Q coefficients

For low enough symmetries, both Bk and B q coefficients will be present in Equation 1.15, so that Equation 1.17 will be, in those cases, complex quantities. We finally note that the coefficients are transformed into CF parameters by multiplying them by the radial parts of the wave functions, represented by Rn/(r), on which the tensor operators do not act. 

Following the general procedure, we replace the K and Q coefficients with appropriate approximations. We denote by kR = k(u>R) the reference wavenumber corresponding to the chosen reference frequency wr, and take... 

Hamed s plot for a binary electrolyte solution at constant total ionic strength is presented in Figure 9. The utility of this plot can be seen from Equation 27. Because of the linearity of the data, the slope and intercept of each line determines the value of the Q coefficients at each total ionic strength.

By definition, the Q coefficient is equal to 1 for any pair of adjacent vertices (k = 1), regardless of the parameter values. Note that the coefficients Q are the elements of the so-called generalized molecular-graph matrix F, which is a square symmetric Ax A matrix, defined as... 

This is similar in spirit to the arithmetic-mean rule but with each individual r i being weighted according to the square of its value. The weU depth in this function starts with a formula proposed by Slater and Kirkwood for the Q coefficient of the dispersion series expansion ... 

The Q coefficients (and derived Cg) in the D3 method have been computed using a modified form of this relation, where the a(ia>) are computed nonempirically by TDDFT and A and B are reference molecules from which atomic values are derived [42]. Because the reference system can also be a molecular cluster modeling a solid environment, special coefficients for atoms in the bulk can be derived [68]. The final form for the DFT-D3 two-body part of the dispersion energy employs the so-called Becke-Johnson (BJ) damping [61, 69] and truncates the expansion at Cg...

Note that this Four-Parameter Fluid model is composed of a Kelvin element (subscripts 1) and a Maxwell element (subscripts 0). Thus, the constitutive laws (differential equations) for the Kelvin and Maxwell elements need to be used in conjunction with the kinematic and equilibrium constraints of the system to provide the governing differential equation. Again, treating the time derivatives as differential operators will allow the simplest derivation of Eq. 5.12. The derivation is left as an exercise for the reader as well as the determination of the relations between the pi and q, coefficients and the spring moduli and damper viscosities (see problem 5.1).
