Density models

In lower pressure environments, the wave profiles are dominated by the consequences of deformation of the samples to fill the voids. This irreversible crush-up process strongly controls the wave speeds, which have anomalously low values at low initial sample densities. Modeling of this problem is... 

Both space-filling and electron density models yield similar molecular volumes, and both show the obvious differences in overall size. Because the electron density surfaces provide no discernible boundaries between atoms (and employ no colors to highlight these boundaries), the surfaces may appear to be less informative than space-filling models in helping to decide to what extent a particular atom is exposed . This weakness raises an important point, however. Electrons are associated with a molecule as a whole and not with individual atoms. The space-filling representation of a molecule in terms of discernible atoms does not reflect reality, but rather is an artifact of the model. The electron density surface is more accurate in that it shows a single electron cloud for the entire molecule. 

Just to remind you, the electron density and therefore the exchange potential are both scalar fields they vary depending on the position in space r. We often refer to models that make use of such exchange potentials as local density models. The disagreement between Slater s and Dirac s numerical coefficients was quickly resolved, and authors began to write the exchange potential as...

For fluid particles that continuously coalesce and breakup and where the bubble size distributions have local variations, there is still no generally accepted model available and the existing models are contradictory [20]. A population density model is required to describe the changing bubble and drop size. Usually, it is sufficient to simulate a handful of sizes or use some quadrature model, for example, direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM) to decrease the number of variables.

Spin densities determine many properties of radical species, and have an important effect on the chemical reactivity within the family of the most reactive substances containing free radicals. Momentum densities represent an alternative description of a microscopic many-particle system with emphasis placed on aspects different from those in the more conventional position space particle density model. In particular, momentum densities provide a description of molecules that, in some sense, turns the usual position space electron density model inside out , by reversing the relative emphasis of the peripheral and core regions of atomic neighborhoods. 

Because of the limitation intrinsic to the adoption of an explicit parametrised density model, many crystallographers have been dreaming of disposing of such models altogether. The thermally-smeared charge density in the crystal can of course be obtained without an explicit density model, by Fourier summation of the (phased) structure factor amplitudes, but the resulting map is affected by the experimental noise, and by all series-termination artefacts that are intrinsic to Fourier synthesis of an incomplete, finite-resolution set of coefficients. 

At each stage of the refinement of a new set of parameters, the hat matrix diagonal elements were calculated in order to detect the influential observations following the criterium of Velleman and Welsh [8,9]. The inspection of the residues of such reflections revealed those which are aberrant but progressively, these aberrations disappeared when the pseudo-atoms model was used (introduction of multipoler coefficients). This fact confirms that the determination of the phases in acentric structures is improved by sophisticated models like the multipole density model.

Models are also required for analysis of the transport. For calculations of current/ voltage curves, current density, inelastic electron scattering, response to external electromagnetic fields, and control of transport by changes in geometry, one builds transport models. These are generally conceptual - more will be said below on the current density models and IETS models that are used to interpret those experiments within molecular transport junctions.

It is also planned to continue crystal density modeling studies in collaboration with Prof. Ammon with the expectation that comparison of predicted with experimental (X-ray derived) crystal density values will permit further refinement of the MOLPAK/WMIN computational approach. In this way, the predictive value of this computational method is likely to be enhanced, thereby rendering it of greater value for preliminary screening of proposed new candidate fuel systems as potential synthetic targets.

Concerning the nature of Lewis basic sites, little work has been done to establish general rules and models, except for alkaline earth metal oxides and zeolites. With respect to the former, i.e., the nature of oxygen Lewis basic sites on alkaline earth metal oxide catalysts, a charge-density model predicts that the strength of the sites decreases in the order > OH > H2O > H30. ...

A number of different atom-centered multipole models are available. We distinguish between valence-density models, in which the density functions represent all electrons in the valence shell, and deformation-density models, in which the aspherical functions describe the deviation from the IAM atomic density. In the former, the aspherical density is added to the unperturbed core density, as in the K-formalism, while in the latter, the aspherical density is superimposed on the isolated atom density, but the expansion and contraction of the valence density is not treated explicitly. 

As discussed in the previous section, a residual density calculated after least-squares refinement will have minimal features. This is confirmed by experience (Dawson 1964, O Connell et al. 1966, Ruysink and Vos 1974). Least-biased structural parameters are needed if the adequacy of a charge density model is to be investigated. Such parameters can be obtained by neutron diffraction, from high-order X-ray data, or by using the modified scattering models discussed in chapter 3. 

The model by Grillaert et al. addresses step height dependencies and includes a density dependence. Smith et al. [48] integrated the effective pattern density model described earlier with the time and step-height dependent model of Grillaert et al. to accurately predict both up and down area polishing. The resulting analytic expression for the up area amount removed (AR) is...

Three types of exchange/correlation functionals are presently in use (i) functionals based on the local spin density approximation, (ii) functionals based on the generalized gradient approximation, and (iii) functionals which employ the exact Hartree-Fock exchange as a component. The first of these are referred to as local density models, while the second two are collectively referred to as non-local models or alternatively as gradient-corrected models.
