Nuclear spin relaxation is caused by fluctuating interactions involving nuclear spins. We write the corresponding Hamiltonians (which act as perturbations to the static or time-averaged Hamiltonian, detemiming the energy level structure) in tenns of a scalar contraction of spherical tensors ... 

STM found one of its earliest applications as a tool for probing the atomic-level structure of semiconductors. In 1983, the 7x7 reconstructed surface of Si(l 11) was observed for the first time [17] in real space all previous observations had been carried out using diffraction methods, the 7x7 structure having, in fact, only been hypothesized. By capitalizing on the spectroscopic capabilities of the technique it was also proven [18] that STM could be used to probe the electronic structure of this surface (figure B1.19.3). 

The basic scheme of this algorithm is similar to cell-to-cell mapping techniques [14] but differs substantially In one important aspect If applied to larger problems, a direct cell-to-cell approach quickly leads to tremendous computational effort. Only a proper exploitation of the multi-level structure of the subdivision algorithm (also for the eigenvalue problem) may allow for application to molecules of real chemical interest. But even this more sophisticated approach suffers from combinatorial explosion already for moderate size molecules. In a next stage of development [19] this restriction will be circumvented using certain hybrid Monte-Carlo methods.

Azulene does have an appreciable dipole moment (0.8 The essentially single-bond nature of the shared bond indicates, however, that the conjugation is principally around the periphery of the molecule. Several MO calculations have been applied to azulene. At the MNDO and STO-3G levels, structures with considerable bond alternation are found as the minimum-energy structures. Calculations which include electron correlation effects give a delocalized n system as the minimum-energy structure. ... 

According to 10 CFR 50,73, the holder of an operating license for a nuclear power plant (the licensee) must submit an LER for a reportable event, within 30 days after discovery. An event b reportable regardless of the plant mode, power level, structure, system, or component that initiated the event. In addition the licensee must report the completion of any nuclear plant shutdown required by the plant s Technical Specifications or any operation or condition prohibited by the plant s Technical Specifications, or any deviation from the plant s Technical Specifications. LERs are available on the Internet at http //www.nrc.gov/NRR/DAILY/97mmdddr.htm, where inrn is the... 

Vants represent the one of the simplest - and therefore, most persuasive - examples of emergence of high-level structures from low-level dynamics. Discovered by Langton [lang86], vants live on a two-dimensional Euclidean lattice and come in two flavors, red and bine. Each vant c an move in any of four directions (E,W,N,S). Each lattice site is either empty or contains one of two types of food, green food or yellow food. Vants arc fundamentally solitary creatures so that there is a strict conservation of the number of vants. 

The bonding in molecules containing more than two atoms can also be described in terms of molecular orbitals. We will not attempt to do this the energy level structure is considerably more complex than the one we considered. However, one point is worth mentioning. In polyatomic species, a pi molecular orbital can be spread over die entire molecule rather than being concentrated between two atoms. 

We will first consider possible assignments for the fluorescing states in laser-excited PuF6(g) based on available energy level structure and thermodynamic information. We will then consider some of the implications of the long-lived PuF6 fluorescence we have observed in terms of potential photochemical separation processes. 

Prediction of the energy level structure for Pu2+ (5f ) is of particular interest since no spectra for this valence state of Pu have been reported. On the basis of what is known of the spectra of Am2+ (26), Cf2" (27), and Es2+ (28), there appears to be evidence for a very small crystal-field splitting of the free-ion levels. Such evidence encourages use of a free-ion calculation in this particular case. The parameter values selected are indicated in Table V. Based on the systematics given by Brewer (19), the first f- d transition should occur near 11000 cm-, so the f- -f transitions at higher energies would be expected to be at least partially obscured. A... 

The electrostatic and spin-orbit parameters for Pu + which we have deduced are similar to those proposed by Conway some years ago (32). However, inclusion of the crystal-field interaction in the computation of the energy level structure, which was not done earlier, significantly modifies previous predictions. As an approximation, we have chosen to use the crystal-field parameters derived for CS2UCI6 (33), Table VII, which together with the free-ion parameters lead to the prediction of a distinct group of levels near 1100 cm-. Of course a weaker field would lead to crystal-field levels intermediate between 0 and 1000 cm-1. Similar model calculations have been indicated in Fig. 8 for Nplt+, Pu1 "1 and Amlt+ compared to the solution spectra of the ions. For Am t+ the reference is Am4" in 15 M NHhF solution (34). 

Recent observations of fluorescence in NpF6 and PuF6 (46) are consistent with the energy-level scheme proposed. However, comparison of the calculated level structure with high-resolution spectra of PuFg (44) confirms that much of the observed structure is vibronic in character, built on electronic transitions that are forbidden by the inversion symmetry at the Pu site.

CsPuF6 was prepared and verified to be isostructural with corresponding compounds of uranium and neptunium. Its decomposition was studied in an inert gas atmosphere and in vacuum. Its spectrum has been measured in the region 400-2000 nm. The energy level structure of Pu5+ in the trigonally distorted octahedral CsPuF6 site was computed from a predictive model and compared with the observed spectrum.

Finally, the binding of specific transcription factors to cognate DNA elements may result in disruption of nucleosomal structure. Many eukaryotic genes have multiple protein-binding DNA elements. The serial binding of transcription factors to these elements—in a combinatorial fashion—may either directly disrupt the structure of the nucleosome or prevent its re-formation or recruit, via protein-protein interactions, multiprotein coactivator complexes that have the ability to covalently modify or remodel nucleosomes. These reactions result in chromatin-level structural changes that in the end increase DNA accessibifity to other factors and the transcription machinery. 

Figure 21. A low-energy portion of the energy level structure of a tunneling center is shown. Here e < 0, which means that the reference, liquid, state structure is higher in energy than the alternative configuration available to this local region. A transition to the latter configuration may be accompanied by a distortion of the domain wall, as reflected by the band of higher energy states, denoted as ripplon states.
