Pairwise additive interactions, hydrogen

Ternary spectral moments of collision-induced absorption in hydrogen gas are analyzed in the H2 fundamental band in terms of pairwise additive and irreducible contributions to the interaction-induced dipole moment, Eqs. (1 - 7) [51]. Numerical results show that irreducible dipole components, especially of the exchange quadrupole-induced ternary dipole component, are significant for agreement with spectroscopic measurements, such as ternary spectral moments (Fig. 1) [53], an observed diffuse triple transition 3<3i centered at 12,466 cm-1 [52, 54, 55], and the intercollisional dip in compressed hydrogen gas, pp. 188 -190. 

We may conclude that many-body forces are not important for the structure of solid hydrogen chloride (for further details see Sections 4.3 and 5). The energy of interaction in the dimer and in the solid fit very well into our relations. This is more a test of our assumptions of binary potentials in equations 8 and 18 than a limit on the role of many-body forces because the only available value was derived from cluster calculations based on the assumption of pairwise additivity. From the concepts and data discussed in this section it is obvious that an accurate description of clusters and condensed phases formed from polar molecules like HF and H20 which are both characteristic hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, requires a proper consideration of many-body forces. 

The dissociation of methane and hydrogenation of atomic carbon on the Ru(OOOl) surface are simulated via the Dynamic Monte Carlo method. First-principle quam-tum chemical calculations sure carried out to predict the binding energies and lateral interactions of adsorbed CHx species on the Ru(OOOl) surface. Subsequently, the DFT results are used to parametrise the interactions of these adsorbates on the surfaces. The lateral interactions are assumed to be pairwise additive. The DMC with lateral interaction is compared to a classical Mean Field description and DMC. without lateral interactions. The inclusion of lateral interactions induces a radical change to the behavior of the simulation with an increase of the rate of dissociation while the rate of hydrogenation decreases. 

A drawback with a Usgif-corrected water potential is that an imbalance exists in the enthalpy when a water molecule is allowed to interact with nonwater molecules. Unless the entire force field has been parameterized self-con-sistently, the calculated enthalpies may not correspond to any physical quantity. This is of course in addition to the general assumption of pairwise additivity, which can be thoroughly tested in aqueous solutions, especially in the presence of other strongly hydrogen-bonding solutes.
