Two Exponents

Moreover, it was established during the numerical evaluation of the unknown quantities in relations (22) and (29) that, while the definition of the two exponents T)t and r 2 in relation (22) is rather unstable, depending fraily on small variations of the value of the Ec-modulus, on the contrary, the single unknown 2r -exponent, defining relation (29), yields rather stable and reliable results. 

In this case, as follows from Equation (3.106) both roots are negative and the function. s(t) is a sum of two exponents ... 

A careful examination of the Stockmayer and the percolation distributions reveals that both theories gives the same type of distribution [110]. In terms of the two exponents in Eqs. 52 and 53, the percolation calculation yields t=2.2 and 0 0.44, and the Stockmayer distribution yields r 2.5 and o 0.50. These differences in the exponents appear to be small in a double logarithmic plot, but they cause significant differences in the absolute values for w(x) when 3-4 decades in the degree of polymerization are covered. Another point is that the cut-off function could be calculated analytically in the FS-theory to be a single exponential function [110], while the percolation theory could only make a guess about its shape [7]. 

Our study of time-resolved luminescence of diamonds revealed similar behavior (Panczer et al. 2000). Short-decay spectra usually contain N3 luminescence centers (Fig. 4.71d 5.69a,b) with decay time of r = 30-40 ns. Despite such extremely short decay, sometimes the long-delay spectra of the same samples are characterized by zero-phonon lines, which are very close in energy to those in N3 centers. At 77 K Aex = 308 nm excitation decay curve may be adjusted to a sum of two exponents of ti = 4.2 ps and i2 = 38.7 ps (Fig. 5.69c), while at 300 K only the shorter component remains. Under Aex = 384 nm excitation an even longer decay component of 13 = 870 ps may appear (Fig. 5.69d). The first type of long leaved luminescence may be ascribed to the 2.96 eV center, while the second type of delayed N3 luminescence is ascribed to the presence of two metastable states identified as quarfef levels af fhe N3 cenfer. 

In order to obtain the coefficient and the two exponents —0.7), Rohsenow used experimental data for five systems water boiling on a 0.024-in.-diam. platinum wire (Al), water on a 1.5-in.-diam. horizontal tube (C6), and benzene, ethyl alcohol, and n-pentane on a chromium-plated horizontal surface (C2). The exponents for the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers were constant at % and —0.7 as shown. Unfortunately the coefficient varied from 0.006 to 0.015 from system to system. 

This outer solution, discontinuous at x = 0, has to be smoothed out via an internal layer solution around this point. In this internal layer we distinguish the inner region around x = 0 in which the potential is close to zero and the derivatives term is balanced by N, flanked by two transition layers. In those layers, three terms balance—the derivative, the N term, and one of the two exponents (the positive one for x < 0 and the negative one for x > 0). 

Investigations on the kinetics of the tunneling reactions of etr with acceptors of various nature in water-alkaline matrices showed the parameter at. for these reactions to be essentially dependent on the nature of the acceptor (see below). This suggests that, in this case, the electron perhaps tunnels under a barrier corresponding to the ionization energy of the acceptor. If this is the case, then for the reactions of etr in these matrices the dependence IF(7 ) must have the form of a sum of two exponents, and in studying the kinetics of reactions of et7 over a wide range of time one can, in principle, observe a transfer from one exponential branch of the curve in Fig. 7 of Chap. 3 to the other one. 

Table I compiles the scaling laws of interest here. Only two exponents are independent, and the others are related by the exponent equalities given in Table I.

The decay kinetics of excited electron donor molecules (the intensity of fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of excited molecules at any given time) can be interpreted in two ways. First, one may try to approximate it with the sum of two exponents, one of which refers to the decay of the fluorescence of free donor molecules and the other to that of the complex between the donor and the acceptor. This interpretation is similar to the description of the two-exponential decay of the fluorescence observed in the presence of two compounds containing heavy atoms [40]... 

A comprehensive analysis of the spectral and kinetic data on T-T absorption has shown that the triplet state decay kinetics for thiacarbocyanine dyes in the presence of DNA are not single-exponential and can be presented as a sum of two exponents ... 

Finally, we comment on the exponents in Eq. (9). The first two terms decrease with oscillations as the distance, r, increases. 71 characterizes the wave number of oscillations and selects the typical wave number of spatial pattern at the instability point. 72 and the exponent of the third term are related to the stability of kinetics. As long as the system is stable, these two exponents remain finite. 

Two exponents were determined in these experiments that for the fracture stress, which goes to zero at Pc, and that for the elongation of the sample, which seems to diverge at Pc There is also complete agreement between the results of the two kinds of measurements. The fracture exponent Tf is found to be equal to 2.5 =b 0.3, well within the bounds (3.14) already calculated above (see Fig. 3.9). The elongation before fracture is found to grow with (p — Pc) having an exponent value 1.4 0.2. 

In the study of the kinetics of the decay of erbium PL we used a semiconductor laser radiating at 658 nm wavelength with a variable pulse time. The energy of photons of this laser corresponds to the transitions between the tail states of the valence band and the conduction band of the amorphous silicon, but it is significantly smaller that the width of the forbidden gap of the dielectric nanocrystals of erbium silicate. The intensity decay of erbium PL after the end of the pumping pulse is well described by two exponents with the characteristic times of 27 ps for the fast component (Ifts,) and 200 ps for the slow component (Liow)- The presence in the decay kinetics of two components with strongly...

Pople and Hehre showed that, given the position vectors A, B, C and D and two exponents y and 5, there exists a unique Cartesian axis system [79] in which many primitive integrals vanish by symmetry. Moreover, because this axis system is independent of the exponents a and p, it can be used for all a,P pairs. After looping over these, the accumulated integral combinations are rotated into a second Cartesian system [80] which depends only on A, B, C and D, and the next y,8 pair is then selected. When all y,8 pairs have been treated, the desired integrals are finally obtained by rotating back to the original Cartesian system of the molecule. 

The starting point for defining the relationships between H/D/T isotope effects is the set of equations (11.9) shown below, with exponents thd and roj as leading parameters for study. The subscript in the notation used here refers to the type of isotope effect, H/D or D/T, used to predict the H/T effect in an exponential relationship. The two exponents are algebraically related for systems with a single site... 

Then, when 8 equals AJ at the outlet of the microchannel, CHF is reached. The leading constant and two exponents were determined empirically using a database including three fluids (R-134a, R-245fa and R-113) and three circular channel diameters (0.509, 0.790 and 3.15 mm) taken from the CHF data of Wojtan, Revellin and Thome [1] and Lazarek and Black [6]. Figure 5 shows the profiles from the channel centerline to the wall for an example simulation.
