Field local

If we consider the optical response of a molecular monolayer of increasing surface density, the fomi of equation B 1.5.43 is justified in the limit of relatively low density where local-field interactions between the adsorbed species may be neglected. It is difficult to produce any rule for the range of validity of this approximation, as it depends strongly on the system under study, as well as on the desired level of accuracy for the measurement. The relevant corrections, which may be viewed as analogous to the Clausius-Mossotti corrections in linear optics, have been the... 

Here the ijk coordinate system represents the laboratory reference frame the primed coordinate system i j k corresponds to coordinates in the molecular system. The quantities Tj, are the matrices describing the coordinate transfomiation between the molecular and laboratory systems. In this relationship, we have neglected local-field effects and expressed the in a fomi equivalent to simnning the molecular response over all the molecules in a unit surface area (with surface density N. (For simplicity, we have omitted any contribution to not attributable to the dipolar response of the molecules. In many cases, however, it is important to measure and account for the background nonlinear response not arising from the dipolar contributions from the molecules of interest.) In equation B 1.5.44, we allow for a distribution of molecular orientations and have denoted by () the corresponding ensemble average ...

Next we consider the net field at the molecule. This turns out to be the sum of two effects the macroscopic field given by Eq. (10.12) plus a local field that is associated with the charge on the surface of the cavity surrounding the molecule of interest. The latter may be shown to equal (l/3)(aj j/eo). Hence the net field at the molecule is... 

The internal field is that microwave field which is generally the object for solution when MaxweU s equations are appUed to an object of arbitrary geometry and placed in a certain electromagnetic environment. The is to be distinguished from the local field seen by a single molecule which is not necessarily the same (22). The dielectric permittivity as a function of frequency can be described by theoretical models (23) and measured by weU-developed techniques for uniform (homogeneous) materials (24). 

For condensed species, additional broadening mechanisms from local field inhomogeneities come into play. Short-range intermolecular interactions, including solute-solvent effects in solutions, and matrix, lattice, and phonon effects in soHds, can broaden molecular transitions significantly. 

Electric field measurement at the boundary of a metal container filled with charged material. Examples include pipelines and storage vessels. The electric field can be used to calculate charge density (3-5.1). Eield meters can also be lowered into containers such as silos to determine the local fields and polarities. Quantitative interpretation of the reading requires correction for field intensification and is sometimes accomplished using computer simulations.

In condensed phases, the separation between molecules is of the order of the molecular dimensions and the result is that each molecule is polarized not by just the ordinary applied electric field E but by a local field F consisting of E plus the fields of all the other dipoles. Once the local field is known, we can use equation 15.8 to find the polarization, simply by substituting aF for aE. The calculation of F is difficult because the dipoles that contribute to F are themselves determined by F and a self-consistent treatment is necessary. This is achieved by relating F to P, ultimately giving an equation for Xe-... 

Ip = hG/c y is the Planck length. Since c6t < 6x, A and B are outside of each other s light cone and local field theory assures us that these two experiments can be performed completely independently of one another. Heisenberg s uncertainty principle, however, asserts that these two measurements will also yield an energy fluctuation on the order of AE > Ip. We know that the gravitational... 

We consider first the polarizability of a molecule consisting of two or more polarizable parts which may be atoms, bonds, or other units. When the molecule is placed in an electric field the effective field which induces dipole moments in various parts is not just the external field but rather the local field which is influenced by the induced dipoles of the other parts. The classical theory of this interaction of polarizable units was presented by Silberstein36 and others and is summarized by Stuart in his monograph.40 The writer has examined the problem in quantum theory and finds that the same results are obtained to the order of approximation being considered. 

The double layer is described by its effective thickness, d, and by its field strength E (Fig. 6.15). The adsorbed moleculeJias a dipole moment P. It is well documented100 that the local field strength E can affect strongly not only the chemisorptive bond strength but also the preferred orientation of the adsorbate (Fig. 6.16).
