Optimal sample volume depends upon the cavity used. As the frequency is lowered, the dimensions of the standard rectangular cavity increase, until at 3.4 GHz the optimum sample volume is 5.0 ml. Fortunately, the loop-gap resonator structure (discussed in the next section of this chapter) reduces the optimum sample volume at 

The pattern of 1-4-10-16-19-16-10-4-1 is that expected for four equivalent nitrogen donor atoms presumably from nitrogens in the imidazole ring. 

Only one cupric signal has been observed for blue copper complexes using low frequency ESR [265]. In the ESR spectrum of cytochrome c oxidase, seven lines attributed to hyperfine structure in the and gy regions were evident. The g region was not resolved.

Synthetic gemstone materials often have multiple uses. Synthetic mby and colodess sapphire are used for watch bearings, unscratchable watch crystals, and bar-code reader windows. Synthetic quartz oscillators are used for precision time-keeping, citizen s band radio (CB) crystals, and filters. Synthetic mby, emerald, and garnets are used for masers and lasers (qv). 

The remaining class depicted in Figure 2 is that of soHd-state devices, ie, transistors, various types of semiconductor diode amplifiers, etc. At frequencies below 1 GHz, generation of hundreds or even at the lower frequencies, kilowatts, is feasible by soHd state. Above 1 GHz power capabiHty of soHd-state sources drops. Development of efficient (- 50%) sources at about the 50 W level at S-band (2 GHz) has been demonstrated. It is reasonable to expect soHd-state sources to replace tubes for low frequency and low (<100 W) power appHcations (52). For high power or high frequency, however, tube sources should continue to prevail. 

Copper Sulfide—Cadmium Sulfide. This thin-film solar cell was used in early aerospace experiments dating back to 1955. The Cu S band gap is ca 1.2 eV. Various methods of fabricating thin-film solar cells from Cu S/CdS materials exist. The most common method is based on a simple process of serially overcoating a metal substrate, eg, copper (16). The substrate first is coated with zinc which serves as an ohmic contact between the copper and a 30-p.m thick, vapor-deposited layer of polycrystaUine CdS. A layer is then formed on the CdS base by dipping the unit into hot cuprous chloride, followed by heat-treating it in air. A heterojunction then exists between the CdS and Cu S layers. 

The changes in the optical absorption spectra of conducting polymers can be monitored using optoelectrochemical techniques. The optical spectmm of a thin polymer film, mounted on a transparent electrode, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass, is recorded. The cell is fitted with a counter and reference electrode so that the potential at the polymer-coated electrode can be controlled electrochemically. The absorption spectmm is recorded as a function of electrode potential, and the evolution of the polymer s band stmcture can be observed as it changes from insulating to conducting (11). 

Although the power spectral density contains information about the surface roughness, it is often convenient to describe the surface roughness in terms of a single number or quantity. The most commonly used surface-finish parameter is the root-mean-squared (rms) roughness a. The rms roughness is given in terms of the instrument s band width and modulation transfer function, M(p, q) as...

Kinetics recorded at the maxima of the Sj-S bands, monitoring dynamics of the lowest excited state, have revealed further differences, Figure 8.8. Although monoexponential decays have been observed for monomeric carotenoids (9ps for zeaxanthin and 24 ps for ACOA), aggregates exhibit more complicated decay patterns. The Sx decay of the H-aggregate requires at least four decay... 

Much less is known about excited-state dynamics of carotenoid J-aggregates, as only zeaxanthin J-aggregates have been studied to date. Only two decay components of -5 and 30ps were needed to fit the kinetics recorded at the maximum of the Sj-S band, Figure 8.8. Since no annihilation studies were carried out, the origin of these components is not known. It is likely that the 5ps lifetime is due to annihilation whereas the 30 ps component corresponds to the. S, lifetime, which is even longer than that of the H-aggregates.

In addition to studying core levels, XPS can also be used to image the valence band. Figure 3.6 shows valence band spectra of Rh and Ag. The step at Eb=0 corresponds to the Fermi level, the highest occupied electron level. Figure 3.6 illustrates that the Fermi level of rhodium lies in the d-band where the density of states is high, whereas the Fermi level of silver, with its completely filled d-band, falls in the s-band, where the density of states is low (see also the Appendix). 

Figure 3.6 XPS spectra of the valence bands of rhodium and silver. The Fermi level, the highest occupied level of a metal, is taken as the zero of the binding energy scale. Rhodium is a d-metal, meaning that the Fermi level lies in the d-band, where the density of states is high. Silver, on the other hand, is an s-metal. The d-band is completely filled and the Fermi level lies in the s-band where the density of states is low. The onset of photoemission at the Fermi level can just be observed. 

For the Group VIII transition metals the d-band is partially filled and the Fermi level is in the d-band. The Group IB metals have a completely filled d-band and here the Fermi level falls above the d-levels in the s-band. Two trends in going from left to right through the metals in the periodic system are that the d-band becomes narrower and the Fermi level decreases with respect to the vacuum level. 

Obviously, chemisorption on d-metals needs a different description than chemisorption on a jellium metal. With the d-metals we must think in terms of a surface molecule with new molecular orbitals made up from d-levels of the metal and the orbitals of the adsorbate. These new levels interact with the s-band of the metal, similarly to the resonant level model. We start with the adsorption of an atom, in which only one atomic orbital is involved in chemisorption. Once the principle is clear, it is not difficult to invoke more orbitals.
