Spin-orbit energies

So, within the limitations of the single-detenninant, frozen-orbital model, the ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs) are given as the negative of the occupied and virtual spin-orbital energies, respectively. This statement is referred to as Koopmans theorem [47] it is used extensively in quantum chemical calculations as a means for estimating IPs and EAs and often yields results drat are qualitatively correct (i.e., 0.5 eV). 

The spin-orbit energy —Ms B may be related to the spin and orbital angular momenta through equations (7.1) and (7.29)... 

The effect of the spin-orbit interaction term on the total energy is easily shown to be small. The angular momenta L and S are each on the order of h and the distance r is of the order of the radius ao of the first Bohr orbit. If we also neglect the small difference between the electronic mass We and the reduced mass the spin-orbit energy is of the order of... 

The energy of this wave function is the sum of the spin orbital energies, E = Eji + " + EjH. We have already seen a brief glimpse of this approximation to the /-electron wave function, the Hartree product, in Section 1.3.

Figure 11.8 Details of the spin-down (P-spin) orbital energy levels at q = 0 showing the different types of Fe(34)-Fe(34) bonding interactions (from Sherman, 1987a). The only occupied orbital is the 16a level. Excitation of the p-spin electron between the 16a, and 17a levels corresponds to a Fe2+ —>Fe3 IVCT transition observed in optical spectra of minerals (cf. table 4.2).

The spin-orbit coupling therefore removes the degeneracy of the so-called fine-structure states listed above. For example, simply by substituting the appropriate values of J, L and S, the three fine-structure components arising from the L = 1, S= 1 configuration are calculated to have the following first-order spin orbit energies ...

With the basis functions of Table 8.46 and the one-electron matrix elements of equation (8.103), it is a simple matter to calculate the crystal field energies. We present in Table 8.48 the complete crystal-field and spin-orbit energy matrices of f1 in D3h the splitting of the 2F of f1 configuration under spin-orbit interaction and further in D3h crystalline field is shown in Fig. 8.44.
