Eigenvalues angle

Normally the orbitals are real, and the unitary transformation becomes an orthogonal transformation. In the case of only two orbitals, the X matrix contains the rotation angle a, and the U matrix describes a 2 by 2 rotation. The connection between X and U is illustrated in Chapter 13 (Figure 13.2) and involves diagonalization of X (to give eigenvalues of ia), exponentiation (to give complex exponentials which may be witten as cos a i sin a), follow by backtransformation. 

It is now shown how the abrupt changes in the eigenvalue distribution around the central critical point relate to changes in the classical mechanics, bearing in mind that the analog of quantization in classical mechanics is a transformation of the Hamiltonian from a representation in the variables pR, p, R, 0) to one in angle-action variables (/, /e, Qr, 0) such that the transformed Hamiltonian depends only on the actions 1r, /e) [37]. Hamilton s equations diR/dt = (0///00 j), etc.) then show that the actions are constants of the motion, which are related to the quantum numbers by the Bohr correspondence principle [23]. In the present case,... 

Thus () is an eigenvalue of Lz with eigenvalue The angle-dependent part of the wave equation is seen to contain wave functions which are eigenfunctions of both the total angular momentum as well as the component of angular momentum along the polar axis. 

There is nothing special about the z-axis, since all directions in space are equivalent. The only reason why it is easier to solve the Lz eigenvalue equation (compared to Lx and Ly) is because it has a simpe form in spherical polar coordinates, which involves only the angle of rotation about the z-axis.

Equation (47) gives rise to a 4 X 4 matrix the eigenvalues (energy levels) of which were obtained by solving these matrices on a 704 computer as a function of G/D (G = gfiH) and the angle B of the symmetry axis relative... 

The px, Py and pz orbitals are eigenfunctions of the if angular momentum operator with eigenvalues equal to L(L+1 )4f = 2 hf. Since if andLz commute and act on the same (angle) coordinates, they possess a complete set of simultaneous eigenfunctions.
