Diamagnetic Corrections to Matrix Elements of Transitions from Degenerate States... 

The probability also depends on matrix elements of transitions m n and s 1 ... 

Given the expressions for rotational energy levels, the subsequent step is defining the selection rules that tell us which are the rotational transitions that take place. The key point is the interaction between the molecular electric dipole components (fixed in the rotating body) and the electric components (fixed in space) of the radiation field. Without going into detail, from the nonvanishing matrix elements of transition dipole moment, the selection rules governing rotational transitions are derived to be [1, 2]... 

Matrix element of transit between an initial (i) and final (/) state Transit time Coefficient Bias voltage... 

The A matrix involves elements between singly excited states while B is given by matrix elements between doubly excited states and the reference. The P/Q elements are matrix elements of the operator between the reference and a singly excited state. If P = r this is a transition moment, and in the general case it is often denoted a property gradient , in analogy with the case where the operator is the Hamiltonian (eq. (3.67). 

For a polar molecule (/xo 0) the first term on the far right is nonzero only if the initial and final vibrational states are the same, viz. v = u. This case applies to the pure rotational spectra of gaseous molecules, as observed in the microwave region. The second term in Eq. (98) applies to vibrational transitions. The matrix elements of interest are (t> jc u), which are given by... 

Since the relative intensity of a transition is proportional to the square of the corresponding matrix element of Sx, we see that there are four allowed transitions ... 

The dipole oscillator strength is the dominant factor in dipole-allowed transitions, as in photoabsorption. Bethe (1930) showed that for charged-particle impact, the transition probability is proportional to the matrix elements of the operator exp(ik r), where ftk is the momentum transfer. Thus, in collision with fast charged particles where k r is small, the process is again controlled by dipole oscillator strength (see Sects. 2.3.4 and 4.5). 

Thus, all those quantum states of the interconversion complex (QIC) that are quasi degenerate with the APC would contribute to the population rate of the ASC. Note that there is no first order contributionsin the present theory since the matrix elements of the dipole transition between quantum states belonging to APC and ASC are zero. 

The General Transition Matrix Element of Arbitrarily High Order. 60... 

We will first consider transitions between two direct valleys, as in Figure 4.8(a). We suppose that all of the momentum-conserving transitions are allowed allowed direct transitions). This means that Pif differs from zero for any value of k. Assuming that Pif, which is related to the matrix elements of the initial and final electronic states, is independent of the frequency that connects these states (i.e., of k ), expression (4.27) can be rewritten as... 

The parameterized, analytical representations of fi, ., fiy, fifi determined in the fitting are in a form suitable for the calculation of the vibronic transition moments V fi V") (a—O, +1), that enter into the expression for the line strength in equation (21). These matrix elements are computed in a manner analogous to that employed for the matrix elements of the potential energy function in Ref. [1]. 

Although transformation of coefficients pj into coefficients qj is readily practicable, the resulting values for CO adopt unwieldy magnitudes. Chackerian and Tipping [141] fitted a function of the latter form from experimental and theoretical (computations of molecular electronic structure) information in judicious combination, according to which they calculated vibration-rotational matrix elements for transitions in bands 5-0 and 6-0 fitting the latter values with formula 84 yielded the values of quantities presented above. Rational functions, such as those in formulae 92 - 94 or others, transcend the spirit of Dunham s approach because their construction incorporates physical knowledge of a quantity that is superfluous for invocation of a mere truncated polynomial. 

In terms of transition matrix elements of the electric and magnetic dipole moment operators, the transition dipole moments are... 

First determine the matrix elements of r in the SCF orbital basis then determine the excitation energies and transition moments from the ground state to the two excited singlet... 

It is seen from (60)-(61) that there are two alternative ways to calculate the density variation i) through the transition density and matrix elements of Qfc-operator and ii) through the ground state density. The second way is the most simple. It becomes possible because, in atomic clusters, Vres has no T-odd Ffc-operators and thus the commutator of Qk with the full Hamiltonian is reduced to the commutator with the kinetic energy term only ... 

The case of responses is more involved in the sense that matrix elements of the second operator in the commutator are transition densities which are generally complex. However, the first operator in the commutator still has real (for T-even A) or image (for T-odd A) matrix elements and so the averages can be finally reduced to...
