Reference State exchanger component

This point was raised by K. L. Babcock, L. E. Davis, and R. Overstreet, Ionic activities in ion-exchange systems, Soil Sci. 72 253 (1951). The problem of the Reference State for ion exchangers is reviewed by L. W. Holm, On the thermodynamics of ion exchange equilibria. I. The thermodynamical equilibrium in relation to the reference states and components, Aark. Kem. 10 151 (1956). 

Chemical solid state processes are dependent upon the mobility of the individual atomic structure elements. In a solid which is in thermal equilibrium, this mobility is normally attained by the exchange of atoms (ions) with vacant lattice sites (i.e., vacancies). Vacancies are point defects which exist in well defined concentrations in thermal equilibrium, as do other kinds of point defects such as interstitial atoms. We refer to them as irregular structure elements. Kinetic parameters such as rate constants and transport coefficients are thus directly related to the number and kind of irregular structure elements (point defects) or, in more general terms, to atomic disorder. A quantitative kinetic theory therefore requires a quantitative understanding of the behavior of point defects as a function of the (local) thermodynamic parameters of the system (such as T, P, and composition, i.e., the fraction of chemical components). This understanding is provided by statistical thermodynamics and has been cast in a useful form for application to solid state chemical kinetics as the so-called point defect thermodynamics. 

The main difference and the potential of this approach lies in the detail that Vxc(r) includes not only the exchange in the Hartree-Fock (HF) equations, but also the correlation (referred to all that is missed by the Hartree-Fock approach) components. In addition, the difference between the exact kinetic energy of the system and the one calculated from the KS orbitals are included. This method states that Vxc(r) is the best way to describe the fact that every electron aims to maximize the attraction from the nuclei and to minimize the repulsion from the rest of the electrons along its constant movement within an entity (atom or molecule). Vxc(r) describes the exchange correlation... 

The CSTR is an open system exchanging mass and energy with its environment. It is said to achieve a steady state whenever its state variables are invariant in time this is also often referred to as a fixed-point solution. Under such conditions, the transient balance for each chemical component in the... 

Many efforts were made to improve the TDDFT description of the excited states with significant CT components (see the recent papers [113-116] and references therein). Unfortunately, some expectations on the range-separated exchange-correlation functionals did not fully come true, as it is shown in [117] where the singlet-triplet splitting is examined. That work and papers [118-120] tell us that the M06 family of Truhlar s functionals seems to be more attractive and promising for solving molecular spectroscopy problems.
