Molecules field

Equation (A3.13.54) legitimates the use of this semi-classical approximation of the molecule-field interaction in the low-pressure regime. Since /7j(t) is explicitly time dependent, the time evolution operator is more... 

Chevrier et al., 1983), solvent effects (Bensaude et al., 1979), and the effect of added salt on the rate of reaction (Bensaude et al., 1978) have been studied to provide information about this process. Molecular-orbital calculations confirm that a suitable transition state for the reaction is one involving bridging water molecules (Field et al., 1984). 

Before considering molecular collisions in external fields, it is useful to make a few comments about the general features of molecule-field interactions. Some of... 

We assume that the molecule-field coupling is dominated by the dipole transition interaction and represents the resonant continuous electric field e(f) in the form... 

The nematic mean-field U, the molecule-field interaction potential, WE, and the induced dipole moment, ju d, are evaluated at different orientations using Equation (2.263), and then the coefficients of their expansion on a basis of Wigner rotation matrices can be calculated, according to Equation (2.268). The permittivity is obtained by a self-consistency procedure, because the energy WE and the induced dipole moment / md, as well as the reaction field contribution to the nematic distribution function p( l), themselves depend on the dielectric permittivity. 

As shown by Bliimel and co-workers [227], the Icicked Csl molecule is particularly appropriate candidate for this study since it has a large dipole moment, which increases the molecule-field coupling strength, and the rotation-vibration coupling is small at low excitation energies so that one may consider solely rotational excitation. We consider then the dynamics of Csl in the indicated pulsed field, in a parameter range known to display classical chaos [231].. ... 

The Hamiltonian is made up of 2 terms, the molecular (H oi) and the molecule-field interaction (H ). LuP is a damping term in the density matrix due to transitions caused by interaction with the vacuum state [45], but also includes non-radiative processes and vibrational damping. LphP represents damping due to phase... 

We will be using this form of the molecule-field interaction repeatedly in this text, however, it should be kept in mind that it is an approximation on several counts. Already Eq. (3.1), an electrostatic energy expression used with a time varying field, is an approximation. Even in this electrostatic limit, Eq. (3.1) is just the first term in an infinite multipole expansion in which the higher-order terms depend on higher spatial derivatives of the electric field. 

Before proceeding, let us consider the expected dependence on the intensity of the incident field. The scattering process is obviously not linear in the molecule-field interaction, however, it is intuitively expected that for weak incident radiation the scattering signal will be linear in the incident intensity. To see this note that as in the previous section we simplify the theory by considering the scattering process l,vi,ki> (lx) = 2, V2,0)) l,v,k), while in reality the process... 

McReynolds and Anbar [225] reported the analysis and assay of N-labeled metabolites in very small quantities, which was not possible with conventional methods. The data obtained also enabled to be localized within a molecule. Field ionization was chosen for this study, and led to mass spectra in which the protonated molecule was the base peak in the case of free amino acids, such as glycine, alanine, valine and leucine.

According to the classical picture suggested in Fig. 30, an increase of the field strength will accelerate the energy absorption and, eventually, prepare a clockwise rotation. That this is indeed the case is illustrated in Fig. 34. Due to the stronger molecule-field coupling (k = 10.5 x 10-5 a.u.), the continuum is reached earlier, leading to the desired directional motion. 

Here, square brackets indicate functional dependence, and V,[P ] is the molecule-field interaction operator linear in the electronic charge e for a given transverse polarization field P (essentially equation (3)). V,[0] corresponds to the usual p.A terms in the Coulomb gauge theory (Div A = 0). It is related directly to the discussion presented here since, for example, the cross-section for absorption of a photon with wavevector k and polarization direction e (a = x,y) that causes an atomic transition n m is obtained from the Coulomb gauge theory as proportional to.

In principle it should be possible to determine M and M , by mass spectrometry, since the technique directly provides the information needed— oligomer molecular weights (AQ and relative abundances (or number of molecules, Field desorption was the first mass spectral method to be used to directly determine molecular weight averages of synthetic polymers (1980). ... 

Because the dipole is aligned along the molecular axis, and because the molecular axis is tilted at an angle with respect to the field, and because the field defines the z-axis, the dipole moment is defined by its magnitude p, times a unit vector with polar coordinates (P, a). The Hamiltonian for the molecule-field interaction is given by... 

The perturbations exerted by external electromagnetic fields on molecular energy levels are often larger than the kinetic energy of molecules at temperatures below 1K. Collisions of molecules in a cold gas may therefore be significantly affected by the presence of external fields. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the effects of external fields on dynamics of molecular collisions at cold and ultracold temperatures and outline the prospects for new discoveries in the research of molecule-field interactions at low temperatures. The experimental work on collision dynamics of low-temperature molecules in external fields may lead to the development of the research field of cold controlled chemistry [4] and we will particularly focus the discussion on mechanisms for external field control of intermolecular interactions. Most of the results presented are based on rigorous quantum-mechanical calculations. The quantum theory of molecular collisions in the presence of external fields is described in Chapter 1. 

Here hnn represents the vibrational Hamiltonian of the ionic state and the index k labels the energy Ek of the continuum electrons. In addition, we generalize the molecule-field interaction to allow for radiative couplings between 4>o) and jTf) (for simplicity, it is assumed that Tf) is dark in absorption) and for radiative couplings between the excited states f),... 

Except for the charged end-groups of the amphiphilic molecules, field gradients may also be produced by the water dipoles. However, for a hydrated ion the effects of the different surrounding water molecules will largely cancel out and it is only the asymmetry in the hydration sheath that produces a net field gradient. This effect has been considered for sodium ions [327] but its relevance for the halide ions is difficult to judge at present.
