Planar orbits

Electrons cannot have planar orbits in atoms, because the position uncertainty out of the plane is then zero. This means that the uncertainty in the momentum would be infinite, which is only possible if the length of the momentum vector (and the kinetic energy, since K = p 2 /2m) are infinite.

Coincidentally, this has the the same form as the Newtonian azimuthal frequency. Other (usually smaller) frequencies associated with the orbit are the radial epicyclic frequency n (the frequency of a radial perturbation of Eq. (9) about the circular orbit just discussed), and the vertical frequency (of perturbations off the exactly circular planar orbit). The orbit must lie at r > in addition all circular orbits with rh < r < Srn are known to be unstable n —> 0 at r = 3/y, which is thus known as the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO). Periodic phenomena associated with circular motion must take place outside the ISCO. Thus Eq. (20) implies for the frequency of a periodic phenomena,... 

In the previous sections we studied the stability of a planar periodic orbit with respect to perturbations of the initial conditions in the plane. We shall study now the stability of a planar orbit with respect to perturbations of the initial conditions perpendicular to the plane of motion. 

An important feature is that the electronic states dominated by orbitals in the boron plane couple strongly to specific phonon modes, making pair formations favorable. This explains the high transition temperature. The analysis of the authors [28] suggests comparable or higher transition temperatures may result in layered materials based on boron, carbon, and nitrogen with partially filled planar orbitals. 

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle explains several interesting features of atoms. For instance, electrons cannot exist in planar orbits around the nucleus, as is so commonly depicted by the Bohr model of the atom. The reason for this is because in a planar orbit the uncertainty in position perpendicular to the plane is zero and therefore the momentum in that direction would become infinite. Likewise, the uncertainty principle can explain why the electron in a hydrogen atom does not collapse into the nucleus despite the fact that there is a strong electrostatic attraction in that direction. As the electron s orbit gets smaller, so does the uncertainty in its position. Therefore, the uncertainty in its momentum (and also in its kinetic energy) must necessarily increase.

The first detailed examination of ring dynamics was accomplished by James Clerk Maxwell in his 1857 Smith Prize essay, a study that still repays reading. He dealt with the question of the composition and stability of Saturn s rings, demonstrating that they must consist of a swarm of small particles trapped in planar orbits. The demonstration of differential rotation in the Saturn rings by the observation of Doppler shifts in a reflected solar spectrum was first performed by Keeler about 30 years later.
