Potential square-well

While the smooth substrate considered in the preceding section is sufficiently reahstic for many applications, the crystallographic structure of the substrate needs to be taken into account for more realistic models. The essential complications due to lack of transverse symmetry can be dehneated by the following two-dimensional structured-wall model an ideal gas confined in a periodic square-well potential field (see Fig. 3). The two-dimensional lamella remains rectangular with variable dimensions Sy. and Sy and is therefore not subject to shear stresses. The boundaries of the lamella coinciding with the x and y axes are anchored. From Eqs. (2) and (10) one has...

Alder and Wainwright gave MD treatments of particles whose pair potential was very simple, typically the square well potential and the hard sphere potential. Rahman (1964) simulated liquid argon in 1964, and the subject has shown exponential growth since then. The 1970s saw a transition from atomic systems...

The sequence of levels shown in Figure 2 closely resembles the level diagram found by Mayer and Jensen by analysis of observed nuclear properties, with the help of the calculated level sequences for harmonic-oscillator and square-well potential func-...

The eigenvalues of the doublet are such that E < E2. It is the coupling between the two wells that lifts the degeneracy, as shown before for the double square-well potential. 

This result was used by Kronig and Penney to define a one-dimensional square well potential for solids. 

Although a square-well potential, with energy levels proportional to n2 is totally inappropriate to model the electronic levels of an atom, (E oc 1/n2), it provides a compelling qualitative rationalization of a whole class of chemical interactions. The simplest possible description of bond formation is in terms of two coalescing potential boxes [75]. 

Figure 6.2 Energies of single-particle orbitals in harmonic-oscillator and rounded square-well potentials, the latter with and without spin-orbit coupling. Numbers in parentheses indicate orbital capacities and those in square brackets give cumulative capacity up to the given point. [Reproduced by permission from Gordon and Coryell (1967).]...

Figure E.7 Schematic diagram of the infinite square well potential.

Two cases have been investigated. First, the solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation was obtained for an interfacial square-well potential for the anions, with W1 = lkT and d1 = 5 A. Second, a triangular well was employed for the potential (the interaction potential varying linearly form AW, = — IMF at x=0 to AW =0 at... 

Plot the Leimard-Jones potentials for each of the gases studied. Obtain ft from Eqs. (16)-(18) by numerioal integration and compare the values from this two-parameter potential with those from the van der Waals and Beattie-Bridgeman equations of state. Optional A simple square-well potential model can also be used to eradely represent the interaction of two molecules. In place of Eq. (18), use the square-well potential and parameters of Ref. 6 to ealeulate /t. Contrast with the results from the Lennard-Jones potential and comment on the sensitivity of the calculations to the form of the potential.]...
