Overlap quantum numbers

The trend is consistent with our introduction to orbital overlap. Recall that bonding involves valence orbitals, and It Is the filled valence orbitals that determine the size of an atom. Because atomic size increases with the principal quantum number, bond lengths vary predictably with the -value of the valence orbitals. 

Because of the large number of rotational levels in the upper and lower states, the overlap between the exciting laser line and the dopp-ler broadened absorption profile may be nonzero simultaneously for several transitions (u", / ) (v, f) with different vibrational quantum numbers v and rotational numbers J. This means, in other words, that the energy conservation law allows several upper levels to be populated by absorption of laser photons from different lower levels. 

In the Koopmans theorem Umit the photoemission of one-electron from an atom or a core in a solid is given by a single Une, positioned at the eigenvalue of the electron in the initial state. The intensity of this line depends on the cross-section for the event, which is determined by the one-electron atomic wavefunctions Wi ( j m)(-Eb) and Pfln(nM, m )(Ekin) (where the atomic quantum numbers are indicated as well as the eigenvalues En,i,m = Eb and E dn of the initial and final state) (the overlap integral of (13)...

The dependence on formal oxidation state can be attributed to electrostatic lowering of the metal d orbitals thereby narrowing the gap with ligand orbitals. The effect of principal quantum number may be due to better overlap of the larger Ad and 5d orbitals with ligand orbitals, compared to the more compact 3d orbitals. Thus 0 increases in the... 

The gamma functions Ak(p) and Bj(pt) may be obtained by the use of recursion formulas an extensive tabulation is due to Flodmark (141). In the case of Slater orbitals of principal quantum number 4 or 6, application of Slater s rules leads to nonintegral powers of r in the radial wave function consequently, changing to spheroidal coordinates introduces A and B functions of nonintegral k values, that is, incomplete gamma functions. These functions can, however, be computed (56, 57) and the overlap... 

The vibrational overlap integrals play a key role in electron transfer. A region of vibrational overlap defines values of the normal coordinate where a finite probability exists for finding coordinates appropriate for both reactants and products. The greater the overlap, the greater the transition rate. The vibrational overlap integrals can be evaluated explicitly for harmonic oscillator wavefunctions. An example is shown in equation (26) for the overlap between an initial level with vibrational quantum number v = 0 to a level v = v where the frequency (and force constant) are taken to be the same before and after electron transfer.
