The Electric Field Effects

The electric field is a crucial condition in microwave heating and the design of microwave ovens. If electric field distributions within empty microwave ovens are well known, the problem is totally different if loaded microwave ovens are considered. Perturbation theory can be used if the sample is very small. In fact, the magnitude of the perturbation is proportional to reactor-to-applicator volume ratio. The perturbation could be negligible if this ratio is close to 10 and most laboratory and industrial devices have higher ratios [120]. 

The wave equation of electromagnetic fields in the z direction is given by Maxwell s equations. The electric field takes the form given by Eq. (61)  

The problem is totally different for dielectric loss. The wave is attenuated as it traverses the medium and, therefore, the power dissipated is reduced to an even larger extent. Consequently, the propagation constant becomes complex as described by Eq. (63)  

The real and imaginary parts of the complex propagation constant are called attenuation factor (Np m ) and the phase factor (Rad m ), respectively. They are given by Eqs (64) and (65)  

The simplified version of the attenuation factor a for highly lossy media, for example metallic or ionic conductors, is given by Eq. (66)

Accuracies achieved by ECG are usually about 0.125 mm, although some claims have been made for accuracies an order of magnitude better. A drawback of ECG is the loss of accuracy when inside corners are ground. Because of the electric field effects, radii better than 0.25—0.375 mm can seldom be achieved. 

Generally speaking, the dissociation modes are established by photolysis, isotope studies, the electric field effect, and, to some extent, by special mass spectrometric methods. In addition, polymerization and isomerization studies have been helpful. 

From our experimental results and different models used in theoretical calculations using either CND0/2 (23-25, 37>38) and PCIL0 methods (26,27), or the electric field effect by IND0 finite perturbation theory (28), the following models can be supposed ... 

Dispersion interactions have been shown in the absence of other effects to be responsible for gas-to-liquid changes of chemical shifts 1>2). The dispersion contribution to the electric field effect on infrared and ultraviolet spectral transitions has been shown to be proportional to McRae term 10 n)... 

In summary, VH F demonstrates the same pattern of solvent dependence as does 2/h h. However, all the subtleties seem to be enhanced. Usually 2/H F decreases in solvents of higher dielectric strength, but an appropriate dipole orientation with respect to the H—C—F group can lead to the opposite result as is observed in vinyl fluoride. This situation is perhaps most likely to occur in mono-fluoro compounds where the fluorine is the principal contributor to the molecular dipole. In either case the electric field effect as postulated with the Pople expression for the contact term produces the correct prediction.

Polarity is another property that has been used to tabulate liquid phases. By polarity we mean the electrical field effect in the immediate vicinity of the molecule which depends on the number, nature and arrangement of the atoms and on the type of bond and the groups. Rohrschneider (30) introduced a polarity scale, P, which ranks solvents according to their polarity. 

The effect of nitrogen quaternization on the chemical shifts of several aporphine alkaloids was studied by Marsaioli et al. (39). The conversion of dicentrine (59) to its methiodide salt (60) caused deshielding of C-5 and C-6a whereas C-3a, C-4, C-7, C-7a, and C-llc were all shielded. The shielding of the aromatic carbon atoms may be caused by the electric field effect similar to that observed in nitrogen protonation (8, 12). C-4 and C-7 were most likely experiencing the y steric effect of the new methyl group. 

This peculiarity in the behavior of polarization of radiation under the electric field effect ought to be easily understood from an analysis of Eq. (5.14). As can be seen, the intensities of the two fluorescence components differ in the sign of the second term, which is proportional to (T2 + w+i)-1- the case of the Hanle effect at increase in magnetic field strength all increase, and the second term becomes... 

In all cases of electron transport, whether it be hopping, thermal emission, or quantum tunneling, the effect of the electric field in the oxide film is extremely important. In fact, the electric field effect on ion motion is the primary reason the electronic species must be considered at all in most real metal oxidation reactions. This can be understood better when we discuss the coupled-currents approach [10,11] in Sect. 1.15. 

It was previously demonstrated theoretically [1] and experimentally [2] that semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) show strong dependence of optical properties on an electric field. Chemically synthesized semiconductor nanorods also exhibit the electric field effects. For example, quantum-confined Stark effect and luminescence quenching of single nanorods were previously demonstrated [3-5]. Unlike QDs, the nanorods exhibit quantum confinement only in two dimensions. It is reasonable to assume that the electric field applied along a nanorod may result in the strong polarization dependence of photoluminescence (PL). In the present paper, we investigate the influence of an external electric field onto luminescent properties of chemically synthesized CdSe/ZnS nanorods. 

The curves in Fig. 1 demonstrate the decrease of PL intensity (quenching) and the red shift of PL maximum with the voltage increased. At the values of electrical field strength E up to 10 V/cm the PL of nanorods is quenched more than PL of QDs. However, the wavelength shift of PL maximum with applied electric field for nanorods increases very weak. Evidently, due to the elongated shape of nanorods, the external electric field effect may differ for S- and P-polarized PL. This property is important for application of this material in optoelectronic nanodevices. To understand reasons of the electric field effect difference between QDs and nanorods, the mechanism of nanorods PL quenching has to be studied. The quantum-confined Stark effect is probably not the single factor in force. 

A polar bond in a molecule generates an electric field that can have an appreciable value at the position of a nearby resonating nucleus. This electric field distorts the electronic structure around the nucleus and causes a deshielding by diminishing a. Unlike the inductive effect, the electric-field effect can be derived from a polar group that is many bonds removed from the resonating nucleus. For a significant value of ag, the polar bond must be reasonably close to the nucleus, but need not be in van der Waals contact. 

Molecule 3-25 provides an interesting example of the electric-field effect. 

To have a reasonable residence time in the column, an analyte must show some degree of compatibility (solubility) with the stationary phase. Here, the principle of like dissolves like applies, where like refers to the polarities of the analyte and the immobilized liquid. Polarity is the electrical field effect in the immediate vicinity of a molecule and is measured by the dipole moment of the species. Polar stationary phases contain functional groups such as —CN, —CO, and —OH. Hydrocarbon-type stationary phases and dialkyl siloxanes are nonpolar, whereas polyester phases are highly polar. Polar analytes include alcohols, acids, and amines solutes of medium polarity include ethers, ketones, and aldehydes. Samrated hydrocarbons are nonpolar. Generally, the polarity of the stationary phase should match that of the sample components. When the match is good, the order of elution is determined by the boiling point of the eluents. 

Nymand et al. ° performed molecular dynamics simulations on liquid water, and they used the electric field effect formalism [Eq. (6)] to explain the gas to liquid shifts of the and O nuclei. For the proton it turned out that the resulting gas to liquid shift of — 3.86 ppm at 300 K compared well with the experimental value of —4.70 ppm, whereas for O the method failed to reproduce the experiment. Even if electric field gradient terms are introduced, requiring additional quadrupolar shielding polarizabilities, no better results could be obtained for the O gas to liquid shifts. Isotropic proton chemical shifts are obviously a special case where many higher order terms cancel, hence it is justified to use the simple electric field equations in these chemical shift calculations. 

Molecules that have permanent dipole or quadrupole moments generate an electric field that induces an attractive response in nonpolar molecules by polarizing the nonpolar molecule so that it exhibits a temporary dipole. In fact, polar molecules can also have induced dipoles due to the electric field effect of another polar molecule in close proximity. The simplified expression for these induced intermolecular potential energies is... 

The intercavity inclusion as well as the possible orientation of naphthalene derivatives in the macrocycle (Chart I) was studied by the NMR complexation shifts (35), which were obtained simultaneously with the association constants by computer fit of the shift titration values. The observed complexation shifts agree with either a pseudoequatorial orientation or a mixture of axial and equatorial geometries (Chart II and Table III), if other than in earlier investigations (28), the electric field effects of the charged nitrogen atoms are taken into account in addition to the anisotropy effects of the aromatic cavity parts.
