Polarization energy calculation

Ion-water polarization energies calculated from classical electrostatics represent a large percent of the total pair interaction energy. If this contribution is added to Coulombic and short-range functions, the total energy differs substantially from the ab initio curve. We conclude that the effective ionic charges used in the Coulombic term implicitly include the effect of ion-water polarization. 

In addition, several KMC simulation models have been developed to study in more detail the diffusion processes in Li-ion batteries, since the distribution and kinetics of the Li-ion motion have direct consequences in terms of the battery performance and stability. These models include work on Li-ion hopping in polymer electrolytes, parameterized by polarization energy calculations, and a KMC study " of ambipolar Li-ion and electron-polaron (e ) diffusion in nanostructured Ti02 (which investigated the simultaneous diffusion of both LC and e in the electrode).

This quantity is found to be related to the local polarization energy and is complementary to the MEP at the same point in space, making it a potentially very useful descriptor. Reported studies on local ionization potentials have been based on HF ab-initio calculations. However, they could equally well use semi-empirical methods, especially because these are parameterized to give accurate Koopmans theorem ionization potentials.

Using this model in analogy with previous studies we can calculate a magnetic moment (fi) of the system with fixed Stoner exchange parameter Id and occupation of the d states. The total energy could then be calculated as the balance between the kinetic energy and the spin-polarization energy ... 

The vibrational relaxation of simple molecular ions M+ in the M+-M collision (where M = 02, N2, and CO) is studied using the method of distorted waves with the interaction potential constructed from the inverse power and the polarization energy. For M-M collisions the calculated values of the collision number required to de-excite a quantum of vibrational energy are consistently smaller than the observed data by a factor of 5 over a wide temperature range. For M+-M collisions, the vibrational relaxation times of M+ (r+) are estimated from 300° to 3000°K. In both N2 and CO, t + s are smaller than ts by 1-2 orders of magnitude whereas in O r + is smaller than t less than 1 order of magnitude except at low temperatures.

Kevan (1974) and Tachiya (1972) point out that CKJ use an SCF approximation to calculate the medium polarization energy, but in everything else they use the adiabatic approximation. This somewhat inconsistent procedure, which may be called the modified adiabatic approximation, gives results similar to those obtained by FFK. Varying the dipole moment and the polarizability in the semicontinuum models varies the result qualitatively in the same direction. It increases the electron-solvent attraction in the first shell and also increases the dipole-dipole repulsion. Both hv and I increase with the dipole moment, but not proportionately. 

These results are given for the DNA bases in Table 4. The calculated effects are quite substantial, with the predicted increases in dipole moments essentially parallelling the magnitudes of the polarization energies. Given (p solute solution molecular electrostatic potentials can also be obtained in solution, and used to derive atomic charges.85,86... 

The new features of this Table are (i) the values calculated by me (1, 2 and 3) (ii) the recognition that the values quoted apply only over a range of m which depends on the nature of the solvent (iii) the k+p for styrene and EVE in solvents of low polarity are very similar. In my view none of these values and others in the literature are sufficiently reliable for any activation energies calculated from them to afford useful information. I have refrained from attempting a correlation of the rate constants with the dielectric constant of the diluent because in my view even the same cation in each different solvent is a different species, so that the fundamental hypothesis of theories of the Laidler type is not valid.
