State ground 26 -normalized

The loss of energy returns the particles to their original (ground) state, viz., their energy state at normal temperatures and pressures. 

One is familiar with the idea of discrete and definite electronic stales in molecules, as revealed by molecular spectroscopy. Each electronic stale possesses a number of vibrational states that are occupied to a great extent near the ground state at normal temperatures. Each vibrational state has, if the stcric conditions are enabling, a number of rotational states associated with it, and for gas molecules both the vibrational and the rotational states can easily be observed and measured spectroscopically. Correspondingly, the distribution of the vibrational states in solids (phonon spectra) is easily measurable.

Middle H/D diabatic potential energy curves Ua(Qu) for mode i/u (lowest states ground state, bolding and stretching fundamental, first bolding overtone arrows indicate laser excitation). Right two-dimensional (Qj4,Q3o) cuts through the adiabatic PES (obtained upon diagonalizing the field-free part of Eq. (1)) which has dominantly H/D stretching character but includes state and mode couplings (contours from 0 to 7400 cm-1).

Since H° is the sum of hydrogenlike Hamiltonians, the zeroth-order wave function is the product of hydrogenlike functions, one for each electron. We call any one-electron spatial wave function an orbital. To allow for electron spin, each spatial orbital is multiplied by a spin function (either a or 0) to give a spin-orbital. To introduce the required antisymmetry into the wave function, we take the zeroth-order wave function as a Slater determinant of spin-orbitals. For example, for the Li ground state, the normalized zeroth-order wave function is...

The ground-state vibrational normal modes of thymine have been extensively studied, both experimentally and computationally. Vibrational spectra of thymine in the polycrystalline state [96-104], in Ar and N2 matrices [105-109], and in the gas phase [110] have been measured. In the least interactive environments, only the 1 -d, 3-d, and 1,3-d2 derivatives have been measured, while a number of 2H and 15N isotopomers in the polycrystalline state have been measured for thymine [104], Semi-empirical [111,112] and ab initio [98,113-115] calculations have been used to assign the vibrational bands for natural abundance thymine. However, the most robust reconciliation of experiment and computation is a recent attempt to computationally reproduce the experimentally observed isotopic shifts in 10 different isotopomers [116] of thymine. The success of that attempt is an indication of the reliability of the resulting force field and normal modes. The resonance Raman vibrations of thymine, and their vibrational assignments, are given in Table 9-1. 

In the preceding sections we have outlined the requirements a cluster has to fulfill in order to dissociatively chemisorb H in summary, the cluster first has to contain at least one atom with a d occupation including at least one open d-orbital. Second, there has to be at least one open shell valence (s-character) orbital in the cluster wave-function. If there is only one open shell orbital, a dihydride or possibly a molecularly chemisorbed state will be formed. If there are at least two open shell orbitals, atomically chemisorbed hydrogen atoms of the type found on surfaces will be formed. The formation of the latter state is normally more exothermic. Finally, if these requirements are not fulfilled by the ground state wave-function of the cluster, excitation to a low lying state which satisfies the requirements and which has an excitation energy less than the exothermic ty 20 kcal/mol) will lead to... 

Generation of excited triplet states is normally achieved as a result of (iv) above and, once formed, they may decay by processes analogous to (i)—(iv) with the obvious distinction that radiative decay of triplet states is termed phosphorescence, and that radiationless transition of excited triplet states, back to ground singlet states, involves intersystem crossing. Whilst there are very many mechanisms whereby so called quenching of excited states may occur (1,2), and a full discussion is outside the scope of this article, a large part of the review will be... 

Wang et al. [45,46] have constructed a phase diagram of GO at different chemical potentials of oxygen and hydrogen. They found four thermodynamically stable GO structures as shown in Fig. 5.2, which are all fully oxidized and can only exist at extreme 0-rich and H-poor conditions. Genetic algorithm has also been used to study GO structure [47]. In the epoxy-only case, the ground state contains normal epoxy, unzipped epoxy, and epoxy pair.

In order to discuss the decay of an optically excited state, we have to make some assumptions on the form of the dipole. As is well known, in fact, the whole time-dependent photo-physical behavior can be simply determined by propagating in time the doorway state, which is obtained by acting with the dipole operator on the ground state (and normalizing). Such excited state can be prepared by photon absorption from a light pulse whose profile in time is a 6, i.e. in practice, a pulse much shorter than the characteristic life-time of the doorway state itself (for...
