Scattering disk

The box models R and C discussed above were chosen for various reasons, (i) The two models are physical in the sense that actual realizations of the box systems can be built in the lab. Two billiard tables, one with and one without a scattering disk at the centre, are excellent first approximations. One may even think of manufacturing quasi-two-dimensional solid state structures in the shape of the boxes R and C, and studying the quantized states of electrons in these structures. In fact, very similar systems have already been built in the lab (see, e.g., Baranger et... 

The basic single-angle interval light-scattering method caimot accurately measure individual red blood cell or platelet volumes, but it can provide MCV and MPV. Red cells are bi-concave disks, and platelets ate rod to disk shaped Scattering intensities depend on the orientation in the flow cell. 

Fig. 3—Measurement of surface by HDI surface reflectance analyzer. In electromagnetic radiation (light), the polarization direction is defined as the direction of the electric field vector. The incident polarization of the light can be controlled. The instrument uses a variety of detectors to analyze the reflected polarization state of the light. (U.S. Patent 6,134,011). (a) Plane of the disk The SRA uses a fixed 60 degree (from the surface normal) angle of incidence. The plane of incidence is the same as the paper plane (b) Pit on a surface detected by reflected light channels of HDI instrument (c) Scratches on disk surface measured by HDI surface reflectance analyzer (d) Particles on the surface of disk detected by reflected light (black spot) and by scattered light (white spot) [8].

Transmission IR (TIR) spectroscopy if the solid in question is IR transparent over an appreciable range of wavelength. This is often used on supported metal catalysts, where the large metallic surface area permits a high concentration of adsorbed species to be sampled. The sample consist typically of 10-100 mg of catalyst, pressed into a self-supporting disk of approximately 1 cm2 and a few tenths of a mm in thickness. The support particles should be smaller than the wavelength of the IR radiation, otherwise scattering losses become important. 

Accretion Li abundances can be altered in two ways by accretion. During PMS Li depletion the additional mass will lead to increased Li depletion at a given Teff when the star reaches the ZAMS [26], If accretion occurs after Li-burning has ceased then the convective zone is enriched with Li. Too much accretion is required to be compatible with observations of disks around PMS stars unless the accreted material is H/He-deficient. But then accretion of sufficient H/He depleted material to explain the Li abundance scatter would also lead to (for instance) Fe abundance anomalies of order 0.2-0.3dex - much higher than allowed by current observational constraints [38]. 

In fact, with the help of Krein s trace formula, the quantum field theory calculation is mapped onto a quantum mechanical billiard problem of a point-particle scattered off a finite number of non-overlapping spheres or disks i.e. classically hyperbolic (or even chaotic) scattering systems. 

In this way, the geometry-dependent Casimir fluctuations can be extracted from the m//W/ /e-scattcri ng part of the scattering matrix. The determinant of the n-spherc/disk S-matrix can be separated into a product of the determinants of the 1-sphere/disk S-matrices S E, a,i), where a, are the radii of the single scatterers, and the ratio of the determinant of the multi-scattering matrix M(k) and its complex conjugate (A. Wirzba., 1999) ... 

Figure 5.8 A Debye-Scherrer powder camera for X-ray diffraction. The camera (a) consists of a long strip of photographic film fitted inside a disk. The sample (usually contained within a quartz capillary tube) is mounted vertically at the center of the camera and rotated slowly around its vertical axis. X-rays enter from the left, are scattered by the sample, and the undeflected part of the beam exits at the right. After about 24 hours the film is removed (b), and, following development, shows the diffraction pattern as a series of pairs of dark lines, symmetric about the exit slit. The diffraction angle (20) is measured from the film, and used to calculate the d spacings of the crystal from Bragg s law.

The zone axis coordinate system can be used for specifying the diffraction geometry the incident beam direction and crystal orientation. In this coordinate, an incident beam of wavevector K is specified by its tangential component on x-y plan = k x + k y, and its diffracted beam at Kt+gt, for small angle scatterings. For each point inside the CBED disk of g, the intensity is given by...
