In another study of the physical behavior of soap-LSDA blends, Weil and Linfield [35] showed that the mechanism of action of such mixtures is based on a close association between the two components. In deionized water this association is mixed micellar. Surface tension curves confirm the presence of mixed micelles in deionized water and show a combination of optimum surface active properties, such as low CMC, high surface concentration, and low surface concentration above the CMC. Solubilization of high Krafft point soap by an LSDA and of a difficulty soluble LSDA by soap are related results of this association. Analysis of dispersions of soap-LSDA mixtures in hard water shows that the dispersed particles are mixtures of soap and LSDA in the same proportion as they were originally added. These findings are inconsistent with the view that soap reacts separately with hard water ions and that the resulting lime soap is suspended by surface adsorption of LSDA. The suspended particles are responsible for surface-active properties and detergency and do not permit deposits on washed fabric unlike those found after washing with soap alone. 

The dispersion curves of surface phonons of short wavelength are calculated by lattice dynamical methods. First, the equations of motion of the lattice atoms are set up in terms of the potential energy of the lattice. We assume that thejxitential energy (p can be expressed as a function of the atomic positions 5( I y in the semi-infinite crystal. The location of the nth atom can be...

Fig. 20. Surface ghonon dispersion curves of Cu(l 10) along the F X azimuth calculated for a 30-tayer slab with a = 8 the data points are from Fig. 15.

In Fig. 20 we show a theoretical dispersion plot using these parameters and a tensile stress = 2.7 x 10 dyn/cm. Due to the symmetry of the modes at X the stress tensor tpy does not affect the surface eigenmodes at this symmetry point. In addition, we have softened the intralayer force constant 4>ii in the first layer by about 10%. With these parameters, we find good agreement between experimental data and theoretical dispersion curves.

Detailed electronic energy-band calculations have revealed the existence of appropriate surface states near the Fermi energy, indicative of an electronically driven surface instability. Angle-resolved photoemission studies, however, showed that the Fermi surface is very curved and the nesting is far from perfect. Recently Wang and Weber have calculated the surface phonon dispersion curve of the unreconstructed clean W(100) surface based on the first principles energy-band calculations of Mattheis and Hamann. ...

With the advance of computing techniques classic LD programs have become more and more sophisticated. The PHONON program, provided from Daresbury Laboratory [69], is one such excellent example. PHONON uses the quasi-harmonic approximation and has a wide range of two body potentials embodied in the code. In addition, angular three-body bending potentials, four-body torsion potentials are also included. The program has been widely used for simulations of a variety of properties, such as dispersion curves, defects and surface phonons of crystalline and amorphous materials.

Surface charging curves similar to those presented in Figure 1.1 are obtained in two steps. A dispersion containing a known amount of solid and a known amount of inert electrolyte is stirred (usually in a thermostated vessel, under an atmosphere of inert gas), and its pH is recorded. Small volumes of acid or base solution are added in pre-assumed time intervals or once the pH has reached a stable value (according to a certain criterion) after the previous addition. The titration is continued until a pre-assumed pH value is reached. Potentiometric titrations of dispersions produce plots of pH (the stable value or just before an addition of the...

The study of the one-phonon density of states of crystals has shown the existence of singularities corresponding to critical points (CPs) located within or at the surface of the BZs along particular directions (the BZs for diamond and sphalerite structures are the same as the one shown in Fig. B2 of Appendix B). They arise from the topology of the ujt (q) dispersion curves, where the index t refers to a given phonon branch. It can be shown that the density of vibrational state g (uj) can be written as ...
