Left-handed

Equivalently, it follows if we apply R to both sides of (equation A1.4.58) and then use (equation A1.4.59) on the left hand side. 

By differentiating the defining equations for H, A and G and combining the results with equation (A2.T25) and equation (A2.T27) for dU and U (which are repeated here) one obtains general expressions for the differentials dH, dA, dG and others. One differentiates the defined quantities on the left-hand side of equation (A2.1.34), equation (A2.1.35), equation (A2.1.36), equation (A2.1.37), equation (A2.1.38) and equation (A2.1.39) and then substitutes die right-hand side of equation (A2.1.33) to obtain the appropriate differential. These are examples of Legendre transformations. ...

The fluctuation dissipation theorem relates the dissipative part of the response fiinction (x") to the correlation of fluctuations (A, for any system in themial equilibrium. The left-hand side describes the dissipative behaviour of a many-body system all or part of the work done by the external forces is irreversibly distributed mto the infinitely many degrees of freedom of the themial system. The correlation fiinction on the right-hand side describes the maimer m which a fluctuation arising spontaneously in a system in themial equilibrium, even in the absence of external forces, may dissipate in time. In the classical limit, the fluctuation dissipation theorem becomes / /., w) = w). 

One way to solve this is to invert the operator on the left hand side, thereby converting this differential equation into an integral equation. The general result is... 

To develop an additional equation, we simply make the ansatz that the first temi on the left-hand side of equation (3.11.215h) equals the first temi on the right-hand side and similarly with the second temi. This innnediately gives us Hamilton s equations...

The most widely employed optical method for the study of chemical reaction dynamics has been laser-induced fluorescence. This detection scheme is schematically illustrated in the left-hand side of figure B2.3.8. A tunable laser is scanned tlnough an electronic band system of the molecule, while the fluorescence emission is detected. This maps out an action spectrum that can be used to detemiine the relative concentrations of the various vibration-rotation levels of the molecule.

Figure B2.5.7 shows the absorption traces of the methyl radical absorption as a fiinction of tune. At the time resolution considered, the appearance of CFt is practically instantaneous. Subsequently, CFl disappears by recombination (equation B2.5.28). At temperatures below 1500 K, the equilibrium concentration of CFt is negligible compared witli (left-hand trace) the recombination is complete. At temperatures above 1500 K (right-hand trace) the equilibrium concentration of CFt is appreciable, and thus the teclmique allows the detennination of botli the equilibrium constant and the recombination rate [54, M]. This experiment resolved a famous controversy on the temperature dependence of the recombination rate of methyl radicals. Wliile standard RRKM theories [, ] predicted an increase of the high-pressure recombination rate coefficient /r (7) by a factor of 10-30 between 300 K and 1400 K, the statistical-adiabatic-chaunel model predicts a...
