12-oscillator model

In order to illustrate some of the basic aspects of the nonlinear optical response of materials, we first discuss the anliannonic oscillator model. This treatment may be viewed as the extension of the classical Lorentz model of the response of an atom or molecule to include nonlinear effects. In such models, the medium is treated as a collection of electrons bound about ion cores. Under the influence of the electric field associated with an optical wave, the ion cores move in the direction of the applied field, while the electrons are displaced in the opposite direction. These motions induce an oscillating dipole moment, which then couples back to the radiation fields. Since the ions are significantly more massive than the electrons, their motion is of secondary importance for optical frequencies and is neglected. 

While the Lorentz model only allows for a restoring force that is linear in the displacement of an electron from its equilibrium position, the anliannonic oscillator model includes the more general case of a force that varies in a nonlinear fashion with displacement. This is relevant when tire displacement of the electron becomes significant under strong drivmg fields, the regime of nonlinear optics. Treating this problem in one dimension, we may write an appropriate classical equation of motion for the displacement, v, of the electron from equilibrium as...

The Morse oscillator model is often used to go beyond the harmonic oscillator approximation. In this model, the potential Ej(R) is expressed in terms of the bond dissociation energy Dg and a parameter a related to the second derivative k of Ej(R) at Rg k = ( d2Ej/dR2) = 2a2Dg as follows ... 

CHEOPS is based on the method of atomic constants, which uses atom contributions and an anharmonic oscillator model. Unlike other similar programs, this allows the prediction of polymer network and copolymer properties. A list of 39 properties could be computed. These include permeability, solubility, thermodynamic, microscopic, physical and optical properties. It also predicts the temperature dependence of some of the properties. The program supports common organic functionality as well as halides. As, B, P, Pb, S, Si, and Sn. Files can be saved with individual structures or a database of structures.

Since the idea that all matters are composed of atoms and molecules is widely accepted, it has been a long intention to understand friction in terms of atomic or molecular interactions. One of the models proposed by Tomlinson in 1929 [12], known as the independent oscillator model, is shown in Fig. 13, in which a spring-oscillator system translates over a corrugating potential. Each oscillator, standing for a surface atom, is connected to the solid substrate via a spring of stiffness k, and the amplitude of the potential corrugation is. ... 

Instead of the quantity given by Eq. (15), the quantity given by Eq. (10) was treated as the activation energy of the process in the earlier papers on the quantum mechanical theory of electron transfer reactions. This difference between the results of the quantum mechanical theory of radiationless transitions and those obtained by the methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics has also been noted in Ref. 9. The results of the quantum mechanical theory were obtained in the harmonic oscillator model, and Eqs. (9) and (10) are valid only if the vibrations of the oscillators are classical and their frequencies are unchanged in the course of the electron transition (i.e., (o k = w[). It might seem that, in this case, the energy of the transition and the free energy of the transition are equal to each other. However, we have to remember that for the solvent, the oscillators are the effective ones and the parameters of the system Hamiltonian related to the dielectric properties of the medium depend on the temperature. Therefore, the problem of the relationship between the results obtained by the two methods mentioned above deserves to be discussed. 

KSAYMRFamide (AF8) has been found to have nerve cord-dependent excitatory effects on ventral and inhibitory effects on dorsal muscle strips of A. suum (Maule et al, 1995b). To date, this is the only peptide found to display differential activity on body-wall muscle of Ascaris. The segmental oscillator model of locomotion proposed for A. suum relies on reciprocal inhibition of opposing effects on dorsal and ventral muscle fields which, with the appropriate time intervals, result in the recognized nematode locomotory wave form (Stretton et al., 1985 Davis and Stretton, 1996). It seems reasonable to hypothesize that AF8 could be involved in the... 

Because we are concerned only with the analysis of the absorption spectra of P band and B band, we consider the excitonic interactions among P, BL, and BM shown in Fig. 8. Here (oti, ot2,0C3,014) represent the diagonal matrix elements, while (p, (314, P23, P34) represent the off-diagonal matrix elements [67]. As shown in Introduction, a main feature of the P band is that its absorption maximum shows a pronounced temperature shift [42,52], According to the displaced oscillator model, the absorption maximum is independent of T. Although the distortion effect of potential surfaces will introduce some temperature shift, the effect cannot be as large as that shown in Fig. 2. 

For the displaced oscillator model, Eq. (3.76) takes the following form ... 

The aromaticity of 1,2,4-triazoles has been investigated and quantified using the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity (HOMA) index, where a value of 1 is assigned to a molecule that is fully aromatic, 0 for a nonaromatic molecule, and a negative value for a molecule that is antiaromatic the data obtained were compared to other small-molecule heteroaromatics. It was determined that different tautomers of substituted and unsubstitued 1,2,4-triazoles have individual HOMA indices <2000JST(524)151>. 

Studies on the statistical deviation from an ideal bond order support the relatively high aromaticity of 1,2,5-thiadiazole (Table 7). The harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity (HOMA) value for 1,2,5-thiadiazole has not yet been reported.
