Reference surface

Optical interferometry can be used to measure surface features without contact. Light reflected from the surface of interest interferes with light from an optically flat reference surface. Deviations in the fnnge pattern produced by the interference are related to differences in surface height. The interferometer can be moved to quantify the deviations. Lateral resolution is determined by the resolution of the magnification optics. If an imaging array is used, three-dimensional (3D) information can be provided. 

Determine the extensional, bending-extension coupling, and bending stiffnesses of an equal-thickness bimetallic strip as shown in Figure 1-3 (a beam made of two different isotropic materials with E, v, a, E2, V2, and 02). Use the middle surface of the beam as the reference surface. 

The application of interference techniques overcomes the limitations exerted by the large optical wavelengths. With commercial phase-measurement interference microscopes (PMIM), a surface resolution of the order of 0.6 nm can be achieved [33, 34]. In a microscope a laser beam is both reflected from the sample surface and from a semitransparent smooth reference surface (Fig. 3). The interference pattern is recorded on an area detector and modulated via the piezo-electric driven reference surface. The modulated interference pattern is fed into a computer to generate a two-dimensional phase map which is converted into a height level contour map of the sample surface. While the lateral resolution (typically of the... 

Although liquid Hg would never be used as a reference (model) surface in surface physics because its liquid state and high vapor pressure do not allow appropriate UHV conditions, this metal turns out to be a reference surface in electrochemistry for precisely the same reasons reproducibility of the surface state, easy cleaning of its surface, and the possibility of measuring the surface tension (surface thermodynamic conditions). In particular, the establishment of a UHV scale for potentials is at present based on data obtained for Hg. 

Figure 5 shows a sketch of the plot of Eam0 vs. 0 according to Eq. (28). If a metal is taken as a reference surface, a straight line of unit slope through its point would gather all metals with AX = O, i.e., those whose sum of perturbation terms is exactly the same. For these metals the difference in pzc is governed only by the difference in 0. 

Figure 14 shows a plot of as a function of 0. Hg is taken as a reference surface a straight line of unit slope is drawn through its point.

Unlike the other tests in this section the grade colour is not a performance test but is a test of the whiteness of flour. The Kent-Jones and Martin colour grade is measured by comparing the reflecting power of a dispersion of flour in water with a standard reference surface. A few patent flours give a negative colour grade, which merely indicates that they are whiter than the reference.

Accdg to his theory, combustion initiated at open end of the pipe first takes place in the circumferential region of one spiral, and then the flame is propagated in the gas stream, forming a sort of an elongated cone between the reference surfaces AA and BB, as shown in Fig B. The process of combustion here is essentially nonuniform. The depth of the reaction zone is detd directly from kinetics (as in the case of one-dimensional propagation... 

In this connection Zel dovich Kompaneets constructed three reference surfaces one, designated as 0, ahead of the front (where the undisturbed medium is found) another, designated as I, immediately behind the front (where the substance has already been compressed but the reaction has not yet begun) and a third, designated as 2, in the region where the reaction has been completed Assuming that deton velocity, D, is known and that the sp heat Cp, of a mixture at const pressure is constant and does not depend on the temperature, the enthalpy of initial stage can be expressed as ... 

It was stated on p 73 of Ref 55 that for stationary motion of the gas Eq 6 for D2 should be fulfilled for any reference surface which is constructed inside the reaction zone, since the process cannot be stationary if the propagation velocity, D, is different at different points. Therefore, D is identical for all reference surfaces. If we illustrate the processes which are taking place in the detonation wave, which has specified velocity D, in a p,v diagram, then they will... 

Here either the C.P.D. between a surface A and a reference surface R is measured directly, or else some property dependent on the C.P.D. is measured. In each case, when the surface A is changed to A by the process of adsorption, a varying potential is applied to A until it behaves as A alternatively, the new C.P.D. is measured directly. This change in potential is the required C.P.D. between A and A. Thus, if Var and Va r are the C.P. differences between the reference electrode R and the clean and covered surfaces A and A, respectively,... 

Given the material parameters 6 and and the elevation of the basal topography, b, above the curved reference surface, equations (1)- (3) allow h, u and v to be computed as functions of space and time once appropriate initial and boundary conditions are prescribed, where h is the avalanche depth, and (u, v) are the depth-averaged velocity profiles parallel to the flow path.

Water has a2 = 14 88 sq. mm. at room temperature hence the first part of the tables, which are as accurate as those of Bashforth and Adams, apply to tubes of radius up to 8 8 mm. For many organic liquids, which have d2 often about 5, the accuracy is the same up to about 5 mm. radius. These tubes are of course far wider than those generally used, except for the purpose of a reference surface with which the height in the narrower tube may be compared. 

Gas Emissivities Radiant transfer in a gaseous medium is characterized by three quantities the gas emissivity, gas absorptivity, and gas transmissivity. Gas emissivity refers to radiation originating within a gas volume which is incident on some reference surface. Gas absorptivity and transmissivity, however, refer to the absorption and transmission of radiation from some external surface radiation source characterized by some radiation temperature 7. The sum of the gas absorptivity and transmissivity must, by definition, be unity. Gas absorptivity may be calculated from an appropriate gas emissivity. The gas emissivity is a function only of the gas temperature Tg while the absorptivity and transmissivity are functions ofboth Tg and Tt.
