Lattice density

S. Chains in the S phase are also oriented normal to the surface, yet the unit cell is rectangular possibly because of restricted rotation. This structure is characterized as the smectic E or herringbone phase. Schofield and Rice [204] applied a lattice density functional theory to describe the second-order rotator (LS)-heiTingbone (S) phase transition.

Solid curve - computer simulations, broken line - the superposition approximation, dotted line - linear approximation. Time is in units r (waiting time in a site).

In the small-r region the kinetic equations should be tested using small lattice densities which demonstrates their correctness.

Each sequential reaction took place at a slightly higher equilibrium oxidation potential and resulted in a shrinking of the solid lattice (densities chalcocite, 5.6 covellite, 4.6 rhombic sulfur, 2.07 g cm" ) (Weast, 1974). The cathodic reactions were ... 

Earlier than all of this Holstein (10) described his optic polaron, in which the deformation of the ID chain is an optic deformation. His was the first polaron solution which was a Solitary Wave or Soliton. In such a deformation there is no change in lattice density in the polaron there is only a rearrangement of atoms without a change of density. In the case of the optic polaron there is no analytical solution for the moving polaron. However it is clear that on increase of the optic polaron energy due to motion there is no perturbation as the velocity goes through the sound velocity. In the pure optic polaron the sound velocity is not in the model at the outset. It is in the motion of the polaron at velocities up to the sound velocity that the profound difference between the acoustic and optic polarons occurs the difference in properties of the polarons at rest is leas Important. 

The assumption of homogeneity can be abandoned if the continuous me m-field treatment is replaced by a discrete treatment where the positions of fluid molecules are restricted to nodes on a lattice. The discussion in Section 5.4.2 and 5.6.5 showed that the mean-field lattice density functional theory developed in Section 4.3 w as crucial in unraveling the c.om-plex phase behavior of fluids confined by chemically decorated substrate surfaces. A similar deep understanding of the phase behavior would not have been possible on the basis of simulation results alone. Nevertheless, the relation between these MC data and the lattice density functional results remained only qualitative on accoimt of the continuous models employed in the computer simulations. Thus, we aim at a more quantitative comparison between MC simulations and mean-field lattice density fimctioiial theory in the closing. section of this diaptcr. 

Again we limit the discussion of simulation tediniques in Chapter 6 to the Monte Carlo method as a key numerical technique to stay focused as much as possible. Molecular dynamics simulations, which are the other simulation technique one would immediately think of, are explicitly disregarded here because they are more suitable to study dynamic rather than equilibrium properties with which we are coucerued here. In a similar spirit, off-lattice density functional theory is also disregarded here because this is already a vast and flourishing field in its own right to which a separate such text should be devoted.

The surface energy and the rate of growth of a face, however, should be inversely proportional to the reticular or lattice density of the respective lattice plane, so that faces having low reticular densities would grow rapidly and eventually disappear. In other words, high index faces grow faster than low. 

Going back to solid or liquid crystals we can say that the convolution procedure distributes molecular density over the sites of the crystal lattice. On the left side of Fig. 5.14, the two functions, the electron density of a molecule pmoi(r) and discrete points of the lattice density piattice(r) =28(ri Fj) are shown separately (before convolution). On the right side we see the result of their convolution. Note that the convolution operation/i(x) /2(x) is dramatically different from the multiplication operation/i(x)/2(x). An example is illustrated by Fig. 5.15, in which function/2(x) is the same piattice(r) function as in the previous picture and/i(x) is the so called box-function. The latter is equal to 1 within its contour and 0 outside. The multiplication selects only few 8-functions from the whole lattice. On the contrary, the convolution translates pmoi into new functional space, namely the space of piattice-... 

Unmoderated lattices with a density of 0.06 would require 146 5 units for criticality, while those with a density of 0.023 would require 250 a 30 units. In lattices in which the fissile units are separated by 1 in. of Plexiglas approximately 27 units would be required for a critical array with a lattice density of 0.06 and about 75 units for a density of 0.023. Distributing Foamglas (containing 2% boron) throughout a moderated array increased the critical number of fissile units by a factor of 6, while Styrofoam had a small effect. 

If the number of fissile units required for high subcrltical multiplications in a specific lattice type is known as a function of the lattice density, and if a good estimate of the critical number of fissile units for one lattice density Is available, the critical number of fissile units for other densities of that lattice type may be predicted. The number of fissile units required to produce a given inverse multiplication for the unmoderated and moderated arrays as a function of lattice density Is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. (See figures on next page).
