Polarization density

The continuum electrostatic approximation is based on the assumption that the solvent polarization density of the solvent at a position r in space is linearly related to the total local electric field at that position. The Poisson equation for macroscopic continuum media... 

What is obviously needed is a generally accepted recipe for how atomic states should be dealt with in approximate density functional theory and, indeed, a few empirical rules have been established in the past. Most importantly, due to the many ways atomic energies can be obtained, one should always explicitly specify how the calculations were performed to ensure reproducibility. From a technical point of view (after considerable discussions in the past among physicists) there is now a general consensus that open-shell atomic calculations should employ spin polarized densities, i. e. densities where not necessarily... 

Here, fp is the field due to pp P is a polarization density, which is related to the electric field E produced by the remaining charge density p E = -47tP. Finally, a dot represents the dot product between functions, / fp(r) P(r)dr, where the integration is over all space. We also introduce ... 

The main effect of the permanent charges of the solute is to polarize the solvent. The induced charge density pind in the solvent is related to the solvent polarization density P(r) [83, 84]... 

The polarization density is a functional of the solute charge density T s(r)= < Fs f s(r) Fs>. The effective Hamiltonian Eq.(16) acquires a non-linear structure via the polarization density term, i.e. the effective Hamiltonian a functional dependence of the wave function ...

Water is particularly suitable for use in biphasic catalysis. It readily separates from organic solvents because of its polarity, density and because of the hydrophobic effect. Water will form biphasic systems with fluorous solvents, some ionic liquids, many volatile organic solvents, and also with scCC>2 [18],... 

Figure 8. Calculated spin polarization density map in a Co/Cr—O—Li plane in LiCri/gCoy/gOz from DFT calculations."pj-ie positions of the Cr, Co, Li, and O ions are indicated. Li(l) has a Cr ion as its second cation coordination shell, while Li(2) has a Cr + ion in its first cation coordination shell. The Li spectra of LiCr/ioi-/32 x= 0.05 and 0.1) are shown along with the assignments of resonances corresponding to Li(l) and Li(2) local environments.

Following from formula (4.54), the transfer of energy on excitation of molecules has a noticeable probability even in the case where the impact parameter is much greater than their size d. Since the intermolecular spacings in a condensed medium are of order of d, a charged particle interacts with many of its molecules. The polarization of these molecules weakens the field of the particle, which, in its turn, weakens the interaction of the particle with the molecules located far from the track. This results in that the actual ionization losses are smaller than the value we would get by simply summing the losses in collisions with individual molecules given by formula (5.1). This polarization (density) effect was first pointed out by Swann,205 while the principles of calculation of ionization losses in a dense medium were developed by Fermi.206... 

As noted earlier, however, numerous variables have been identified as significant in SFC, including temperature the type of stationary phase the polarity, density (or pressure), and modifier content of the mobile phase and the corresponding gradients of temperature, density (pressure), and composition. Moreover, from chemometric principles it is clear that any procedure which does not consider all the significant variables simultaneously will seldom, if ever, locate the true set of optimum conditions. This point is illustrated in the section below. ...
