Neighbouring parameter

The generators of a Lie group are defined by considering elements infinitesimally close to the identity element. The operator T(a)x —t x takes variables of space from their initial values x to final values x as a function of the parameter a. The gradual shift of the space variables as the parameters vary continuously from their initial values a = 0 may be used to introduce the concept of infinitesimal transformation associated with an infinitesimal operator P. Since the transformation with parameter a takes x to x the neighbouring parameter value a + da will take the variables x to x + dx, since x is an analytical function of a. However, some parameter value da very close to zero (i.e. the identity) may also be found to take x to x + dx. Two alternative paths from x to x + dx therefore exist, symbolized by... 

For both alloys we used the same volume parameter D=0 (see Eq.45), SRO-parameter O-0.2 (see Eq.51) and nearest-neighbour parameter K 0.05 (see Eq.42). Furthermore, as a result of the addition of 1 electron per H-atom at Ep, we have assumed that... 

The parameter J.j is a measure of the energy of interaction between sites and j while h is an external potential or field common to the whole system. The tenn ll, 4s a generalized work temi (i.e. -pV, p N, VB M, etc), so is a kind of generalized enthalpy. If the interactions J are zero for all but nearest-neighbour sites, there is a single nonzero value for J, and then... 

When an ion beam is incident on an atomically flat surface at grazing angles, each surface atom is shadowed by its neighbouring atom such that only forwardscattering (FS) is possible these are large impact parameter (p) collisions. 

Equation (3.85) T is a translation vector that maps each position into an equivalent ition in a neighbouring cell, r is a general positional vector and k is the wavevector ich characterises the wavefunction. k has components k, and ky in two dimensions and quivalent to the parameter k in the one-dimensional system. For the two-dimensional lare lattice the Schrodinger equation can be expressed in terms of separate wavefunctions ng the X- and y-directions. This results in various combinations of the atomic Is orbitals, ne of which are shown in Figure 3.13. These combinations have different energies. The /est-energy solution corresponds to (k =0, ky = 0) and is a straightforward linear... 

The function/c is a smoothing function with the value 1 up to some distance Yy (typically chosen to include just the first neighbour shell) and then smoothly tapers to zero at the cutoff distance, by is the bond-order term, which incorporates an angular term dependent upon the bond angle 6yk- The Tersoff pofenfial is more broadly applicable than the Stillinger-Weber potential, but does contain more parameters. 

Wheland and Pauling (1959) tried to explain the inductive effect in terms of ar-electron theory by varying the ax and ySxY parameters for nearest-neighbour atoms, then for next-nearest-neighbour atoms and so on. But, as many authors have also pointed out, it is always easy to introduce yet more parameters into a simple model, obtain agreement with an experimental finding and then claim that the model represents some kind of absolute truth. 

Eqn(3) allows a direct determination of LRO-parameter from resistivity measurement by using the constant A as a fit parameter. Eqn(l) is of more complicated character, where besides the SRO-parameters in the different coordination spheres there enter details of the band structure (Y,) which influence sign and magnitude of resistivity variation with degree of SRO. However, restricting to nearest neighbours and using an adequate model for the dependence of a on temperature and concentration, reliable SRO-parameters have been deduced from resistivity measurement for several solid solutions. ... 

Additional isothermal treatments at neighbouring temperatures small step annealing) yield plateau values of resistivity corresponding to equilibrium values at certain temperatures which reflect the order parameter in thermal equilibrium as a function of temperature ( equilibrium curve , curve 4 in Figure 1). This study can be used for an analysis of the kinetics of order-order relaxations (see Figure 3 below). 

The theory described in the previous section is now applied to beryllium metal. Accurate low temperature data was taken from the paper of Larsen and Hansen [20]. (But note that in (20) I used the structure factors multiplied by 1000, as given in then-paper.) For the orthogonalisation, all nearest neighbours we included within the first shell. There were 12 atoms. A triple zeta basis set from Ref. [21] was used. There are 182 basis functions and 361 independent parameters in the wave function, whereas there are 58 experimental measurements. Figure 1 shows a plot of the x2 agreement statistic as a function of the parameter X for k = 0.2. Larger values of k caused... 

Attempts to interpret the corresponding build-up curves according to the Lipari-Szabo approach lead to inconsistent results (for instance, order parameters greater than unity). This indicates that these remote correlations are probably not of infra-molecular origin but would rather arise from znfer-molecular dipolar interactions which could become significant when some contacts exist between neighbouring aliphatic chains. This... 

These relations both demonstrate the inhibition of formation of the tetrahedral state which can be clearly attributed to steric crowding. Such a correlation as (5) confirms the attack at the neighbouring carbonyl group and this intramolecular catalysis for all this series. The activation parameters for the alkaline hydrolysis of these esters were also measured and are shown in Table 1. The enthalpies of activation of the 2-formyl, 2-acetyl, 2-propionyl, 2-isobutyryl and 2-pivaloyl esters are exceptionally small. These are... 

The reciprocal lattice model as derived above is the basis for many different variants. For simplicity we have assumed the interactions between the next nearest neighbours A+ -B+ andC- I) to be independent of composition, even though experiments have shown that this is often not the case. It is relatively simple to introduce parameters which allow the interaction energy, for example between A+ and B+, to depend on the concentration of C and D [14], One may also include other terms that take into account excess enthalpies that are asymmetric with regard to composition and the effects of temperature and pressure.
