External configurations

Air resistance (or drag) is quantified by a dimensionless drag coefficient which is related to the external configuration of the rocket. Other factors that influence drag being the air density, the diameter of the rocket and the square of the rocket velocity. 

Besides these new parallel aspects, the OASIS4 PSMILe follows the same endpoint communication and user-defined external configuration principles than the OASIS3 PSMILe. 

Once again, the contraction has dramatically reduced the number of variational parameters. One difficulty with the internally contracted multireference Cl method is that the relevant coupling coefficients become considerably more difficult to calculate. Werner and Knowles101 alleviate this problem by leaving internal and singly-external configurations uncontracted, i.e.,... 

In the internal configuration subspace all reference configurations are explicitly included in order to allow a full relaxation of their coefficients. The remaining internal configurations can in principle be generated as in Eq. (121) by applying the operators to the reference wavefunction. However, in this case this procedure is less useful than for the doubly external configurations. This is most easily seen for the case that a CASSCF reference function is used. 

This relation is easily obtained by matching the external indices. For convenience, we use the short-hand notation 10 > = Tq >. The elements of the overlap matrix for the doubly external configurations are given by... 

The singly external configurations in Eqs (123) and (125) can be ortho-normalized in a similar way. Defining the N-electron functions... 

In the above formulae it has been assumed that the singly external configurations are not contracted. Similar formulae for the contracted configurations are obtained by replacing the bras and kets by functions like I P ) = 0>(cf. Eq.(I37)). The resulting coupling coefficients involve density matrices up to fifth order, and are more difficult to evaluate. Moreover, in contrast to the coefficients the matrix elements... 

T Ey,iul Pp> are in general not sparse. It is, therefore, unlikely that the contraction of the singly external configurations saves much time, even though there are more non-redundant states than Py. This is in line with our experience using this method with a moderate number of reference configurations. 

Next we consider excitations from the valence orbitals. Here we can distinguish the cases in which zero, one, or two electrons are excited from the closed-shell orbitals. It would be rather lengthy to discuss all possible matrix elements between the internal, singly external and doubly external configurations. Therefore, we restrict ourselves to some examples for the doubly external configurations. It is straightforward to derive all other matrix elements in a similar way. 

In the most straightforward procedure, one would employ as improved contraction coefficients the coefficients of the reference configurations in the total wavefunction. The vector of contraction coefficients should always be renormalized. However, this simple procedure does not necessarily yield the optimum contraction coefficients. For simplicity, in the following we assume that the reference wavefunction comprises all internal configurations T/, and we only consider the doubly external configurations. The wavefunction can then be written in the form... 

Photochemistry can also be carried out in a photoreactor of external configuration,158 This arrangement is very simple the solution is held outside the source of irradiation. One option is to use an immersion well as shown in Figure 3.9, but the sample is placed in a separate vessel nearby. The whole setup can be immersed in a thermostated water or methanol bath to control the temperature of the reaction mixture. An external...

Organophosphorus compounds used as insecticides contain the pentavalent phosphorus atom. In the fundamental state the phosphorus atom has a 3s 3p external configuration however, 3d orbitals also contribute to the formation of its compounds. Transition to the 3s 3p 3d state, corresponding to the trigonal bipyramide, requires a high activation energy of about 800 KJ/mole (Hudson,... 

A common feature of all CI/SO methods, is to couple only the wave functions taken as basis functions to represent the Hamiltonian. No other configurations than the one already present in the considered wave functions are coupled by spin-orbit interaction. This means that some external configurations, close in energy to the ones of interest, may have large spin-orbit interactions with the states of interest. Neglecting them leads obviously to an imcontrolled loss of... 

Where these diagnostics are not built in the vendor supplied equipment, externally configured diagnostics may be implemented at the system or application level in order to meet the SIL for the SIF.

With an external configuration identical to the calomel electrode, the mercurous sulfate electrode allows in certain environments to exclude any electrolyte contamination by chloride ions. 

Quasi-static process One that involves a slow passage through a large succession of very closely spaced equilibrium states. In this process, the surroundings and/or system are altered such that on the return path to the original external configuration, the universe ends up in a different state. 

Moreover, Y modifies (reduces) the size and shape of AI2O3-scale grains and external configuration, preventing the formation of poorly adherent convoluted scales. In this latter respect, rare earths act to reduce internal stress levels (see sect. 4.3.3).
