Figures 5, 6 and 7 represent various computer simulations pertaining to the FDCS for electrons emitted into the scattering plane in 3.6 MeV amu Au24+,53+ i jjg collisions. The experimental results are absolute with the theoretical data normalized to them. The results are shown in the form of polar plots with the FDCS plotted as polar radial functions of the scattering (polar) angle. The figures contain six different models, each of which has been labelled for discussion. The top left (a) is FBA, top middle (b) is CDW-EfS, without internuclear potential, top right (c) CDW-EfS+nn. The bottom left (d) is CDW-EfS with RffF wavefunctions (CDW-EfS+RHF),...

The first tests of this proposed method have been encouraging. On the basis of comparisons between rainfall rates measured with the differential reflectivity technique and with a network of rain gauges, Seliga et al. (1981) concluded that these first measurements of rainfall using the ZDR technique support the theoretical expectations... that rainfall rate measurements with radar can be made with good accuracy. So it may yet be possible to accurately measure rainfall with radar—provided that measurements are made with two orthogonally polarized beams. This exemplifies one of the principal themes of this book scattered polarized radiation contains information that may be put to good use. 

The x-ray scattering intensities for kerogen and trona acids were obtained with an XRD-5 diffractometer using zirconium-filtered Mo K alpha radiation. The experimental x-ray intensities were corrected for air scattering, polarization, and absorption and then converted, using data from chemical analysis, to express the scattering per carbon atom. 

The experimental data were corrected for air scattering, polarization, absorption and Compton scattering applying well-known correction procedures (for example [15], [16]). Then the data were transformed into q-space using...

Treatment of Experimental Values. The experimental values are corrected for air scattering, polarization, but absorbtion - geometric (Lorentz) corrections are not made. After the variable 20 is transformed into s = 2 sin 6, the experimental curves are normalized, in electronic units, by adjustment to a theoretical curve. Theoretical curves (total scattering power, summing up coherent and incoherent scatterings) are calculated from the stoichiometric composition of polymers. 

This term is normally combined with the atomic scattering polarization term ... 

Then, within the impulsive limit, carrying out the double integration involved in the calculation of p 4 (r, t) and using Equation (4), we find the amplitude of the direct fifth-order off-resonant scattering polarization ... 

A simple light scattering photometer was designed, to measure the angular distribution of intensity of scattered, polarized, He/Ne light, by micron and sub-micron particles [186]. The photometer used an ellipsoidal reflector and simple optical components to collect the scattered light and focus it on a 512 element photodiode array. 

Thus there is no scattered neutron polarization for an unpolarized incident beam. For a polarized beam, the scattered polarization is in the direction of the scattering vector. The partial cross sections per atom are [cf. (3.23)]... 

Fig. 9.22 (Left) Raman spectra and (right) polar plot of the intensities of the G and G peaks as functions of 0, measured with an analyzer selecting scattered polarization along the strain axis Sout = 0- The polar data are fitted to Iq- oc sin (0i + 34°) and/< + oc cos (0j + 34°), which gives = 11.3° [18]...

FIG U RE 14.1 Geometry of scattering for an incident wave from the negative x-axis with propagation direction defined by the incident wave vector k. and with polarization (pol.) parallel to z. Light is scattered to the detector in the direction of the scattering wave vector k. Scattered polarization will be in the direction of the projection of the incident polarization onto the plane p, which is perpendicular to the detector direction. 

The additional components for achieving a PFS measurement are polarizing optics for manipulating both the illumination and scattered polarization states a polarizing beam splitter for directing orthogonal states into two detectors, and a means of forming three polarization-sensitive intensity correlation functions. 

By inserting the series (9) into Eq. (8), writing the same series for the incident wave with the initial polarization v and scattered polarization p, and... 

The longitudinal Brillouin spectrum appears when both the incident and scattered light are polarized vertically with respect to the scattering plane (/vv) The transverse Brillouin spectrum results when the incident polarization is perpendicular to the scattered polarization (Ihv =1vh). 

While the first paper on liquid crystalline elastomers [30] already reports the detection of a cholesteric-isotropic transition using differential calorimetry and polarizing microscopy, comparatively little work has been done to characterize thy physical properties in the vicinity of this phase transition (compare, however, also the discussion of electromechanical effects in the next section) [9, 30, 31]. Combined liquid crystalline elastomers have been synthesized and various of these materials show a cholesteric-isotropic transition using X-ray scattering, polarizing microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry [31]. Dynamic mechanical investigations have been carried... 

Three main types of nondestructive spectroscopic techniques are commonly used absorption, emission, and physical techniques based on the modification of rays of electromagnetic energy (refraction, scattering, polarization, and refraction). 

In the case of a molecule that is free to explore a wide range of orientations rapidly, compared with the lifetime of the excited state, the emission will be essentially depolarized and r = 0 since fy = However, if the molecule experiences some degree of hindered rotation or alignment, r will be non-zero. For completely polarized light, for example scattered polarized laser light, r = 1. Note that the absorption and emission dipoles for typical fluorophores are never perfectly parallel and so some degree of depolarization is intrinsic even for a rota-tionally frozen molecule (hence the use of scattered light in this example).
