Eigenvalue dynamic correlations

Odelius and co-workers reported some time ago an important study involving a combined quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the ZFS fluctuations in aqueous Ni(II) (128). The ab initio calculations for hexa-aquo Ni(II) complex were used to generate an expression for the ZFS as a function of the distortions of the idealized 7), symmetry of the complex along the normal modes of Eg and T2s symmetries. An MD simulation provided a 200 ps trajectory of motion of a system consisting of a Ni(II) ion and 255 water molecules, which was analyzed in terms of the structure and dynamics of the first solvation shell of the ion. The fluctuations of the structure could be converted in the time variation of the ZFS. The distribution of eigenvalues of ZFS tensor was found to be consistent with the rhombic, rather than axial, symmetry of the tensor, which prompted the development of the analytical theory mentioned above (89). The time-correlation... 

The dynamic RIS model developed for investigating local chain dynamics is further improved and applied to POE. A set of eigenvalues characterizes the dynamic behaviour of a given segment of N motional bonds, with v isomeric states available to each bond. The rates of transitions between isomeric states are assumed to be inversely proportional to solvent viscosity. Predictions are in satisfactory agreement with the isotropic correlation times and spin-lattice relaxation times from 13C and 1H NMR experiments for POE. 

Nonlinear analysis requires the use of new techniques such as embedding of data, calculating correlation dimensions, Lyapunov exponents, eigenvalues of singular-valued matrices, and drawing trajectories in phase space. There are many excellent reviews and books that introduce the subject matter of nonlinear dynamics and chaos [515,596-599]. 

In general, an abstract Boolean diagram with a dimension greater than three underlies these semilattices. The reaction lattices as well as the reaction semilattices contain dynamic sublattices or semilattices. The abstract diagrams on which they are based allow the definition of a norm to describe the reaction path continuously by eigenvalue correlation diagrams. The normed lattice can be... 

Comparing the two ways considered above one may conclude that the later approach - the generalized collective mode approach - has some important advantages. In particular, this method is especially promising in combination with molecular dynamics, because the time correlation time To (/> ), appearing in T(fc), can be directly calculated in MD simulations. Moreover, the eigenvalues problem can be formulated for initial set of nonorthogonal dynamic variables Pfc = Ak, iL- Ak, , the dynamics of... 

Table III contains correlation times and dominant eigenvalues for a second rank observable in a first rank potential. There are still roughly two ranges of decay rates when the solvent body is slow (D, 1). The slower range is mostly due to the FRD of the solvent body, while the faster one is described by motions of the solute body and/or dynamic interactions. This faster decay is hardly described by a single frequency, unlike the case of a first rank correlation function. Rather, it is controlled by a few eigenvalues of the same order of magnitude. Thus for Dj = 0.01 and Uj = 2 the slow mode, entry 3a in Table III, is largely described by a 7, = 0, 72 = 2 term the fast mode 3b is mostly due to dynamic interactions (7j = 1, 72 = 1 and 7, = 1, 72 = 3 are the important terms) and the fast...

In the more general case of a correlated system, the dynamic self energy does not vanish and thus the eigenvalues of the primary block eire generally not the exact excitation energies. 

The upper band is qualitatively the same as the simple two-band model discussed in section 3.1.2, but the band mass at zero temperature is enhanced by roughly a factor of 5 for fi 0) = 13r], where /r(0) is the Fermi level as temperature T=0 (Liu 1987, 1988). This factor plus the correlation effect due to Uk could put the mass enhancement factor to within the measured range of 20-30. When there are many f levels and many broad bands as in a real LDA calculation, there should be a one-to-one correspondence between the model bands and the LDA bands at the Fermi level. On the other hand, until the f hole screening dynamics can be calculated from realistic band eigenvalues and eigenstates, the present theory should only be considered qualitative or at most semi-quantitative. The quantity /r(0) cannot be determined with certainty, and we will treat it as a parameter in the model calculation.
