Figure 6.2 Optical images of the samples analysed in this work on the same row, samples subjected to a different number of recycling steps, but solidified under cooling rates of the same order of magnitude are reported on the same column, samples with the same recycling history but solidified under different cooling rates are reported. All the images are on the same magnification scale namely the longest side is about 400 pm. Reproduced with permission from F. De Santis and R.

As in tic, another method to vaUdate a chiral separation is to collect the individual peaks and subject them to some type of optical spectroscopy, such as, circular dichroism or optical rotary dispersion. Enantiomers have mirror image spectra (eg, the negative maxima for one enantiomer corresponds to the positive maxima for the other enantiomer). One problem with this approach is that the analytes are diluted in the mobile phase. Thus, the sample must be injected several times. The individual peaks must be collected and subsequently concentrated to obtain adequate concentrations for spectral analysis. 

Since 1970 the subject of amoiphous semiconductors, in particular silicon, has progressed from obscurity to product commercialisation such as flat-panel hquid crystal displays, linear sensor arrays for facsimile machines, inexpensive solar panels, electrophotography, etc. Many other appHcations are at the developmental stage such as nuclear particle detectors, medical imaging, spatial light modulators for optical computing, and switches in neural networks (1,2).
