Physical stopping

One of the first to show up was Werner Heisenberg, who later won a Nobel Prize. Soon afterward came George Gamow, the fun-loving Russian physicist who sorted out the nuclear reactions that power the stars. Erwin Schrodinger, who also won a Nobel Prize in physics, stopped by to lecture on his new wave theory. Wolfgang Pauli, who would also win a Nobel Prize for his contributions to quantum mechanics, was there, too. 

The NMR experiment performed is the simplest one imaginable. The H nuclei in the sample are irradiated with a single square pulse of RF energy ( 1 W) lasting about 10-12/rs. After waiting a dead time of 10/rs, to allow the coil to physically stop oscillating from the power input it experienced, the receiver is... 

Accessibility. Many reports [98-103] indicated that when hydrocellulose was treated with an alkali the stable residues still contained noticeable amounts of reducing endgroups [94,101-103]. This phenomenon was ascribed to a physical stopping process [100] when a degrading end reached a crystalline region inaccessible to the alkali. 

Though the major alkaline reactions of cellulose have been relatively well defined, the role of cellulose physical structure in those reactions has not been clearly established. Cellulose molecules have been reported to undergo physical stopping of the peeling reaction when a molecule is peeled back to a crystalline region in the cellulose structure, with the result that the reducing endgroup... 

Although physical stopping is not a chemical reaction, per se, kpg values determined using Equation 4 may be compared to values, providing a measure of the relative importance of the two modes of stopping. Furthermore, comparison of kpg values for two substrates gives an indication of the relative extent of structural hindrance to peeling. 

My first encounter with the field of colloid science occurred during my undergraduate studies, when I worked in a project on the electroacoustic zeta-potential measurement of colloidal suspensions. I probably did not understand much of the measurement technique, but I became fascinated with colloids for several reasons. First, they behave strangely —at least for a student of process engineering whose education in physics stopped right after mechanics and thermodynamics. Second, in our library I found some of the historical papers by Smoluchowski and others, which impressed by their age and the clear and comprehensible explanation of the physical phenomena in colloidal suspensions. Further on, I felt attracted by the interrelation of physics, chemistry and engineering. Last but not least, there was this mystery that our curriculum completely ignored the subject of colloids.
