But what does the Sun provide us with in the way of measurable quantities How can we guarantee the veracity of our model stars The key quantities all concern the surface intrinsic brightness, radius and effective temperature, that is, the temperature of the equivalent blackbody. But new constraints have now been added to this visible data, this time directly affecting the depths of our great star. These are the neutrino flux and global oscillations of the Sun s great body. 

Such controlling factors are matched by complementary properties of the solid surface, i.e., the hydrophobic or hydrophilic surface character, porosity and topology, charge, hydration, and the presence and composition of surface groups. Particularly for electrochemical surfaces intrinsic catalytic reactivity of the surface groups formed spontaneously or by po-tentiostatic control also follow. Both in the context of electrochemical protein reactivity, and in the broader areas of proteins at surfaces, surface control and modification to structural and functional compatibility with the proteins are key issues. The use of electrochemical promoters, illustrated below, is one such example [32-34].

Regardless of the microscopic phenomena, protonic conductivity is critically sensitive to the water content inside crystals and on their surface. Intrinsically nonconductive materials may apparently exhibit proton transport in wet environments due to adsorbed and/or condensed water. Consequently, numerous reports on the conductivity of compacted powders at 90-100% relative humidity, when vapor condensation in pores cannot be avoided, are excluded from consideration. Heating or cooling may cause H2O loss or uptake from the atmosphere, thus altering the conditions for proton transport in crystals. In such situations, the apparent found...

In the presence of intraparticle diffusion effects, the observed rate differs from the surface intrinsic rate which is controlled only by the reaction kinetics. Therefore, the rate must be corrected by the effectiveness factor rj. 

In addition to polymer degradation, surface contamination constitutes an issue for applications in which the surface state must be well controlled and, also, for polymer surface processing. Polymeric materials are almost never pure and, often, their surfaces are contaminated. The contamination can be caused by the migration of unstable components toward the surface (intrinsic) or by the improper sample handling and storage (extrinsic). SIMS analysis is especially appropriate for the monitoring of all these processes. 

When reaction and adsorption take place in porous particles, chromatographic measurement may give surface intrinsic reaction rate properties separately from adsorption properties. The theoretical development based on this idea was proposed by Suzuki and Smith (1971 d). The treatment is rather complex but may become useful by selecting a system where the effects of some of the transport processes may be negligible. 

This effect assumes importance only at very small radii, but it has some applications in the treatment of nucleation theory where the excess surface energy of small clusters is involved (see Section IX-2). An intrinsic difficulty with equations such as 111-20 is that the treatment, if not modelistic and hence partly empirical, assumes a continuous medium, yet the effect does not become important until curvature comparable to molecular dimensions is reached. Fisher and Israelachvili [24] measured the force due to the Laplace pressure for a pendular ring of liquid between crossed mica cylinders and concluded that for several organic liquids the effective surface tension remained unchanged... 

In many cases, however, well-designed catalysts provide intrinsically different reaction paths, and the specific nature of the catalyst surface can be quite important. This is clearly the case with unimolecular reactions for which the surface concentration effect is not applicable. 

A great deal of tax money is spent in support of fundamental research, and this is often defended as having an intrinsic virtue. To take the present topic as an example, however, the study of just how molecules adsorb and react on a surface is fascinating and challenging, yet the tax-paying public should not be asked merely to support the esoteric pleasures of a privileged few. The public should expect the occasional major practical advance whose benefits more than pay for the overall cost of all research. The benefits in the present case come from the discovery and development of catalytic processes of major importance to an industrial society. 

For many studies of single-crystal surfaces, it is sufficient to consider the surface as consisting of a single domain of a unifonn, well ordered atomic structure based on a particular low-Miller-mdex orientation. However, real materials are not so flawless. It is therefore usefril to consider how real surfaces differ from the ideal case, so that the behaviour that is intrinsic to a single domain of the well ordered orientation can be distinguished from tliat caused by defects. 

Surface states can be divided into those that are intrinsic to a well ordered crystal surface with two-dimensional periodicity, and those that are extrinsic [25]. Intrinsic states include those that are associated with relaxation and reconstruction. Note, however, that even in a bulk-tenuinated surface, the outemiost atoms are in a different electronic enviromuent than the substrate atoms, which can also lead to intrinsic surface states. Extrinsic surface states are associated with imperfections in the perfect order of the surface region. Extrinsic states can also be fomied by an adsorbate, as discussed below. 

Note that in core-level photoelectron spectroscopy, it is often found that the surface atoms have a different binding energy than the bulk atoms. These are called surface core-level shifts (SCLS), and should not be confiised with intrinsic surface states. Au SCLS is observed because the atom is in a chemically different enviromuent than the bulk atoms, but the core-level state that is being monitored is one that is present in all of the atoms in the material. A surface state, on the other hand, exists only at the particular surface. 

Taking advantage of the intrinsic physical and chemical differences of surfaces introduced by the discontinuity of the bulk enviromuent. Specifically, most solids display specific structural relaxations and reconstructions, surface... 

Atom-surface interactions are intrinsically many-body problems which are known to have no analytical solutions. Due to the shorter de Broglie wavelengdi of an energetic ion than solid interatomic spacings, the energetic atom-surface interaction problem can be treated by classical mechanics. In the classical mechanical... 

It can be seen from Table 2 that the intrinsic values of the pK s are close to the model compound value that we use for Cys(8.3), and that interactions with surrounding titratable residues are responsible for the final apparent values of the ionization constants. It can also be seen that the best agreement with the experimental value is obtained for the YPT structure suplemented with the 27 N-terminal amino acids, although both the original YPT structure and the one with the crystal water molecule give values close to the experimentally determined one. Minimization, however, makes the agreement worse, probably because it w s done without the presence of any solvent molecules, which are important for the residues on the surface of the protein. For the YTS structure, which refers to the protein crystallized with an SO4 ion, the results with and without the ion included in the calculations, arc far from the experimental value. This may indicate that con-...

In all of these derivations concerning rigid bodies, no other walls are considered except the particle surfaces. Before we turn to the question of the intrinsic viscosity of flexible polymers, let us consider the relationship between the viscosity of a fluid and the geometry and dimensions of the container in which it is measured.
