Effective Hamiltonian abstract

Physically, why does a temi like the Darling-Dennison couplmg arise We have said that the spectroscopic Hamiltonian is an abstract representation of the more concrete, physical Hamiltonian fomied by letting the nuclei in the molecule move with specified initial conditions of displacement and momentum on the PES, with a given total kinetic plus potential energy. This is the sense in which the spectroscopic Hamiltonian is an effective Hamiltonian, in the nomenclature used above. The concrete Hamiltonian that it mimics is expressed in temis of particle momenta and displacements, in the representation given by the nomial coordinates. Then, in general, it may contain temis proportional to all the powers of the products of the... 

Abstract. Following a suggestion of Kostelecky et al. we have evaluated a test of CPT and Lorentz invariance from the microwave spectrosopy of muonium. Precise measurements have been reported for the transition frequencies U12 and 1/34 for ground state muonium in a magnetic field H of 1.7 T, both of which involve principally muon spin flip. These frequencies depend on both the hyperfine interaction and Zeeman effect. Hamiltonian terms beyond the standard model which violate CPT and Lorentz invariance would contribute shifts <5 12 and <5 34. The nonstandard theory indicates that P12 and 34 should oscillate with the earth s sidereal frequency and that 5v 2 and <5 34 would be anticorrelated. We find no time dependence in m2 — vza at the level of 20 Hz, which is used to set an upper limit on the size of CPT and Lorentz violating parameters. 

This approach for the development of multiple-pulse sequences is only practical if a large number of sequences can be assessed in a short period of time. The final assessment of the quality of a multiple-pulse sequence must always be based on experiments. However, for the optimization of multiple-pulse sequences, experimental approaches are, in general, too slow and too expensive (instrument time ). An attractive alternative to experiments at the spectrometer is formed by numerical simulations, that is, experiments in the computer. In simulations it is also possible to take relaxation and experimental imperfections such as phase errors or rf inhomogeneity into account. In addition to the direct translation of a laboratory experiment into a computer experiment, it is possible to numerically assess the properties of a multiple-pulse sequence on several abstract levels, for example, based on the created effective Hamiltonian. If simple necessary conditions can be defined for a multiple-pulse sequence with the... 

The experimentally achievable localized excitations are typically described by one of the zero-order basis states (see Section 3.2), which are eigenstates of a part of the total molecular Hamiltonian. Localization can be in a part of the molecule or, more abstractly, in state space . The localized excitations are often described by extremely bad quantum numbers. The evolution of initially localized excitations is often more complex and fascinating than an exponential decay into a nondescript bath or continuum in which all memory of the nature of the initial excitation is monotonically lost. The terms in the effective Hamiltonian that give birth to esoteric details of a spectrum, such as fine structure, lambda doubling, quantum interference effects (both lineshapes and transition intensity patterns), and spectroscopic perturbations, are the factors that control the evolution of an initially localized excitation. These factors convey causality and mechanism rather than mere spectral complexity. 

Abstract In this chapter we examine some basic concepts of quantum chemistry to give a solid foundation for the other chapters. We do not pretend to review all the basics of quantum mechanics but rather focus on some specific topics that are central in the theoretical description of magnetic phenomena in molecules and extended systems. First, we will shortly review the Slater-Condon rules for the matrix elements between Slater determinants, then we will extensively discuss the generation of spin functions. Perturbation theory and effective Hamiltonians are fundamental tools for understanding and to capture the complex physics of open shell systems in simpler concepts. Therefore, the last three sections of this introductory chapter are dedicated to standard Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory, quasi-degenerate perturbation theory and the construction of effective Hamiltonians. 

Abstract Taking a binuclear copper complex as model system, the isotropic magnetic coupling is decomposed into different contributions. Perturbative expressions of the main contributions are derived and illustrated with numerical examples. An effective Hamiltonian is constructed that incorporates all important electron correlation effects and establishes a connection between the complex A-electron wave functions and the simpler qualitative methods discussed in the previous chapter. Subsequently an outline is given of the analysis of the coupling with a single determinant approach and the biquadratic and four-center interactions are decomposed. The chapter closes with the recently proposed method to extract DFT estimates for these complex interactions. 

Abstract This chapter introduces to the basic definitions of the PCM model for a molecular solute. The basic electrostatic problem for the determination of the solute-solvent interaction is described within the Integral Equation Formalism (lEF-PCM), and the QM problem associated to the effective Hamiltonian of the molecular solute is formulated in terms of a basic energy functional which has the thermodynamic status of a free-energy for the entire solute-solvent system. The QM problems for the molecular solute is exemplified at the Hartree-Fock and at the coupled-cluster level methods.

Abstract. Investigation of P,T-parity nonconservation (PNC) phenomena is of fundamental importance for physics. Experiments to search for PNC effects have been performed on TIE and YbF molecules and are in progress for PbO and PbF molecules. For interpretation of molecular PNC experiments it is necessary to calculate those needed molecular properties which cannot be measured. In particular, electronic densities in heavy-atom cores are required for interpretation of the measured data in terms of the P,T-odd properties of elementary particles or P,T-odd interactions between them. Reliable calculations of the core properties (PNC effect, hyperfine structure etc., which are described by the operators heavily concentrated in atomic cores or on nuclei) usually require accurate accounting for both relativistic and correlation effects in heavy-atom systems. In this paper, some basic aspects of the experimental search for PNC effects in heavy-atom molecules and the computational methods used in their electronic structure calculations are discussed. The latter include the generalized relativistic effective core potential (GRECP) approach and the methods of nonvariational and variational one-center restoration of correct shapes of four-component spinors in atomic cores after a two-component GRECP calculation of a molecule. Their efficiency is illustrated with calculations of parameters of the effective P,T-odd spin-rotational Hamiltonians in the molecules PbF, HgF, YbF, BaF, TIF, and PbO.

Abstract Keeping in mind the pedagogical goal of the presentation the first third of the review is devoted to the basic definitions and to the description of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect. Among different approaches to the intersite electron correlation in crystals the preference is with the most fundamental and systematic Hamiltonian shift transformation method. Order parameter equations and their connection to the crystal elastic properties and to the orbital ordering are considered. An especial attention is paid to the dynamics of Jahn-Teller crystals based on the coupled electronic, vibrational, and magnetic excitations which are of big interest nowadays in orbital physics. 

Abstract Variational methods can determine a wide range of atomic properties for bound states of simple as well as complex atomic systems. Even for relatively light atoms, relativistic effects may be important. In this chapter we review systematic, large-scale variational procedures that include relativistic effects through either the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian or the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian but where correlation is the main source of uncertainty. Correlation is included in a series of calculations of increasing size for which results can be monitored and accuracy estimated. Examples are presented and further developments mentioned. 

Abstract We present an approach based on the quadratic vibronic coupling (QVC) Hamiltonian [NewJ Chem 17 7-29,1993] and the effective-mode formalism [Phys Rev Lett 94 113003, 2005] for the short-time dynamics through conical intersections in complex molecular systems. Within this scheme the nuclear degrees of freedom of the whole system are split as system modes and as environment modes. To describe the short-time dynamics in the macrosystem precisely, only three effective environmental modes together with the system s modes are needed.
