Lattice theories cell theory

Cell or lattice models. Cell theories of liquids, such as the Lennard-Jones-Devonshire theory [177] have been applied to adsorption phenomena. For example, cell models including lateral interactions [178] permit the interpretation of experimental isosteric heats in multilayer adsorption [179,180]. 

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.

According to Hill (8), due to the small correction for excess entropy Ase, "the approximation of random mixing can appropriately be introduced, for molecules of like size, in lattice or cell solution theories that are otherwise fairly sophisticated."... 

Finally, one word about the lattice theories of microemulsions [30 36]. In these models the space is divided into cells in which either water or oil can be found. This reduces the problepi to a kind of lattice gas, for which there is a rich literature in statistical mechanics that could be extended to microemulsions. A predictive treatment of both droplet and bicontinuous microemulsions was developed recently by Nagarajan and Ruckenstein [37], which, in contrast to the previous theoretical approaches, takes into account the molecular structures of the surfactant, cosurfactant, and hydrocarbon molecules. The treatment is similar to that employed by Nagarajan and Ruckenstein for solubilization [38]. 

The simple CSL model is directly applicable to the cubic crystal class. The lower symmetry of the other crystal classes necessitates the more sophisticated formalism known as the constrained coincidence site lattice, or CCSL (Chen and King, 1988). In this book we treat only cubic systems. Interestingly, whenever an even value is obtained for E in a cubic system, it will always be found that an additional lattice point lies in the center of the CSL unit cell. The true area ratio is then half the apparent value. This operation can always be applied in succession until an odd value is obtained thus, E is always odd in the cubic system. A rigorous mathematical proof of this would require that we invoke what is known as O-lattice theory (Bollman, 1967). The O-lattice takes into account all equivalence points between two neighboring crystal lattices. It includes as a subset not only coinciding lattice points (the CSL) but also all nonlattice sites of identical internal coordinates. However, expanding on that topic would take us well beyond the scope of this book. The interested reader is referred to Bhadeshia (1987) or Bollman (1970). 

The calculations have been carried out for a series of systems characterized by different size of adsorbed atoms (relative to the size of the surface lattice unit cell) and assuming different values of the parameter VJ, ranging from zero to unity. In the case of H = 0, one expects that at sufficiently low temperatures the properties of such systems should be essentially the same as the properties of strictly two-dimensional uniform systems. The behaviour of two-dimensional Lennard-Jones systems has been intensively studied [164 169] with the help of computer simulation methods and density functional theory.

Other workers (19-20) have interpreted these differences in the NMR spectra and other data in alternative ways. They believe that celluloses I and II have the same skeletal conformation but are packed in different lattices. In this theory, the differences within the cellulose I family are derived from the size of the unit cells. Valonia contains a larger 8 chain unit cell, whereas ramie contains a mixture of the 8 chain unit cell and the smaller Meyer and Misch unit cell. Therefore the interpretation of the NMR spectra remains controversial. 

The free-volume concept dates back to the Clausius [1880] equation of state. The need for postulating the presence of occupied and free space in a material has been imposed by the fluid behavior. Only recently has positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS see Chapters 10 to 12) provided direct evidence of free-volume presence. Chapter 6 traces the evolution of equations of state up to derivation of the configurational hole-cell theory [Simha and Somcynsky, 1969 Somcynsky and Simha, 1971], in which the lattice hole fraction, h, a measure of the free-volume content, is given explicitly. Extracted from the pressure-volume-temperature PVT) data, the dependence, h = h T, P), has been used successfully for the interpretation of a plethora of physical phenomena under thermodynamic equilibria as well as in nonequilibrium dynamic systems.

As already emphasized, theoretical development in the area of aqueous binary mixtures has been comparatively slow and to date no satisfactory molecular theory exists that can describe the complex physical chemistiy of a binaiy solution. The reason is the complexity of the intermolecular potential. While binary mixtures have often been studied by using a cell or lattice theory (as we discussed in the description of a polymer solution in the Hydrophobic effects chapter), even such a description is hard here because of the amphiphilic nature of the solute. It is really hard to develop a quantitative theory that includes the two different types of local heterogeneity at two sides of a given solute molecule. 

Let us consider the conformation of a single chain in the special case of a disordered state with no vacancy. Fixing Ao=0, Ai = 1 in the theory developed above, the number Wh (n) of paths that visit all lattice points (cells) without overlap, referred to as Hamiltonian path, is found [21]. Within the theoretical framework (2.146) described in the preceding sections, the entropy of Hamiltonian paths is estimated by... 

Nine different equations-of-state, EOS theories are described including Flory Orwoll Vrij (FOV) Prigogine Square Well cell model, and the Sanchez Lacombe free volume theory. When the mathematical complexity of the EOS theories increases it is prudent to watch for spurious results such as negative pressure and negative volume expansivity. Although mathematically correct these have little physical meaning in polymer science. The large molecule effects are explicitly accounted for by the lattice fluid EOS theories. The current textbooks on thermodynamics discuss... 

The decisive advantage of the original Elory-Huggins theory [1] lies in its simplicity and in its ability to reproduce some central features of polymer-containing mixtures qualitatively, in spite of several unrealistic assumptions. The main drawbacks are in the incapacity of this approach to model reality in a quantitative manner and in the lack of theoretical explanations for some well-established experimental observations. Numerous attempts have therefore been made to extend and to modify the Elory-Huggins theory. Some of the more widely used approaches are the different varieties of the lattice fluid and hole theories [2], the mean field lattice gas model [3], the Sanchez-Lacombe theory [4], the cell theory [5], different perturbation theories [6], the statistical-associating-fluid-theory [7] (SAET), the perturbed-hard-sphere chain theory [8], the UNIEAC model [9], and the UNIQUAC [10] model. More comprehensive reviews of the past achievements in this area and of the applicability of the different approaches are presented in the literature [11, 12]. 

Helfand [202, 208] suggested that Roe s work contained a number of assumptions, which made it difficult to appraise the applicability of the theory. Helfand suggested that Roe s lattice theory did not treat the conformational entropy properly by assuming that the chances of going from a cell site to any empty neighboring cell... 

Nitta et. al. ( 7) extended the group interaction model to thermodynamic properties of pure polar and non-polar liquids and their solutions, including energy of vaporization, pvT relations, excess properties and activity coefficients. The model is based on the cell theory with a cell partition function derived from the Carnahan-Starling equation of state for hard spheres. The lattice energy is made up of group interaction contributions. 

The main problem with implementing the cell theory is that it derives the hydrate pressures in terms of quantities that are not well known. In particular, the intermolecular potentials needed to define the cavity potential are not precisely known, and depends on the property of a state that has never been observed (Le, the empty hydrate lattice). Inevitably, this means that a considerable amount of empirical parameterisation is required to implement the theory. 

On the whole, the cell theory has proved to be successful. This is particularly true of simple hydrates, for which the calculated hydrate pressures show no significant deviations from experimental values. This might not seem surprising since there are at least 11 empirical parameters that can be chosen to make the theory work however, eight of those parameters describe the water lattice and so should be common to all hydrates with the same structure. One way to test this transferability is to calculate properties of the empty lattice based on parameters derived from different hydrates, and again the cell theory performs well for simple hydrates. For example, calculated vapour pressures for the hypothetical empty hydrate based on CH4, C2H6, and H2S type...
