Number electron

Only the quantities the electron number density, and the coUision cross section, present any difficulty in their calculation. 

The actual electron density is —eP(r), but authors speak about / (r), which is strictly the electron number density, as if it were the same thing. I will follow this sloppy (but common) usage from time to time. 

The key papers in the field were written by physicists. They tend to write n(r) for the electron number density, i.e. P(r). I have kept to the original wording in the following abstract, but you should mentally switch to P r) for n(r).

It is shown that the numbers of valence electrons assigned to the y-alloys, /3-manganese and alloys with similar structure, and a-manganese by a new system of metallic valences agree closely with the electron numbers calculated for complete filling of important Brillouin poly-... 

The compound CusSi, which with the older valences has the same calculated electron number as AgsAl, leads with the new system to a different electron density, 104 electrons per unit cell. 

It was reported by Fagerberg and Westgren20 that the compound CoZn3 also crystallizes with the /3-manganese structure. The electron number... 

The resonating-valence-bond theory of metals discussed in this paper differs from the older theory in making use of all nine stable outer orbitals of the transition metals, for occupancy by unshared electrons and for use in bond formation the number of valency electrons is consequently considered to be much larger for these metals than has been hitherto accepted. The metallic orbital, an extra orbital necessary for unsynchronized resonance of valence bonds, is considered to be the characteristic structural feature of a metal. It has been found possible to develop a system of metallic radii that permits a detailed discussion to be given of the observed interatomic distances of a metal in terms of its electronic structure. Some peculiar metallic structures can be understood by use of the postulate that the most simple fractional bond orders correspond to the most stable modes of resonance of bonds. The existence of Brillouin zones is compatible with the resonating-valence-bond theory, and the new metallic valencies for metals and alloys with filled-zone properties can be correlated with the electron numbers for important Brillouin polyhedra. 

The uncertainties given are calculated standard deviations. Analysis of the interatomic distances yields a selfconsistent interpretation in which Zni is assumed to be quinquevalent and Znn quadrivalent, while Na may have a valence of unity or one as high as lj, the excess over unity being suggested by the interatomic distances and being, if real, presumably a consequence of electron transfer. A valence electron number of approximately 432 per unit cell is obtained, which is in good agreement with the value 428-48 predicted on the basis of a filled Brillouin polyhedron defined by the forms 444, 640, and 800. ... 

The symbol ( S—]+ represents tercovalent argononic sulfur. Like Si, it is argononic in that, counting shared as well as unshared electron pairs, it has four pairs in its outer shell, giving it the electron number of argon. A tercovalent argononic sulfur atom resembles a normal (neutral) tercovalent phosphorus atom. The bond orbitals of S + are similar to those of S. ... 

For alloys of iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper the calculated values of saturation magnetic moments agree closely with the observed values in particular, the maximum value of about 2.48 magnetons at electron number about 26.3 is reproduced by the theory. There is, however, only rough agreement between the observed and calculated values of the Curie temperature. 

At least for the case of a non-degenerate ground state of a closed shell system, it is possible to delineate the standard Kohn-Sham procedure quite sharply. (The caveat is directed toward issues of degeneracy at the Fermi level, fractional occupation, continuous non-integer electron number, and the like. In many but of course not all works, these aspects of the theory seem to be... 

An important specific feature of the present experiment is worth noting. The X-ray photons have energies that are several orders of magnitude larger than those of optical photons. The pump and probe processes thus evolve on different time scales and can be treated separately. It is convenient to start with the X-ray probing processes, and treat them by Maxwellian electrodynamics. The pumping processes are studied next using statistical mechanics of nonlinear optical processes. The electron number density n(r,t), supposed to be known in the first step, is actually calculated in this second step. 

In the previous Maxwelhan description of X-ray diffraction, the electron number density n(r, t) was considered to be a known function of r,t. In reality, this density is modulated by the laser excitation and is not known a priori. However, it can be determined using methods of statistical mechanics of nonlinear optical processes, similar to those used in time-resolved optical spectroscopy [4]. The laser-generated electric field can be expressed as E(r, t) = Eoo(0 exp(/(qQr ot)), where flo is the optical frequency and q the corresponding wavevector. The calculation can be sketched as follows.

The calibrated m/z = 44 and m/z = 60 ion currents were converted into the respective partial reaction faradaic currents as described above, and are plotted in Fig. 13.3c as dashed (m/z = 44) and dash-dotted (m/z = 60) lines, using electron numbers of 6 electrons per CO2 molecule and 4 electrons per formic acid molecule formation. The calculated partial current for complete methanol oxidation to CO2 contributes only about one-half of the measured faradaic current. The partial current of methanol oxidation to formic acid is in the range of a few percent of the total methanol oxidation current. The remaining difference, after subtracting the PtO formation/reduction currents and pseudocapacitive contributions as described above, is plotted in Fig. 13.3c (top panel) as a dotted line. As mentioned above (see the beginning of Section 13.3.2), we attribute this current difference to the partial current of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde. This way, we were able to extract the partial currents of all three major products during methanol oxidation reaction, which are otherwise not accessible. 

The electrons supplied by the ligands and the valence electrons of the n metal atoms of an M cluster are added to a total electron number g. The number of M-M bonds (polyhedron edges) then is ...
