Equation resonance

Nevertheless, acknowledging or denying the existence of differences between resonance theory and classical structural theory was dependent on their different assessments of the role of alternative methods to study molecular structure. Wheland equated resonance theory to the valence bond method and viewed them as alternatives to the molecular orbital method. Pauling conceded that the valence bond method could be compared with the molecular orbital method, but not with... 

The equation does not hold without exceptions even for meta and para substituents, especially when resonance interactions from substituents are possible. 

Equation (A1.6.64) describes the relaxation to equilibrium of a two-level system in tenns of a vector equation. It is the analogue of tire Bloch equation, originally developed for magnetic resonance, in the optical regime and hence is called the optical Bloch equation. 

We will explore the effect of three parameters 2 -and < )> that is, the time delay between the pulses, the tuning or detuning of the carrier frequency from resonance with an excited-state vibrational transition and the relative phase of the two pulses. We follow closely the development of [22]. Using equation (Al.6.73). 

In words, equation (Al.6.89) is saying that the second-order wavefunction is obtained by propagating the initial wavefunction on the ground-state surface until time t", at which time it is excited up to the excited state, upon which it evolves until it is returned to the ground state at time t, where it propagates until time t. NRT stands for non-resonant tenn it is obtained by and cOj -f-> -cOg, and its physical interpretation is... 

Equation (A 1.6.94) is called the KHD expression for the polarizability, a. Inspection of the denominators indicates that the first temi is the resonant temi and the second temi is tire non-resonant temi. Note the product of Franck-Condon factors in the numerator one corresponding to the amplitude for excitation and the other to the amplitude for emission. The KHD fonnula is sometimes called the siim-over-states fonnula, since fonnally it requires a sum over all intennediate states j, each intennediate state participating according to how far it is from resonance and the size of the matrix elements that coimect it to the states i. and The KHD fonnula is fiilly equivalent to the time domain fonnula, equation (Al.6.92). and can be derived from the latter in a straightforward way. However, the time domain fonnula can be much more convenient, particularly as one detunes from resonance, since one can exploit the fact that the effective dynamic becomes shorter and shorter as the detuning is increased. 

Solving the time-dependent Sclirodinger equation for resonance states [78] one obtains a set of complex eigenvalues, which may be written in the fonn... 

With this convention, we can now classify energy transfer processes either as resonant, if IA defined in equation (A3.13.81 is small, or non-resonant, if it is large. Quite generally the rate of resonant processes can approach or even exceed the Leimard-Jones collision frequency (the latter is possible if other long-range potentials are actually applicable, such as by pennanent dipole-dipole interaction). 

Another near resonant process is important in the hydrogen fluoride laser, equation (A3.13.37), where vibrational to vibrational energy transfer is of interest ... 

Wlien resonances, or near resonances, are present in the 4WM process, the ordering of the field actions in the perturbative treatment (equation (Bl.3.1)), can be highly significant. Though the tliree-colour generators... 

In fact, each linear polarizability itself consists of a sum of two temis, one potentially resonant and the other anti-resonant, corresponding to die two doorway events, and D, and the window events, and described above. The hyperpolarizability chosen in equation (B1.3.12) happens to belong to the generator. As noted, such tliree-coloiir generators caimot produce Class I spectroscopies (fiill quadrature with tliree colours is not possible). Only the two-colour generators are able to create the Class I Raman spectroscopies and, in any case, only two colours are nomially used for the Class II Raman spectroscopies as well.

The classical description of magnetic resonance suffices for understanding the most important concepts of magnetic resonance imaging. The description is based upon the Bloch equation, which, in the absence of relaxation, may be written as... 

Application of an oscillating magnetic field at the resonance frequency induces transitions in both directions between the two levels of the spin system. The rate of the induced transitions depends on the MW power which is proportional to the square of oi = (the amplitude of the oscillating magnetic field) (see equation (bl.15.7)) and also depends on the number of spins in each level. Since the probabilities of upward ( P) a)) and downward ( a) p)) transitions are equal, resonance absorption can only be detected when there is a population difference between the two spin levels. This is the case at thennal equilibrium where there is a slight excess of spins in the energetically lower p)-state. The relative population of the two-level system in thennal equilibrium is given by the Boltzmaim distribution... 

The negative sign in equation (b 1.15.26) implies that, unlike the case for electron spins, states with larger magnetic quantum number have smaller energy for g O. In contrast to the g-value in EPR experiments, g is an inlierent property of the nucleus. NMR resonances are not easily detected in paramagnetic systems because of sensitivity problems and increased linewidths caused by the presence of unpaired electron spins.
