Degeneration coefficient

For each energy level, there are two corresponding electrons with opposite spin, so the degeneration coefficient is g, = 2. If we consider all the states with the same energy , the quantum numbers /, m and n have values arranged over the surface of the positive quarter of the sphere defined by ... 

The degeneration coefficient is calculated in a similar manner to that used to obtain relation [1.85], Its value is ... 

In terms of comparison with experimental values, we shall give the example of the variation in heat capacity at constant volume as a function of the temperature calculated by Eyring s semi-microscopic method. Remember that it is a cellular model including vacancies and a degeneration coefficient (see section 1.6). Figure 1.9 illustrates such a comparison and exhibits good accordance between the results obtained by the model and the experimental results. 

Thus, we can see that it is important to examine the validity of a model by comparing several results produced by that model. Additionally, a good model of the stmcture of liquids must also satisfy the interpretation of properties other than the mere thermod5mamic values that are of interest to us here, e.g. surface tension, viscosity and self-diffusion. The major advantage of Eyring s cellular and vacancy model with a degeneration coefficient is that it also takes account of the dynamic properties of liquids. 

The symmetry argument actually goes beyond the above deterniination of the symmetries of Jahn-Teller active modes, the coefficients of the matrix element expansions in different coordinates are also symmetry determined. Consider, for simplicity, an electronic state of symmetiy in an even-electron molecule with a single threefold axis of symmetry, and choose a representation in which two complex electronic components, e ) = 1/v ( ca) i cb)), and two degenerate complex nuclear coordinate combinations Q = re " each have character T under the C3 operation, where x — The bras e have character x. Since the Hamiltonian operator is totally symmetric, the diagonal matrix elements e H e ) are totally symmetric, while the characters of the off-diagonal elements ezf H e ) are x. Since x = 1, it follows that an expansion of the complex Hamiltonian matrix to quadratic terms in Q. takes the form...

A CCSD wavefunction and the t-aug-cc-pVDZ basis were used. (Results given in atomic units, the number in parentheses indicate powers of ten.)...

When several magnetically equivalent nuclei are present in a radical, some of the multiplet lines appear at exactly the same field position, i.e., are degenerate , resulting in variations in component intensity. Equivalent spin-1/2 nuclei such as 1H, 19F, or 31P result in multiplets with intensities given by binomial coefficients (1 1 for one nucleus, 1 2 1 for two, 1 3 3 1 for three, 1 4 6 4 1 for four, etc.). One of the first aromatic organic radical anions studied by ESR spectroscopy was the naphthalene anion radical,1 the spectrum of which is shown in Figure 2.2. The spectrum consists of 25 lines, a quintet of quintets as expected for hyperfine coupling to two sets of four equivalent protons. 

Note For the triplet states the functions are given only for the Ms = 1 spin component. For all degenerate levels the a components (as given by the vector coupling coefficients of Table 2) are listed first, and these transform as +1 under oxz and the b components as - 1 under the same operation.

The recursive formulas that have been presented exhibit some advantages over classical batch processing. First, they avoid the inversion of the normal coefficient matrix, since we would usually process a few equations at a time. Obviously, when only one equation is involved each time, the inversion degenerates into computing the reciprocal of a scalar. Furthermore, these sequential relationships can also be used to isolate systematic errors that may be present in the data set, as will be shown in the next chapter. 

The Hamiltonians of the previous sections describe realistic vibrational spectra of linear triatomic molecules except when accidental degeneracies (resonances, cf. Section 3.3) occur. A particularly important case is that in which the bending overtone (02°0) is nearly degenerate with the stretching fundamental (10°0) of the same symmetry Fermi, 1929, resonance). This situation occurs when the coefficient in Eq. (4.67) is nearly equal to -A (Figure 4.13). The Majorana...
