Electrical properties formalism

While Stern recognized that formally one should include the capacitance between the 1HP and OHP in the interface model, he concluded that the error introduced into the electrical properties predicted for the interface would usually be small if the second capacitance were neglected, and 2 were set equal to. ... 

For purposes of surface fitting ab initio grid points, as mentioned earlier, it is advantageous to know the functional forms of major terms that is, the electrical property terms. A straightforward, formal analysis readily provides this information. 

First, quantum mechanics methods and the formalism of the theoretical calculation of electrical properties for finite and infinite systems, level of theory implemented such as methods and basis sets, and single molecule conductance of molecular junctions are described. 

To be able to use mathematical proof techniques, some formalism for describing both specification and implementation has to be used. PTL, described in section 4, is one such formalism. In PTL, the specification is naturally described as an STG, but the implementation cannot be described directly as layout. Instead, transistor netlist extraction is typically used to get a switch-level description of the circuit layout. This type of description still has the disadvantage of containing too many electrical properties. A verification tool starting from this description must be able to understand domino logic, pseudo NMOS, dynamic storage elements, asynchronous circuits, etc. 

Macedo and others (Hodge et al. [1975, 1976]) have stressed the electric modulus formalism (M = 1/c ) for dealing with conducting materials, for the reason that it emphasizes bulk properties at the expense of interfacial polarization. Equation (112) transforms to... 

When any molecule is in the external electric field the new electric property of it, connected with the polarization of the molecule, appears. The polarization leads to the dependence of the electrical dipole moment on the field F. This dependence may be formally represented by the Taylor series (see 2.3.1 and 2.3.2)... 

Only static and dynamic molecular properties involving electric dipole and quadrupole operators will be discussed below. However, electric properties related to higher-order electric multipole operators can also be determined in a similar manner to the properties described here, in terms of expectation values, linear and nonlinear response functions. Nevertheless, it should be kept in mind that although the same formalism is applied in the calculation of response functions involving octupole, hexadecapole, and higher moments, in practice it may... 

X2C ( eXact 2-Component ) is an umbrella acronym [56] for a variety of methods that arrive at an exactly decoupled two-component Hamiltonian, with X2C referring to one-step approaches [65]. Related methods to arrive at formally exact two-component relativistic operators are, for example, infinite-order methods by Barysz and coworkers (BSS = Barysz Sadlej Snijders, lOTC = infinite-order two-component) [66-69] and normalized elimination of the small component (NESC) methods [70-77]. We discuss here an X2C approach as it has been implemented in a full two-component form with spin-orbit (SO) coupling and transformation of electric property operators to account for picture-change (PC) corrections [14],... 

General properties and definitions of polarizabilities can be introduced without invoking the complete DFT formalism by considering first an elementary model the dipole of an isolated, spherical atom induced by a uniform electric field. The variation of the electronic density is represented by a simple scalar the induced atomic dipole moment. This coarse-grained (CG) model of the electronic density permits to derive a useful explicit energy functional where the functional derivatives are formulated in terms of polarizabilities and dipole hardnesses. 

In this section we are concerned with the properties of intrinsic Schottky and Frenkel disorder in pure ionic conducting crystals and with the same systems doped with aliovalent cations. As already remarked in Section I, the properties of uni-univalent crystals, e.g. sodium choride and silver bromide which contain Schottky and cationic Frenkel disorder respectively, doped with divalent cation impurities are of particular interest. At low concentrations the impurity is incorporated substitutionally together with an additional cation vacancy to preserve electrical neutrality. At sufficiently low temperatures the concentration of intrinsic defects in a doped crystal is negligible compared with the concentration of added defects. We shall first mention briefly the theoretical methods used for such systems and then review the use of the cluster formalism.
