Des molécules à cœur équivalent. Avant de préciser la nature de ces ions, regardons de plus près la structure des molécules excitées par impact électronique de haute énergie. [...] C'est un effet typiquement moléculaire, car il ne se produit pas dans les atomes, où l'on observe toute une série de transitions dites séries de Rydberg. Il résulterait d’un effet de focalisation du champ moléculaire anisotrope sur l'électron excité vers l'orbitale vide. L'interaction entre l'électron excité et le champ moléculaire crée une barrière de potentiel centrifuge qui a pour effet de localiser cette orbitale vide près du cœur de la molécule.

In the STM [scanning tunneling microscope] the "aperture" is a tiny tungsten probe, its tip ground so fine that it may consist of only a single atom and measure just .2 nanometer in width. Piezoelectric controls maneuver the tip to within a nanometer or two of the surface of a conducting specimen so close that the electron clouds of the atom at the probe tip and of the nearest atom of the specimen overlap. When a small voltage is applied to the tip, electrons "tunnel" across the gap, generating a minuscule tunneling current. The strength of the current is exquisitely sensitive to the width of the gap; typically it decreases by a factor of 10 each time the gap is widened by .1 nanometer -half the diameter of an atom. 2, record 4, English, - tunneling%20current

Les deux types de chimie(photochimie et radiochimie) s’intéressent à l'absorption d’un rayonnement qui provoque un changement chimique. On fait quelquefois une distinction fondée sur la possibilité(ou non) de détecter les ions dans le système. Si cette possibilité existe, par exemple avec des rayonnements électromagnétiques, avec l'ultraviolet moyen ou avec le rayonnement des particules de haute énergie, on dit qu'il s’agit d’une réaction radiochimique, autrement, par exemple avec les rayonnements de longueurs d’ondes plus longues, la réaction provoquée est dite photochimique. Un autre critère, probablement plus significatif, est fondé sur la spécificité des effets chimiques; on dit qu'une réaction est photochimique si les effets sont spécifiques et qu'elle est radiochimique si on obtient un grand nombre de produits réactionnels. Le comportement peut être spécifique, même si on peut détecter des ions; le deuxième critère place donc une barrière, au niveau des hautes énergies, entre les réactions photochimiques et radiochimiques. 5, record 5, French, - chimie%20des%20radiations

La catalyse covalente est utilisée par certains enzymes pour augmenter la vitesse d’une réaction chimique, en formant un intermédiaire covalent hautement réactif entre l'enzyme et le substrat qui possède une grande probabilité d’entrer dans l'état transitoire; ceci permet au substrat de trouver un passage plus bas pour traverser la barrière d’énergie d’activation. La catalyse covalente est de règle dans les réactions auxquelles participent les coenzymes : ainsi, le pyridoxal-phosphate participe à la décarboxylation oxydative des acides aminés par l'intermédiaire d’une base de Schiff, aisément mise en évidence par son spectre optique caractéristique.

The crystal thickness is selected on the basis of the gamma-ray energy region relevant to the application of interest, with the small thicknesses optimum for low-energy measurements (for example in the L-x-ray region for special nuclear material).
