Penetration function

The linear expansion coefficient a (= 1/2 and J/2 are the radii of gyration in the perturbed and unperturbed state, respectively) is determined from the penetration function F which is defined by 64)...

Lines are calculated by using the penetration function j/ from short and long range interaction parameters A and B, which are estimated by methods 2C (full line), 2D (broken line), 2E (dotted line), and 2G (chain line), together with experimental [Pg.41]

In order to simulate the performance of the bomb when dropped firom aircraft, a mortar was constructed at Standard Oil Development Company and used to fire the bombs downward onto a target at any chosen velocity. The mortar was mounted on a movable crane. .. so that the point of impact of the bomb on the structure below could be closely controlled. Various sections of typical enemy domestic and industrial structures were employed to test the penetration, functioning, and fire-raising characteristics of the 6-pound oil bomb.. . Over 20,000 bombs were tested by Standard Oil Development Company before the final design was standardized. [Noyes, page 391]. 

It is useful to calculate the depth of penetration of the evanescent wave as a function of incidence angle and X-ray wavelength. This has been done for quartz, hematite and calcite, using the X-ray optics calculator on the Center for X-ray Optics web page http //www-cxro.lbl.gov/optical-constants/ Taking hematite as an example, it is clear from Figure 10 that there is a dramatic effect from increased absorption. At 7100 eV, below the Fe edge, the penetration function resembles those of other solids. However,... 

Unfortunately, h cannot be estimated from measurement of A2, because P is not directly measurable. Thus experimentalists prefer another dimensionless quantity T called the penetration function. It is defined by... 

As mentioned repeatedly, according to the two-parameter theory, the expansion factor as> the penetration function and the hydrodynamic expansion factors a, and at in the non-draining limit should become universal functions of a single variable z. These non-dimensional quantities are experimentally determinable without any assumption. Thus, the validity of the two-parameter theory can be tested directly by looking at whether a single curve independent of polymer rind solvent condition (solvent species and temperature) is obtciined or not when any of them is plotted against the other. Such tests were made by many authors (for example, see Ref. [2] and [119]). Here we refer to a recent one by Miyaki and Fujita [49] (and also Miyaki [44]), who used the following criteria A and B.

In good solvents, the penetration function is nearly independent of M unless the chain is too short, and rou ly equals 0.22. Then eq 7A-2 gives...

We have demonstrated for the first time that average macroscopic kinetics of reactions in SAMs can be correlated and explained by nanometer level force (adhesion) measurements in the confined environment of the monolayer studied. Using a modified CFM approach, which we termed inverted chemical force microscopy , reactions of as few as 10 to 100 molecules could be followed in situ. Structure-reactivity differences, arising from differences in monolayer structure, as observed on the nanometer scale, on average agree well with macroscopic behavior observed by FT-IR. The studies show that reagents penetrate functionalized monolayers at specific defect sites or at domain boundaries.

As in the case of the expansion factors (Xq and the few available terms in the direct perturbation expansion of the molecular weight dependent function F(z) in equation (80) do not give a useful representation for z appreciably different from zero. Consequently a number of approximate closed form expressions for F(z), developed in much the same spirit as those for the expansion factor, have been proposed to analyze thermodynamic behavior in good solvents. A thorough discussion may be found in ref. 75. Usually, the closed form expressions are expressed in terms of a dimensionless penetration function F(z) where z = z/aj and...
