Acid Strength and Molecular Structure

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure

Binary Acids and Bases
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...

Resonance and Hybrid Structures

Resonance and Hybrid Structures

According to the theory of resonance, if two or more Lewis structures with the same arrangement of atoms can be written for a molecule, ion, or radical, the actual distribution of electrons is an average of that shown by the various Lewis structures.
Resonance Structures and Resonance Hybrids
The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting

A proton M that is coupled to a proton X results in doublet signals for M. However, NMR-active nuclei can be simultaneously coupled to more than one nonequivalent nucleus. When M is coupled to a second proton A, such as in styrene oxide, each peak in the doublet is split into another doublet.
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Background:

Interface acoustic waves (IAWs) offer unique propagation characteristics.
Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is a key piezoelectric material for acoustic devices.
SU-8 serves as a versatile polymer for microfabrication and adhesion.

Purpose of the Study:

To theoretically study and experimentally investigate IAW propagation in LiNbO3/SU-8/overcoat structures.
To optimize multilayer configurations for efficient IAW guiding.
To explore potential microfluidic applications of IAWs.

Main Methods:

Three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) analysis using Comsol Multiphysics.
Experimental validation of numerical predictions for various overcoat materials and SU-8 thicknesses.
Measurement of IAW velocities in LiNbO3/SU-8/fused silica, LiNbO3/SU-8/(001)Si, and LiNbO3/SU-8/c-Al2O3 structures.

Main Results:

Overcoats faster than the piezoelectric substrate confine wave propagation near the LiNbO3 surface with minimal scattering.
The SU-8 layer effectively traps acoustic energy and acts as an adhesive.
IAW electromechanical coupling efficiency closely matches that of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on bare LiNbO3.

Conclusions:

Optimized LiNbO3/SU-8/overcoat structures enable efficient IAW guiding.
IAWs demonstrate potential as an alternative to SAWs in microfluidic particle manipulation.
The study renews interest in IAWs for advanced microfluidic device applications.
