Quantum species

C, Anchors, Molecules and Independent Quantum Species II. The Phase-Change Rule and the Construction of Loops... 

Once again, in raising the profile of the simplest anion in nature in principle, these data focus our attention on one of the most intriguing quantum species in practice, for which a fully quantitative and predictive quantum theory has yet to be developed. Recent molecular dynamics simulations (Nichols and Chandler, 1986 Wallquist et al., 1986 Schnitker et al., 1986, 1987, 1988 Sprik et al., 1985, 1988 Jonah et al., 1986, Parrinello and Rahman, 1984) are now exploring various aspects of electron-cluster interactions to determine the cluster size, stability and structure of hydrated electrons in particular. In the chapter following this, we outline some of our initial attempts to introduce...
