Light deposits

Figure 5.45 shows a Pt electrode (light) deposited on YSZ (dark). There are three circular areas of bare YSZ connected via very narrow bare YSZ channels. The rest of the surface is Pt. Note that, as will be discussed in Chapter 7, the Fermi levels of the Pt film and of the YSZ solid electrolyte in the vicinity of the Pt film are equal. The YSZ, however, appears in the PEEM images much darker than the Pt film since YSZ has a negligible density of states at its Fermi level in comparison to a metal like Pt. 

NOTE A white scum of calcium sulfite may occur on films processed in high-sulfite, low-alkalinity developers. This scum is soluble in acid stop baths and in fresh acid fixing baths, especially if the film is well agitated. It is slowly soluble in water and may also be wiped or sponged off wet film, although light deposits may not be noticed until the film is dry. Kodak SB-5 Non-swelling Acid Rinse Bath is recommended for its removal. 

Cleaning techniques may range from a simple dusting with a soft brush, to careful removal of light deposits with aid of a scalpel, or in some instances using spit on a cotton swap to effectively remove the deposit, with the enzymes in the spit providing a cleaning action. For harder deposits, microabrasive techniques can be used, or, in some cases, poultices may be applied. 

Acid and calcium bentonites are easy to disperse without forming lumps. Suspensions settle rapidly, leaving the liquid turbid but with a relatively light deposit. Protein adsorption is limited.

CH2 CCl2- Colourless liquid, b.p. 32°C, manufactured by the dehydrochlorination of trichloroethane. In the presence of light and air, it decomposes with the evolution of HCI, phosgene, and methanal and deposition of some polyvinylidene chloride. Consequently it must be stored away from light and in the presence of dissolved inhibitors (such as phenols and amines). Under the influence of... 

SWS are useful to obtain direct indications of hydrocarbons (under UV light) and to differentiate between oil and gas. The technique is applied extensively to sample microfossils and pollen for stratigraphic analysis (age dating, correlation, depositional environment). Qualitative inspection of porosity is possible, but very often the sampling process results in a severe crushing of the sample thus obscuring the true porosity and permeability. 

We are now in a position to calculate the reflections from multiple mterfaces using the simple example of a thin film of material of thickness d with refractive index n.2 sandwiched between a material of refractive index (where this is generally air witii n = ) deposited onto a substrate of refractive index [35, 36], This is depicted in figure Bl.26.9. The resulting reflectivities for p- and s-polarized light respectively are given by ... 

This also illustrates the use of different wavelengths of light to obtain much more infomration on the nature of the film. Here A and T are plotted versus the wavelength of light ( ) and the line drawn tln-ough these data represents a fit calculated for the various fihns of yttrium oxide deposited on silica as shown at tire bottom of the figure [40],... 

Polymerization of compounds perfonned with UV light was first reported in the 1970s [86] and was followed by further studies [87, 88 and 89]. Another study was concerned with the deposition and polymerization of multilayers of alcohols and acids incoiyDorating the diene group, -CH=CH-CH=CH-, at the hydrophilic end of the molecule [90]. 

Unwanted stmctures in the film plane—often found within LB films fonned from simple rodlike molecules or from molecules polymerized after deposition—can be problematic, since many possible applications of such films require a unifonn stmcture within the plane. On the other hand, however, the production of a system in which the stmcture within the plane is so disordered that there exist no stmctural features large enough to cause problems would also render applications possible. In tliree-dimensional materials, for example, both inorganic glasses and many polymers are capable of transmitting light without any appreciable scattering for substantial distances. 

Numerous teclmiques have been developed for depositing films from vapours, ranging from straightforward evaporation to advanced chemical transport in which reactions are activated by heat, light or plasma. These have been surveyed in two comprehensive reviews [8, 9] and two popular interdisciplinary textbooks [K), H]. The tliree most widely used chemically based teclmiques are ... 

All the silver halides are sensitive to light, decomposing eventually to silver. In sunlight, silver chloride turns first violet and finally black. The use of these compounds in photography depends on this (see below). (All silver salts are, in fact, photosensitive—the neck of a silver nitrate bottle is black owing to a deposit of silver.)... 

The product, commonly called calomel, is a white solid, insoluble in water in its reactions (as expected) it shows a tendency to produce mercury(II) and mercury. Thus under the action of light, the substance darkens because mercury is formed addition of aqueous ammonia produces the substance HjN—Hg—Hg—Cl, but this also darkens on standing, giving HjN—Hg—Cl and a black deposit of mercury.
