Energy Level of Electrons

The rotation-vibration-electronic energy levels of the PH3 molecule (neglecting nuclear spin) can be labelled with the irreducible representation labels of the group The character table of this group is given in table Al.4.10. 

A typical x-ray photoelectron spectmm consists of a plot of the iatensity of photoelectrons as a function of electron E or Ej A sample is shown ia Figure 8 for Ag (21). In this spectmm, discrete photoelectron responses from the cote and valence electron energy levels of the Ag atoms ate observed. These electrons ate superimposed on a significant background from the Bremsstrahlung radiation inherent ia n onm on ochrom a tic x-ray sources (see below) which produces an increa sing number of photoelectrons as decreases. Also observed ia the spectmm ate lines due to x-ray excited Auger electrons. 

The lines of primary interest ia an xps spectmm ate those reflecting photoelectrons from cote electron energy levels of the surface atoms. These ate labeled ia Figure 8 for the Ag 3, 3p, and 3t7 electrons. The sensitivity of xps toward certain elements, and hence the surface sensitivity attainable for these elements, is dependent upon intrinsic properties of the photoelectron lines observed. The parameter governing the relative iatensities of these cote level peaks is the photoionization cross-section, (. This parameter describes the relative efficiency of the photoionization process for each cote electron as a function of element atomic number. Obviously, the photoionization efficiency is not the same for electrons from the same cote level of all elements. This difference results ia variable surface sensitivity for elements even though the same cote level electrons may be monitored. 

Whereas the gas lasers described use energy levels characteristic of individual atoms or ions, laser operation can also employ molecular energy levels. Molecular levels may correspond to vibrations and rotations, in contrast to the electronic energy levels of atomic and ionic species. The energies associated with vibrations and rotations tend to be lower than those of electronic transitions thus the output wavelengths of the molecular lasers tend to He farther into the infrared.

The preceding empirical measures have taken chemical reactions as model processes. Now we consider a different class of model process, namely, a transition from one energy level to another within a molecule. The various forms of spectroscopy allow us to observe these transitions thus, electronic transitions give rise to ultraviolet—visible absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra. Because of solute-solvent interactions, the electronic energy levels of a solute are influenced by the solvent in which it is dissolved therefore, the absorption and fluorescence spectra contain information about the solute-solvent interactions. A change in electronic absorption spectrum caused by a change in the solvent is called solvatochromism.

S = electronic state, different lines within each state represent different vibrational levels. Blue arrows represent absorption events, green arrows depict internal conversion or heat dissipation, and orange arrows indicate fluorescence emission. Intersystem crossing into triplet states has been omitted for simplicity (see also Chaps. 1 and 12).

As discussed in Chapter 4.3, the interaction with the metal broadens the electronic energy levels of an adsorbate. If r is the average lifetime of an electron before it is transferred to the metal, the associated energy broadening is A = h/r. In a simple approximation the density of states of the adsorbate has a Lorenz shape [6] ... 

The value of this standard molar Gibbs energy, p°(T), found in data compilations, is obtained by integration from 0 K of the heat capacity determined by the translational, rotational, vibrational and electronic energy levels of the gas. These are determined experimentally by spectroscopic methods [14], However, contrary to what we shall see for condensed phases, the effect of pressure often exceeds the effect of temperature. Hence for gases most attention is given to the equations of state. 

In gases (atomic or ionic) the electronic energy levels of free atoms are narrow, since they are diluted systems and perturbation by the surroundings is very weak. An important fact derived from the discrete nature of the electronic levels in a gas is the high monochromaticity of the laser lines in this type of laser, compared to that of solid-medium based lasers. The high degree of coherence achievable with gas lasers is also a characteristic feature related to the narrow linewidth.

Further, the electron level of adsorbed particles differs from that of isolated adsorbate i>articles in vacuum as shown in Fig. 5-5, this electron level of the adsorbate particle shifts in the course of adsorption by a magnitude equivalent to the adsorption energy of the particles [Gomer-Swanson, 1963]. In the illustration of Fig. 5-5, the electron level of adsorbate particles is reduced in accordance with the potential energy curve of adsorption towards its lowest level at the plane of adsorption where the level width is broadened. In the case in which the allowed electron energy level of adsorbed particles, such as elumo and ehcmio, approaches the Fermi level, ep, of the adsorbent metal, an electron transfer occurs between...
