Structure oscillating

With certain critical Pco/Poi ratios, structural oscillations can be observed [306]. Patterns of stationary and/or traveling waves can actually be seen by means of photoemission electron microscopy (see Ref. 313, and note Section XVIII-7B. Such behavior can be modeled mathematically (e.g.. Refs. 214, 314). 

First qualitative analyses of the Fourier transformations (FTs) of the respective EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) oscillations of the reference compounds (figure 6) show peaks up to 5.5 A while the incorporated transition metal oxides A and B show only peaks up to 3.3 A. A comparison of the first shell (oxygen shell) between 1 and 2 A shows no difference in the magnitude for the reference CoFe2C>4 and the products A and B. In contrast, the higher shells, which represent the metal-metal distances, are strongly reduced for the products A and B compared to the bulk reference compounds, which is another indication for small particles within the pores. Further quantitative EXAFS analyses are currently in progress.

The structure oscillates in between critical CO pressure, which depends on the surface. The oxidation of CO on platinum is well established by the classical Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. 

In a recent photoionization measurement of Au L-subshell cross sections in the regime of the L edges agreement between experiment and theory was found within 2%, which is less than the expected experimental uncertainty (Figure 10). The experimental uncertainty partly arises from the use of a solid Au sample the absorption spectrum of solid Au exhibits fine structure oscillations which have not been taken into account in the data evaluation. The energy dependences of the Ly- and L2-subshell cross sections as predicted by theory are rather similar. For the Ly cross section the experimental slope is in agreement with theory, whereas there is indication that for the L2 cross section the experimental slope differs from the theoretical prediction. A possible explanation for the observed deviation is... 

Active Damping and Reduction of Structural Oscillations. Under this heading, the research groups develop fundamental concepts of optimized positioning and integrating adaptronic components (actuators, sensors) in machine tool structures. Research focuses on approaches and implementations that will reduce structure-born noise by means of control techniques.

Concerning open spatial reactors, a first approach was provided by the so-called Couette flow reactor . In this quasi-one-dimensionalreactor, the transport is ensured by turbulent diffusion. Fresh reagents permanently renewed at each end allow the system to be maintained at a controlled distance from equilibrium. When operated in this reactor, the CIMA reaction lead to various spatio-temporal structures (oscillating fronts) as well as to a nontrivial stationary spatial structure (three stationary fronts) [58, 59]. However, this is... 

The most noteworthy prediction of the PC theory was the potential of mean force for model methane pairs in water (Figure 5). This was the first molecularly realistic prediction of a potential of mean force between hydrophobic spheres in water. It showed structural oscillations that are natural features of these functions in simpler liquids a solvent-separated minimum free energy configuration, a thermally substantial barrier to desolvation, and a free energy minimum at contact of the two methane molecules. These qualitative features of the potential of mean force between spherical hydrophobic solutes have subsequently been observed in simulation many times. The result shown in Figure 5 was produced with the two-moment ITM, is substantially the same as the prediction of PC, and is in good agreement with the available computer simulation data. 

Furthermore, giving an initial condition in displacement proportional to the j-th modes with zero velocity, the structure oscillates maintaining the shape of the given modes with circular frequency equal to coj.
