While the bending of homoleptic heavier group 2 acetylides, i.e., deviations in the Ca-Ca-Cp bond angle, in the solid state continues to promote interest in synthetic... 

L. The liquid-expanded, L phase is a two-dimensionally isotropic arrangement of amphiphiles. This is in the smectic A class of liquidlike in-plane structure. There is a continuing debate on how best to formulate an equation of state of the liquid-expanded monolayer. Such monolayers are fluid and coherent, yet the average intermolecular distance is much greater than for bulk liquids. A typical bulk liquid is perhaps 10% less dense than its corresponding solid state. 

Unlike the solid state, the liquid state cannot be characterized by a static description. In a liquid, bonds break and refomi continuously as a fiinction of time. The quantum states in the liquid are similar to those in amorphous solids in the sense that the system is also disordered. The liquid state can be quantified only by considering some ensemble averaging and using statistical measures. For example, consider an elemental liquid. Just as for amorphous solids, one can ask what is the distribution of atoms at a given distance from a reference atom on average, i.e. the radial distribution function or the pair correlation function can also be defined for a liquid. In scattering experiments on liquids, a structure factor is measured. The radial distribution fiinction, g r), is related to the stnicture factor, S q), by... 

M continually decreases under the influence of spin-spin relaxation which destroys the initial phase coherence of the spin motion within they z-plane. In solid-state TREPR, where large inliomogeneous EPR linewidths due to anisotropic magnetic interactions persist, the long-time behaviour of the spectrometer output, S(t), is given by... 

The essentially non-destmetive nature of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, combmed with the its ability to provide botli compositional and depth mfomiation, makes it an ideal analysis tool to study thm-film, solid-state reactions. In particular, the non-destmetive nature allows one to perfomi in situ RBS, thereby characterizing both the composition and thickness of fomied layers, without damaging the sample. Since only about two minutes of irradiation is needed to acquire a Rutherford backscattering spectmm, this may be done continuously to provide a real-time analysis of the reaction [6]. 

Isolated gas phase molecules are the simplest to treat computationally. Much, if not most, chemistry takes place in the liquid or solid state, however. To treat these condensed phases, you must simulate continuous, constant density, macroscopic conditions. The usual approach is to invoke periodic boundary conditions. These simulate a large system (order of 10 molecules) as a continuous replication in all directions of a small box. Only the molecules in the single small box are simulated and the other boxes are just copies of the single box. 

If the flash lamp is pulsed very rapidly, the emergent beam appears at a rate governed by the lifetime of the inverted population. The resulting laser beam becomes almost continuous because the pulses follow each other so rapidly. However, such a solid-state laser should not be pulsed too rapidly because, if it is, the rod heats to an unacceptable extent, causing distortion and even fracture. Generally, solid-state lasers are not used in continuous mode because of this heating aspect. Liquid or gas lasers do not suffer from this problem. 

The development of lasers has continued in the past few years and 1 have included discussions of two more in this edition. These are the alexandrite and titanium-sapphire lasers. Both are solid state and, unusually, tunable over quite wide wavelength ranges. The titanium-sapphire laser is probably the most promising for general use because of its wider range of tunability and the fact that it can be operated in a CW or pulsed mode. 

In addition to secondarv resistance control, other devices such as reactors and thyristors (solid-state controllable rectifiers) are used to control wound-rotor motors. Fixed secondary reactors combined with resistors can provide veiy constant accelerating torque with a minimum number of accelerating steps. The change in slip frequency with speed continually changes the effective reac tance and hence the value of resistance associated with the reactor. The secondaiy reactors, resistors, and contacts can be varied in design to provide the proper accelerating speed-torque curve for the protection of belt conveyors and similar loads. 

The orbitals and orbital energies produced by an atomic HF-Xa calculation differ in several ways from those produced by standard HF calculations. First of all, the Koopmans theorem is not valid and so the orbital energies do not give a direct estimate of the ionization energy. A key difference between standard HF and HF-Xa theories is the way we eoneeive the occupation number u. In standard HF theory, we deal with doubly oecupied, singly occupied and virtual orbitals for which v = 2, 1 and 0 respectively. In solid-state theory, it is eonventional to think about the oecupation number as a continuous variable that can take any value between 0 and 2.
