Energy stales

IlyperChcm semi-empirical methods usually let you request a calculation on the lowest energy stale of a given multiplicity or the next lowest state of a given spin m ultipliriiy. Sin ce m osl m olecu les with an even num her of electron s are closed-shell singlets without... 

Request either the lowest energy state of the specified m ii Iti-plieity or the n exi lowest energy stale for sem i-em pirical calculation s.

The lower density ol aggregate states in the sub-monolayer architecture decreases the energy transfer efficiency to low energy stales and the fluorescence acquires dominant excitonie character (sec Section 6.6.2.2J.

In the Boltzmann distribution, Ihe population of higher energy stales wilt be related to the value of Ihe expression e ah where t is the base of natural logarithms, is Ihe energy of the higher stale, k is Boltzmann s constant, and T is Ihe absolute temperature. 

Hund s rules Empirical rules in atomic spectra that determine the lowest energy level for a configuration of two equivalent electrons (i.e. electrons with the same n and I quantum numbers), in a many-electron atom. (1) The lowest energy state has the maximum multiplicity consistent with the Pauli exclusion principle. (2) The lowest energy stale has the maximum total electron orbital angular momentum quantum number, consistent with rule (1). These rules were put forward by the German physicist Friedrich Hund (1896-1997) in 1925.
