Symmetrized perturbation theory

On the other hand, people took a closer look at the symmetrized perturbation theory of Eisenschitz and London, which in principle can give a full potential energy surface (PES), not just the long range of it. 

The contribution of the electron to the diamagnetic susceptibility of the system can be calculated by the methods of quantum-mechanical perturbation theory, a second-order perturbation treatment being needed for the term in 3C and a first-order treatment for that in 3C". In case that the potential function in 3C° is cylindrical symmetrical about the s axis, the effect of 3C vanishes, and the contribution of the electron to the susceptibility (per mole) is given...

The direct product base of the nuclear spin functions of two geometrically equivalent nuclei reduces to two classes, containing six A-type and three B-type functions, respectively.

All results obtained below with the thermodynamic perturbation theory are limited to the case of axially symmetric anisotropy potentials (see the Appendix, Section A.2), and all explicit calculations are done assuming uniaxial anisotropy (see the Appendix, Section B). 

Specifically, the collision-induced absorption and emission coefficients for electric-dipole forbidden atomic transitions were calculated for weak radiation fields and photon energies Ha> near the atomic transition frequencies, utilizing the concepts and methods of the traditional theory of line shapes for dipole-allowed transitions. The example of the S-D transition induced by a spherically symmetric perturber (e.g., a rare gas atom) is treated in detail and compared with measurements. The case of the radiative collision, i.e., a collision in which both colliding atoms change their state, was also considered. 

It is hardly surprising that, as the microwave power is raised, higher order multiphoton processes are observed. On the other hand, it may be surprising that for each m 0 the cross sections first increase then decrease with microwave power. For example, the m = cross section is clearly zero in the lowest trace. Similarly, the m = 0 cross section vanishes in the trace one above the lowest but reappears in the lowest trace. Such behavior, typical of the strong field regime, is not predicted by perturbation theory. Close inspection of Fig. 15.5 reveals that the positions of the collisional resonances shift to lower static field as the microwave power is raised. Finally, in contrast to the usual observation of broadening with increased power, the (0,0)m resonances, which are well isolated from other resonances, develop from broad asymmetric resonances to narrow symmetric ones as the microwave power is raised. 

The application of perturbation theory to many-body interactions leads to pairwise-additive and non-pairwise-additive contributions. For example, in the case of neutral, spherically symmetric systems which are separated by distances such that the orbital overlap can be neglected, the first non-pairwise-additive term appears at third order of the Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation treatment and corresponds to the dispersion energy which results from the induced-dipole-induced-dipole-induced-dipole78 interaction... 

In the analyses of conventional ZB semiconductors, we frequently assume a symmetric parabolic band for the conduction band state, and the Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian is used to describe the valence band states. In general, the effective Hamiltonian is derived from a k.p perturbation theory or from the theory of invariants developed by Pikus and Bir. In the latter theory, the operator form of the effective Hamiltonian can easily be constructed from symmetry consideration alone. Within this framework, the lowest two conduction bands and the upper six valence bands are described to the second order of k. The invariant forms of the Hamiltonians are written as follows [26,27] ...
