Charged spherical shell

We supplement this consideration by another rough estimation of the S-valucs for the s-terms, namely, that given by van Urk. We replace the electron structure of the atomic cores by charged spherical shells, the radii of which are somewhat larger than aH... 

An electrostatic perturbation is included in the ionic calculation, the parameters ofwhichare chosen to reproduce the electrostatic environment ofthe ion in the crystal. The electrostatic perturbation is a charged spherical shell for spherical ion calculations [24, 25], and a series of point charges for non-spherical ion calculations [26].

Plot 4nr Rl against p (or r), as shown in Figure 1.7(c). The quantity 4nr Rl is called the radial charge density and is the probability of finding the electron in a volume element consisting of a thin spherical shell of thickness dr, radius r, and volume 4 ir dr. 

Another way to view the barycentre rule is to consider first the bringing up to the metal of a spherical shell of negative charge which increases the energies of all five d orbitals equally. Then, in this notional picture, if the spherical shell of charge redistributes towards the apices of an octahedron, those orbitals directed towards those apices suffer a further repulsion and energy increase, while those directed in between, acquire a relative stability. 

Bjerrum considered the case of spherical ions in a solvent of dielectric constant e. The probability of finding two ions of opposite charge at a distance A from each other is calculated from the number of ions surrounding a central ion of opposite charge in a spherical shell of thickness dA and radius A. This probability, fV(A), is given by... 

Electrons in the core of an atom are fully localized into spherical shells but not into opposite-spin pairs. In an isolated atom the valence shell electrons are similarly localized into a spherical shell. The Laplacian shows that in each of these spherical shells there is a spherical region of charge concentration and a spherical region of charge depletion. But in these regions there is no localization of electrons of opposite spin into pairs. There are no Lewis pairs or electron pair domains in an inner shell. The domain of each electron is spherical and fully delocalized through the shell. 

In the context of the spherical shell model for nearly-free electrons, assuming that Au, Sc, and Ti contribute with 1,3,5 delocalized valence electrons, respectively, it appears that AueSc+ and Au5Ti+ are magic clusters with 8 valence electrons. However, for the other TM impurities, delocalization of valence charge is restricted to the 4s electrons if this model is forced to explain the observed drops of intensity, at n=5 and 7. We obtain the experimental magic numbers ° of Au TM+ clusters without resorting to the empirical shell-model of delocalized electrons. 

In this equation, V2 = d2/dx2 + d2/dy2 + d2/dz2 denotes the Laplacian operator of cartesian second derivatives, p(r) is the charge density in a spherical shell of radius r and infinitesimal thickness dr centered at the particle of interest (see diagram), k is the effective dielectric constant, and e0 is the permittivity of free space (8.854 x 10 12 in SI units). The energy of interaction / , of ions of charge z,c with their surroundings,... 

In the quantification of ion accumulation around a macroion, it is assumed that the macroion is in contact with a thermodynamic bath of bulk electrolyte from which individual ions can be added or subtracted without significantly altering the properties of the bath itself. One way to assay the existence of two independent ion populations within the simulation is to quantify net-charge fluctuations as a function of time within spherical shells around the macroion. Ideally, the shells farthest from the macroion should correspond to the bulk population and should not be strongly coupled to ion fluctuations within the ionic atmosphere of the... 

Recall from Section 3.2 that a spherical shell of charge has the same effect outside the shell as it would have if it were completely concentrated at its center however, it has no effect (produces no net force) on a charge inside the shell. Thus, very far from the nucleus (r ao), the electron effectively neutralizes half of the +2e charge of the helium nucleus. A second electron far from the nucleus would feel an effective net charge of +e. Near the nucleus, however (r <[Pg.139]

This may be clear from Fig. 56. Consider a conducting, solid, spherical particle of radius a, carrying a positive charge q, immersed in a liquid of dielectric constant D. The potential of the sphere is q/Da. Next consider the contribution to the potential difference between the sphere and the liquid made by a spherical shell in the liquid, of radius r and thickness dr the charge dq on this will be opposite in sign to that on the sphere, and the contribution to the difference in potential between the surface of the solid and the liquid will be dqjDr. The total difference in potential between the surface of the solid and the liquid beyond the outer limit of the double layer will be the sum of the contributions from the sphere and all the shells, i.e. 

The charge density p(r) is determined by the Boltzmann equation, which says that the concentration of positive and negative charges in a spherical shell 4 dr at a distance r from the central ion is proportional... 

Up to now, the charge density at a given distance has been discussed. The total excess charge contained in the ionic atmosphere that surrounds the central ion can, however, easily be computed. Consider a spherical shell of thickness dr at a distance r from the origin, i.e., from the center of the reference ion (Fig. 3.13). The charge dq in this thin shell is equal to the charge density times the volume AnP dr of the shell, i.e..
