Static bond charges

The bond charge parameter formulation developed by Van Straten and Smit [92] describes infi-ared intensities in terms of static bond charges and bond charge fluxes induced by vibrational distortions. In the mathematical procedure many common features with the )paratus of the valence-optical theory are present. 

Bonding and grounding should be provided to minimize the accumulation of static electrical charges in the liquid. The integrity of the grounding conductors and connectors should be inspected annually. The integrity of the bonding system should be inspected before each use.

The dashed line correspond to the static (ionic) charge [12]...

Apart from purely electronic effects, an asymmetric nuclear relaxation in the electric field can also contribute to the first hyperpolarizability in processes that are partly induced by a static field, such as the Pockels effect [55, 56], and much attention is currently devoted to the study of the vibrational hyperpolarizability, can be deduced from experimental data in two different ways [57, 58], and a review of the theoretical calculations of p, is given in Refs. [59] and [60]. The numerical value of the static P is often similar to that of static electronic hyperpolarizabilities, and this was rationalized with a two-state valence-bond charge transfer model. Recent ab-initio computational tests have shown, however, that this model is not always adequate and that a direct correlation between static electronic and vibrational hyperpolarizabilities does not exist [61].

Electrical conduchvity and grounding To drain off static electric charges due to material flow can include bonding across joints, electrically conductive bags for bag filters, grounding for electrically isolated metal objects within the system, and wire braid within rubber-covered transfer hoses. 

The VSEPR model is based upon Lewis structures which assume that all valence electrons are paired and a chemical bond requires two electrons. The model is limited to simple compounds of the main group elements (s- and p-blocks) and some transition metal ions (those with d° and d configurations). It can only predict exact bond angles for molecules with no lone pairs. It is theoretically unsatisfactory since electrons do not behave as static point charges and it provides no information about the stability of molecules. However, VSEPR theory is a simple and powerful model that satisfactorily predicts and explains the shapes of a large number of molecules and ions from the s- and p-blocks. 

When polyelectrolytes with differing charges are mixed under appropriate conditions, molecular assemblies via static interactions are formed (Fig. 5(a)) [37], and these will become the crosslink points to form polyelectrolyte complex gels [38]. The characteristics of crosslinking by static bonding are (1) the bond strength is as high as 10-100 kcal/mol (2) it is... 

Finally, the whole system (molecule + metal nanoparticle) can be treated atomistically via TD-DFT or other quantum chemical methods. The interaction between the metal nanoparticle and the molecule are treated on the same foot as the intra-molecule and intra-nanoparticle ones. This method is therefore able to include much more than just the electrodynamics coupling, as it can include mutual polarization, chemical bonding, charge transfers (also in excited states). On the down side, at present this approach is limited to very small metal particles (a few tens of atoms, a few nm in size). Moreover, electrodynamics coupling is limited to the quasi-static limit, as standard molecular Hamiltonian includes only non-retarded Coulombic potential. Nevertheless, this method represents a fully ab initio approach to molecular plasmonics.

The membrane is usually made from one of several materials. Woven polyester or cotton, the most commonly used and least expensive material, is adequate for temperatures up to 150°C. Siatered plastic is used where a low cost, washable surface is desired. This material is temperature limited by the polymer material to about 60°C and the flow of some powders may cause a static charge build-up on the membrane that could be hazardous ia some operatioas. Wovea fiberglass fabric or porous ceramic block is used for temperatures up to about 425°C. Siatered stainless steel powder or bonded stainless mesh is used for corrosion resistance, and for temperatures up to 530 to 650°C. Additional information can be found ia the Hterature (38,39). 

These do not pose a recognized static hazard if the curtain device and all equipment that could be electrically charged during operation is bonded and grounded [45,46].
