Transits following

Quadratic synchronous transit followed by quasi-Newton. 

The kinetics and mechanisms of the C —> G transition in a concentrated solution of PS-fr-PI in the PS-selective solvent di-n-butyl phthalate was studied [137,149]. An epitaxially transformation of the shear-oriented C phase to G, as previously established in melts [13,50,150], was observed. For shallow quenches into G, the transition proceeds directly by a nucleation and growth process. For deeper quenches, a metastable intermediate structure appears, with scattering and rheological features consistent with the hexag-onally perforated layer (PL) state. The C -> G transition follows the same pathways, and at approximately the same rates, even when the initial C phase is not shear-oriented. 

Figure 4 Schematic representation of the populations of the nuclear spin energy levels of a quadrupolar nucleus with spin 5/2 (such as Mg) under a strong magnetic field and a perturbative quadrupole coupling showing (A) populations at thermal equilibrium, (B) populations after complete saturation of the satellite transitions, and (C) populations after complete inversion of the satellite transitions, following the order first, inversion of STl and ST4 and then inversion of ST2 and ST3. The numbers at left of each level (named pj in the text) are proportional to the population of that level, with —hVl/ 2k T= 0. ...

In the case of Poly(vinyl acetate) -Iodine complex, it has been reported that the complex suddenly disappears when the temperature is above the Tg of the polymer [57, 58]. In the PVA-Iodine complex, the amount of complex begins to decrease at the 20 °C transition, followed by a gradual decrease in a wide span of temperature. It should be remarked that this 20 °C transition, demonstrated by the beginning of the decrease in the amount of the complex in PVA films may be the same as that observed by Yokota et aL [26] in aqueous PVA/iodine-KI boric acid solutions. They studied the thermal stability of the blue complex in the solution to find that dissociation of polyiodine begins at 10-15 °C. Although our case is that of PVA bulk without boric add, while their case is that of solution with boric add, the difference is not substantial because the complex is... 

Quantities (26.1) and (26.2) may play the role of one-electron submatrix element in (26.7). In the next paragraph we shall see that formula (26.7) is valid for M/c-radiation as well, that is why the operator 0(k) has the subscripts e,m. Selection rules for this transition follow from the four triangle conditions y 2ky 3, 72 17, and JJ k for 67-coefficient... 

Fig. 11. DSC-trace of bis-(4 -n-octyloxybenzal)-l,4-phenylenediamine at 5 K/min. The lowest temperature transition is the fully ordered crystal-to-smectic transition, followed by four transitions between the five smectic polymorphs. Next is the smectic-nematic transition, followed by the nematic-to-isotropic liquid transition. Drawn after data by Petrie581...

Figure 15. Visual observation of polymorphic transition followed by redissolution of one enantiomer from the once formed crystals during crystallization from the supersaturated EtOH solution of nearly racemic NNMe3 (0.1 mol/L) (a) 15 min and (b) 60 min after crystallization began.

Figure 5.7 Spectrum of electrons ejected from magnesium atoms after interaction with 80 eV photons (measured at the quasi-magic angle in order to allow the extraction of relative intensities). The 3s and 2p photolines are shown together with their satellites and the radiationless transitions following the 2p main and satellite processes, i.e.,...

The most remarkable and central observation of these experiments is the direct characterization of the emission kinetic curves for the T[, 0 and 0° transitions and the observation of the 10b transition following excitation at T7 of the aniline(N2)1 cluster (see Figure 5-7). The pumped state, an intermediate state populated by IVR, and two bare molecule product states populated by the IVR/VP process are observed. These data are consistent with, and therefore provide strong evidence in support of, the serial IVR/VP mechanism applied to clusters containing a polyatomic chromophore. A parallel mechanism simply cannot explain the observed results. 

It is of interest to see how the predicted aromatic electron configurations compare with observed electronic spectra. The wavelength for n —> n f 1 transition follows from ...
