Now we refer to the analysis of a functional relationship between the times of orientational and rotational (angular momentum) relaxation that are rg/ and tj, respectively. To lowest order in Jf/, this relationship is given by the Hubbard relation (2.28). It is universal in the sense that it does not depend on the mechanisms of rotational relaxation. However, this relation does not hold when rg/ is calculated to higher order in Jf/. Corrections to the Hubbard relation are expressed in terms of higher correlation moments of co,(t) whose dependence on tj is specific for different mechanisms. Let us demonstrate this, taking the impact theory as an example. In principle it distinguishes correlated behaviour of the... 

It is seen that the result obtained is sensitive to both the molecular symmetry and the strength of collision y, which is a quantitative measure of the degree of correlation. However, the latter affects only correction to the Hubbard relation which appears in the second order in (t))2 linear dependence of product on (L/)2 for any y, but the slope of the lines differs by a factor of two, being minimal for y=l and maximal for y=0. In principle, it is possible to calculate corrections of the higher orders in (t))2 and introduce them into (2.91). In practice, however, this does not extend the application range of the results due to a poor convergence of the perturbation theory series. 

An alternative stream came from the valence bond (VB) theory. Ovchinnikov judged the ground-state spin for the alternant diradicals by half the difference between the number of starred and unstarred ir-sites, i.e., S = (n -n)l2 [72]. It is the simplest way to predict the spin preference of ground states just on the basis of the molecular graph theory, and in many cases its results are parallel to those obtained from the NBMO analysis and from the sophisticated MO or DFT (density functional theory) calculations. However, this simple VB rule cannot be applied to the non-alternate diradicals. The exact solutions of semi-empirical VB, Hubbard, and PPP models shed light on the nature of spin correlation [37, 73-77]. 

First we consider the origin of band gaps and characters of the valence and conduction electron states in 3d transition-metal compounds [104]. Band structure calculations using effective one-particle potentials predict often either metallic behavior or gaps which are much too small. This is due to the fact that the electron-electron interactions are underestimated. In the Mott-Hubbard theory excited states which are essentially MMCT states are taken into account dfd -y The subscripts i and] label the transition-metal sites. These...

The obtained A 7 a() value and the energy equivalent of the calorimeter, e, are then used to calculate the energy change associated with the isothermal bomb process, AE/mp. Conversion of AE/ibp to the standard state, and subtraction from A f/jgp of the thermal corrections due to secondary reactions, finally yield Ac f/°(298.15 K). The energy equivalent of the calorimeter, e, is obtained by electrical calibration or, most commonly, by combustion of benzoic acid in oxygen [110,111,113]. The reduction of fluorine bomb calorimetric data to the standard state was discussed by Hubbard and co-workers [110,111].

The spin distribution in the lower homologue [15 w = 2] was most elegantly studied by Takui et al. (1989) by means of a combination of ENDOR experiments and theoretical calculations within the framework of a generalized UHF Hubbard model (Teki et al., 1987a) and a Heisenberg model (Teki et al., 1987b). The spin distribution obtained is just as expected qualitatively in Fig. 7. 

Many electron systems such as molecules and quantum dots show the complex phenomena of electron correlation caused by Coulomb interactions. These phenomena can be described to some extent by the Hubbard model [76]. This is a simple model that captures the main physics of the problem and admits an exact solution in some special cases [77]. To calculate the entanglement for electrons described by this model, we will use Zanardi s measure, which is given in Fock space as the von Neumann entropy [78].

The curves 5 1 and 5 2 are the correlation entropies of the exact wavefunction as defined in the text. The dashed line is the 5 2 for the combined wavefunction based on the range of V values. S for the combined wavefunction is zero.

A somewhat different interpretation has been given by Johansson who applied the Mott-Hubbard theory of localized versus itinerant electron behaviour also to compounds. This interpretation differs from the above one mainly in that it assumes complete localization for magnetic compounds, and that at a certain critical inter-atomic distance we have to switch our description from a metallic state to an insulating one for the 5 f electrons (see Eq. (42)). In Eq. (42), an is substituted by a convenient measure of the spatial extension of the 5 f orbital, the expectation values (analogous to (of Fig. 10) and Xmoh is calculated from the R j radii of actinide metals (Fig. 3). The result is given in Table 6. 

The starting Hamiltonian H has been also used to make a link between ab-initio LMTO band structure calculation and a DMFT treatment of correlations for the studies of LaTiOs [9] and Plutonium [10]. This last approach, assuming infinite dimension, goes beyond our approach. We only expect to be able to describe the coherent part of the spectrum, whereas the incoherent part leading to lower and upper Hubbard subbands are not accessible in our model, however as already stressed, variationally based. 

In a recent work, Marx and collaborators presented a protocol to calculate the dynamics of the coupling constant KAB(t) on the basis of an improved Yamaguchi expression that incorporated spin projection in a Hubbard-corrected two-determinant approach to obtain more accurate KAB values (86,87). 

Anderson type (though affected of course by long-range interaction). Until recently it was supposed by the present author that the former is the case. We must now favour, however, the latter assumption for many-valley materials (e.g. Si and Ge), the Hubbard gap opening up only for a value of the concentration n below nc. The first piece of evidence comes from a calculation of Bhatt and Rice (1981), who found that for many-valley materials this must be so. The second comes from the observations of Hirsch and Holcomb (1987) that compensation in Si P leads to localization for a smaller value of nc than in its absence. As pointed out by Mott (1988), a Mott transition occurs when B = U (B is the bandwidth, U the Hubbard intra-atomic interaction), while an Anderson transition should be found when B 2 V, where V is some disorder parameter. Since U e2/jcuH, where aH is the hydrogen radius, and K e2/jca, and since at the transition a 4aH, if the transition were of Mott type then it should be the other way round.
