Polarization model-predicted

The polarization model predicts that the interaction between nanoparticles depends not only on the surface charge density, but also on the surface dipole density. As the concentration of electrolyte increases, the surface charge density decreases, due to the recombination of ions with surface groups, but the density of surface dipoles increases. At relatively low salt concentrations, the repulsion due to the dou-... 

In summary, when the Debye-Huckel Adh largely exceeds the dipole correlation length A , (eitho because of low ionic strength, or because of disordo), the polarization model predicts, at large separations, results similar to those obtained from the DLVO theory (with suitably adjusted... 

On the other hand, in support of the hypothesis that the polarization of water might play an important role in the hydration force between silica surfaces, one should note that the polarization model predicts an increase in the hydration force at higher ionic strength [30], which can be indeed observed in Fig. 5, by comparing the experiments at c =0.01 M (pH=3) with those at cE= 1 M. While both the gel-induced steric repulsion and the polarization model are consistent with the present experimental data, a final decision about the microscopic origin of the hydration force in the case of silica should be postponed until more accurate data or additional information regarding the nature of the silica surface will become available. 

In order to prove the S-shaped character of the polarization curve, the system was studied galvanostatically. The model predicts that the sandwiched branch of the polarization curve should be stable, and therefore measurable under galvanostatic conditions. Figure 6.10 shows the results of the experiment depending on the scan rate, an S-shaped curve can be observed in the back scan, i.e., from high to low current. At low... 

Heteroatom substituents also introduce polar effects. In the case of a-alkoxy aldehydes the preferred TS appears to be F and G for the E- and Z-enolates, respectively. These differ from the normal Felkin TS for nucleophilic addition. The reactant conformation is believed to be determined by minimization of dipolar repulsion between the alkoxy substituent and the carbonyl group.96 This model predicts higher 3,4-anti ratios for Z-enolates, and this is observed. 

While the PM3-SM4 model does appear to slightly underestimate the polarity of the enol component, there is some cancellation of errors upon considering the differential transfer free energies between cyclohexane and water. As noted above, experiment indicates that the differential free energy of transfer of the dione and the enol is 3.1 kcal/mol the PM3-SM4 model predicts this value to be 2.8 kcal/mol, in excellent quantitative agreement. AM1-SM4 is less satisfactory in this regard, predicting only 1.9 kcal/mol. 

A comparison of our Cheetah polar water model predictions with both high-pressure Hugoniot data,51 and low-density (steam at 800 K) experimental data52 is presented in Figure 6. The agreement is very good for both cases.

As the above results show, the gross features of the cellulose I crystal structure predicted by various methods do not differ appreciably, but the accompanying deviations in the R -factors are significant. When these predictions are used to assess, for example, whether the cellulose I crystal structure is based on parallel- or antmarallel-chains, the range in the R"-factors seen for the parallel models (cf. Table II) is comparable to that between the two different polarity models. As shown in Fig. 5, the most probable parallel- and antiparallel-chain structures of cellulose I, refined by minimizing the function O, differ in R -factors by approximately the same extent as the three predictions for the parallel model shown in Fig. 4 and Table II. 

All of these models predict that the hydrophobic effect provides a significant driving force for the exclusion of even highly polar, charged peptides from an aqueous environment to the nonpolar environment of the RPC sorbent. According to the solvophobic model, in order to place a peptide into a mobile phase, a cavity of the same molecular dimensions must first be created. The energy required to create this cavity is related to the cohesive energy density or the surface tension of the mobile phase. Conceptually, each solvent-accessible unit... 

Equation (20) may be seen as the combination of the two processes of direct and inverse photoemission, when the 5 f shell retains a strong character of localization (in case of itinerant 5fs, the Hubbard model predicts that the kinetic energy due to itineracy creates statistical fluctuations between the polar states, so that the itinerant character is lost). 

Second, the northern polar vortex is much less stable and hence less isolated from mixing with external air masses compared to the Antarctic case events in January and February in which there was substantial mixing of air from midlatitudes into the vortex have been reported (e.g., see Browell et al., 1993 Plumb et al., 1994). This makes it particularly important to make both measurements and model predictions with sufficient resolution (Edouard et al., 1996). In addition, the Arctic polar vortex tends to break up earlier than the Southern Hemisphere polar vortex since ozone destruction is determined to a large degree by the extent of exposure to sunlight, the earlier breakup and mixing with air external to the vortex cuts the ozone loss short. 

The model predicts that for the typical elastic parameters the polarization splay is small, just a few degrees. This was also confirmed experimentally as only a small change of birefringence under the electric field is detected for the Blrev phase. The electric field eliminates the spontaneous splay by aligning the dipole moments along the electric field direction. 

In recent years, most rotational anisotropic data for both metals and semiconductors have been discussed in light of Tom s model [67, 68] and from the theory of Shen [78]. No assumption is made about the microscopic origin of the bulk and surface nonlinear polarization. This phenomenological model predicts a simple functional dependence of the SH intensity on the angle of rotation of the sample about the surface normal...
