Relativistic binding energy

Assuming that substituted Sb at the surface may work as catalytic active site as well as W, First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed with Becke-Perdew [7, 9] functional to evaluate the binding energy between p-xylene and catalyst. Scalar relativistic effects were treated with the energy-consistent pseudo-potentials for W and Sb. However, the binding strength with p-xylene is much weaker for Sb (0.6 eV) than for W (2.4 eV), as shown in Fig. 4. 

In an effort to better understand the differences observed upon substitution in carvone possible changes in valence electron density produced by inductive effects, and so on, were investigated [38, 52]. A particularly pertinent way to probe for this in the case of core ionizations is by examining shifts in the core electron-binding energies (CEBEs). These respond directly to increase or decrease in valence electron density at the relevant site. The CEBEs were therefore calculated for the C=0 C 1 orbital, and also the asymmetric carbon atom, using Chong s AEa s method [75-77] with a relativistic correction [78].

Recently in applying the non-relativistic Skyrme Hartree-Fock (SHF) model Brown [19] noted that certain combinations of parameters in the SHF are not well determined by a fit to ground state binding energies alone as a result a wide range of predictions for the EoS for PNM can be obtained. At the same time he found a correlation between the derivative of the neutron star EoS (i.e., basically the symmetry pressure po) and the neutron skin in 208Pb. 

The only calculation we found for CdH is the work of Balasubramanian [68], using Cl with relativistic effective core potentials. The coupled-cluster results are presened in Table 6. Calculated values for R , cOg and Dg agree very well with experiment. Relativity contracts the bond by 0.04 and reduces the binding energy by 0.16 eV. The one- and two-component DK method reproduce the relativistic effects closely. Similar trends are observed for the excited states (Tables 7-9). Comparison with experiment is difficult for these states, since many of the experimental values are based on incomplete or uncertain data [65]. Calculated results for the CdH anion are shown in Table 10. The...

In this work we recalculate the structures of Au clusters with 6scalar relativistic Troullier-Martins pseudo-potentials , respectively, and within the SIESTA code" . In Fig 2 we present our results for the structures and relative binding energies. We see that GGA leads to planar structures whereas LDA favors 3D structures for n>7 clusters. Thus, in addition to relativistic effects, the observed planarity of Au clusters is accounted for using only the GGA level of theory. 

The classical nonrelativistic expansion goes over jp- jm . In the case of the loosely bound electron, the expansion in jp IrrP corresponds to expansion in (Za) hence, relativistic corrections are given by the expansion over even powers of Za. As we have seen above, from the explicit expressions for the energy levels in the Coulomb field the same parameter Za also characterizes the binding energy. For this reason, parameter Za is also often called the binding parameter, and the relativistic corrections carry the second name of binding corrections.
