Abstract:
Coherence effects in the backward-scattering direction, such as enhanced backscattering (EBS) and the appearance of a negative polarization branch (NPB), are investigated for a simple scattering system composed of two dipolelike particles separated by a fixed distance. The influence on these effects of coupling resonances between the particles is analyzed. The appearance of these coherent phenomena (EBS and NPB) and their relationship as a function of the optical properties of the particles (polarizability) and particle separation are also studied.

Electric Dipoles and Dipole Moment
Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
