chemical structures and vibrational (i.e., Raman scattering and IR emission) spectra. We and others have used such approaches to better understand certain features of fhe specfra, as explained in the following. The basic principles underlying ab initio model calculations have been described in many textbooks and papers (see for example Refs. 44,47,48). Applications in relation to ILs and similar systems have also been reported, as discussed later. 

The maximum amount of information about scattering by any particle or collection of particles is contained in all the elements of the 4x4 scattering matrix (3.16), which will be treated in more generality later in this chapter. Most measurements and calculations, however, are restricted to unpolarized or linearly polarized light incident on a collection of randomly oriented particles with an internal plane of symmetry (no optical activity, for example). In such instances, the relevant matrix elements are those in the upper left-hand 2x2 block of the scattering matrix, which has the symmetry shown below (see, e.g.,...
