Moment magnitude

The next section in this chapter provides a brief comparison of the dipole moment (magnitude and direction) for a set of simple alcohols. Experimental gas phase dipole moments45 are compared to ab initio and as molecular mechanics computed values. It is important to note that the direction of the vector dipole used by chemists is defined differently in classical physics. In the former definition, the vector points from the positive to the negative direction, while the latter has the orientation reversed. 

Figure 3.3 Hypothetical distribution of dipole moment magnitudes from a simulation of liquid water. The dashed curve is generated by connecting the tops of histogram bins whose height is dictated by the number of water molecules found to have dipole moments in the range spanned by the bin. Note that although the example is illustrated to be symmetric about a central value (which will thus necessarily be (/z)) this need not be the case...

But with further development of the theory it became obvious that the effect of this displacement is negligible and that the dipole moment magnitude depends on the atomic dipole moments of the atoms O and N. 

The behaviour pertinent to the opposite limit of the well localized f states is found in most rare-earth compounds. The 4f states are situated more than 5 eV below EF in most of them. The strength of the interaction of f and conduction-band electrons is considerable (= 0.1 eV), but contributes only indirectly to the magnetic coupling of f-moments via polarization of conduction electrons (RKKY), the 4f-moment magnitude remaining preserved. For f states closer to EF, as is the case of y-Ce or some Ce compounds (a situation comparable To some actinide compounds), the interactions between the f- and conduction-band states becomes stronger. The Kondo Hamiltonian can be written as... 

The p is independent of orientation of m and thus corresponds to a density p of polar molecules of moment magnitude m. This corresponds in turn to the continuum limit of a mixture of dipolar particles, all of which have the same intermolecular potential except for dipolar moment magnitudes. Thus in (2.25d) pp is replaced by... 

For dipolar molecules in which the quantity is appreciably greater than 3a, the whole problem concerning the sensitivity of the anomaly magnitude on the precise forms of a ij) and a ijk) is absent, since the anomaly magnitude will depend entirely on the dipole moment magnitude in the absence of polarizability. Let us take the special case of nonpolarizable dipolar spheres for simplicity. Then the virial theorem yields... 

Maximum Moment Magnitude, M Slip Rate, SR (mm/year)... 

Both maximum moment magnitude arrd slip rate conditions must be satisfied concurrently when determining the seismic source type. 

In order to examine the suitability of the predictive model class in Equation (6.75) and to propose the most suitable one, model class candidates are constructed. Here, predictive model classes are considered in a similar functional form of Equation (6.75) but to include different combinations of terms in different model classes. Eirst of all, the constant b is necessary to serve as a scaling factor of the PGA for any model class so all model classes contain b. As will be discussed later in Section 6.5.3.1 that only strong-motion records with moment magnitude M > 3.5 are utilized, Mq = 3.5 is taken in this study. Eor the site properties, the terms b Gs and bjGc are either included or excluded together in a model class. Therefore, there are 2 = 32 model class candidates, namely Ci, C2, , C32.
