Calculate the energies of x-rays, electrons, He ions, and Ha molecules that correspond to a wavelength of 1.4 A. 

A variety of experimental techniques have been employed to research the material of this chapter, many of which we shall not even mention. For example, pressure as well as temperature has been used as an experimental variable to study volume effects. Dielectric constants, indices of refraction, and nuclear magnetic resonsance (NMR) spectra are used, as well as mechanical relaxations, to monitor the onset of the glassy state. X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction are used to elucidate structure along with electron microscopy. It would take us too far afield to trace all these different techniques and the results obtained from each, so we restrict ourselves to discussing only a few types of experimental data. Our failure to mention all sources of data does not imply that these other techniques have not been employed to good advantage in the study of the topics contained herein. 

In discussing molecular symmetry it is essential that the molecular shape is accurately known, commonly by spectroscopic methods or by X-ray, electron or neutron diffraction. 

Radiation Resistance. Polysulfones exhibit resistance to many electromagnetic frequencies of practical significance, including microwave, visible, and infrared. Especially notable is the excellent resistance to microwave radiation, which has contributed to the excellent fit of polysulfones in cookware appHcations. Polysulfone also shows good resistance to x-rays, electron beam (24), and gamma (25,26) radiation under many practical appHcation conditions. 

Occasionally, especially in the developmental phase of catalyst research, it is necessary to determine the oxidation state, exact location, and dispersion of various elements in the catalyst. Eor these studies, either transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with various high vacuum x-ray, electron, and ion spectroscopies are used routinely. 

These cover the following topics (a) theoretical methods, with emphasis on the utility of such methods b) molecular dimensions, as determined by X-ray, electron diffraction and microwave spectra (c) molecular spectra, covering NMR, IR, UV, mass and photoelectron spectra [d) thermodynamic aspects, such as stability, ring strain, aromaticity, shape and conformation of saturated and partially saturated rings (c) tautomerism, including prototopic and ring-chain (/) betaine and other unusual structures. 

The elemental composition of the fish otoliths is a potential source of the useful information to recreate environment history of the individual fish in some of the species. In-depth study of the chemical composition of the otolith center (formed eaidy in fish life) and otolith edge (formed later in fish life) ensures chronological and environmental information stored in the otoliths [1]. This infoiTnation may be achieved by X-ray electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). EPMA is the analytical method to determine the elemental composition of different otolith s parts, their sizes varying from ten up to some tens of microns.

It should be obvious from Figure 1 that if one wishes to probe spacings on the order of atomic spacings (A) that wavelengths of the same length scale are required. Fortunately, X rays, electrons and thermal neutrons share the feature of possessing wavelengths of the appropriate size.

Energy minimization methods that exploit information about the second derivative of the potential are quite effective in the structural refinement of proteins. That is, in the process of X-ray structural determination one sometimes obtains bad steric interactions that can easily be relaxed by a small number of energy minimization cycles. The type of relaxation that can be obtained by energy minimization procedures is illustrated in Fig. 4.4. In fact, one can combine the potential U r) with the function which is usually optimized in X-ray structure determination (the R factor ) and minimize the sum of these functions (Ref. 4) by a conjugated gradient method, thus satisfying both the X-ray electron density constraints and steric constraint dictated by the molecular potential surface. 

To answer this question we need to consider the kind of physical techniques that are used to study the solid state. The main ones are based on diffraction, which may be of electrons, neutrons or X-rays (Moore, 1972 Franks, 1983). In all cases exposure of a crystalline solid to a beam of the particular type gives rise to a well-defined diffraction pattern, which by appropriate mathematical techniques can be interpreted to give information about the structure of the solid. When a liquid such as water is exposed to X-rays, electrons or neutrons, diffraction patterns are produced, though they have much less regularity and detail it is also more difficult to interpret them than for solids. Such results are taken to show that liquids do, in fact, have some kind of long-range order which can justifiably be referred to as a structure . 

Previously, Ermakov et al. —2— studied Pt-Mo/SiOj catalysts and found that the presence of Mo in Pt-Mo/Si02 catalysts increased the rate of hydrogenolysis by k orders of magnitude compared to Pt/SiOj catalysts and decreased the electron density of Pt as observed from x-ray electron spectroscopy. They interpreted these data in terms of chemical bonding between Pt and Mo and suggested a Pt°-Mo + complex on silica which has catalytic activity and selectivity similar to Rh or Ir rather than to Pt. 

Another polymer symposia was organised by IUPAC in 1947 in Liege. At this conference, the discussion included synthesis and technology of polymers like polyethylene, nylon, polyester. New characterisation methods such as x-ray scattering, x-rays, electron microscope, osmometry, nmr, IR, Raman spectroscopy, etc. were now available for characterisation of polymers. These methods become essential because of increasing complexity of new polymers. 

This section provides brief insights on some of the most important characterization techniques used for CNTs and other nanocarbons in addition to microscopy-related (i.e. SEM, TEM, AFM, STM) and diffraction (i.e. X-ray, electron) techniques. 

In contrast to X-rays, electrons can be foeussed by magnetic lenses to give images of the investigated objeets. This is the basic principle behind every transmission electron microscope (TEM). As shown by the sketch in figure 9 the central part of every TEM is the objeetive lens. This lens eolleets all diffracted electron beams from the erystal and sorts them in the baek foeal... 

The C-ls x-ray electron spectroscopic spectra of the norbornyl ion has recently been reported (Olah et al., 1972). In principle, ESCA appears to provide an ideal method to decide upon the ion s structure, as one would expect a classical ion to exhibit two peaks with an area ratio of 6 1 and the non-classical ion to show two peaks with a 5 2 ratio. 

Diffraction analysis—whether employing x-rays, electrons, or neutrons—is the method of choice for obtaining structural information on crystalline substances. The application of the well understood principles and methods of diffraction analysis to single crystals of sufficient size and perfection can lead to a detailed determination of the crystal structure, without recourse to any auxiliary methodology. Hundreds of mono- and oligosaccharide molecules have been characterized by these means (1), yielding not only an increased understanding of their structures in the solid state, but also a data base useful for extrapolation to other states and molecular interactions.
