Haken, Hermann

The model system HJ is the simplest for chemical bonding and for electron transfer. HJ consists of two protons a and b at a distance R, with one electron. (See e.g. Hermann Haken and Hans Christoph Wolf, Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry, 2nd ed.. Springer-Verlag (2004), Sect 4.3, page 58 ff.)...

For the study of non-equilibrium cooperative systems, some theoretical guiding principle would be highly desirable. In this connection, this book pushes forward a particular physical viewpoint based on the slaving principle. The discovery of this principle in non-equilibrium phase transitions, especially in lasers, was due to Hermann Haken. The great utility of this concept will again be demonstrated in this book for the fields of coupled nonlinear oscillators.
