Experiments on Energy

Such a view was confirmed by many detailed experiments in the first half of this century. These experiments included direct studies of the rate and products of the corrosion of a metal as a function of the electrolytic conduction of the moist film. They also involved an imaginative extrapolation from experiments on energy-producing electrochemical cells, in which, e.g., separate pieces of zinc and copper were immersed in an electrolytic solution, to a situation in which an actual piece of impure (copper-containing) zinc decayed when brought into contact with a film of moisture that contained dissolved electrolyte. 

Experiments on energy transfer based on the resonance approach were performed by a large number of researchers. A method for calculating the average probability and ef-...

In the experimental and theoretical study of energy transfer processes which involve some of the above mechanisms, one should distingiush processes in atoms and small molecules and in large polyatomic molecules. For small molecules a frill theoretical quantum treatment is possible and even computer program packages are available [, and ], with full state to state characterization. A good example are rotational energy transfer theory and experiments on Fie + CO [M] ... 

The lubricant properties of alkanethiols and fluorinated alkanes have been studied extensively by scanning probe techniques [163]. In agreement with experiments on LB monolayers it was found that the fluorocarbon monolayers show considerably higher friction than the corresponding hydrocarbon monolayers [164, 165 and 166] even though the fluorocarbons are known to have the lowest surface free energy of all organic materials. 

Having gained experience on the application of the Schrodinger equation to several of the more important model problems of chemistry, it is time to return to the issue of how the wavefunctions, operators, and energies relate to experimental reality.
