A low-energy electron beam can also be obtained using a field emission tip and used in the field emission retarding-potential method. This combination provides an absolute measure of the sample work fiinction and the resolution is excellent [52].

The excess energies can be measured for a known by essentially a stopping potential method, giving a spechum. This spectrum is then matched with calculated orbital energies (eigenvalues) derived from molecular orbital calculations. 

Lewis acids such as zinc triflate[16] and BF3[17] have been used to effect the reaction of indole with jV-proiected aziridine-2-carboxylate esters. These alkylations by aziridines constitute a potential method for the enantioselective introduction of tryptophan side-chains in a single step. (See Chapter 13 for other methods of synthesis of tryptophans.)... 

The largest division of interfacial electrochemical methods is the group of dynamic methods, in which current flows and concentrations change as the result of a redox reaction. Dynamic methods are further subdivided by whether we choose to control the current or the potential. In controlled-current coulometry, which is covered in Section IIC, we completely oxidize or reduce the analyte by passing a fixed current through the analytical solution. Controlled-potential methods are subdivided further into controlled-potential coulometry and amperometry, in which a constant potential is applied during the analysis, and voltammetry, in which the potential is systematically varied. Controlled-potential coulometry is discussed in Section IIC, and amperometry and voltammetry are discussed in Section IID. 

The acid content of cmde petroleum varies from 0—3%, with cmdes from California, Venezuela, Russia, and Romania having the highest content. Smaller amounts are found ia U.S. Gulf Coast cmdes, whereas Httie or no naphthenic acids are found ia Pennsylvania, Iraq, or Saudi Arabia cmdes. Typical concentrations are shown ia Table 2. Minor amounts of naphthenic acids are also found ia bituminous oil sands, but these are not economically recoverable. Identification of naphthenic acids ia water from oil-beating strata is being examined as a potential method of petroleum exploration (18). 

Other acceptable charging methods that have been used are the two-level charging, modified constant potential, and constant potential methods.

A multidimensional PES for the reaction (6.45a) has been calculated by Wight et al. [1993] with the aid of the atom-atom potential method combined with the semiempirical London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato method (see, e.g., Eyring et al. [1983]). Because of high exoergicity, the PES...

Appearance potential methods all depend on detecting the threshold of ionization of a shallow core level and the fine structure near the threshold they differ only in the way in which detection is performed. In all of these methods the primary electron energy is ramped upward from near zero to whatever is appropriate for the sample material, while the primary current to the sample is kept constant. As the incident energy is increased, it passes through successive thresholds for ionization of core levels of atoms in the surface. An ionized core level, as discussed earlier, can recombine by emission either of a characteristic X-ray photon or of an Auger electron. 

A full-scale treatment of crystal growth, however, requires methods adapted for larger scales on top of these quantum-mechanical methods, such as effective potential methods like the embedded atom method (EAM) [11] or Stillinger-Weber potentials [10] with three-body forces necessary. The potentials are obtained from quantum mechanical calculations and then used in Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics methods, to be discussed below. 

Potential methods of measurement for dilatation parameters are the damping of transverse and longitudinal surface waves and the damping of vibrating bubbles. For theory and measuring techniques see Wiistneck and Kretzschmar [47].

Trichloroethylene is exhaled following inhalation and oral exposures (Dallas et al. 1991 Koizumi et al. 1986 Stewart et al. 1970), whereas metabolites are mainly excreted in the urine (Fernandez et al. 1977 Koizumi et al. 1986 Monster etal. 1979 Sato et al. 1977). Based on the knowledge of trichloroethylene metabolism and excretion, potential methods for reducing the body burden are presented. These methods have not been used in persons or animals exposed to trichloroethylene and should be researched further before being applied. 

The Volta potential is defined as the difference between the electrostatic outer potentials of two condensed phases in equilibrium. The measurement of this and related quantities is performed using a system of voltaic cells. This technique, which in some applications is called the surface potential method, is one of the oldest but still frequently used experimental methods for studying phenomena at electrified solid and hquid surfaces and interfaces. The difficulty with the method, which in fact is common to most electrochemical methods, is lack of molecular specificity. However, combined with modem surface-sensitive methods such as spectroscopy, it can provide important physicochemical information. Even without such complementary molecular information, the voltaic cell method is still the source of much basic electrochemical data.

SIMCA has inspired several related methods, such as DASCO [33] and CLASSY [34,35]. The latter has elements of the potential methods and SIMCA, while the former starts with the extraction of principal components, as in SIMCA, but then follows a quadratic discriminant rule.
