Picture development

The adiabatic picture developed above, based on the BO approximation, is basic to our understanding of much of chemistry and molecular physics. For example, in spectroscopy the adiabatic picture is one of well-defined spectral bands, one for each electronic state. The smicture of each band is then due to the shape of the molecule and the nuclear motions allowed by the potential surface. This is in general what is seen in absorption and photoelectron spectroscopy. There are, however, occasions when the picture breaks down, and non-adiabatic effects must be included to give a faithful description of a molecular system [160-163]. 

In the classical picture developed above, the wavepacket is modeled by pseudo-particles moving along uncorrelated Newtonian trajectories, taking the electrons with them in the form of the potential along the Uajectory. In this spirit, a classical wavepacket can be defined as an incoherent (i.e., noninteracting) superposition of confignrations, X/(, t)tlt,(r, t)... 

Although this mechanistic picture developed from experiments involving optically active alkyl halides chemists speak even of methyl halides as undergoing nucleophilic substitution with inversion By this they mean that tetrahedral inversion of the bonds to carbon occurs as the reactant proceeds to the product... 

Figure 1 shows the mechanistic picture developed by C. M. Starks (1,2) for Hquid—Hquid PTC in a graphical form. The catalyst cation extracts the more hpholilic anion Y from the aqueous to the nonpolar organic phase where it is present in the form of a poorly solvated ion pair Y ]. This then reacts rapidly with RX, and the newly formed ion pair X ] returns to the aqueous phase for another exchange process X — Y . In practice most catalyst cations used are rather lipophilic and do not extract strongly into the aqueous phase so that the anions are exchanged at the phase boundary. 

The first obvious feature is that the amount of deflection at a given time after stress is applied increases with increasing time from the start of the test. This agrees with the picture developed above, indicating that the concentration of the active species is increasing with the total time of irradiation. The fourth beam-on period after the start of the test has a lower deflection than expected from the other periods presumably this is caused by experimental error since it is the only inconsistency in this series of runs. 

Flow does the occurrence of two fluorescing states for MK fit into the dynamic picture developed in Section IV The observed temperature dependence of the fluorescence quantum yield of MK in ethanol206 yields direct evidence that in this case, also, EBA < Ev. Recent time-resolved measurements at the Berlin Electron Storage Ring for Synchrotron Radiation (BESSY)207 support this argument The viscosity dependence of the decay of the short-wavelength fluorescence band in ethanol is consistent with an apparent value BA — 0.5Ev. Moreover, the decay is nonexponential, as would be expected for a barrierless relaxation. The lifetime of the TICT state (exponential decay) is 0.65 ns in acetonitrile at room temperature, that is, it is unusually short. 

Although the picture developed above describes the beam data extremely well we must point out that it fails to account for all the details observed if a single rotational state is dissociated. While the simple FC-type model predicts a preferential population of the 2n(A") state for all j, in the dissociation of single initial quantum states of H20(JA), on the other hand, one finds an oscillatory 2n(A") / 2n(A ) ratio (see Section 11.3). 

The kinetics of reductive dissolution reactions is made complicated (relative to the conceptual picture developed in Section 3.1) by electron transfer processes, similar to the way in which these processes bring complexity to... 

Interesting in this context is the finding that oxides such as A1203, Ti02 etc. can be used as fillers that enhance the ion conductivity.116 Even though effects such as impact on crystallinity or on segmental motion are expected to have a great influence, the picture developed in Section V.2. should also be relevant In a covalent matrix most of... 

In this compilation I have restricted my stratigraphic analyses primarily to animal communities rather rich in species (ten or more species). Since sporadic large-mammal finds do not fit into the overall picture developed in this book, I have included them only in very special cases the large-mammal material has been reviewed elsewhere (Jdnossy and Voros, 1979). 

Incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering measured as a function of hydration for powders of deuterated phycocyanin has been used to probe water motions (Middendorf et al., 1984). The simplest model accounting for the data was jump diffusion of water molecules between localized-sorption sites and the development of clusters of surface water at higher hydration (half-coverage of the surface, 0.15 h). This model is consistent with the picture developed from sorption thermodynamics. 

General symptoms The acute clinical picture develops swiftly with conspicuous symptoms, such as fatigability, loss of appetite, nausea, weakness, lassitude, meteorism, apathy and disruption of the circadian rhythm. 

Sometimes, a more chronic picture develops after treatment for 2 or 3 years, with features of chronic active hepatitis (10). 

When the cleaning yields of the actual plant operations are taken into account, a different and more realistic picture develops. The high cleaning yield of Plant B(A) (87%) compared with the lower (about 70%) yield of the other two results in much less waste per ton of product coal to which an ECT process mu t be applied. This results in less control cost for Plant B(A) in dollars per ton of cleaned coal produced. The only exception is Option 7, where the high acidity of the leachate places Plant B(A) at a cost disadvantage in spite of its lower volume of solid waste. 

The experimental results are compiled in Section III.2, which starts with a short description of the methods used to visualize (potential) patterns at electrode surfaces. First wave phenomena in the bistable regime and then in the oscillatory regime are reviewed, with the focal point being on how they fit into the theoretical picture developed in Section III.l. 

Again, in the description just given, one might think of the absorption processes in the continuum occurring sequentially or, alternatively, that all the ATI peaks are produced simultaneously inside the laser pulse (which is the picture developed below).
