We compute the one-body probability density function of a dipolar and a quadrupolar colloid driven by an external ordering field. Colloids with low structure in the absence of the external field, and with axially symmetric coupling potential are assumed. To compute the one-body probability density function, it is assumed that the dynamics of the colloid are given by the Smoluchowski equation wi...

The (1,0) [17.9]2.5-X(2)Δ(3∕2) band of hafnium monofluoride (HfF) has been recorded using high-resolution laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy both field-free and in the presence of a static electric field. The field-free spectra of (177)HfF, (179)HfF, and (180)HfF were modeled to generate a set of fine and hyperfine parameter for the X(2)Δ(3∕2)(v = 0) and [17.9]2.5 (v = 1) states. The obser...

The phase behavior of nitrogen + n-alkanes is studied within the framework of the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range (SAFT-VR). The effect of the quadrupole moment of nitrogen on the phase behavior is considered through an extension of the SAFT-VR equation that includes an additional contribution to the Helmholtz free energy due to quadrupolar interactions. A ...

Transverse quadrupole wake fields exist whenever the beam is not round, and therefore in an alternating gradient focusing system these fields cannot be eliminated. As a result, these fields represent a potential limitation on high intensity linac performance. In this note we calculate the magnitude of quadrupole wake field effects for the SLAC linac.

Two main results are included in this paper. The first one deals with the leading asymptotic term of the magnetic field outside any conductive medium. In accord with physical reality, it is proved mathematically that the leading approximation is a quadrupole term which means that the conductive brain tissue weakens the intensity of the magnetic field outside the head. The second one concerns th...

We present a microscopic theory of equilibrium solvation in solvents with zero dipole moment and nonzero quadrupole moment (quadrupolar solvents). The theory is formulated in terms of autocorrelation functions of the quadrupolar polarization (structure factors). It can be therefore applied to an arbitrary dense quadrupolar solvent for which the structure factors are defined. We formulate a simp...

DFT(B3LYP, B3PW91) calculations in conjunction with three different basis sets have been utilized to investigate the variations in the bond lengths, dipole moment, rotational constants, IR frequencies, IR intensities and rotational invariants of ClCCCN. The nuclear quadrupole constants of chlorine ((35)Cl, (37)Cl) and nitrogen ((14)N) of ClCCCN have been calculated on the experimental r(s) stru...
