Observables Occupation numbers

The relationship between tlie lattice gas and the Ising model follows from the observation that the cell occupation number... 

We have carried out tins discussion in occupation number representation or coordinate representation each with a definite number N of particles. Similar results follow for the Fock space representation and the properties of grand ensembles. Averages over grand ensembles are also independent of time when the probabilities > are independent of time, whether the observable commutes with H or not.

In this way it was shown that the opt values derived from data for MCl, MFi, and MFg species gave excellent correlations with the occupation number, q, and that the n -<-75 (ys) peak positions could be well reproduced using Eqs. 5 (7) and 5 (2), with spin-orbit corrections. In all cases the correlations were significantly better when the relativistic terms were included than when they were omitted, and in Table 30 we list the xopt and oPt values derived from the 5 d data for MFg, MFg, and MF6 complexes. In the Table we also show the observed and the calculated band positions using the corrected forms of Eqs. 5 (7) and 5 (2). Once again the xopt vs. q plots yield slopes in excellent agreement with the ( —ri) values deduced from these equations. Finally, in Figs. 16... 

Let us consider a fluorescent probe and a quencher that are soluble only in the micellar pseudo-phase. If the quenching is static, fluorescence is observed only from micelles devoid of quenchers. Assuming a Poissonian distribution of the quencher molecules, the probability that a micelle contains no quencher is given by Eq. (4.22), so that the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the mean occupancy number < > is... 

The lowest energy state of end-on FeP-02 is open-shell singlet the closed-shell singlet with the same occupation numbers is 1.2 kcal mol-1 higher in energy (175). This is in agreement with the experimental observation that the 02 adduct is silent in EPR experiments (176). 

In terms of p the average value of an observable O can be written (in occupation number representation)... 

In the usual formalism of quantum mechanics, the first quantization formalism, observables are represented by operators and the wave functions are normal functions. In the method of second quantization, the wave functions are also expressed in terms of operators. The formalism starts with the introduction of an abstract vector space, the Fock space. The basis vectors of the Fock space are occupation number vectors, with each vector defined by a set of occupation numbers (0 or 1 for fermions). An occupation number vector represents a Slater determinant with each occupation number giving the occupation of given spin orbital. Creation and annihilation operators that respectively adds and removes electrons are then introduced. Representations of usual operators are expressed in terms of the very same operators. 

The occupation number vectors are basis vectors in an abstract linear vector space and specify thus only the occupation of the spin orbitals. The occupation number vectors contain no reference to the basis set. The reference to the basis set is built into the operators in the second quantization formalism. Observables are described by expectation values of operators and must be independent of the representation given to the operators and states. The matrix elements of a first quantization operator between two Slater determinants must therefore equal its counterpart of the second quantization formulation. For a given basis set the operators in the Fock space can thus be determined by requiring that the matrix elements between two occupation number vectors of the second quantization operator, must equal the matrix elements between the corresponding two Slater determinants of the corresponding first quantization operators. Operators that are considered in first quantization like the kinetic energy and the coulomb repulsion conserve the number of electrons. In the Fock space these operators must be represented as linear combinations of multipla of the ajaj... 

Experiments with Xe analogous to the previously described Xe experiment were carried out at both 90 K and 300 K. Specifically the time dependences of the populations in higher nd and ng states were measured subsequent to population of an nf state by a pulsed laser.19 The time dependences of the observed populations were fit to a model which yielded the radiative transfer rates from the initially excited state to the final states. Not surprisingly, as the temperature was reduced from 300 K to 90 K, not only was the overall radiative transfer reduced, but the transfer to the highest lying states was most sharply reduced, as expected from the dependence of the photon occupation number on frequency and temperature. For example the transfer from the Xe 25f to 26d,g states was reduced by a factor of 3 while the 25f-27d,g transfer was reduced by a factor closer to 5. 

By matching these occupation numbers to the observed periodic structure derived from Figure 4.4 the correct energy spectrum is indicated ... 

If the occupation numbers are symmetrical (000, 111, 222) then the VSEPR geometry will be observed.
