Scattering phenomena in volume holograms with strong coupling
Abstract:
A qualitative analysis of various diffraction phenomena, visible in scattering volume gratings, like scattering rings, Kossel lines, dark scattering rings, is made for gratings including higher order harmonics and for gratings with strong coupling. An interference phenomenon, explained by the dynamical theory of diffraction, is demonstrated. In order to simplify the analysis of these phenomena and diffraction in volume gratings in general, a modification of the traditional Ewald construction is introduced. This modification is geometrically equivalent but physically more consistent and, for instance, defines how the observer is related to the wave vector sphere and also permits the location and extent of the intermodulation spectrum to be easily constructed. The construction is applied to the recording and readout of multiple recording by superposition in volume holograms as an illustration.

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.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
