Non-local effect

The localized many-body perturbation theory (LMBPT) applies localized HF orbitals which are unitary transforms of the canonical ones in the diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory. The method was elaborated on models of cyclic polyenes in the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) approximation. These systems are considered as not well localized so they are suitable to study the importance of non local effects. The description of LMBPT follows the main points as it was first published in 1984 (Kapuy etal, 1983). 

The partitioning of the pair-correlations, could thus be done according to a so-called law or order of neighborhood . This low is further applied in (Kapuy et al, 1990). respectively. The application of this law of neighborhood is useful for studying the transferable properties ofthe correlation energy contributions. The results clearly show, that the local and non-local effects can be separated. The contributions of distant (virtual) orbitals can be omitted to a rather good approximation. 

Summarizing this chapter, one can state that the transferability of the correlation energy contributions is a quite general property of several molecular systems. In the framework of LMBPT method, that property can be used to a/ come closer to chemical intuition, b/ demonstrate the importance of some local and/or non-local effects and c/ reduce some of the computational work. 

The magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of pyran-4-one was determined by microwave molecular Zeeman effect studies. Data for 2- and 4-pyranone are given in Table 12. Since pyran-4-one exhibits a negligible non-local effect it was suggested that this molecule is best regarded as being non-aromatic (73JA2766). 

On a phenomenological level the in-plane anisotropy of Hc2 cannot be explained within the (local) GL theory. In principle, non-local extension introduced by Hohenberg and Werthamer (1967) might be helpful to overcome this difficulty. In this approach, which is valid for weak anisotropies, in addition to the second rank mass tensor, a fourth rank tensor is introduced. The non-local effects were predicted to be observable in sufficiently clean materials where the transport... 

The non-local effects can result in an anisotropy of Hc2 microscopically due to the anisotropy of the pairing state (Shiraishi et al., 1999) or directly to the anisotropy in the shape of the Fermi surface (Metlushko et al., 1997). The anisotropy of the Fermi surface sheets (see Section 3.2) has been assumed to cause the mentioned basal anisotropy of Hc2 because the borocarbide superconductors are usually clean-limit type-II superconductors. In the clean limit for an anisotropic Fermi surface the non-local corrections to Hc2 are given by... 

Let us first consider those cases where the direct contribution vanishes due to symmetry reasons. As already discussed the net spin density at the center under consideration solely arises from the interaction between the singly and doubly occupied shells so that the indirect contributions represent an observable. The non-local nature of this interaction is obvious, since the density of the unpaired electron vanishes at the point where the effect of the interaction is measured, i.e. at the position of the center under consideration. The difficulties to describe non-local effects within the DFT are known [167] and explain the errors in the isotropic hfcc s computed with the DFT method. 

The quantum potential can now be identified as a surface effect that exists close to any interface, in this case the vacuum interface. The non-local effects associated with the quantum potential also acquire a physical basis in the form of the vacuum interface, now recognized as the agent responsible for mediating the holistic entanglement of the universe. The causal interpretation of Bohmian mechanics finds immediate support in the postulate of a vacuum interface. There is no difference between classical and quantum entities, apart from size. Logically therefore, the quantum limit depends on... 

Exploration of intramolecular non-local effects could be the beginning of more far-reaching studies. Neural receptors with the ability to exchange information via the quantum-potential field in the vacuum interface, could be another level of quantum object that might eventually explain para-psychic phenomena. 

The additional terms that need to account for the main non-local effects include the effects of the field gradient at the interface. Following Brevet [7] we can write... 

As was shown in numerous articles, [10-11] and we briefly repeat it here, the non-local effects are properly treated if and only if the matrix, x. that contains the NACTs is quantized. We will not elaborate on this issue now because it will be extensively discussed in the next section however, for the sake of completeness, we just say the following The ADT yields the diabatic PES matrix elements but there is no a-priori guarantee that tiiese potentials are singlevaliied. In fact if the non-local effects are not properly treated these potentials are most likely to become imdtivaliied. In the numerical part that relates to the NACTs of the H-tH2 system, we show that the ad-initio electronic eigenfunctions form quantized nonadiabatic coupling matrices (NACM). 

However, because of the pathologieal behaviour ofXa for some ( magnetic ) transition-metal systems (see below) and because the other potentials include correlation in a more explicit manner and are parameter-free (except for parameters needed to fit electron-gas results), there seems to be little reason to retain the Xa potential, except perhaps for the sake of compatibility with previous calculations. Since the VWN or the potential represents the local limit, it should be used as the standard of reference. If an LSD-VWN problem has been aceurately solved, any remaining errors may be attributed to non-local effects (Section II.B). 

Recently, Becke has derived theoretically the need to include part of the Hartree-Fock exact exchange (i.e. non-local effects) in the exchange functional to improve the predictions of the gradient-corrected DFT methods (16,17). Becke (17) proposed the functional... 

The mysterious behaviour of bio-macromolecules is one of the outstanding problems of molecular biology. The folding of proteins and the replication of DNA transcend all classical mechanisms. At this stage, non-local interaction within such holistic molecules appears as the only reasonable explanation of these phenomena. It is important to note that, whereas proteins are made up of many partially holistic amino-acid units, DNA consists of essentially two complementary strands. Nonlocal interaction in DNA is therefore seen as more prominent, than for proteins. Non-local effects in proteins are sufficient to ensure concerted response to the polarity and pH of suspension media, and hence to direct tertiary folding. The induced fit of substrates to catalytic enzymes could be promoted in the same way. Future analysis of enzyme catalysis, allosteric effects and protein folding should therefore be, more ambitiously, based on an understanding of molecular shape as a quantum potential response. The function of DNA depends even more critically on non-local effects. 

For simplieity, we have assumed in our discussion that the extension of the Josephson weak link along the y-direction does not exceed the Josephson penetration depth Aj. Further, we have ignored the non-local effects arising from the beam-induced change in the phase difference function (p(y). Discussions of the deviations from these simplifying assumptions are given elsewhere [5.6, 5.7, 5.20, 5.28]. 

Extension of the rear stagnant cap far from the front pole of a bubble exerts an effect on velocity distribution even in the neighbourhood of the front pole. This is a non-local effect.
