Electrons mutual action

When the condition (RIV) = 1 is fulfilled, the refractive index/ dielectric constant goes to infinity, and we have a NM-M transition. The Herzfeld criterion when applied to metal-ammonia solutions does indeed predict (67,93) that localized, solvated electrons are set free by mutual action of neighboring electrons at metal concentrations above 4-5 MPM, and measurements (Fig. 20) similarly indicate a dielectric catastrophe in this concentration range. The simple Herzfeld picture has recently been applied by Edwards and Sienko (70) to explain the occurrence of metallic character in the Periodic Table. 

Experimentally the effect of temperature on electrical resistance may be established with comparative ease and accuracy. To some extent, also, this law has a universal character, being dependent on few parameters. Hence it seems particularly well suited to the testing of the theories, at least so far as the mutual action of electrons and the lattice of atomic ions is concerned. On this occasion, therefore, I shall chiefly confine myself to the problem of the effect of temperature on the electrical resistancewith some remarks about the thermal resistance. 

In the electron theory of metals no accurate allowance has hitherto been made for the effects of the conduction electrons on each other. Drude and Lorentz even went the length of assuming that to a first approximation the mutual action of the electrons and ions may be neglected, and accordingly spoke of a gas of free electrons. 

On the other hand, it still remained a mystery how it is that the mutual action of the electrons does not completely destroy the free mobility of the electron. For this mutual action is not, as might be expected, a feeble one, but is of the same order as that between the atoms and the electrons, and certainly cannot be completely explained by a screening effect. If in the total potential acting on an electron. 

It follows from the above that the mutual action of the electrons may not be regarded as a feeble disturbance, and we have therefore attempted to see whether the characteristic features of metals cannot be recovered from the other limiting case where the mutual action is on the contrary assumed to be very strong. 

Remembering that a metallic crystal is nothing but a very large molecule, we shall use the same methods of approximation for the investigation of the motion of the electrons as have hitherto been employed in the theory of molecular structure. We shall have to be prepared for the same difficulties about the convergence of the approximation process, which arise from the fact that the mutual action of the electrons and ions is of the same order of magnitude as that between the electrons themselves on the other hand, however, the particularly simple periodic structure of the crystal causes the method to be more effective than for polyatomic molecules, which are generally complicated. 

If we confine ourselves in the first instance to the case of one conduction electron per atom, the two main methods of approximation under consideration (in which it is assumed that the mutual action of the electrons is weak, or strong) as applied to molecular... 

We see at once that it is quite inadmissible to assume here that the mutual action of the electrons is feeble for it might happen that the two electrons belonged to the same atom, so that a strong repulsion would result. 

Some of the latest results have indicated the effects of dimension and molecular aggregates on linear and nonlinear optics, quantum confinement, exciton relaxation, coherent effects, and multibody mutual action. Furthemiore, electron transport with quantum effects in supramolecular nanostructured systems is of fundamental significance. 

Mechatronics as a discipline of engineering is built on the fact that, as a result of mutual actions of various technologies, new functions come into existence. Based on the integration of mechanics, IT, and electronics, it is necessary for information techniques, elements of control and regulation techniques, material engineering, and linking building techniques to be added to the mechatronics systems. 

The covalent bond, as mentioned earlier, is the most tenacious type of chemical bond since it involves the mutual sharing of orbital electrons. It is the type of bond that holds organic compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids together. Fortunately, for these important biochemical entities, it normally does not lend itself to easy reversibility. However, it is not the typical drug-receptor bond type. If it were the typical bond formed between drugs and their receptors, all pharmacological effects would have an inordinately long duration of action. 

In the preceding section we spoke of an electron gas , and pictured it to ourselves as a definite number n per cm. ) of electrons, moving freely, without mutual disturbance. Such a case is of course unrealizable, since in virtue of their electric charge the electrons will always act upon each other however, to a first approximation we can neglect this disturbing action, owing to the neutralizing effect of the positive ions. 

This chapter opens with a description of the packing of polymer molecules in crystals. X-ray diffi-action gives an extremely precise description of this, since the polymer lattice diffracts X-rays as does any other three-dimensional lattice. The shape and mutual arrangement of the minute crystals are then described. The crystals are separated one from another amorphous regions whose dimensions are comparable with those of the crystals. The information on these matters stems from electron and light microscopy, techniques which are less precise than X-ray diffiractiotL Crystalline synthetic polymers are invariably partly ciystalUne and partly amorphous the term crystalline polymer always implies partially crystalline. 

Apart from these attractive forces, there are always repulsive forces acting between the atoms, due to the mutual repulsion of their electrons and of their nuclei. They have a very short range of action so that they are only observed when the atoms approach each other very closely this is the resistance we feel, when compressing a solid.
