Occupation of levels

We will denote by n, the distribution of particles that consists of a particular set of values n, that determine the occupation of the levels e,. The number of states of the entire system corresponding to a particular distribution , will be denoted as W( n, ). This number is proportional to the volume in phase space occupied by this particular distribution ,. The most probable distribution must correspond to the largest volume in phase space. That is, if we denote the most probable distribution of particles in microscopic states by [f], then W( 7i ) is the maximum value of W. Let us suppose that the degeneracy or multiplicity of the microscopic state labeled i is g,, that is, there are g, individual microscopic states with the same energy ,. With these definitions, and with the restriction of constant N and E, we can now derive the average occupation of level i, which will be the same as /,-. There are three possibilities, which we examine separately.

Cerium is especially intereshng because of its variable electronic structure. The energy of the inner 4f level is nearly the same as that of the outer or valence electrons, and only small amounts of energy are required to change the relahve occupancy of these electronic levels. This gives rise to dual valency states. 

One of the possible mechanisms of the intensity decrease is related to the change in occupancy of the base and excited levels [374]. The magnitude of the contribution of the occupancy change in to the intensity variation was estimated in [373]. Table 57 presents experimental and calculated values of coefficient p. 

Expts have shown that if TEA is thickened with only 1% polyisobutylene (instead of the usual 6%) it is possible to produce a chemical fireball which radiates sufficient thermal energy to destroy or damage military targets. It is reported that such a weapon could cause third degree burns on occupants of bunkers within a few seconds, whether or not the agent hit individuals. Previously only nuclear weapons were able to produce damaging levels of thermal radiation (Ref 5)...

Li, Liu and Lu investigated the electronic structures and the possible aromaticity of some 10 r-electron systems, including the dication, at the HF/6-31G level [118]. The optimised S-S bond length of is 210 pm. Based on the analysis of the bonding characteristics in terms of the canonical molecular orbital and the Foster-Boys localized molecular orbital, they concluded that is of weak aromaticity. This is due to the occupation of the weak antibonding MOs. As a consequence, the bond strengths of the 10 r-electron systems decrease with respect to their 6 r-electron counterparts.

When the Dixie site is compared to the reference area, proximity to the smelter (within 0.5 mile) contributed 1.85 pg/dl to the mean blood-lead level. The potential contribution of traffic density could not be determined because of the configuration of the roadway and the distance of the roadway from the smelter site. Although an elevated mean blood-lead level was found for children living close to the Dixie site, the increase was not as great as observed in the RSR site and the few children found to have lead toxicity, as defined previously, appear to have lead exposure due to occupation of parents.
