Partial reflections at the iimer optical interfaces of the interferometer lead to so-called secondary and tertiary fringe patterns as can be seen from figure B 1.20.4. These additional FECO patterns become clearly visible if the reflectivity of the silver mirrors is reduced. Methods for analysis of such secondary and tertiary FECO patterns were developed to extract infonnation about the topography of non-unifonn substrates [54]. 

Electrical and Electronic Applications. Silver neodecanoate [62804-19-7] has been used in the preparation of a capacitor-end termination composition (110), lead and stannous neodecanoate have been used in circuit-board fabrication (111), and stannous neodecanoate has been used to form patterned semiconductive tin oxide films (112). The silver salt has also been used in the preparation of ceramic superconductors (113). Neodecanoate salts of barium, copper, yttrium, and europium have been used to prepare superconducting films and patterned thin-fHm superconductors. To prepare these materials, the metal salts are deposited on a substrate, then decomposed by heat to give the thin film (114—116) or by a focused beam (electron, ion, or laser) to give the patterned thin film (117,118). The resulting films exhibit superconductivity above Hquid nitrogen temperatures. 

Ethoxy-2-cyclohexenone has been prepared by reaction of the silver salt of dihydroresorcinol with ethyl iodide and by the reaction of dihydroresorcinol with ethyl orthoformate, ethanol and sulfuric acid." The acid-catalyzed reaction of dihydroresorcinol with ethanol in benzene solution utilized in this preparation is patterned after the procedure of Frank and Hall. ... 

Organometallic complexes of copper, silver, and gold are ideal precursors for carbene complexes along with some C- and N-coordinated species. Their reactivity pattern, in particular in oxidative addition reactions, was the most comprehensively studied. 

By x-ray diffraction it is possible to determine the geometric pattern in which atoms are arranged in a crystal and the distances between atoms. In a crystal of silver, four atoms effectively occupy the volume of a cube 0.409 nm on an edge. Taking the density of silver to be 10.5 g/cm3, calculate the number of atoms in one mole of silver ... 

Reference electrodes are usually a calomel or a silver-silver chloride electrode. It is advisable that these be of the double-junction pattern so that potassium chloride solution from the electrode does not contaminate the test solution. Thus, for example, in titrations involving glacial acetic acid as solvent, the outer vessel of the double junction calomel electrode may be filled with glacial acetic acid containing a little lithium perchlorate to improve the conductance. 

A possible layered precursor to the layered nanoproduct conversion mechanism is thus proposed. The silver clusters formed at the initial heating stage by the partial decomposition of AgSR serve as nuclei at further reaction stages, and their distribution naturally inherits the layered pattern of the precursor. The following growth is mainly controlled by the atom concentration and atom diffusion path, which are both constrained by the crystal structure of the precursor [9].
