Equilibrium atomization energies

Benchmark calculations of the equilibrium atomization energies (AEs) of the small molecules CH2, H2O, HF, N2, CO and F2 are presented in Table II. The CCSD(T) calculations are performed in systematically increasing correlation-...

To examine the solid as it approaches equilibrium (atom energies of 0.025 eV) requires molecular dynamic simulations. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations follow the spatial and temporal evolution of atoms in a cascade as the atoms regain thermal equilibrium in about 10 ps. By use of MD, one can follow the physical and chemical effects that influence the final cascade state. Molecular dynamics have been used to study a variety of cascade phenomena. These include defect evolution, recombination dynamics, liquid-like core effects, and final defect states. MD programs have also been used to model sputtering processes. 

By contrast, the nonrelativistic equilibrium atomization energy Dg calculated theoretically represents the difference between the nonrelativistic atomic ground-state term energy and... 

As discussed in Sections 15.6.5 and 15.6.6, the most important corrections that must be considered to obtain the experimental equilibrium atomization energies Dg from D ) are the zero-point vibrational correction to the molecular eneigy, the spin-orbit corrections to the atomic energies, and the relativistic mass-velocity and one-electron Darwin corrections to the atomic and noolecular energies ... 

Our final statistical sample for the atomization energy thus consists of the 16 molecules ticked in Table 15.1. These molecules should be well suited for testing the performance of the standard electronic-structure models for the four molecules omitted from the statistical analysis, the calculations presented here should serve as accurate predictions of the equilibrium atomization energies. 

For our statistical analysis, we have excluded all reactions involving HNC, N2H2 and H2O2, for which no experimental equilibrium atomization energies exist, and HOF, for which the experimental equilibrium atomization energy is probably in error. This leaves us with a set of 13 reactions (shown in bold in Table 15.29) on which our statistical analysis of the performance of the Hartree-Fock, MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T) models is based. 

In this exercise, we determine the nonrelativistic equilibrium atomization energy Dc of BH, correcting the experimental atomization energy Dq for the effects of vibrational motion and relativity. Useful conversion factors are lEh = 27.211606 eV = 219474.6 cm = 2625.5 kJ/mol. 

From the experimental atomization energy of Do = 3.42 eV and the vibrational and relativistic corrections, calculate the experimental equilibrium atomization energy De in Eh and kJ/mol units. 

Our intention is to give a brief survey of advanced theoretical methods used to detennine the electronic and geometric stmcture of solids and surfaces. The electronic stmcture encompasses the energies and wavefunctions (and other properties derived from them) of the electronic states in solids, while the geometric stmcture refers to the equilibrium atomic positions. Quantities that can be derived from the electronic stmcture calculations include the electronic (electron energies, charge densities), vibrational (phonon spectra), stmctiiral (lattice constants, equilibrium stmctiires), mechanical (bulk moduli, elastic constants) and optical (absorption, transmission) properties of crystals. We will also report on teclmiques used to study solid surfaces, with particular examples drawn from chemisorption on transition metal surfaces.
