Correlation functions rotational energy

Here, I(co) is the Fourier transform of the above C(t) and AEq f is the adiabatic electronic energy difference (i.e., the energy difference between the v = 0 level in the final electronic state and the v = 0 level in the initial electronic state) for the electronic transition of interest. The above C(t) clearly contains Franck-Condon factors as well as time dependence exp(icOfvjvt + iAEi ft/h) that produces 5-function spikes at each electronic-vibrational transition frequency and rotational time dependence contained in the time correlation function quantity <5ir Eg ii,f(Re) Eg ii,f(Re,t)... 

All of these time correlation functions contain time dependences that arise from rotational motion of a dipole-related vector (i.e., the vibrationally averaged dipole P-avejv (t), the vibrational transition dipole itrans (t) or the electronic transition dipole ii f(Re,t)) and the latter two also contain oscillatory time dependences (i.e., exp(icofv,ivt) or exp(icOfvjvt + iAEi ft/h)) that arise from vibrational or electronic-vibrational energy level differences. In the treatments of the following sections, consideration is given to the rotational contributions under circumstances that characterize, for example, dilute gaseous samples where the collision frequency is low and liquid-phase samples where rotational motion is better described in terms of diffusional motion. 

This contrasts with relation (5.16), which led to a non-physical conservation law for J. Eqs. (5.28) and Eq. (5.30) make it possible to calculate in the high-temperature limit the relaxation of both rotational energy and momentum, avoiding any difficulties peculiar to EFA. In the next section we will find their equilibrium correlation functions and determine corresponding correlation times.

It follows from the definition of the functionals and Ti that the exchange-correlation functional is invariant under the rotation and translation of the electron density. This follows directly from the fact that the kinetic energy operator f and the two-electron operator W are invariant with respect to these transformations. This also has implications for the exchange-correlation functional. 

These higher-order correlation functions play a large role in determining many physical properties of polyatomic systems. For example, the vibrational relaxation can, in some cases, be expressed in terms of the rotational kinetic energy autocorrelation function.27... 

Electrons switch between levels characterized by Ms values. Let us examine now an ensemble of n molecules, each with an unpaired electron, in a magnetic field at a given temperature. The bulk system is at constant energy but at the molecular level electrons move, molecules rotate, there are concerted atomic motions (vibrations) within the molecules and, in solution, molecular collisions. Is it possible to have information on these dynamics on a system which is at equilibrium The answer is yes, through the correlation function. The correlation function is a product of the value of any time-dependent property at time zero with the value at time t, summed up to a large number n of particles. It is a function of time. In this case the property can be the Ms value of an unpaired electron and the particles are the molecules. The correlation function has its maximum value at t = 0 since each molecule has one unpaired electron, the product of the... 

The movements capable of relaxing the nuclear spin that are of interest here are related to the presence of unpaired electrons, as has been discussed in Section 3.1. They are electron spin relaxation, molecular rotation, and chemical exchange. These correlation times are indicated as rs (electronic relaxation correlation time), xr (rotational correlation time), and xm (exchange correlation time). All of them can modulate the dipolar coupling energy and therefore can cause nuclear relaxation. Each of them contributes to the decay of the correlation function. If these movements are independent of one another, then the correlation function decays according to the product... 

In the study of any radiative recombination process, one tries to answer a number of fairly well defined questions, mostly related to potential curves. From what electronic states is emission observed With what atomic states do these molecular states correlate Does the recombination take place on a single potential curve, or is a transition between two curves involved Is a potential curve with a significant maximum involved Is a third body necessary, either to stabilize the atom pair on a single curve, or to induce a transition to another curve In the case of a transition between two electronic states, is there an approximate equilibrium What is the vibrational and rotational distribution of newly formed molecules What is the recombination rate coefficient as a function of temperature or cross section as a function of energy In principle these questions can be answered either theoretically or experimentally. In fact, they have been answered experimentally in most cases, but the answers are seldom as certain or as numerous as one would wish. This becomes clear in the following discussion of particular cases. 

Whether these requirements can be met depends on the model considered and on the closure relation involved for the calculation of the correlation functions. Examples for which Eq. (7.54) has actually been used pertain to the class of simple QA systems, that is, QA systems with no rotational degree of freedom where the interaction potentials contain a spherical hard-core contribution plus (at most) an attractive perturbation. For such sj stems, the free energy has been calculated on the basis of correlation functions in the mean sphericfxl approximation (or an optimized random-phase approximation) [114, 298). 

Diezemann and co-workers have recently presented numerical solutions of a master equation for the orientational relaxation of rotational correlation functions in glass-formers such as salol [172,173]. They have considered both globally and locally connected models, where in the latter case only states similar in energy to the starting point can be reached in one hop. They report that the main features of their results are qualitatively the same for these two extremes of connectivity.
