Photoelectron spectroscopy provides a direct measure of the filled density of states of a solid. The kinetic energy distribution of the electrons that are emitted via the photoelectric effect when a sample is exposed to a monocluomatic ultraviolet (UV) or x-ray beam yields a photoelectron spectrum. Photoelectron spectroscopy not only provides the atomic composition, but also infonnation conceming the chemical enviromnent of the atoms in the near-surface region. Thus, it is probably the most popular and usefiil surface analysis teclmique. There are a number of fonus of photoelectron spectroscopy in conuuon use. 

In this chapter, the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics are introduced and applied to ideal and weakly interacting systems. The coimection between statistical mechanics and thennodynamics is made by introducing ensemble methods. The role of mechanics, both quantum and classical, is described. In particular, the concept and use of the density of states is utilized. Applications are made to ideal quantum and classical gases, ideal gas of diatomic molecules, photons and the black body radiation, phonons in a hannonic solid, conduction electrons in metals and the Bose—Einstein condensation. Introductory aspects of the density... 

Isolated gas ph ase molecules are th e sim plest to treat com pii tation -ally. Much, if not most, ch emistry lakes place in the liq iiid or solid state, however. To treat these condensed phases, you must simulate continnons, constant density, macroscopic conditions. The usual approach is to invoke periodic boundary conditions. These simulate a large system (order of 10" inoleeti les) as a contiruiotis replication in all direction s of a sm nII box, On ly th e m olceti Ics in the single small box are simulated and the other boxes arc just copies of the single box. 

Chapter 2 we worked through the two most commonly used quantum mechanical models r performing calculations on ground-state organic -like molecules, the ab initio and semi-ipirical approaches. We also considered some of the properties that can be calculated ing these techniques. In this chapter we will consider various advanced features of the ab Itio approach and also examine the use of density functional methods. Finally, we will amine the important topic of how quantum mechanics can be used to study the solid state. 

Within the periodic Hartree-Fock approach it is possible to incorporate many of the variants that we have discussed, such as LFHF or RHF. Density functional theory can also be used. I his makes it possible to compare the results obtained from these variants. Whilst density functional theory is more widely used for solid-state applications, there are certain types of problem that are currently more amenable to the Hartree-Fock method. Of particular ii. Icvance here are systems containing unpaired electrons, two recent examples being the clci tronic and magnetic properties of nickel oxide and alkaline earth oxides doped with alkali metal ions (Li in CaO) [Dovesi et al. 2000].

Iditional importance is that the vibrational modes are dependent upon the reciprocal e vector k. As with calculations of the electronic structure of periodic lattices these cal-ions are usually performed by selecting a suitable set of points from within the Brillouin. For periodic solids it is necessary to take this periodicity into account the effect on the id-derivative matrix is that each element x] needs to be multiplied by the phase factor k-r y). A phonon dispersion curve indicates how the phonon frequencies vary over tlie luin zone, an example being shown in Figure 5.37. The phonon density of states is ariation in the number of frequencies as a function of frequency. A purely transverse ition is one where the displacement of the atoms is perpendicular to the direction of on of the wave in a pmely longitudinal vibration tlie atomic displacements are in the ition of the wave motion. Such motions can be observed in simple systems (e.g. those contain just one or two atoms per unit cell) but for general three-dimensional lattices of the vibrations are a mixture of transverse and longitudinal motions, the exceptions...

Here we analyse the effect of variation in the incoming supply parameters (voltage and frequency) on the characteristics and performance of an induction motor (such as its flux density, speed, torque, h.p., etc). We also assess the effect of variation of one parameter on the other, and then choose the most appropriate solid-state scheme to achieve a required performance. We generally discuss the following schemes ...

Future trends will include studies of grain-dependent surface adsorption phenomena, such as gas-solid reactions and surface segregation. More frequent use of the element-specific CEELS version of REELM to complement SAM in probing the conduction-band density of states should occur. As commercially available SAM instruments improve their spot sizes, especially at low Eq with field emission sources, REELM will be possible at lateral resolutions approaching 10 nm without back scattered electron problems. 

In the solid state, the Ceo molecules crystallize into a cubic structure with a lattice constant of 14.17A, a nearest neighbor Ceo-Ceo distance of 10.02A [41], and a mass density of 1.72 g/cm (corresponding to 1.44 Ceo...
