Interaction inhomogeneous

Besides the nuclear attraction, fextix) could also include additional external fields, if present. j/(x) denotes the fermion field operator of the interacting, inhomogeneous system characterized by if, p x ) is the corresponding fermion four current operator. 

Another type of constraint on theories of time-dependent phenomena in interacting inhomogeneous systems is obtained by taking expectation values of... 

Although still used the Langmuir equation is only of limited value since in practice surfaces are energetic inhomogeneous and interactions between adsorbed species often occur. 

If dye molecules are embedded into an amorphous matrix, preferably transparent polymers, greatly and inbornogenously broadened spectral lines are observed. This broadening is caused by the energetic interaction of the dye molecules with the locally different environment in the polymer matrix. The ratio of the homogenous initial line width of the dye molecule T to the inhomogenous line width of the dye in the polymer T ranges from 1 10 to 1 10 . ... 

Chemical Inhomogenities or Compositional Separation. Compositional separation at the grain boundaries influences the magnetic interactions of the individual grains. Deposition parameters such as temperature, substrate material, and the use of a seed layer play an important role. 

For condensed species, additional broadening mechanisms from local field inhomogeneities come into play. Short-range intermolecular interactions, including solute-solvent effects in solutions, and matrix, lattice, and phonon effects in soHds, can broaden molecular transitions significantly. 

Recently, the HAB approach plus the MV closure has been applied both to hard spheres near a single hard wall [24,25] and in a slit formed by two hard walls. Some results [99] for the latter system are compared with simulation results in Fig. 7. The results obtained from the HAB equation with the HNC and PY closures are not very satisfactory. However, if the MV closure is used, the results are quite good. There have been a few apphcations of the HAB equation to inhomogeneous fluids with attractive interactions. The results have not been very good. The fault hes with the closure used and not Eq. (78). A better closure is needed. Perhaps the DHH closure [27,28] would yield good results, but it has never been tried. 

Now, we would like to investigate adsorption of another fluid of species / in the pore filled by the matrix. The fluid/ outside the pore has the chemical potential at equilibrium the adsorbed fluid / reaches the density distribution pf z). The pair distribution of / particles is characterized by the inhomogeneous correlation function /z (l,2). The matrix and fluid species are denoted by 0 and 1. We assume the simplest form of the interactions between particles and between particles and pore walls, choosing both species as hard spheres of unit diameter... 

Recently, many experiments have been performed on the structure and dynamics of liquids in porous glasses [175-190]. These studies are difficult to interpret because of the inhomogeneity of the sample. Simulations of water in a cylindrical cavity inside a block of hydrophilic Vycor glass have recently been performed [24,191,192] to facilitate the analysis of experimental results. Water molecules interact with Vycor atoms, using an empirical potential model which consists of (12-6) Lennard-Jones and Coulomb interactions. All atoms in the Vycor block are immobile. For details see Ref. 191. We have simulated samples at room temperature, which are filled with water to between 19 and 96 percent of the maximum possible amount. Because of the hydrophilicity of the glass, water molecules cover the surface already in nearly empty pores no molecules are found in the pore center in this case, although the density distribution is rather wide. When the amount of water increases, the center of the pore fills. Only in the case of 96 percent filling, a continuous aqueous phase without a cavity in the center of the pore is observed. 

Ab-initio studies of surface segregation in alloys are based on the Ising-type Hamiltonian, whose parameters are the effective cluster interactions (ECI). The ECIs for alloy surfaces can be determined by various methods, e.g., by the Connolly-Williams inversion scheme , or by the generalized perturbation method (GPM) . The GPM relies on the force theorem , according to which only the band term is mapped onto the Ising Hamiltonian in the bulk case. The case of macroscopically inhomogeneous systems, like disordered surfaces is more complex. The ECIs can be determined on two levels of sophistication ...

Similar considerations lead to the transformation properties of the one-photon states and of the photon in -operators which create photons of definite momentum and helicity. We shall, however, omit them here. Suffice it to remark that the above transformation properties imply that the interaction hamiltonian density Jf mAz) = transforms like a scalar under restricted inhomogeneous Lorentz transformation...
