Positively charged primary adsorption layer on colloidal particle ----... 

Figure 1 2-3 The electrical double layer of a colloid consists of a layer of charge adsorbed on the surface of the particle (the primary adsorption layer) and a layer of opposite charge (the counter-ion layer) in the solution surrounding the particle. Increasing the electrolyte concentration has the effect of decreasing the volume of the counter-ion layer, thereby increasing the chances for coagulation.

Fig. 7. A representative pulse power machine used for inertial confinement fusion is the Sandia National Laboratory Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator which consists of a slowly charged primary energy storage Marx capacitor bank under insulating oil, a water dielectric intermediate energy store capacitor, a switched pulse forming line which compresses the waveform in time, and a magnetically insulated transmission line which delivers the power pulse to a vacuum diode to produce energetic electrons or light ions, which are accelerated and focussed by electric and magnetic fields onto a target.

Here R is the charged primary radical derived from peroxodisulfate initiator (1), M monomer in the water phase, RM and RM growing radicals, RMz the surface active radical with a high degree of hydrophobicity and RMj the primary particle. The surface active radical enters the polymer particle or monomer swollen micelles, and start the polymerization. 

It is possible to create a pH gradient in the solution of concern in the separation system by external means. At the location where pH has the isoelectric value for the ith protein species, Z, will be zero, leading to a zero external electrical force on the ith species. At other locations, the force will be nonzero. The forces on molecules or ions in solution due to an externally imposed primary field (i.e. electrical field) can then be suitably altered by the imposition of additional property gradients in the solution by external means. If we have macroscopic particles instead of molecules or macromolecules, the driving force per particle may be obtained from definition (3.1.8) simply by replacing Z, by Qp, the net particle charge in coulomb. 

Since neutrons are neutral they interact differently to charged particles. The primary interaction occurs with the nucleus of the absorber and little interaction is present with its orbital electrons. Neutrons interact with the nucleus through elastic and inelastic scattering and neutron capture. In the latter mechanism, the neutron is absorbed by the nucleus which in turn excites the nucleus to higher energy levels. As the nucleus returns back to the ground state a particle is emitted (dependent on the incident energy this could be a-particle, neutron etc), and a new radioactive nuclide is produced. 

The charge on a droplet surface produces a repulsive barrier to coalescence into the London-van der Waals primary attractive minimum (see Section VI-4). If the droplet size is appropriate, a secondary minimum exists outside the repulsive barrier as illustrated by DLVO calculations shown in Fig. XIV-6 (see also Refs. 36-38). Here the influence of pH on the repulsive barrier between n-hexadecane drops is shown in Fig. XIV-6a, while the secondary minimum is enlarged in Fig. XIV-6b [39]. The inset to the figures contains t,. the coalescence time. Emulsion particles may flocculate into the secondary minimum without further coalescence.
