A Ensemble

Figure 9-1 is an example of what a modern level A ensemble ean look like. Remember, level A suits are fully eneapsulated. The ensemble would eome with gloves and boots ineluded. An overboot and overgloves would be added to provide extra proteetion and add extra working life to the ensemble. An SCBA is worn with the air paek unit fully within the ensemble, and the worker wears a full faeepieee. Notiee the field of vision that the worker enjoys with the ensemble shown. Were the ensemble in Figure 9-1 not fully eneapsulated at the sleeves, feet, or seams, it would not be eonsidered level A. 

In Figure 9-2 we see a worker demonstrating a level A ensemble handling a drum. Notiee that his SCBA airlines and other apparatus are eovered and proteeted by a layer of elothing.

The removal of the ensemble average over the A, ensemble in the final line on the r.h.s. reflects the protocol of this technique, the so-called slow-growth method. It is assumed that if the Hamiltonian is infinitesimally perturbed at every step in the simulation, then the system will constantly be at equilibrium (following some initial period of equilibration), so separate ensemble averages need not be acquired. 

In principle then, one single-ensemble-average suffices to determine the desired ratio. However, this strategy (if unsupported by others) requires [63] that the two ensembles overlap in the sense that, loosely [64], the dominant configurations in the A ensemble are a subset of those in the B ensemble. This is a strong constraint it will seldom, if ever, be satisfied [65]. 

In order to compute a ensemble of trajectories. Carpenter and Borden created an AMl-SRP fit to the CASSCF(8,8) energies. About 83 percent of the trajectories went into the region of the biradical. Of these, about 8 percent exited the biradical and proceed to product 41 in less than 500 fs, too short a time to be trapped under Roth s experiment. In addition, 17 percent of the trajectories completely...

Photoconversion entered the story of ET in the 1970s, by which time knowledge of the stracture and function of photosynthetic reaction centres was sufficient to allow the design and synthesis of dyads , D-A ensembles that held the donor and acceptor in well defined locations. The first DA dyads modelled onnatural photosynthetic reaction centres were the porphyrin-qtrinone (P-Q) supermolectrles of Kong and Loach (1978, 1980).

The most useful connection between thermodynamics and ST is the one established for a system at a given temperature P, volume K, and number of particles N. The corresponding ensemble is referred to as the isothermal ensemble or the canonical ensemble. To obtain the T, V, ensemble from the E, F, A ensemble, we replace the boundaries between the isolated systems of Fig. 1.4 by diathermal (i.e., heat-conducting) boundaries. The latter permits the flow of heat between systems in the ensemble. The volume and the number of particles are still kept constant. This ensemble is described schematically in Fig. 1.5.
