Bath model

Therefore, at extremely low temperatures one may equally choose between TLS and say oscillator bath. The latter is usually supposed to be simpler to handle, but the TLS bath model, apart from its apparent relevance for glass theory, has some very attractive features [Mermin 1991 Suarez and Silbey 1991b Shimshoni and Cefen 1991].

The rare earth oxides of lanthanum, samarium and gadolinium were converted into soluble nitrate salts by dissolving them in the minimum amount of concentrated nitric acid. Then two sets were prepared by adding 2.0 ml of aqueous solution of La(N03)3.6H20 [0.2 M] and 0.01 ml of (n-BuO)4Ti to 25 ml of aqueous solution of Cu(N03)2 [1.0 M]. Similarly, two sets were prepared with Co(N03)3. Same procedures were followed for Sm(N03)3 [0.2 M] and Gd(N03)3 [0.2 M], One set of all these solutions were sonicated under ultrasonic bath (Model - Meltronics, 20 kHz, 250 W) for half an hour. The solutions prepared in normal and sonicated conditions were kept in muffle furnace (Model - Deluxe Zenith) first at 100°C for 2 h and then the temperature of the furnace was raised up to 900°C and calcined for 2 h. The solid composites prepared were then cooled to room temperature and treated as catalyst for phenol degradation. 

The instrument used in the turbidity measurement was Hatch Model 2100 A Turbidimeter. A Hotech Shaker Bath, Model 901 (Hotech Instruments Corp.) was used in mixing the oil and surfactant solution. The nonionic surfactants, Newcol 1102, 1103 and 1105 were produced by Sino-Japan Chemical Co., Ltd. The active ingredient is dodecanol ethoxylate. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, No. L. 5750, Sigma Chemical Co. 95% active, containing 65% Cj 2>... 

In order to study the decoherence effect, we examined the time evolution of a single spin coupled by exchange interaction to an environment of interacting spin bath modeled by the XY-Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian for such a system is given by [104]... 

Suppose the reactive polyatomic molecule of interest can undergo uni-molecular reaction to form several products, and we imagine carrying out a constrained reaction path analysis for each of the product channels. To carry out the analysis of a particular constrained reaction path, Zhao and Rice adopted a system-bath model [74] in which the reaction path coordinate delines the system and all other coordinates constitute the bath. The use of this representation permits the elimination of the bath coordinates, which then increases the efficiency of calculation of the optimal control field for motion along the reaction coordinate.

Thermostatting of the columns was accomplised at 62°C with a small oil filled bath (model PY1, Bench Scale Equipment Co.). 

Accumulation of potassium within the cell by a cooperative process is a transmembrane event. However, there is also good evidence that movement of potassium ions through membrane channels is modulated by the binding of calcium ions at channel sites - the "plug in the bath" model (7). Membrane surface glycoproteins with polyanionic terminal strands offer a broad and powerful substrate for these cationic interactions. Competition between hydrogen and calcium ions at these sites has been modeled as the initial transductive step in excitation (8). 

However, Eq. (4.1) has another advantage in that it directly connects to the system-bath models used in condensed phase dynamics [38]. Here the reactive coordinates and the substrate modes comprise the relevant system and the bath, respectively. Larger molecules may provide their own bath and Eq. (4.1) can be used to calculate an ah initio system-bath Hamiltonian and microscopic relaxation and dephasing rates [33]. 

Before going on to consider more complicated systems, we review here some of the basic behavior of a two-state quantum system in the presence of a fast stochastic bath. This highly simplified bath model is useful because it allows qualitatively meaningful results to be obtained from a density matrix calculation when bath correlation functions are not available in fact, the bath coupling to any given system operator is reduced to a scalar. In the case of the two-level system, analytic results for the density matrix dynamics are easily obtained, and these provide an important reference point for discussing more complicated systems, both because it is often possible to isolate important parts of more complicated systems as effective two-level systems and because many aspects of the dynamics of multilevel systems appear already at this level. An earlier discussion of the two-level system can be found in Ref. 80. The more... 

The model system considered in this work is simple enough to allow an exact solution, but still complicated enough to exhibit nontrivial behavior. Extensions of the present work are certainly possible in several important aspects. It is worthwhile to consider photon counting statistics for a more complicated chromophore-bath model, for example, the case of... 

According to Eq. (9.34), the kernels Ki2(t) and K2i(t) (or their Laplace images) completely define the ET kinetics. It is common practice to use mean rate constants, k 2(0) and 2i(0), as simpler characteristics of the process. Note that this simplification makes sense only if the kinetics are exponential (or nearly exponential). We will discuss this point in more detail below for the Markovian bath model, where exact expressions are available for the rate kernels.
