Reflection standard

However, it is common practice to sample an isothermal isobaric ensemble NPT, constant pressure and constant temperature), which normally reflects standard laboratory conditions well. Similarly to temperature control, the system is coupled to an external bath with the desired target pressure Pq. By rescaling the dimensions of the periodic box and the atomic coordinates by the factor // at each integration step At according to Eq. (46), the volume of the box and the forces of the solvent molecules acting on the box walls are adjusted. 

Cahbration with standard reflectance and transmittance samples should be routinely used for optimum results in spectrophotometry and colorimetry. Cahbration of the wavelength (32) and photometric (33) scales is also advisable. The cahbration of a white reflectance standard in terms of the perfect reflecting diffuse, T, has been discussed (34), as have diagnostic tiles for tristimulus colorimetry (35). A collaborative reference program is available on instmment performance (36). 

It is possible to relate observed scattered intensity to turbidity through knowledge of the geometry of the photometer but calibration with substance of known turbidity is common by practice. These substances include reflecting standards, colloidal suspensions, and simple liquids. Tungstosilicic acid, H4SiW12O40,... 

Checking for photometric linearity by the use of a set of transmittance or reflectance standards (e.g. Spectralon, carbon black mixtures). 

Checking for the absence of photometric noise by using a suitable reflectance standard (e.g. white reflective ceramic tiles or reflective thermoplastic resins, such as Teflon). The reflectance standard should be scanned in accordance with the recommendations of the spectrophotometer s manufacturer and peak-to-peak photometric noise calculated over a specified wavelength region. The amount of photometric noise should be consistent with the spectrophotometer specification. ... 

All ground state diffuse reflectance spectra were recorded using a Phillips PU8800 UV-Visible spectrophotometer equipped with an integrating sphere, interfaced to an Elonex PC-386SX computer. These ground state diffuse reflectance spectra were measured relative to a BaSC>4 white reflectance standard (Eastman Kodak Ltd.). 

Reflectance spectra are usually measured using a diffuse reflectance accessory with an integrating sphere attached to a spectrophotometer. Spectra are referenced against a reflectance standard, such as smoked MgO, barite or Halon powder. The latter is a commercial fluorocarbon that does not absorb water or suffer radiation damage as does MgO. Each of these standards is virtually free of spectral features in the wavelength range 0.3 to 2.5 pm. 

CW-EPR X-band measurements were performed on a Bruker ESP 300E Spectrometer at a temperature of 120 K. The CuHis complexes are paramagnetic due to the S=l/2 spin of the Cu " ion. Nitrogen physisorption was performed with a Micromeritics ASAP 2400 apparatus. Measurements were done at 77 K. Prior to the measurements the zeolite samples were degassed for 24 hours at 373 K in vacuum. Micropore volumes and pore size distributions were determined with standard BET and BJH theory. Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy of the CuHis complex encapsulated zeolite samples were taken on a Varian Cary 5 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer at room temperature. The DRS spectra were recorded against a halon white reflectance standard in... 

DIN 5033, Part 9 Colorimetry reflectance standard for colorimetry and photometry , 1982. 

From the data presented In Fig. 4, the level of random noise In the determination was estimated at 0.01 units for n and 0.05 units for k. The generally decreasing slope of the k spectrum between 2000 and 1300 cm may result from a minor systematic error In the measurement. Such an error could be caused by Increased scattering of IR radiation by the polymer sheet relative to that produced by the metallized optical flat used as a reflectance standard, or by minor misalignment of the sheet relative to the standard. 

A diffuse reflectance measurement begins with the collection of a reference scan. For samples deposited on reflective substrates, such as metallic molybdenum, the bare metal serves as a reference to account for any absorption in the metal itself. Samples deposited onto transparent substrates, such as a transparent conducting oxide deposited on glass (e.g., indium-tin oxide, or ITO), require the use of a white diffuse reflectance standard. This standard is often made from Ba2S04 or PTFE based material similar to, if not the same as, that used to coat the interior surface of the integrating sphere. The user places the standard against the open... 

The integrated intensities measured at 19 C were used to calculate the squares of the structure amplitudes F p (Table 1). The values of F P were converted to absolute units by measuring the intensity of the primary peak (Iq) and comparing it with the intensities of the reflections. Standard attenuation filters were used in the measurements of the primary peak Intensity. 

The Curriculum Policy statement provided by the county, and health and safety statement provided by the school, both indicate an awareness of the need for safe practice in physical education. These documents reflect standard practices adopted by many other counties in England. These policies reflect National Curriculum Orders and the safe practice guidance provided by BAALPE. 

The optical configurations of the reflection probes utilized are shown in Figure 2. Notice that several fibers/detectors are used to facilitate obtaining the information on the system and to eliminate the reflectance standard. This is accomplished by defining the ratio of the intensities (raw data from the spectrometer) between the nearest and the distal fibers from delivering fiber." ... 

Fig. 14. Angular dependence of the reflected light intensity in the plane of incidence from a MgO reflectance standard (thin line) and an internal reflector in a guest-host cell (heavy line). Collimated white light is incident to both samples at -45 . Arrows denote specular reflection from front surface of display cell.

The angular dependence of a white MgO reflectance standard Is Illustrated for comparison. For these measurements the angle of Incidence of a narrow beam of collimated white light was fixed at -45 and the reflected Intensity was measured as a function of angle In the plane of Incidence. The HgO reflectance curve Is nearly a semicircle, Indicating Lambertian behavior. The Internal reflector, on the other hand, has a maximum at the specular angle with a gain of about 2.2. The arrows In Fig. 14 Indicate the specular reflection from the front surface of the display cell. 

For single-beam spheres without dummy ports in applications in which substitution error is a concern, the spheres can be calibrated with a set of standards such as one of Labsphere s Reflectance Standards Sets, which has been measured on a sphere without substitution error. With these standards, a table of measured versus actual readings can be generated and used to correct for substitution error (Fig. 9).
