Scattering spectroscopy

Eqnation (B3.4.1) is general and applies to both scattering and bonnd state spectroscopy. Scattering will be considered first. For shnplicity, the discnssion rises the collinear model for the A -l- BC AB -l- C reaction (i.e. assuming all particles lie on a line). This model is easy to visualize and embodies most elements of tlnee-dimensional (3D) scattering of larger molecules.

A significant challenge in using vibrational spectroscopy for explosive detection (especially in the vapor phase) arises because of the combination of low vapor pressures and relatively low cross-section for absorption in the IR and the low scattering cross-section for Raman spectroscopy. For example, typical peak absorption cross-sections, a, for the NOz stretching modes are near 1 x 106 cm2/mole in the IR (for comparison, peak UV absorption cross-sections for TNT approach 50 x 106 cm2/mole). For Raman spectroscopy, scattering cross-sections in the UV may approach 1 x 10 2 cm2/mole [3,7],...

Information about the various parameters (/ e, ii, km,..., Dq, and a) comes primarily from spectroscopy, scattering or kinetics experiments, and quantum macha-nical electronic structure calculations. These are also the sources for information about potential energy surfaces of systems with three or more atoms.

As written in the introduction, numerous examples of specific ion effects are known, and nearly every day, new ones are published. It is almost impossible to give a complete list of them. However, most of them can be classified into a few categories, for example ion effects in simple solutions and in complex mixtures, near flat and well-defined surfaces, or near macromolecules such as proteins. To further classify according to the respective systems, the effects can be subdivided into the experimentally observed quantities such as thermodynamics, transport properties, and kinetics, or into the methods used to deduce specific ion effects such as macroscopic probes, spectroscopy, scattering, etc.

The scattering techniques, dynamic light scattering or photon correlation spectroscopy involve measurement of the fluctuations in light intensity due to density fluctuations in the sample, in this case from the capillary wave motion. The light scattered from thermal capillary waves contains two observables. The Doppler-shifted peak propagates at a rate such that its frequency follows Eq. IV-28 and...

The polymer concentration profile has been measured by small-angle neutron scattering from polymers adsorbed onto colloidal particles [70,71] or porous media [72] and from flat surfaces with neutron reflectivity [73] and optical reflectometry [74]. The fraction of segments bound to the solid surface is nicely revealed in NMR studies [75], infrared spectroscopy [76], and electron spin resonance [77]. An example of the concentration profile obtained by inverting neutron scattering measurements appears in Fig. XI-7, showing a typical surface volume fraction of 0.25 and layer thickness of 10-15 nm. The profile decays rapidly and monotonically but does not exhibit power-law scaling [70]. 

Foam rheology has been a challenging area of research of interest for the yield behavior and stick-slip flow behavior (see the review by Kraynik [229]). Recent studies by Durian and co-workers combine simulations [230] and a dynamic light scattering technique suited to turbid systems [231], diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS), to characterize coarsening and shear-induced rearrangements in foams. The dynamics follow stick-slip behavior similar to that found in earthquake faults and friction (see Section XU-2D).

A comprehensive discussion of wavepackets, classical-quantum correspondence, optical spectroscopy, coherent control and reactive scattering from a unified, time dependent perspective. 

Electrons are extremely usefiil as surface probes because the distances that they travel within a solid before scattering are rather short. This implies that any electrons that are created deep within a sample do not escape into vacuum. Any technique that relies on measurements of low-energy electrons emitted from a solid therefore provides infonuation from just the outenuost few atomic layers. Because of this inlierent surface sensitivity, the various electron spectroscopies are probably the most usefid and popular teclmiques in surface science. 

Electrons interact with solid surfaces by elastic and inelastic scattering, and these interactions are employed in electron spectroscopy. For example, electrons that elastically scatter will diffract from a single-crystal lattice. The diffraction pattern can be used as a means of stnictural detenuination, as in FEED. Electrons scatter inelastically by inducing electronic and vibrational excitations in the surface region. These losses fonu the basis of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). An incident electron can also knock out an iimer-shell, or core, electron from an atom in the solid that will, in turn, initiate an Auger process. Electrons can also be used to induce stimulated desorption, as described in section Al.7.5.6.
