Dirac exchange interaction

For identical hydrons, the symmetry postulate of identical particles has to be fulfilled. For protons and tritons this means that the overall wave function must be antisymmetric under particle exchange and for deuterons it must be symmetric under particle exchange. Due to this correlation of spin and spatial state, the energy difference A between the lowest two spatial eigenstates can be treated as a pure spin Hamiltonian, similar to the Dirac exchange interaction of electronic spins. 

Our treatment so far has dealt with non-interacting electrons, yet we know for sure that electrons do interact with each other. Dirac (1930b) studied the effects of exchange interactions on the Thomas-Fermi model, and he soon discovered that this effect could be modelled by adding an extra term... 

About the same time, Douglas Hartree, along with other members of the informal club for theoretical physics at Cambridge University called the Del-Squared Club, began studying approximate methods to describe many-electron atoms. Hartree developed the method of the self-consistent field, which was improved by Vladimir Fock and Slater in early 1930, so as to incorporate the Pauli principle ab initio.37 Dirac, another Del-Squared member, published a paper in 1929 which focused on the exchange interaction of identical particles. This work became part of what soon became called the Heisenberg-Dirac approach.38... 

The Xa multiple scattering method generates approximate singledeterminant wavefunctions, in which the non-local exchange interaction of the Hartree-Fock method has been replaced by a local term, as in the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac model. The orbitals are solutions of the one-electron differential equation (in atomic units)... 

It is known (Chap. A) that Koopmans theorem is not vahd for the wavefunctions and eigenvalues of strongly bound states in an atom or in the cores of a solid, i.e. for those states which are a solution of the Schrodinger (or Dirac) equation in a central potential. In them the ejection (or the emission) of one-electron in the electron system means a strong change in Coulomb and exchange interactions, with the consequent modification of the energy scheme as well as of the electronic wavefunction, in contradiction to Koopmans theorem. 

The I So) state couples to the symmetric ground para-state to form a singlet manifold and the T ) states couple to the odd ortho-state and forms the triplet manifold. The splitting between these states is described by the quantum mechanical exchange interaction, which was given by Dirac in the form... 

Several kinds of exchange interactions, which couple the magnetic centres, are distinguished the (bilinear) isotropic, asymmetric, antisymmetric, biquadratic and double exchange. Various fine-structure Hamiltonian terms enter the spin-spin coupling tensor D these were derived from the relativistic Dirac and Breit equation. 

The first term on the right-hand side of (1.59) represents the direct interaction whereas the second term represents the exchange interaction. It is sometimes convenient to replace the factor (-1) with the Dirac operator... 

After the discovery of the relativistic wave equation for the electron by Dirac in 1928, it seems that all the problems in condensed-matter physics become a matter of mathematics. However, the theoretical calculations for surfaces were not practical until the discovery of the density-functional formalism by Hohenberg and Kohn (1964). Although it is already simpler than the Hartree-Fock formalism, the form of the exchange and correlation interactions in it is still too complicated for practical problems. Kohn and Sham (1965) then proposed the local density approximation, which assumes that the exchange and correlation interaction at a point is a universal function of the total electron density at the same point, and uses a semiempirical analytical formula to represent such universal interactions. The resulting equations, the Kohn-Sham equations, are much easier to handle, especially by using modern computers. This method has been the standard approach for first-principles calculations for solid surfaces. 

In this derivation, it was assumed that the charge-transfer complex is formed between the p- or n- primary dopant and the gas acts as a secondary dopant. In fact, the interaction of the secondary dopant with any energy state in the matrix is possible that would lead to the same result, as long as the exchanged electron density becomes part of the electron population governed by the Fermi-Dirac statistics. The analytical utility of this relationship has been shown for several inorganic gases (Janata and Josowicz, 2003). 

To account for the interchannel coupling, or, which is the same, electron correlation in calculations of photoionization parameters, various many-body theories exist. In this paper, following Refs. [20,29,30,33], the focus is on results obtained in the framework of both the nonrelativistic random phase approximation with exchange (RPAE) [55] and its relativistic analogy the relativistic random phase approximation (RRPA) [56]. RPAE makes use of a nonrelativistic HF approximation as the zero-order approximation. RRPA is based upon the relativistic Dirac HF approximation as the zero-order basis, so that relativistic effects are included not as perturbations but explicitly. Both RPAE and RRPA implicitly sum up certain electron-electron perturbations, including the interelectron interaction between electrons from...
