Second external fields

The second equality is obtained using the fomi of the external field r Jspecific to the relaxation... 

The first term on the right-hand side is a contribution from external fields, usually zero. The second term is the contribution from the kinetic energy and the nuclear attraction. The third term is the Coulomb repulsion between the electrons, and the final term is a composite exchange and correlation term. 

These concepts play an important role in the Hard and Soft Acid and Base (HSAB) principle, which states that hard acids prefer to react with hard bases, and vice versa. By means of Koopmann s theorem (Section 3.4) the hardness is related to the HOMO-LUMO energy difference, i.e. a small gap indicates a soft molecule. From second-order perturbation theory it also follows that a small gap between occupied and unoccupied orbitals will give a large contribution to the polarizability (Section 10.6), i.e. softness is a measure of how easily the electron density can be distorted by external fields, for example those generated by another molecule. In terms of the perturbation equation (15.1), a hard-hard interaction is primarily charge controlled, while a soft-soft interaction is orbital controlled. Both FMO and HSAB theories may be considered as being limiting cases of chemical reactivity described by the Fukui ftinction. 

Note that while the power-law distribution is reminiscent of that observed in equilibrium thermodynamic systems near a second-order phase transition, the mechanism behind it is quite different. Here the critical state is effectively an attractor of the system, and no external fields are involved. 

To second order in the external field, the scattering amplitude is given by... 

Before returning to the non-BO rate expression, it is important to note that, in this spectroscopy case, the perturbation (i.e., the photon s vector potential) appears explicitly only in the p.i f matrix element because this external field is purely an electronic operator. In contrast, in the non-BO case, the perturbation involves a product of momentum operators, one acting on the electronic wavefimction and the second acting on the vibration/rotation wavefunction because the non-BO perturbation involves an explicit exchange of momentum between the electrons and the nuclei. As a result, one has matrix elements of the form (P/ t)Xf > in the non-BO case where one finds lXf > in the spectroscopy case. A primary difference is that derivatives of the vibration/rotation functions appear in the former case (in (P/(J.)x ) where only X appears in the latter. 

We have assumed that the local and external field are equal. In eqn (3) j0(x) and j2(x) are the zeroth and second order spherical Bessel functions, r is the distance vector connecting... 

When a strong static electric field is applied across a medium, its dielectric and optical properties become anisotropic. When a low frequency analyzing electric field is used to probe the anisotropy, it is called the nonlinear dielectric effect (NLDE) or dielectric saturation (17). It is the low frequency analogue of the Kerr effect. The interactions which cause the NLDE are similar to those of EFLS. For a single flexible polar molecule, the external field will influence the molecule in two ways firstly, it will interact with the total dipole moment and orient it, secondly, it will perturb the equilibrium conformation of the molecule to favor the conformations with the larger dipole moment. Thus, the orientation by the field will cause a decrease while the polarization of the molecule will cause an... 

The reorganization of the solvent molecules can be expressed through the change in the slow polarization. Consider a small volume element AC of the solvent in the vicinity of the reactant it has a dipole moment m = Ps AC caused by the slow polarization, and its energy of interaction with the external field Eex caused by the reacting ion is —Ps Eex AC = —Ps D AC/eo, since Eex = D/eo- We take the polarization Ps as the relevant outer-sphere coordinate, and require an expression for the contribution AU of the volume element to the potential energy of the system. In the harmonic approximation this must be a second-order polynomial in Ps, and the linear term is the interaction with the external field, so that the equilibrium values of Ps in the absence of a field vanishes ... 

A final remark about the line intensities in Fig. 5.10 (left) as the field is directed perpendicular to the y-beam, the situation corresponding to (p=9i)° in Table 5.4 applies and the line intensities from outward to inward are in the proportions of 3 4 1. One can also apply the external field parallel to the y-beam, with the result that the second and fifth lines of the sextet disappear from the spectra ( =0 in Table 5.4). Bpdker et al. [25] used this to simplify the spectrum of small iron particles and could in this way analyze the shape of the outer lines in more detail. 

As example of continued investigation in this report is measurement of induced conductivity of Teflon FEP film after radiation of 35 micrometer films by 50 to 100 kilovolts x-rays (Mo target) and currents between 2.5 mA and 20 mA. Seventy-five kilovolt x-rays, with dosages between 25 rads per second and 220 rads per second, produced conductivity that was studied under 90 volts of applied external field, equivalent to 3.75 x 101 volts per cm.

The functions PJT(cos 9) are associated Legendre functions of the first kind of degree n and order m, and z (kr) denotes any of four spherical Bessel functions. The choice of the spherical Bessel function depends on the domain of interest, that is, on whether we are looking for the solution inside the sphere (r < a) or outside the sphere (r > a). For the internal field we choose z (kr) = j (kr), where j (kr) is the spherical Bessel function of the first kind of order n. The solution for the external field can be written in terms of spherical Bessel functions j kr) and y kr), where the latter is the spherical Bessel function of the second kind, but it is more convenient to introduce the spherical Hankel function /i / (kr) to determine tj/ for the outer field.
