INDEX Temperature dependence

In methacrylic ester polymers, the glass-transition temperature, is influenced primarily by the nature of the alcohol group as can be seen in Table 1. Below the the polymers are hard, brittle, and glass-like above the they are relatively soft, flexible, and mbbery. At even higher temperatures, depending on molecular weight, they flow and are tacky. Table 1 also contains typical values for the density, solubiHty parameter, and refractive index for various methacrylic homopolymers. 

Subscript i identifies species, and J is a dummy index all summations are over all species. Note that Xp however, when i = J, then Xu = = 1. In these equations / (a relative molecular volume) and (a relative molecular surface area) are pure-species parameters. The influence of temperature on g enters through the interaction parameters Xp of Eq. (4-261), which are temperature dependent ... 

The effects of temperature on the color development of the porous film in chlorobenzene were shown in Table 6 [23]. The coloration was reversible thermochromism. The refractive index of the materials generally decreases as the temperature increases, and the temperature dependence of the liquid is greater than that of the solid. For example, the temperature dependence (A/id/°C) of PVA and chlorobenzene was found to be 3.0 x 10 and 4.5 x 10" at 589.3 nm. Consequently, it is interpreted that the wavelength of the crosspoint between the dispersion curves of PVA and chlorobenzene shifts from the long side to the short side with increasing tem-... 

The temperature dependence of the mean-square-displacements of Au adatom in the normal to the surface direction is shown in Figure 4 for the three low-index faces of Cu. We note that up to 500"K the MSD s on the three different faces are almost equal, while at higher temperatures the vibrational amplitudes of Au on Cu(llO) present enhanced anharmonicity and become much larger than on the other faces. These results denote that... 

Figure 5. Temperature dependence of percentage relaxation of Au adatom on the low-index faces of Cu with respect to the bulk interlayer spacing.

We have studied the vibrational properties of Au adatoms on the low-index faces of copper. From the position of new phonon modes, which are due to the presence of the adatom, it comes out that the gold adatom is weakly coupled with the atoms of Cu(l 11) for the directions parallel to the surface and tightly bound with those of Cu(lOO). These modes are found in lower frequencies than those of the Cu adatom. The temperature dependence of MSD s and relaxed positions of the Au adatom along the normal to the surface direction, reveal that this atom is more tightly bound with the (111) face and less with the (110) face. 

As a measure of the stereoregularity, an index EQ-H% was defined as the precent of the equatorial acetal protons to the total acetal protons. Figure 2 illustrates the temperature dependence of EQ-H% s of the polymer obtained in toluene (A), methylene chloride (B), and 1-nitropropane (C). No significant difference is observed at...

The device has an all-glass structure and does not involve assembly of multiple components. As a result, we expect that the device will have very small temperature dependence. In addition, the open micronotch FP cavity allows prompt access to gas or liquid samples for direct refractive index measurement, making it possible to be used as an ultracompact chemical sensor based on refractive index measurement. 

The above measurement results also included the error contribution of the temperature cross-sensitivity of the device. From Fig. 7.11, the temperature dependence of the device was 0.074 nm °C Based on (7.6), the temperature crosssensitivity of the device was less than 3.2 x 10 6 RIU °C. Therefore, the total temperature cross-sensitivity-induced measurement error was about 2.8 x 10 4 RIU in Fig. 7.13 over the temperature variation of 87°C. The temperature dependence of the device was small and contributed only about 2.3% to the total refractive index variation over the entire temperature range. 

In 10 there a great variety of materials is used, and their optical constants may be affected e.g. by film deposition technologies. What is thus required is the access to data for material dispersion with relation to technological parameter as well, either as Sellmeier or related formula, or as tabulated values. Additionally, refractive indices respond to temperature, which may be intended for device operation in case of a TO-switch, or unintended in field use. The temperature dependence of the refractive index can be attributed to the individual material, simply, but the influence of heater electrodes needs special consideration. If an 10 design-tool comes with inherent TO or EO capabilities, those effects are taken into account in the optical design directly. 

The relaxation time required for the charge movement of electronic polarization E to reach equilibrium is extremely short (about 10 s) and this type of polarization is related to the square of the index of refraction. The relaxation time for atomic polarization A is about 10 s. The relaxation time for induced orientation polarization P is dependent on molecular structure and it is temperature-dependent. 

A more recent review of the properties of this material has been given by von Molnar and Penney (1985 see also von Molnar et al 1983, 1985). Results discussed in this article, involving the effects of disorder and electron-electron interaction, are described in Chapters 5 and 9. Briefly, the semiconductor-to-metal transition in an increasing magnetic field leads to a conductivity, at 300 mK, that increases linearly with H (von Molnar et al 1983). This is shown in Fig. 3.7. Hopping conduction is observed with an index indicating the influence of a Coulomb gap (Washburn et al 1984), and near the transition a temperature dependence of a as a+mT, with m positive (von Molnar et al 1985). 

Tg can be determined by studying the temperature dependence of a number of physical properties such as specific volume, refractive index, specific heat, etc. First-order transitions, such as the melting of crystals, give rise to an abrupt change or discontinuity in these properties. However, when a polymeric material undergoes a second-order transition, it is not the primary property (the volume), but its first derivative with respect to temperature, (the coefficient of expansion), which becomes discontinuous. This difference between a first and second-order transition is illustrated in Figure 10. 

The temperature dependence of the refractive index has been evaluated with the empirical Eykman equation ...
