Energy discrete

Rocky material has the unique physical mechanical nature that obviously shows characteristics of particle agglomeration under microscopic perspective of microscope, usually deemed to the kind of porous medium material between continuum medium and discontinuous medium. Failure mechanism of the material is urgently needed to be recognized along with extension of human engineering activities. In this situations, the methods, such as energy, discrete element simulation, acoustic emission, are applied to further study of failure mechanism. 

The BS algorithm [82] was published in 1973 and in the same year extended by Stein and Rabinovitch [83]. The latter algorithm is more flexible (e.g., in addition to harmonic oscillators it can be applied to anharmonic oscillators and hindered rotors as well) and more accurate (rounding errors in the energy discretization step are reduced), but it requires one additional array to store intermediate results. The algorithm may be described as follows ...

This energy region is that which corresponds to the electron energy states of the molecules, which are quantified and so can have only well-defined discrete values. 

Flowever, we have also seen that some of the properties of quantum spectra are mtrinsically non-classical, apart from the discreteness of qiiantnm states and energy levels implied by the very existence of quanta. An example is the splitting of the local mode doublets, which was ascribed to dynamical tiumelling, i.e. processes which classically are forbidden. We can ask if non-classical effects are ubiquitous in spectra and, if so, are there manifestations accessible to observation other than those we have encountered so far If there are such manifestations, it seems likely that they will constitute subtle peculiarities m spectral patterns, whose discennnent and interpretation will be an important challenge. 

The energy spectrum of the resonance states will be quasi-discrete it consists of a series of broadened levels with Lorentzian lineshapes whose full-width at half-maximum T is related to the lifetime by F = Fn. The resonances are said to be isolated if the widths of their levels are small compared with the distances (spacings) between them, that is... 

This solution can be obtained explicitly either by matrix diagonalization or by other techniques (see chapter A3.4 and [42, 43]). In many cases the discrete quantum level labels in equation (A3.13.24) can be replaced by a continuous energy variable and the populations by a population density p(E), with replacement of the sum by appropriate integrals [Hj. This approach can be made the starting point of usefiil analytical solutions for certain simple model systems [H, 19, 44, 45 and 46]. 

Figure Bl.6.11 Electron transmission spectrum of 1,3-cyclohexadiene presented as the derivative of transmitted electron current as a fiinction of the incident electron energy [17]. The prominent resonances correspond to electron capture into the two unoccupied, antibonding a -orbitals. The negative ion state is sufficiently long lived that discrete vibronic components can be resolved.

Figure C3.5.2. VER transitions involved in the decay of vibration Q by cubic and quartic anhannonic coupling (from [M])- Transitions involving discrete vibrations are represented by arrows. Transitions involving phonons (continuous energy states) are represented by wiggly arrows. In (a), the transition denoted (i) is the ladder down-conversion process, where D is annihilated and a lower-energy vibration cu and a phonon co are created.

For bound state systems, eigenfunctions of the nuclear Hamiltonian can be found by diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matiix in Eq. (11). These functions are the possible nuclear states of the system, that is, the vibrational states. If these states are used as a basis set, the wave function after excitation is a superposition of these vibrational states, with expansion coefficients given by the Frank-Condon overlaps. In this picture, the dynamics in Figure 4 can be described by the time evolution of these expansion coefficients, a simple phase factor. The periodic motion in coordinate space is thus related to a discrete spectrum in energy space. 

This section deals with the question of how to approximate the essential features of the flow for given energy E. Recall that the flow conserves energy, i.e., it maps the energy surface Pq E) = x e P H x) = E onto itself. In the language of statistical physics, we want to approximate the microcanonical ensemble. However, even for a symplectic discretization, the discrete flow / = (i/i ) does not conserve energy exactly, but only on... 

The invariant measure corresponding to Aj = 1 has already been shown in Fig. 6. Next, we discuss the information provided by the eigenmeasure U2 corresponding to A2. The box coverings in the two parts of Fig. 7 approximate two sets Bi and B2, where the discrete density of 1 2 is positive resp. negative. We observe, that for 7 > 4.5 in (15) the energy E = 4.5 of the system would not be sufficient to move from Bi to B2 or vice versa. That is, in this case Bi and B2 would be invariant sets. Thus, we are exactly in the situation illustrated in our Gedankenexperiment in Section 3.1. 

The heightened appreciation of resonance problems, in particular, has been quite recent [63, 62], and contrasts the more systematic error associated with numerical stability that grows systematically with the discretization size. Ironically, resonance artifacts are worse in the modern impulse multiple-timestep methods, formulated to be symplectic and reversible the earlier extrapolative variants were abandoned due to energy drifts.
