Hamiltonian microscopic

Although in principle the microscopic Hamiltonian contains the infonnation necessary to describe the phase separation kinetics, in practice the large number of degrees of freedom in the system makes it necessary to construct a reduced description. Generally, a subset of slowly varying macrovariables, such as the hydrodynamic modes, is a usefiil starting point. The equation of motion of the macrovariables can, in principle, be derived from the microscopic... 

The fact that detailed balance provides only half the number of constraints to fix the unknown coefficients in the transition probabilities is not really surprising considering that, if it would fix them all, then the static (lattice gas) Hamiltonian would dictate the kind of kinetics possible in the system. Again, this cannot be so because this Hamiltonian does not include the energy exchange dynamics between adsorbate and substrate. As a result, any functional relation between the A and D coefficients in (44) must be postulated ad hoc (or calculated from a microscopic Hamiltonian that accounts for couphng of the adsorbate to the lattice or electronic degrees of freedom of the substrate). Several scenarios have been discussed in the literature [57]. 

A major preoccupation of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is to justify the existence of the hydrodynamic modes from the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics. Boltzmann equation is based on approximations valid for dilute fluids such as the Stosszahlansatz. In the context of Boltzmann s theory, the concept of hydrodynamic modes has a limited validity because of this approximation. We may wonder if they can be justified directly from the microscopic dynamics without any approximation. If this were the case, this would be great progress... 

A major preoccupation in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is to derive hydrodynamics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics from the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics of the particles composing matter. The positions raYl= and momenta PaY i= of these particles obey Newton s equations or, equivalently, Hamilton s equations ... 

The singular character of the diffusive modes allows their exponential relaxation at the rate given by the dispersion relation of diffusion. Their explicit construction can be used to perform an ab initio derivation of entropy production directly from the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics [8, 9]. 

Further large-deviation dynamical relationships are the so-called flucmation theorems, which concern the probability than some observable such as the work performed on the system would take positive or negative values under the effect of the nonequilibrium fluctuations. Since the early work of the flucmation theorem in the context of thermostated systems [52-54], stochastic [55-59] as well as Hamiltonian [60] versions have been derived. A flucmation theorem has also been derived for nonequilibrium chemical reactions [62]. A closely related result is the nonequilibrium work theorem [61] which can also be derived from the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics. 

Understanding chemical reactions has been a major preoccupation since the historical origins of chemistry. A main difficulty is to reconcile the macroscopic description in which reactions are rate processes ruling the time evolution of populations of chemical species with the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics governing the motion of the translational, vibrational, and rotational degrees of freedom of the reacting molecules. 

In this section we derive the effective Hamiltonian which will be the starting point for our further treatment. The strategy of the calculation is therefore separated into two steps. In the first step the system is treated in a mean-field-(MF) type approximation applied to a microscopic Hamiltonian. This leaves us with a slowly varying complex order parameter field for which we derive an effective Hamiltonian. The second step involves the consideration of the fluctuations of this order parameter. 

In this chapter an effective Hamiltonian for a static cooperative Jahn-Teller effect is proposed. This Hamiltonian acts in the space of local active distortions only and possesses extrema points of the potential energy equivalent to those of the full microscopic Hamiltonian, defined in the space of all phonon and uniform strain coordinates. First we present the derivation of this effective Hamiltonian for a general case and then apply the theory to the investigation of the structure of Jahn-Teller hexagonal perovskites. 

The proposed approach to static cooperative Jahn-Teller effect is based on the exact effective Hamiltonian (7), acting in the reduced space of active one-centre distortions only. It involves effective force constants, which are analytically related to the parameters of the full microscopic Hamiltonian. Direct electronic interactions between sites, such as orbital-dependent electrostatic and exchange interactions [28], can be added to the effective Hamiltonian without modifying it. This approach proves to be especially efficient in the case of strong Jahn-Teller distortions, when the effects of second-order Jahn-Teller coupling become important. 

Since spin-orbit coupling is very important in heavy element compounds and the structure of the full microscopic Hamiltonians is rather complicated, several attempts have been made to develop approximate one-electron spin-orbit Hamiltonians. The application of an (effective) one-electron spin-orbit Hamiltonian has several computational advantages in spin-orbit Cl or perturbation calculations (1) all integrals may be kept in central memory, (2) there is no need for a summation over common indices in singly excited Slater determinants, and (3) matrix elements coupling doubly excited configurations do not occur. In many approximate schemes, even the tedious four-index transformation of two-electron integrals ceases to apply. The central question that comes up in this context deals with the accuracy of such an approximation, of course. 

First, due to some approaching we have obtained non-linear periodical wave functions of electron ion carbon nanotubes, which are presented soliton lattices. We consider soliton lattices of obtained type can be revealed by using the diffraction methods. The research based on these methods will make it possible to determine the parameters of the grids and connect them to the corresponding values in microscopic Hamiltonian. Besides these lattices can modulate sound fluctuations, that it is also necessary to take into account at the study of nanotubes by acoustic methods. 

In this paper, we will treat the nonlinear couplings, which are linear in the system coordinate but quadratic in the external heat bath coordinates, and show that the GHT is not equivalent to the multi-dimensional TST for the whole solution system if the potential function contains the nonlinear couplings. In Sec. II, we introduce the microscopic Hamiltonian (IIA), evaluate the GH rate expression (IIB), and, in Sec. IIC, we compare it with the multidimensional TST rate for the whole solution system. Finally, the main points are summarized in Sec. III. 

Our starting point is the microscopic Hamiltonian for the chemical reacting system in solution. After the transformation of the coordinates, it can be expressed within the third order approximation in the neighborhood of any equilibrium geometry as follows 3,14...

Note that in both of these cases we have succeeded in writing down surrogate Hamiltonians which serve in the stead of the full microscopic Hamiltonian. 

Our key point remains that of emphasizing the diversity of situations and functional forms that we have invoked in order to replace complex microscopic Hamiltonians with surrogates that either provide deeper insight or more computational tractabil-ity, or both.
