Electron spectroscopy calculations

Its first use is perhaps the simulation of electronic dynamics like atoms and molecules in strong electric fields for example [211-214]. This is also an approach to electronic spectroscopy, calculating the electronic response to applied time-dependent potentials. The time-dependant electronic susceptibility is indeed the time-dependent reponse to a Dirac like perturbation. 

Section BT1.2 provides a brief summary of experimental methods and instmmentation, including definitions of some of the standard measured spectroscopic quantities. Section BT1.3 reviews some of the theory of spectroscopic transitions, especially the relationships between transition moments calculated from wavefiinctions and integrated absorption intensities or radiative rate constants. Because units can be so confusing, numerical factors with their units are included in some of the equations to make them easier to use. Vibrational effects, die Franck-Condon principle and selection mles are also discussed briefly. In the final section, BT1.4. a few applications are mentioned to particular aspects of electronic spectroscopy. 

Because of point 2, rotational microwave and millimetre wave spectroscopy are powerllil techniques for determining dipole moments. However, the direction of the dipole moment cannot be determined. In the case of 0=C=S, for which /r = 0.715 21 0.000 20 D [(2.3857 0.0007) x 10 ° C m], a simple electronegativity argument leads to the correct conclusion - that the oxygen end of the molecule is the negative end of the dipole. However, in CO, the value of 0.112 D (3.74 x 10 C m) is so small that only accurate electronic stmcture calculations can be relied upon to conclude correctly that the carbon end is the negative one.

The film thickness and retractive index were calculated using spectroscopic ellipsometry. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used for composition analysis. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was used to investigate the depth profiles of the film.
