Argon electron distribution

Beyond these well established characteristic features however the total width of the electron distributions is much narrower for the argon target than for neon or helium. These patterns are due to the signatures of the initial state wave function. In figure 3, a systematic discrepancy between experiment and theory appears at higher electron energies. This discrepancy occurs due to one of the basic postulates of the CDW-EIS model, namely that it is based on the independent electron model which considers there... 

Cuthbert and Linnett80 have suggested that the stability of the cubic closest packed arrangement of atoms in crystals of neon, argon, krypton, and xenon (helium crystallizing instead in hexagonal closest packing)81 is explicable by the tetrahedral electron distribution of the atoms...

An atom does not have a definite size, because the statistical distribution of electrons does not abruptly end but merely decreases to very small values as the distance from the nucleus increases. This can be seen in the plot of the electron distribution for the argon atom, shown in Figure 8.15. Consequently, atomic size must be defined in a... 

An approximate equilibrium is set up in the plasma, with the electrons, ions, and atoms having velocity distributions similar to those of a gas that has been heated to temperatures of 7,000 to 10,000°C. Since the plasma is ignited toward the end of the concentric tubes from which argon gas is issuing, the plasma appears as a pale-blue-to-lilac flame coming out of the end of the tube, which is why the system is referred to as a torch, as in a welding torch. 

As for the one-dimensional case, the function L makes features emerge from the electron density that p itself does not clearly show. What then does the function L reveal for the spherical electron density of a free atom Because of the spherical symmetry, it suffices to focus on the radial dimension alone. Figure 7.2a shows the relief map of p(r) in a plane through the nucleus of the argon atom. Figure 7.2b shows the relief map of L(r) for the same plane, and Figure 7.2c the corresponding contour map. Since the electron density distribution is... 

We also apply the CDW-EIS model to the energy distributions of electrons ejected from argon by 1-MeV protons [41]. For the argon target we have calculated the contributions from various shells which are then added to obtain... 

The average local electrostatic potential V(r)/p(r), introduced by Pohtzer [57], led Sen and coworkers [58] to conjecture that the global maximum in V(r)/p(r) defines the location of the core-valence separation in ground-state atoms. Using this criterion, one finds N values [Eq. (3.1)] of 2.065 and 2.112 e for carbon and neon, respectively, and 10.073 e for argon, which are reasonable estimates in light of what we know about the electronic shell structure. Politzer [57] also made the significant observation that V(r)/p(r) has a maximum any time the radial distribution function D(r) = Avr pir) is found to have a minimum. 

The structure (e.g., number, size, distribution) of fat crystals is difficult to analyze by common microscopy techniques (i.e., electron, polarized light), due to their dense and interconnected microstructure. Images of the internal structures of lipid-based foods can only be obtained by special manipulation of the sample. However, formation of thin sections (polarized light microscopy) or fractured planes (electron microscopy) still typically does not provide adequate resolution of the crystalline phase. Confocal laserscanning microscopy (CLSM), which is based on the detection of fluorescence produced by a dye system when a sample is illuminated with a krypton/argon mixed-gas laser, overcomes these problems. Bulk specimens can be used with CLSM to obtain high-resolution images of lipid crystalline structure in intricate detail.
