These works established the existence of a novel variety of electron pair in DRAs. Extensions of traditional electron pair concepts are clearly needed for these anions. The electron localization function (ELF) 19 is an interesting and robust descriptor of chemical bonding, which has been successfully applied to a wide variety of molecular systems.20-24 This function, which is based on a topological analysis of a quantum function related to Pauli repulsion, describes the degree of localization (or delocalization) of electron pairs within the molecular space.

Two-dimensional arrangements might be monolayers of clusters on a suitable substrate or two or more coupled ID arrays. While layers are accessible via self-assembly, LB, or electrodeposition, coupled arrays could be obtained by filling clusters into the parallel channels of a crystalline nanoporous solid. 2D networks of clusters might be precursors for simple neural networks, utilizing the Coulombic interaction between ballistic electrons in a 2D electron gas. This concept has been discussed by Naruse and in general introduces new possibilities for the interconnection approach in various fields, e.g. parallel processing and quantum functional devices. 

Both quantum functional materials and molecular devices are considered to be the ultimate functional materials. The former shows a novel property which is specific to the structure and the latter represents the smallest possible functional material. Their properties are closely related to optical and photonic functions. The former shows a quantum size effect, a photoluminescence shift to higher energy which depends on layer thickness, which gives us an idea of a nonlinear optical system. Porphyrin arrays connected with molecular wires show a hole carrier photoconductivity or a photoswitching and a photo-information storage, which suggests an idea of a photoactive neuron model. In this paper, conjugated polymer superlattices and porphyrin arrays connected with molecular wires are described. 

In this Section, an approach to the descnption of kinetics of deformation, relaxation, and fracture of polymers over a wide temperature range will be elaborated on the basis of kmetic equations with constant activation parameters. A nonuniform distribution of the energy of atoms over the degrees of freedom requires the replacement of T by the F(6/T) quantum function. The resultant (modified) Arrhenius equation describes adequately both deformation and fracture of polymers in the range from 20 K to the melting temperature. 

To take into account the non-uniform energy distribution over the degrees of freedom, Eq. (1) should be modified. For this purpose, Gilman [87] and Salganik [88] have introduced the quantum function F(6/T) instead of T. Then Eq. (1) is rewritten as... 

Recently, much attention has been paid to the importance of the quantum function realized by micro- and mesoscopically controlled semiconductor heterostructures. Conducting polymer heterolayers, leading to a conducting polymer superlattice exhibiting quantum size effects, should take an important place in both novel electronic and optical devices. 

The second model is a quantum mechanical one where free electrons are contained in a box whose sides correspond to the surfaces of the metal. The wave functions for the standing waves inside the box yield permissible states essentially independent of the lattice type. The kinetic energy corresponding to the rejected states leads to the surface energy in fair agreement with experimental estimates [86, 87],... 

While field ion microscopy has provided an effective means to visualize surface atoms and adsorbates, field emission is the preferred technique for measurement of the energetic properties of the surface. The effect of an applied field on the rate of electron emission was described by Fowler and Nordheim [65] and is shown schematically in Fig. Vlll 5. In the absence of a field, a barrier corresponding to the thermionic work function, prevents electrons from escaping from the Fermi level. An applied field, reduces this barrier to 4> - F, where the potential V decreases linearly with distance according to V = xF. Quantum-mechanical tunneling is now possible through this finite barrier, and the solufion for an electron in a finite potential box gives... 

It is now necessary to examine the partition function in more detail. The energy states for translation are assumed to be given by the quantum-mechanical picture of a particle in a box. For a one-dimensional box of length a.

Unlike the solid state, the liquid state cannot be characterized by a static description. In a liquid, bonds break and refomi continuously as a fiinction of time. The quantum states in the liquid are similar to those in amorphous solids in the sense that the system is also disordered. The liquid state can be quantified only by considering some ensemble averaging and using statistical measures. For example, consider an elemental liquid. Just as for amorphous solids, one can ask what is the distribution of atoms at a given distance from a reference atom on average, i.e. the radial distribution function or the pair correlation function can also be defined for a liquid. In scattering experiments on liquids, a structure factor is measured. The radial distribution fiinction, g r), is related to the stnicture factor, S q), by...
