Polarised radiation studies with

The spectmm from an undulator is very different, and numerous peaks result from interference effects within the undulator. When the electron acceleration is confined to the orbit plane and the emission angle very low, the radiation is strongly elliptically polarised and, in the orbit plane itself, it is to within a few per cent linearly polarised. Use of a sequence of permanent magnets with magnetisation arranged in a spiral sequence enables circularly polarised radiation to be extracted from such a helical undulator and this radiation is particularly important for magnetic studies. 

Since the parallel components of the dynamic dipole are active in RAIRS, it is possible to use the azimuthal dependence to obtain the orientation of the adsorbate at the surface. A similar technique has been applied to adsorbates on metals in HREELS measurements made off specular in order to observe parallel modes through impact or resonant scattering processes. This was first demonstrated for the Rh(CO)2 molecule on anisotropic TiO2(110) surface [72]. The results of this study also allow a test of the three layer model theory (Fig.5,6) as applied to S-polarised radiation. Fig. 11 shows the FT-RAIRS spectrum for 1/3 monolayer of Rh(CO)2 on Ti02(l 10) measured with P and S polarised radiation. 

Much attention has been given to the analysis of OH stretching bands of micas occurring in an isolated region of the spectrum ranging from about 3750 to 3550 cm (Farmer 1974). Using polarized radiation, the pleochroic scheme of IR absorption bands, measured on oriented crystal sections, makes it possible to impose defined constraints on the orientation of the OH dipoles. In a fundamental polarised IR study, Tsuboi (1950) determined the position of the H atom in the structure of muscovite. The variation of absorption intensity of the OH stretching band with the direction of the electric vector of... 

Circularly polarised 190 nm radiation has been used to study the direct photoracemisation of the enantiomers of trans cyclo-octene (Inoue et al.), and new evidence has been reported for the 90° twisted intermediate on the SI surface of stilbene (Gano et al.). Intramolecular charge-transfer excitation of 4-dimethyl-amino-4 -cyanostilbene and 4-azetidinyl-4 -cyanostilbene is considered to involve at most an intermediate with a lifetime of less than 1 ps (lUchev et al.), and a novel synthetic route to 5,6-dihydro-4H-l,2-oxazines (26) from y,5-unsaturated oximes has been described by Armesto et al. The photorearrangement of the ammonium salts of the dibenzobarrelene (27) to the semibullvalene isomers has...
