Interaction Darwin

Darwin, 1929 Mott, 1930). The incident particle has momentum HKg before any interaction its momentum after exciting atoms 1 and 2 respectively into the nth and mth states is represented by hKnm. Mott showed that the entire process has negligible cross section unless the angular divergences are comparable to or less than (K a)-1, where a denotes the atomic size. As Darwin (1929) correctly conjectured, the wavefunction of the system before any interaction is the uncoupled product of the wavefunctions of the atom and of the incident particle. After the first interaction, these wavefunctions get inextricably mixed and each subsequent interaction makes it worse. Also, according to the Ehrenfest principle, the wavefunction of the incident particle is localized to atomic dimensions after the first interaction therefore, the subsequent process is adequately described in the particle picture.

So far, we considered only the unretarded electromagnetic field. However, for the correct expression, we have to include the retardation of the vector potential due to the finite speed of light. We may obtain from Darwin s classical electromagnetic interaction energy expression (21) (correct up to 0(c 2)),... 

Term I denotes the classical electron-electron interaction which is related to Darwin s classical expression when expressed in terms of momenta rather than velocities (21). It comprises Coulombic interactions, magnetic, and retardation terms. Term... 

There are three terms which appears in the first order relativistic expression the mass-velocity tehn, the Darwin term and the spin-orbit term[12]. Out of these terms the first two are comparatively easy to calculate, while the spin-orbit interaction term is more complicated. Fortunately, the spin-orbit interaction is often not too important for chemical properties, at least for the second row transition elements. It is therefore usual to neglect it in quantum chemical calculations.

Even if a system is irreducibly complex (and thus cannot have been produced directly), however, one can not definitively rule out the possibility of an indirect, circuitous route. As the complexity of an interacting system increases, though, the likelihood of such an indirect route drops precipitously. And as the number of unexplained, irreducibly complex biological systems increases, our confidence that Darwin s criterion of failure has been met skyrockets toward the maximum that science allows. 

For heavy elements, all of the above non-relativistic methods become increasingly in error with increasing nuclear charge. Dirac 47) developed a relativistic Hamiltonian that is exact for a one-electron atom. It includes relativistic mass-velocity effects, an effect named after Darwin, and the very important interaction that arises between the magnetic moments of spin and orbital motion of the electron (called spin-orbit interaction). A completely correct form of the relativistic Hamiltonian for a many-electron atom has not yet been found. However, excellent results can be obtained by simply adding an electrostatic interaction potential of the form used in the non-relativistic method. This relativistic Hamiltonian has the form...
