Bare electron state

Fig. 8-39. Electron state density in an electrode metal, Du, a semiconductor film, Dt, hydrated redox particles, Dredox, and exchange reaction current of redox electrons, t., in electron transfer equilibrium M = exchange current at a bare metal electrode, M/F= exchange current at a thin-film-covered metal electrode.

Fig. 8 Schematic phase diagram for the two-site E e system at half-filling in the g, J) space. AFO and SDW indicate, respectively, antiferro-orbital ordering and spin density wave states. The electronic state is specified by either the bare electron (Bare), the single-polaron (SP), or the bipolaron (BP). Parameters g, (Oo/t, and J/U are, respectively, chosen as 1, 1, 0.5 along the line 1...

For the spin-boson problem the off-diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian defined in (54) are independent of bath configuration so the forces on the bath variables defined in (44) contain contributions only from the diagonal diabatic surfaces. Further, since the observations we make in the computation of Ait ) involve only electronic state populations, the operator is diagonal. Thus our bath trajectories exhibit classical motion over the individual bare diabatic surfaces in this case. 

The study of gas-phase activation of H-H, C-H and C-C bonds of the hydrogen molecule and saturated hydrocarbons, respectively, by bare transition metal atoms and cations is very attractive for getting insight to the mechanisms and factors (such as nature of metal atoms and their lower-lying electronic states) controlHng catalytic activities of transition metal complexes. Such studies, which are free from the ligand and solvent effects, have been subject of many experimental [2] and theoretical [3] papers in the past 10-15 years. Experimental studies indicate that reaction of some transition metal cations (such as Fe+, Co+, and Rh ) with methane exclusively leads to the ion-molecule complex M+(CH4), while others (such as Sc+ and Ir ) pro-...

Any in-depth analysis of chemical shifts really should take into account a full quantum-chemical description of the emitting atom in the excited state of a partly covalent bonding situation. Then not only are the excited electronic states of the bare atom relevant for the photoemission spectrum, but also the reorganization effects of the hybridized electronic states of the ligand atoms around the photoemitter. The analysis of shake-up satellites, which arise from interactions of the ejected photoelectron with the hgand molecular orbitals, is a prominent...
