Processes in the Electric Field

Since the volume is clearly the same for the body and the medium, we arrive at 

The conservation of energy in the presence of fields such as gravity, electric, and magnetic fields is sometimes not easy to perceive. Here we discuss processes associated with the electric plate condenser.

For most of the molecules, the electron flow is from D to A, which is supported by the anti-Aviram-Ratner mechanism of Fig. 11a. However, there may be yet another possibility, shown in Fig. 21 implicit in the analyses of Figs. 9-11 has been the Aviram and Ratner assumption [79] that auto-ionization is a less efficient competing process. If the electric field induces intramolecular ionization first by sufficiently altering the orbital energies, then the direction of electron flow may occur in the anti-AR direction (Fig. 21) ... 

Moving-boundary electrophoretic techniques, originally demonstrated by Tiselius in 1937, employ a U-tube with the sample occupying the lower part of the U and the two limbs being carefully filled with a buffered electrolyte so as to maintain sharp boundaries with the sample. Electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte and direct current passed between them. The rate of migration of the sample in the electric field is measured by observing the movement of the boundary as a function of time. For colourless samples, differences in refractive index may be used to detect the boundary. Such moving-boundary techniques are used mainly in either studies of the physical characteristics of molecules or bulk preparative processes. 

The term A GE represents the electrical work done in moving an ion of charge ze0 and water molecules with dipole moments fi between the outer Helmholtz layer and the inner Helmholtz layer in the electric field, X, arising from the charge of the metal (Section 6.8.2.1). Thus, it can split into AGE - AG i + AG w. If some transfer of charge (Section 6.8.2.1) occurs during the adsorption process, Eq. (6.210) can be written as... 

Activation energies of the viscous flow, dielectric relaxation process and orientational process in an electric field... 

In inelastic Raman scattering a photon loses (or gains) one quantum of rotational or vibrational energy to (or from) the molecule. The process involves the electric field of the radiation inducing an electric dipole in the molecule and so depends on the polarizability tensor of the molecule. (A (second-order) tensor is a physical quantity with nine components.) The induced electric dipole D is proportional to the electric field E ... 

The reaction ions enter the area where the carrier gas introduces the sample. HaO" ions rapidly react with the analyte molecules (R), on the basis of the proton transfer reaction. As a result of this process, analyte cations (RH" ) are produced. RH" ions enter the drift region, where they are separated in the electric field according to their mass-to-charge ratio (mJz) ... 

In the expressions (184) and (184b) the second, temperature-dependent term defines the Born effect due to superposition of the two non-linear processes of second-order distortion and reorientation of permanent dipole moments in the electric field. Buckingham et al. determined nonlinear polarizabflities If and c for numerous molecules by Kerr effect measurements in gases as a function of temperature and pressure. It is here convenient to use the virial expansion of the molar Kerr constant, when the first and second virial coefficients Ak and Bk result immediately from equations (177), (178), and (184). Meeten et al. determined nonlinear molecular polarizabilities by measuring K in liquids as a function of temperature. 

Apart from purely electronic effects, an asymmetric nuclear relaxation in the electric field can also contribute to the first hyperpolarizability in processes that are partly induced by a static field, such as the Pockels effect [55, 56], and much attention is currently devoted to the study of the vibrational hyperpolarizability, can be deduced from experimental data in two different ways [57, 58], and a review of the theoretical calculations of p, is given in Refs. [59] and [60]. The numerical value of the static P is often similar to that of static electronic hyperpolarizabilities, and this was rationalized with a two-state valence-bond charge transfer model. Recent ab-initio computational tests have shown, however, that this model is not always adequate and that a direct correlation between static electronic and vibrational hyperpolarizabilities does not exist [61].
