Process Tunnel

Komylak Corporation s recent development of the Process Tunnel is expected to have a significant impact on a variety of operations in the plastic field. A number of lines incorporating this process have already been built and are in operation in the United States and abroad. Their spectacular performance indicates that this development is indeed a breakthrough. This chapter will cover some of the technical aspects of this new process. 

For the purpose of minimising the hazards that are results of erroneous human behaviour, a structured educational process is necessary. Although it is known that the human factor is unpredictable in critical situations, the probability of a proper reaction increases if the tunnel users have received better education and training. Throughout the education and training process, tunnel users should familiarise themselves with an otherwise strange environment (i.e. the road tunnel). Apart from basic rules and guidelines, the tunnel user should be able to react in a proper manner even...

The probability matrix plays an important role in many processes in chemical physics. For chemical reactions, the probability of reaction is often limited by tunnelling tlnough a barrier, or by the fonnation of metastable states (resonances) in an intennediate well. Equivalently, the conductivity of a molecular wire is related to the probability of transmission of conduction electrons tlttough the junction region between the wire and the electrodes to which the wire is attached.

Fig. 4. Atom manipulation by the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Once the STM tip has located the adsorbate atom, the tip is lowered such that the attractive interaction between the tip and the adsorbate is sufficient to keep the adsorbate "tethered" to the tip. The tip is then moved to the desired location on the surface and withdrawn, leaving the adsorbate atom bound to the surface at a new location. The figure schematically depicts the use of this process in the formation of a "quantum corral" of 48 Fe atoms arranged in a circle of about 14.3 nm diameter on a Cu(lll) surface at 4 K.
