Electron distances

As a fiinction of the inter-electron distance, the fluctuation potential decays to zero more rapidly than does the mean-field potential. Flowever, the magnitude of Fis quite large and remains so over an appreciable range of inter-electron distances. The corrections to the mean-field picture are therefore quite large when measured in... 

The second contribution to the energy arises from the electrostatic repulsion between pairs III electrons. This interaction depends on the electron-electron distance and, as we have seen, is calculated from infegrals such as ... 

A method that avoids making the HF mistakes in the first place is called quantum Monte Carlo (QMC). There are several types of QMC variational, dilfusion, and Greens function Monte Carlo calculations. These methods work with an explicitly correlated wave function. This is a wave function that has a function of the electron-electron distance (a generalization of the original work by Hylleraas).

Electron correlation is inherently a multi-electron phenomenon, and we believe that the retention of explicit two-electron information in the Wigner intracule lends itself to its description (i). It has been well established that electron correlation is related to the inter-electronic distance, but it has also been suggested (4) that the relative momentum of two electrons should be considered which led us to suggest that the Hartree-Fock (HF) Wigner intracule contains information which can yield the electron correlation energy. The calculation of this correlation energy, like HF, formally scales as N. ... 

The kinetics data of the geminate ion recombination in irradiated liquid hydrocarbons obtained by the subpicosecond pulse radiolysis was analyzed by Monte Carlo simulation based on the diffusion in an electric field [77,81,82], The simulation data were convoluted by the response function and fitted to the experimental data. By transforming the time-dependent behavior of cation radicals to the distribution function of cation radical-electron distance, the time-dependent distribution was obtained. Subsequently, the relationship between the space resolution and the space distribution of ionic species was discussed. The space distribution of reactive intermediates produced by radiation is very important for advanced science and technology using ionizing radiation such as nanolithography and nanotechnology [77,82].

The dotted and the solid lines represent the experimental curve and the simulation curve, respectively. The parameters of the electron dilfusion coefficient (De) = 6.4 x 10 " cm /sec, the cation radical diffusion coefficient (D + ) = 6.0 x 10 cm /sec, the relative dielectric constant e = 2.01, the reaction radius R = 0.5 nm, and the exponential function as shown in Eq. (19) with ro = 6.6 nm were used, (b) Time-dependent distribution function obtained from fitting curve of (a), r indicates the distance between the cation radical and the electron. The solid line, dashed line, and dots represent the distribution of cation radical-electron distance at 0, 30, and 100 psec after irradiation, respectively. 

If we only consider the static case w = 0we can distinguish two limiting cases First, if the typical range rjj of the screened Coulomb potential Vc is much smaller than the mean electron distance, the potential can be assumed to be a delta distribution and Ttc can be approximated by... 

In summary, it appears that the chemical activity of the elements is based primarily on electron configuration and then on outermost electron distance from the nucleus. Mostly because of their electron configuration, the transition metals, in the middle of the periodic table (next to the noble gases), are the most stable elements. They are not very reactive with other elements. This is why these transition metals, the so-called heavy metals, make such good jewelry material. However, other important factors are their shiny luster, ductility, and malleability.

A change of coordinate follows the electron jump, which turns on the sudden repulsion between A and B. Considering that the electron distance Rc is large, no interaction is assumed between D+ and the departing B moiety. 

From the D value the distance between the two impaired electrons was determined as 998 pm. This is consistent with our formulation of the diradical as 4, in which the electron-electron distance is approximately 1000 pm in the trans-trans stereoisomer [9].
