Polarized sources

The distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) sequence 253) for the J-coupled heteronuclear spin system (J is 13C- H coupling, approximately 135 to 170 Hz) is shown in Fig. 48. The pulse sequence is based on a resolvable spin-spin coupling between two nuclei, one of them (lH) being the polarization source for the... 

Nonlinear optics entails the mixing of one (with itself in some cases) or more fields to produce a nonlinear polarization source term, which in turn can radiate a new electromagnetic wave (13,14). This term is usually written as... 

Fig. 18. Overlay of plots from DMS-IMS2 response to several nitrotoluenes [2-mononitrotoluene (2-MNT), 3-MNT, 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 3,4-DNT, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)] in positive polarity (left). A reactant ion peak (RIP) is seen at 6.5 V and 1.9 ms, whereas protonated monomers are seen near 3 V and 2.2ms, and proton-bound dimers are at 0V and 3.5ms. TNT does not show a response in positive polarity. Overlay of plots from DMS-IMS2 response to several nitrotoluenes (cf. list in positive polarity) in negative polarity (right). A RIN is seen at 7 V and 1.8 ms, whereas molecular adducts or charge-exchanged ions are seen at 0.5 V and 2.5 ms. MNTs do not show a response in negative polarity. Source Neil D. Paz, NMSU...

Pending further work on these new magnetic semiconductors, metallic ferromagnets are in principle, the most convenient spin polarized sources for spin device work. The obvious configuration of direct Ohmic contact between metal and semiconductor proved to have fundamental shortcomings. The conductivity mismatch between the two materials implies very indifferent spin injection efficiency [174, 175], However it transpires that this difficulty is surmountable [176] by placing a tunnel barrier between the... 

The traditional theory of the double layer is based on a combination of the Poisson equation and Boltzmann distribution. While this involves the approximation that the potential of mean force used in the Boltzmann expression equals the mean value of the electrical potential [9], the results thus obtained are satisfactory at least for 1 1 electrolytes. The equations proposed in the present paper use the approximations inherent in the Poisson—Boltzmann equation, but also include the effect of the polarization field of the solvent which is caused by a polarization source assumed uniformly distributed on the surface and by the double layer itself. 

At the harmonic wavelength, the source to the radiated fields is the sheet of polarization. However, the total field radiated at location f in the outer medium cannot be taken as the simple superposition of the spherical waves generated by each point f at the surface of the particle because the metal particle is also highly polarizable at the harmonic frequency. The total field in the particle must be the superposition of the radiated field and the polarization field at the harmonic wavelength and the total field at the detector in the outer medium is obtained by solving the boundary conditions at the surface of the particle. In spherical coordinates, the harmonic field at location r radiated by a nonlinear polarization source at location E is now also an expansion of the parameter x = a/X of the form ... 

This paper begins to address the issue of the conduction of small ions in channels by examining a model of the system as a regular double helix of polar sources that interact with a small spherical ion, for... 

A fundamentally different approach to signal excitation is present in polarization transfer methods. These rely on the existence of a resolvable J coupling between two nuclei, one of which (normally the proton) serves as a polarization source for the other. The earliest of these type of experiments were the SPI (Selective Population Inversion) type (19>) in which low-power selective pulses are applied to a specific X-satellite in the proton spectrum for an X-H system. The resultant population inversion produces an enhanced multiplet in the X spectrum if detection follows the inversion. A basic improvement which removes the need for selective positioning of the proton frequency was the introduction of the INEPT (Insensitive Nucleus Excitation by Polarization Transfer) technique by Morris and Freeman (20). This technique uses strong non-selective pulses and gives general sensitivity enhancement. 

Polarization Anisotropy. Since the dye molecules which absorb and emit light in the LSC behave as dipole antennas, they have a tendency to emit light which is polarized in the same direction as a polarized source. For example, suppose that a randomly oriented sample of dye molecules located at the origin is excited by light polarized in the z direction. It has been shown that luminescence in the x direction will have three times as much intensity in the z polarization component as in the y component (11). If this luminescence is subsequently self-absorbed, the resulting luminescence would be less polarized. The degree of polarization can be measured by the reduced anisotropy, which is the parallel intensity (z component) minus the perpendicular intensity (y component) divided by the sum of the parallel plus twice the perpendicular intensities ... 

Proceeding from the above, current generated in M1-P-M2 systems is able to ensure stable polarization of the friction pair. Polarization takes place when such materials as PA, PPl, PVC, polyolefines and some other thermoplastics are used as the lining material. The polarization sources may appear in seals containing polymer linings, in friction joints whose parts are covered by polymer coats, in reinforced polymer articles and so on. These sources may perceptibly affect friction and wear of metal parts operating in hostile media or found between facings in the electrical contact. 

Based on this, it is possible to make the important conclusion that friction and wear of metals can be monitored by maintaining a given optimal potential, defined for each concrete case. As has been mentioned, aside of the potentials of the internal and external polarization sources, this can be regulated using special components introduced into the medium or composition of the rubbing bodies (see Sect. 4.4).

Figure 2 shows that for a 120 keV threshold, a 3 MeV photon source would have to have a source strength greater than 1 Crab for the polarization to be detected. To overcome this problem and identify the polarization of the source, an observation time greater than 10 s would be required. Figure 2 also shows that the INTEGRAL Imager will be sensitive at the 3a level to a 100% polarized source of 55 mCrab in the 200-600 keV band, observed in 10 s.

It is evident from Equation [9] that other factors being equal the efficiency of the conversion process increases with frequency and the strength of the nonlinear polarization source we also notice in Equation [9] that the conversion starts with a phase jump of jr/2 with respect to the incident field at the boundary. The most drastic impact on the conversion efficiency, however, stems from the presence of the factor exp(iA ) in Equation [9]. To appreciate its impact let us assume that the incident pump beam remains undepleted so that can be assumed to remain unaffected during the conversion process. The...
