The transition probabilities obtained due to the above two modified beat-ments of single-surface calculations need to be compared with those riansition probabilities obtained by two surface calculations that confirms the validity of these former heatments.

Single surface calculations with a vector potential in the adiabatic representation and two surface calculations in the diabatic representation with or without shifting the conical intersection from the origin are performed using Cartesian coordinates. As in the asymptotic region the two coordinates of the model represent a translational and a vibrational mode, respectively, the initial wave function for the ground state can be represented as. 

It is important to note that the two surface calculations will be carried out in the diabatic representation. One can get the initial diabatic wave function matrix for the two surface calculations using the above adiabatic initial wave function by the following orthogonal transformation,...

HCR and co-workers carried out a number of studies by employing 3D potential energy surfaces calculated by means of highly sophisticated ab initio approaches [88,91-101]. The results of these computations are in impressive agreement with the corresponding experimental findings. The discrepancies in the order of 100 wavenumbers, as in early ab initio studies [16,17], have been reduced in the HCR studies to only a few wavenumbers. In conclusion of their paper on the ( H ) system of NH2, Gabriel et al. state We believe... 

Similar to the case without consideration of the GP effect, the nuclear probability densities of Ai and A2 symmetries have threefold symmetry, while each component of E symmetry has twofold symmetry with respect to the line defined by (3 = 0. However, the nuclear probability density for the lowest E state has a higher symmetry, being cylindrical with an empty core. This is easyly understand since there is no potential barrier for pseudorotation in the upper sheet. Thus, the nuclear wave function can move freely all the way around the conical intersection. Note that the nuclear probability density vanishes at the conical intersection in the single-surface calculations as first noted by Mead [76] and generally proved by Varandas and Xu [77]. The nuclear probability density of the lowest state of Aj (A2) locates at regions where the lower sheet of the potential energy surface has A2 (Ai) symmetry in 5s. Note also that the Ai levels are raised up, and the A2 levels lowered down, while the order of the E levels has been altered by consideration of the GP effect. Such behavior is similar to that encountered for the trough states [11].

Furthermore, it must be remembered that highly disperse materials are, from their very nature, difficult to prepare with exactly reproducible surface properties, in respect of either the extent of the surface or the nature of the surface itself. Consequently, highly precise values of the absolute area of individual samples, even if attainable by some method as yet undeveloped, would be of little more value in practice than the BET specific surface, calculated from carefully measured isotherms.

The table convincingly demonstrates how the unsuspected presence of micropores can lead to an erroneous value of the specific surface calculated from a Type II isotherm by application of the standard BET procedure. According to the foregoing analysis, the external specific surface of the solid is 114m g" the micropore volume (from the vertical separation of isotherms A and E) is 105 mm g but since the average pore width is not precisely known, the area of the micropore walls cannot be calculated. Thus the BET figure of 360m g calculated from isotherm E represents merely an apparent and not a true surface area. 

Potential energy surfaces calculated by means of the London equation (5-15) cannot be highly accurate, but the results have been very useful in disclosing the general shape of the surface and the reaction coordinate. The London equation also forms the basis of some semiempirical methods.

An air stream at approximately atmospheric temperature and pressure and containing a low concentration of carbon disulphide vapour is flowing at 38 m/s through a series of 50 mm diameter tubes. The inside of the tubes is covered with a thin film of liquid and both heat and mass transfer are taking place between the gas stream and the liquid film. The film heat transfer coefficient is found to be 100 W/mzK. Using a pipe friction chan and assuming the tubes to behave as smooth surfaces, calculate ...

Often, JKR is used to calculate the spherical contact area at pull-off, and hence the number of interacting molecules can be calculated. One inconsistency with this method is that little attention is paid to the molecular arrangement on tip and surface. Calculations, for example, giving the area of interaction to cover two molecules, which is not physically possible for a spherical contact. A further inconsistency is the assumption that the pull-off represents all bonds breaking simultaneously, rather than as a discretely observable series of ruptures indicative of the variation in bond extension, which must occur under the tip.
