  • Figure 1. Comparison of the energy consumption and population growth in the world. The curves have been calculated based on the data of the International Energy Agency Report 2004
  • Figure 2. Comparison of the energy consumption and population growth rates in different regions of the world, derived from the International Atomic Energy Agency data
  • Figure 3. Comparison of the energy consumption and population growth in (a) industrial and (b) developing countries. Calculated from data given in ref.
  • Figure 4. Energy per capita for the different groups of countries as a function of time. The difference in the growth tendency for the industrial and developing countries is reflected via the slope values (tg ф) of these lines. Calculated from data given in ref.
  • Figure 5. Relationship between incoming solar (blue curve) and outgoing terrestrial (red curve) radiation. The magnitude of the terrestrial radiation is magnified by a factor of 500,000
  • Figure 6. Relationship between incoming, stored, and outgoing energy rates per each 1000 photons from the Sun
  • Figure 7. Variation of the band gap of some semiconductor crystals controlled by the crystal size. Adapted from ref.
  • Figure 8. Examples of some organic compounds absorbing in the IR: a) donor-acceptor-donor D-π-A-π-D; b) TTF-σ-TCNQ; c) TTF-dithiolato metal complexes (R=(CH2)3, M=Ni; R=S(CH2)3S, M=Ni; R=Me, M=Ni; R=H, M=Pd) followed by their absorption spectra (Adapted from ref. )
