Nearest neighbor distances

Make the following approximate calculations for the surface energy per square centimeter of solid krypton (nearest-neighbor distance 3.97 A), and compare your results with those of Table VII-1. (a) Make the calculations for (100), (110), and (111) planes, considering only nearest-neighbor interactions, (b) Make the calculation for (100) planes, considering all interactions within a radius defined by the sum... 

The size of an atom is defined in terms of the interatomic distances that are found in solids and in gaseous molecules containing that atom. For an atom on the left side of the periodic table, gaseous molecules are obtained only at very high temperatures. At normal temperatures, solids are found and there are two important types to consider, metallic solids and ionic solids. Table 21-11 shows the nearest neighbor distances in the...

This value of P explains also our Ce(III)-Eu(III) results. The radiative rate of Ce(III) is about 10 s E Since the emission is practically quenched by a Eu(III) neighbor, the MMCT rate will be about 10 s for r = 4 A, which is a realistic nearest neighbor distance. For P = 1.2 A and r = 12 A this rate has dropped to 10 s i.e. very small compared to the radiative rate. 

The method based on the orientation of pairs of vectors of length L produces slower dynamics than the method based on next-nearest neighbor distances. Since the acceptance rates for single-bead moves differ very little in the two methods, it appears that the probability for immediate reversal of a successful move is higher in the method based on the orientation of the pairs of vectors, such that the chain shivers rapidly, but moves its center of mass slowly. This problem is more severe in PP melts than in PE melts. Significant diffusion of the center of mass of the chains in PP melts is achieved when reptation, as well as single-bead moves, is allowed [158, 158A]. 

In ionic crystals with d = nearest neighbor distance, the ions repulse each other strongly when d becomes smaller than the equilibrium value d0. This can be described by an inverse power function, +l/dn, where n is a power of order, 9. As for the electrostatic attractions, these repulsions must be summed over the N molecules of the crystal structure, yielding another constant, D. The energy, < > per molecule (ion pair) is then ...

The underlying metal lattice structure also has a significant effect on the water structure. As pointed out by Spohr," although the Pt-Pt nearest-neighbor distance is ao/ Jl = 0.277 nm, which is very close to the 0-0 distance in ice, the cubic symmetry of the 100 surface is incompatible with the hexagonal symmetry of the ice lattice. As a result, the water molecules cannot form a uniform monolayer and occupy all adsorption sites. On the other hand, Berkowitz and co-workers showed that the hexagonal Pt (111) surface is able to support a more complete layer of adsorbed water molecules, and one can identify patches of an icelike structure in the first layer. This freezing is further enhanced by an external electric field, as will be discussed later.
