Microwave 244 INDEX

It should be noted that Ve7 is equivalent to the well known optical index of refraction n. This value can thus be thought of as the microwave index of refraction in future discussion. 

The electrical signal propagates partly in air. This reduces the effective microwave index and brings it closer to the optical index. 

The physical data index summarizes the quantitative data given for specific compounds in the text, tables and figures in Volumes 1-7. It does not give any actual data but includes references both to the appropriate text page and to the original literature. The structural and spectroscopic methods covered include UV, IR, Raman, microwave, MS, PES, NMR, ORD, CD, X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction, together with such quantities as dipole moment, pX a, rate constant and activation energy, and equilibrium constant. 

This volume contains six chapters and a cumulative index for numbers 1-33. The topics covered include the potential of zero charge nonequilibrium fluctuation in the corrosion process conducting polymers, electrochemistry, and biomimicking processes microwave (photo)-electrochemistry improvements in fluorine generation and electronically conducting polymer films.

A similar deposition system uses a plasma which is produced by a traveling microwave cavity. No other source of heat is required. The deposition system is shown schematically in Fig. 16.12. The reactants are the same as in the thermal CVD process. Pressure is maintained at approximately 1 Torr. In this case, the deposition occurs at lower temperature, no soot is formed and a compact glass is produced directly. A main advantage of this method is the more accurate grading of the refractive index of the cladding material. 

Inside" processes—such as modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) and plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD)—deposit doped silica on the interior surface of a fused silica tube. In MCVD, the oxidation of the halide reactants is initiated by a flame that heats the outside of the tube (Figure 4.8). In PCVD, the reaction is initiated by a microwave plasma. More than a hundred different layers with different refractive indexes (a function of glass composition) may be deposited by either process before the tube is collapsed to form a glass rod.

The obvious advantage of the microwave experiment is that oriented single particles of arbitrary shape and, within limits, arbitrary refractive index, can be studied easily. Multilayered and other inhomogeneous particles pose no particular problems.

Approximate spectroscopic information can often be surprisingly useful. Perhaps the very simplest approximation of all is to use the index of refraction to estimate the dielectric permittivity of a material that is nearly transparent in the visible region. Then use the ionization potential, often tabulated in handbooks, to create a single absorption frequency. For example, consider several plastics that are nonpolar enough that we even ignore any significant terms from the microwave and IR regions.
