Bessel functions regions

After making these adjustments to allow for the fact that the analysis line cannot be located in the region of space where the centrifugal coupling in the body-fixed coordinates is negligible, and also for the fact that the analysis of Ref. 75 did not account for the long-range analytic form of the spherical Bessel functions, the space-fixed S matrix of Eq. (4.47) must be transformed back to the body-fixed axes and Eq. (4.46) must be used to compute the state-to-state differential cross sections [136,160]. 

In this Chapter, we present step-by-step derivations of the explicit expressions for matrix elements based on the spherical-harmonic expansion of the tip wavefunction in the gap region. The result — derivative rule is extremely simple and intuitively understandable. Two independent proofs are presented. The mathematical tool for the derivation is the spherical modified Bessel functions, which are probably the simplest of all Bessel functions. A concise summary about them is included in Appendix C. 

This indicates continuous diffraction everywhere except in that region of the equator where the Jq Bessel function component provides single-crystal like diffraction. Fig. 5 shows a fiber diffraction pattern of this kind. 

The separation of Bessel function terms using layer line splitting is confined to regions where only two terms contribute. At higher diffraction angles, where more terms contribute, the separation of Bessel function terms should, ideally, utilize both heavy atom derivative data and the apparent positions and widths of the layer lines. The combined use of both types of information may be possible using a linear relationship between the layer line position and the relative intensities of the Bessel function terms. 

The effect of a non-vanishing potential on the radial function is illustrated in Fig. 7.4 for the example of a repulsive potential of rectangular shape. It can be seen that the selected s-wave radial function RK0(r) strongly differs in the region of potential from the corresponding spherical Bessel function j0(fcr). However, far away from the influence of the potential, the function Rk0(t) behaves like the asymptotic spherical Bessel function j0(Kr), except that it is shifted in phase. A repulsive potential pushes out, and an attractive potential pulls in the radial functions RKf(r) as compared to j/xr). This behaviour is expressed in the asymptotic forms of these radial functions (for the general case with ( and an attractive potential) ... 

Figure 7.4 Definition of the phase shift A as introduced by a potential. The solution of the radial function RKAr) of a wave with energy e = k2/2 (in atomic units) and with ( = 0 is shown for two situations under the influence of a repulsive potential V(r) as indicated by the shaded region (top), and for vanishing potential (bottom). In the first case one has RK((r) = FK0(r), and in the second case the radial function is equal to the spherical Bessel function, i.e., RKAr) = j0(fcr). Asymptotically, both solutions, FK0(r) and j0(Kr), differ only by a constant distance A in the r coordinate which is related to the phase shift A( as indicated.

The noninteger Bessel functions have to be analytically continued when the parameters move into the nonclassical region. For details we refer to [30],... 

In the outer region the wave field is a superposition of the incident wave (1) and the scattered wave. The latter is described by special cylindrical functions (Hankel functions). The cylindrical functions of another type (Bessel functions) also describe the wave motion in the inner region. The conditions at the boundary line between two-dimensional phases allow us to sew together the solutions of the hydrodynamic equations in the inner and outer regions. The wave motion in the transitional region can be rather complicated. However, if we are not interested in the details of the liquid dynamics in the transitional region, we can continue the solutions, which were obtained at a distance from this region, up to the boundary line. 

The and yi are regular and irregular spherical Bessel functions,and ii and ki are modified spherical Bessel functions of the first and third kinds,respectively. Eq. (6.16) reduces to eq. (6.14) in the far asymptotic region. From the open-open sub-block of one can obtain the corresponding sub-block of the... 

Crick, and Vand for the form factor for helical structures requires that the orders of Bessel functions for the successive layer lines from 0 to 8 be 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3, and 0. The layer-line intensities agree satisfactorily with this prediction, in the region from layer line 4 to layer line 8. There is an unexplained blackening near the meridian for layer lines 2 to 4, which, however, differs in nature for sodium thymonucleate and clupein thymo-nucleate, and which probably is to be attributed to material between the polynucleotide chains. 

In this approximation each individual atom of type t is surrounded by an atomic sphere of radius S., and the kinetic energy k in the region outside the spheres is zero. Hence, the spherical Bessel and Neumann functions which enter the theory become polynomials in (r/S) where S may be taken as a common radius different from S. The requirement of continuity and differentiability at the individual radii St determines the normalisation of and the function...
