Measurement of line position

After the line positions are measured, their 0 values are calculated from the appropriate equation for the camera involved. But if no great precision is needed, both of these steps can be avoided in routine work by making a cardboard scale marked with 6 values this scale is placed next to the film and the 9 value of each line read off. A separate scale will be needed for each size and type of camera.

Measurement of line positions in NMR spectra according to equation 18 requires use of a reference line. Experimentally, this means that a reference compound giving a sharp line(s) separate from sample resonances must be included in the NMR tube. For example, sodium 4,4-dimethyl-4-silapentane (DSS) is useful for many H-NMR... 

As detemiined by TEM (figure 3), fresh catalysts present very small noble metals particles size, and an important X-ray line broadening which precludes precise measurement of line positions. It thus appears delicate to detennine whether alloying pre-exists or is directly related to the present treatments. 

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. 

The determination of crystal structure in synthetic polymers is often made difficult by the lack of resolution in the diffraction data. The diffuseness of the reflections observed in most x-ray fiber patterns results from the small size and imperfect lattice nature of the polymer crystallites. Resolution of individual reflections is also made difficult from misorientation of the crystallites about the fiber axis. This lack of resolution leads to poor accuracy in measurement of peak positions. In particular, this lack of accuracy makes determination of layer line heights difficult with a corresponding loss of significant figures in evaluation of the repeat distance for the molecular conformation. In the case of helical conformations, the repeat distance may be of considerable length or, as we shall show, indeterminate and, in effect, nonperiodic. This evaluation requires high accuracy in measurements of layer line heights. 

Single-crystal EPR and NMR measurements involve spectral measurement at fixed orientations relative to the applied magnetic field B, and rotating the crystal (about some selected axis by set angles) between such measurements. Then road maps can be constructed of line positions (or intensities) versus the positional... 

As discussed above, the parameter matrices are usually measured using line-position data from rotations of B in three orthogonal planes. However, with various crystal symmetries, it is possible to attain the same goal using multiple-site data obtained from B rotated in a single plane.12 This can be very useful. 

Measurement of the position and intensity of the lines on the X-ray photographs can be analysed to give the relative positions of atoms in a crystalline solid from which its structure may be deduced. 

As such, P(x) is not directly observable. What can be measured are various reduced distributions such as the distribution of line intensities irrespective of line positions. It... 

The disadvantage of film detection is that the plate must be developed and the lines identified to obtain the mass spectrum. Also, intensity data suffer in accuracy (at best, ion abundances can be measured to 10% relative error). Identification of line position and intensity is done with a microdensitometer (as in x-ray crystallography or emission spectroscopy) high-resolution measurements can be made in this manner. The densitometer is usually interfaced to a computer. 

It can be concluded that, if layer lines or appropriate meridional spots occur, the c-axis repeat distance c or i/ooi can be determined by the use of equation (4.1) or equation (4.2). If the c-axis is normal to the ab plane, c = fi ooi The other dimensions and the angles of the unit cell can also be determined from measurements of spot positions only. If the unit cell is orthorhombic, i.e. if a = = y = 90°, the determination is straight-... 

Advanced EMR methods may be used to conduct quantitative measurements of nuclear hyperfine interaction energies, and these data, in turn, may be used as a tool in molecular design because of their direct relation to the frontier orbitals. The Zeeman field dependence of hyperfine spectra enables one to greatly improve the quantitative analysis of hyperfine interaction and assign numeric values to the parametric terms of the spin Hamiltonian. Graphical methods of analysis have been demonstrated that reduce the associated error that comes from a multi-parameter fit of simulations based on an assumed model. The narrow lines inherent to ENDOR and ESEEM enable precise measures of peak position and high-resolution hyperfine analyses on even powder sample materials. In particular, ESEEM can be used to obtain very narrow lines that are distributed at very nearly the zero-field NQI transition frequencies because of a quantum beating process that is associated with... 

We measure Raman line positions in much the same way as we measure atomic line positions but omit the apodization step. To interpolate additional data points between those actually measured, we stretch the Raman line by zero-filling. The result of an eightfold stretch of the 802-cm" line is shown in Fig. 6C. A polynomial is fitted to the tip of the line. Finally, the location of the maximum of the polynomial function is found and mapped to the original dataset. 

But in both notations, the values of these parameters are obtained by fitting the same formula to the measured spectral line positions. Therefore both types of constants are the same and only disagree by the signs which were originally defined for the series B, a, . The following relations are given as examples ... 

For each grating position at least two lines of the Ne lamp could be focused on the detector simultaneously. In this way, after the initial grating drive running with an accuracy of about 2 arcmin, the wavelength calibration routine simply compares the expected to the measured neon line positions and, when required, initiates a final adjustment by successive grating rotation. At the end of the calibration routine the absorption line of interest is fixed with an absolute accuracy of a few percent of a pixel corresponding to about 0.5 arcsec and the spread of the continuum background spectrum is perfectly adapted to the detector dimension.
