Anisotropy orientational

The orientational structure of water near a metal surface has obvious consequences for the electrostatic potential across an interface, since any orientational anisotropy creates an electric field that interacts with the metal electrons. Hydrogen bonds are formed mainly within the adsorbate layer but also between the adsorbate and the second layer. Fig. 3 already shows quite clearly that the requirements of hydrogen bond maximization and minimization of interfacial dipoles lead to preferentially planar orientations. On the metal surface, this behavior is modified because of the anisotropy of the water/metal interactions which favors adsorption with the oxygen end towards the metal phase. 

The apparently statistical distribution observed in the calculations for low J arose from several kinds of trajectories that combined to produce the observed distribution. The existence, position and magnitude of the rotational rainbow is sensitive to the orientational anisotropy of the attractive interaction potential (washed out by averaging), and does not result from anisotropies in the repulsive interaction region.

Another aspect that is interesting to note concerns the dependence of the DFT gap on the orientation of the wire, indeed, for each wire size the following relation holds g[100] > g[lll] > Eg [110]. As has been pointed out in Ref. [121], this is related to the different geometrical structure of the wires in the [100], [111] and [110] directions. Indeed the [100], [111] wires appear as a collection of small clusters connected along the axis, while the [110] wires resemble a linear chain. So we expect that quantum confinement effects are much bigger in the [100], [111] wires, due to their quasi zero-dimensionality, with respect to the [110] wires. Further, the orientation anisotropy reduces with the wire width and it is expected to disappear for very large wires, where the band gap approaches that of the bulk material. 

If the molecules in a sample have some degree of preferred orientation (anisotropy), it is possible to probe the orientation of the functional groups with polarized measurements. This can be particularly useful in infrared imaging studies of protein films.

Very recently, detailed further analyses of the translation and reorientation dynamics of SCW have been reported showing consistency with our results in the limit of very low-density supercritical states for water [47], The dynamical behavior of SCW in this study is also compared to that of supercritical benzene showing that the density dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient and rotational dynamics of SCW is smaller than that of supercritical benzene because SCW is capable of maintaining stronger degrees of structural correlations and orientational anisotropy than benzene, which tends to lose intermolecular correlations at a much faster rate upon decreasing density [47],... 

Filling the Mold Cavity to Form the Product. The mold cavity is designed and machined to form the shape of the finished product. This is itself a complete art and science, based partly on experience, and increasingly on computerized engineering principles. Some major considerations are fast uniform flow, avoidance of degradation, minimization of orientation/anisotropy, fast cooling/ solidification, shrinkage and dimensional tolerances, and of course final properties of the product.

The orientational anisotropy ranges as far into the liquid phase as the density inhomogeneities do (roughly up to panel m), with increasingly less pronounced features. Slightly beyond the second maximum in the density profile the orientational distribution is isotropic, as it has to be the case for a bulk-like liquid. 

This difference in behavior between the two types of materials is related once again to the presence of domains and the ease or difficulty with which they can be induced to migrate and/or demagnetize. In the discussion up to this point, M was treated as if it were a unique function of //, but the actual situation is more complicated M depends on the relative orientation of the various crystallographic planes to the direction of the applied field intensity. In other words, it exhibits orientation anisotropy. Also M depends on the shape of the crystal being magnetized i.e., it exhibits shape anisotropy. This shape factor is quite important e.g., it is much easier to magnetize a...

In every case a highly ordered, highly conducting polyacetylene is produced (corresponding to [2]). Details of the conductivities, orientation, anisotropy, etc. are reported elsewhere. 

According to the Doi-Edwards theory, after time t = Teq following a step deformation at t = 0, the stress relaxation is described by Eqs. (8.52)-(8.56). In obtaining these equations, it is assumed that the primitive-chain contour length is fixed at its equilibrium value at all times. And the curvilinear diffusion of the primitive chain relaxes momentarily the orientational anisotropy (as expressed in terms of the unit vector u(s,t) = 5R(s,t)/9s), or the stress anisotropy, on the portion of the tube that is reached by either of the two chain ends. The theory based on these assumptions, namely, the Doi-Edwards theory, is called the pure reptational chain model. In reality, the primitive-chain contour length should not be fixed, but rather fluctuates (stretches and shrinks) because of thermal (Brownian) motions of the segments.
