Tensor anisotropic

In addition to DD/MAS NMR, the crystallnity of PE can be determined from the H-decoupled/CP NMR. Spectra consist of contributions from the different phases, which are differentiated by their shielding tensors (anisotropic chemical shift), as seen in Figure 12 (68). The crystalline fraction is estimated from the ratio of the area under the crystalline tensor to the total area.

The situation is more complex for rigid media (solids and glasses) and more complex fluids that is, for most materials. These materials have finite yield strengths, support shears and may be anisotropic. As samples, they usually do not relax to hydrostatic equilibrium during an experiment, even when surrounded by a hydrostatic pressure medium. For these materials, P should be replaced by a stress tensor, <3-j, and the appropriate thermodynamic equations are more complex. 

For cubic crystals, which iaclude sUicon, properties described by other than a zero- or a second-rank tensor are anisotropic (17). Thus, ia principle, whether or not a particular property is anisotropic can be predicted. There are some properties, however, for which the tensor rank is not known. In addition, ia very thin crystal sections, the crystal may have two-dimensional characteristics and exhibit a different symmetry from the bulk, three-dimensional crystal (18). Table 4 is a listing of various isotropic and anisotropic sUicon properties. Table 5 gives values for the more common physical properties and for some of the thermodynamic properties. Figure 5 shows some thermal properties. 

Another generalization uses referential (material) symmetric Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green strain tensors in place of the stress and strain tensors used in the small deformation theory. These tensors have components relative to a fixed reference configuration, and the theory of Section 5.2 carries over intact when small deformation quantities are replaced by their referential counterparts. The referential formulation has the advantage that tensor components do not change with relative rotation between the coordinate frame and the material, and it is relatively easy to construct specific constitutive functions for specific materials, even when they are anisotropic. 

The pressure is to be identified as the component of stress in the direction of wave propagation if the stress tensor is anisotropic (nonhydrostatic). Through application of Eqs. (2.1) for various experiments, high pressure stress-volume states are directly determined, and, with assumptions on thermal properties and temperature, equations of state can be determined from data analysis. As shown in Fig. 2.3, determination of individual stress-volume states for shock-compressed solids results in a set of single end state points characterized by a line connecting the shock state to the unshocked state. Thus, the observed stress-volume points, the Hugoniot, determined do not represent a stress-volume path for a continuous loading. 

More advanced models, for example the algebraic stress model (ASM) and the Reynolds stress model (RSM), are not based on the eddy-viscosity concept and can thus account for anisotropic turbulence thereby giving still better predictions of flows. In addition to the transport equations, however, the algebraic equations for the Reynolds stress tensor also have to be solved. These models are therefore computationally far more complex than simple closure models (Kuipers and van Swaaij, 1997). 

The electron-electron dipolar term, Ho, equals S1.D.S2. The tensor D is completely anisotropic and only mixes T-states with one another. It is therefore dropped. The nuclear Zeeman term, tlzi =... 

In liquid-state NMR spectroscopy only the isotropic component of the chemical shift tensor is measurable. Upon ahgnment the situahon changes and the so-called zz-component of the chemical shift tensor includes anisotropic components. 

Finally, it is noteworthy that in addition to the isotropic part of spin coupling as treated above, there may also be an anisotropic contribution due to the presence of anisotropic exchange [114] or dipole interaction [106]. In this case, the exchange coupling constant is replaced by a tensor... 

A t)tpical feature of the Mossbauer spectra of five- or six-coordinate iron(IV) with an axial oxo group (or a OCH3, a nitrido or a imido group) is a low isomer shift (+0.1 0.15 mm s ), a large and positive quadrupole splitting (1-2 mm s ), an anisotropic hyperfine coupling tensor with moderately large values for A x/gNl N and (—16 to —23 T) and a rather small value for A Jg i (0 to —10 T)... 

Some micro- and mesoporous materials exhibit anisotropic pore structures, which may yield different values for the diffusivities in the three orthogonal spatial directions. In such systems, the self-diffusion should be described by a diffusion tensor rather than by a single scalar self-diffusion coefficient. By measuring over a...
