Line Positions

It is suggested though that even more precise sizing of cracks with complex cross-sections and unknown shapes could be achieved using the distribution of the leakage magnetic field along two lines positioned above the surface of the sample and parallel to the direction of the applied field at the same distance from the centre of the crack and from its closer end. 

As discussed above, the spectrum must be assigned, i.e. the quantum numbers of the upper and lower levels of the spectral lines must be available. In addition to the line positions, intensity infomiation is also required. 

The H + NO2 OH + NO reaetion provides an exeellent example of the use of laser fluoreseenee deteetion for the elueidation of the dynamies of a ehemieal reaetion. This reaetion is a prototype example of a radieal-radieal reaetion in that the reagents and produets are all open-shell free radieal speeies. Both the hydroxyl and nitrie oxide produets ean be eonveniently deteeted by eleetronie exeitation in the UV at wavelengths near 226 and 308 mn, respeetively. Atlases of rotational line positions for the lowest eleetronie band systems of these... 

If a spectrum lacks certain Lines or contains extra lines from additional unknown components, or if the true line positions are blurred, fuzzy set theory can improve the matching. 

According to van deer Veen (27) and Rao and Foster (17 the anomeric proton line positions for a-D-glycopyranosides (H equatorial) appear in the region of 4.8 to 5.5 p.p.m., while for / -D-glycopyranosides (Hi axial), the peaks appear at 4.4 to 4.6 p.p.m. The chemical shift of the anomeric proton of methylkasugaminide (5) is located at 4.57 p.p.m. and thus the proton must be axial, excluding structure 8b and 8c in which the anomeric proton is equatorial. Structure 8a is thus completely in agreement with the NMR spectra. 

Spectral changes on adsorption are of three types appearance of inactive fundamentals (often coincident with infrared absorptions—see Table IX), shifts in Raman line positions for active vibrations, changes in relative peak intensities, and changes in half-bandwidths. The first three types of change have been reported for centrosymmetric adsorbates. 

For other centrosymmetric adsorbates such as C02 on zeolites X and Y (1) and ethene on porous Vycor glass (3), only marginal changes in line position were observed. 

Cahbration spectra must be measured at defined temperamres (ambient temperature for a-iron) because of the influence of second-order Doppler shift (see Sect. 4.2.1) for the standard absorber. After folding, the experimental spectrum should be simulated with Lorentzian lines to obtain the exact line positions in units of channel numbers which for calibration can be related to the hteramre values of the hyperfine splitting. As shown in Fig. 3.4, the velocity increment per channel, Ostep, is then obtained from the equation Ustep = D,(mm s )/D,(channel numbers). Different...

An instructive description of the first-order perturbation treatment of the quadrupole interaction in Ni has been given by Travis and Spijkerman [3]. These authors also show in graphical form the quadrupole-spectrum line positions and the quadrupole-spectrum as a function of the asymmetry parameter r/ they give eigenvector coefficients and show the orientation dependence of the quadrupole-spectrum line intensities for a single crystal of a Ni compound. The reader is also referred to the article by Dunlap [15] about electric quadrupole interaction, in general. 

Equation (2.3) describes line positions correctly for spectra with small hyperfine coupling to two or more nuclei provided that the nuclei are not magnetically equivalent. When two or more nuclei are completely equivalent, i.e., both instantaneously equivalent and equivalent over a time average, then the nuclear spins should be described in terms of the total nuclear spin quantum numbers I and mT rather than the individual /, and mn. In this coupled representation , the degeneracies of some multiplet lines are lifted when second-order shifts are included. This can lead to extra lines and/or asymmetric line shapes. The effect was first observed in the spectrum of the methyl radical, CH3, produced by... 

Once a hyperfine pattern has been recognized, the line position information can be summarized by the spin Hamiltonian parameters, g and at. These parameters can be extracted from spectra by a linear least-squares fit of experimental line positions to eqn (2.3). However, for high-spin nuclei and/or large couplings, one soon finds that the lines are not evenly spaced as predicted by eqn (2.3) and second-order corrections must be made. Solving the spin Hamiltonian, eqn (2.1), to second order in perturbation theory, eqn (2.3) becomes 4... 

A) Check to see if the spectrum is symmetric in line positions and relative intensities. If it is not, then most likely there are two or more radical species. Variation of line widths with / , may, in principle, cause the spectrum to appear unsymmetric, but in such a case line positions would still be at least approximately symmetrically distributed about the center. 

A) Measure the positions and amplitudes of all the lines in the spectrum and list them in order in a table (a spreadsheet program is convenient for this purpose). A well-defined measure of position in a complex spectrum is the x-axis point halfway between the maximum and minimum of the first-derivative line. The amplitude is the difference in height between the maximum and minimum. If convenient, measure the line positions in gauss if this is inconvenient, use arbitrary units such as inches, centimeters, or recorder chart boxes measured from an arbitrary zero. In your table, also provide headings for the quantum numbers (m1 m2, etc.) for each of the line positions, for the coupling constants (a, a2, etc.), and for the theoretical intensity (degeneracy) of each peak. 

Our analysis thus far has assumed that solution of the spin Hamiltonian to first order in perturbation theory will suffice. This is often adequate, especially for spectra of organic radicals, but when coupling constants are large (greater than about 20 gauss) or when line widths are small (so that line positions can be very accurately measured) second-order effects become important. As we see from...
