Most General Electromagnetic Property

For arbitrary electromagnetic properties defined by Eq. (15.25) the most general form of the expansion parameter is given by V(A) = V + AX - - X Xq, and features both even and odd components. Suitable choices of A and A activate (1) or deactivate (0) the electric and magnetic interactions, respectively. For the sake of brevity we will restrict this study to one common perturbation parameter A, so that the perturbed potential is then given by 

In the following, explicit expressions for the lowest-order terms of the decoupled Hamiltonian including most general electromagnetic property 

The initial transformation Uo is the familiar free-particle Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation [609] and therefore independent of the perturbation. Its application to (A) yields the perturbed free-particle Foldy-Wouthuysen Hamiltonian 

however, the first-order terms are modified and read 

Within the framework of the generalized DKH transformation the next unitary transformation Lfi(A) (see section 11.4 and the entire chapter 12) is given

The most general electromagnetic (4 x 4)-property X can always be written as a linear combination of an electric and a magnetic contribution. 

All of the material in this text and most of chemistry generally can be understood on the basis of what physicists call the electromagnetic force Its major principle is that opposite charges attract and like charges repel As you learn organic chemistry a good way to start to connect structure to properties such as chemical reactivity is to find the positive part of one molecule and the neg ative part of another Most of the time these will be the reactive sites... 

For electrochemistry, of course, the most important properties of the n, involve the electric field and potential in the system. In general, to find the electromagnetic field in a medium, one has to solve the basic equation... 

Both technological and atmospheric radiation are mostly associated with water vapor and carbon dioxide, which are significant emitters and absorbers. Other examples of gases of significant emission and absorption properties are carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen chloride. In general, radiation occurs over a number of discrete bands of the electromagnetic spectrum (recall Fig. 8.2). However,...
