The rate of an electrode reaction is a function of three principle types of species charge carriers on the surface, active surface atoms and reactant species in the solution as illustrated in Figure 23. That is, r cc [h] [Siactive] [A]. Carrier concentration and reactant concentration do not, in general, depend on surface orientation while active surface atoms may be a function of surface orientation. Anisotropic effect occurs when the rate determining step depends on the active surface atoms that vary with crystal orientation of the surface. On the other hand, reactions are isotropic when the concentration of active surface atoms is not a function of surface orientation or when the rate determining step does not involve active surface atoms. 

The scattering matrix elements StJ corresponding to (5.47) can be obtained from (3.16). However, of possibly greater interest than the most general scattering matrix is that for a collection of identical, but randomly oriented, anisotropic dipoles this scattering matrix is proportional to where %... 

All the essential ingredients for calculating the average scattering matrix for a randomly oriented anisotropic dipole are now at hand. From the relations (5.50), after a good bit of algebra, we obtain... 

Scattering media to which this matrix applies include randomly oriented anisotropic spheres of substances such as calcite or crystalline quartz (uniaxial) or olivine (biaxial). Also included are isotropic cylinders and ellipsoids of substances such as glass and cubic crystals. An example of an exactly soluble system to which (13.21) applies is scattering by randomly oriented isotropic spheroids (Asano and Sato, 1980). Elements of (13.21) off the block diagonal vanish. Some degree of alignment is implied, therefore, if these matrix elements...

This section is concerned with the rates of re-orientation of typical reactants in solution and upon both theoretical analyses and experimental studies of such. Molecules which may display orientationally anisotropic reactivity are indicated and the modifications to the rate of mutual diffusion and chemical reaction are considered. 

From these expressions, the birefringence from the scattering of oriented, anisotropic particles can be calculated. The dichroism can also be calculated, but in this limit, it is only present if the polarizability has an imaginary component. In other words, only absorbing particles are predicted to be dichroic. 

In a system of nanoparticles, thermal fluctuations of their magnetic moments severely reduce the anisotropy of the resonance magnetic field, resulting in superparamagnetic spectra narrowing. This reduction is the more pronounced the smaller is the particle size. Therefore, the SPR spectra of macroscopically isotropic nanoparticle systems characterised by a distribution in size usually maintain a distinct shape asymmetry characteristic of powder patterns of randomly oriented anisotropic particles. From an inspection of such spectra, one can conclude that the angular dependence of the resonance magnetic field of individual particles is not completely reduced. 

The texture of unoriented filins of PBLG is interpreted to be composed of randomly oriented anisotropic rods which are again composed of oriented aggregates of the polymer molecules by means of the small-ai e li t scattering 17) and the electron micrt aph 93). 

Two categories of pitch-based fiber exist isotropic carbon fiber produced from an isotropic pitch precursor, and an oriented, anisotropic fiber produced from a mesophase pitch precursor. Isotropic fibers were developed from low melting point isotropic pitches The precursor was melt-spun into fibers, which were oxidized to render them infusible, and then carbonized. Their low strengths and moduli make these fibers unsuitable for use in advanced composites. Orientation was accomplished by a hot-stretching process (>2200°C), but it is accompanied by the same processing difficulties encountered in the rayon precursor process. A different approach was suggested by the discovery of carbonaceous mesophase. ... 

Hz. The presence of many spins with differently oriented anisotropic shielding tensors may render the establishment of the spinsys part of the SIMPSON input file (this part describes the magnitude and orientation of the tensorial interactions) quite cumbersome. One can easily envisage situations where establishment of the orientation of even three tensors may be difficult, even more so for 5-6 tensors - and the eagerness to test pulse sequences numerically for several typical spin systems of this size may be reduced significantly unless numerical procedures for this work can be established. 

Many techniques have been proposed for making capillary-pore membranes including laser beams, electroforming, photochemical etching, and ionotropy to orient anisotropic gel particles to form ionotropic-gel membranes.3... 

Many fibers composed of natural polymers contain uniaxially oriented anisotropic hollow spaces in which metal particles can crystallize under appropriate conditions. As a consequence, the impregnated fibers contain anisotropic assemblies of metal nanoparticles that induce anisotropic optical properties... 

The experimental g(oj) (or g(v)), while showing qualitatively all the features of the calculated g(co), cannot yet be quantitatively compared because the vibrational amplitudes (generally called polarization vectors in neutron-scattering circles) of the various normal modes (phonons) are not yet taken into account. The situation is similar to the features of the vibrational spectra of an isotropic sample compared with the features of the spectra in polarized light of an oriented anisotropic sample. 

Composites with naturai particies or fibers such as wood, bamboo, sisal, jute, wheat straw, banana, or coconut form another group of polymer composites. They are considered with other biopoiymers in Section 8.2 in Part II. The so-called hot-compacted polymers can be considered as special fiber composites. The idea behind this is to make high-strength compositions starting from highly oriented anisotropic fibers or tapes of a singie poiymer, which are connected to woven mats and compacted with the technoiogy of hot compaction (see Section 9.2 in Part II). 

For solutes which are not mesomorphic at temperatures where the G—LC experiments are performed it is Sg = 0. In this case Equ. (40) leads to the following simple equation for the orientational (anisotropic) contribution to the solute activity coefficient...
