The overall hamiltonian

Abstract. The overall Hamiltonian structure of the Quantum-Classical Molecular Dynamics model makes - analogously to classical molecular dynamics - symplectic integration schemes the methods of choice for long-term simulations. This has already been demonstrated by the symplectic PICKABACK method [19]. However, this method requires a relatively small step-size due to the high-frequency quantum modes. Therefore, following related ideas from classical molecular dynamics, we investigate symplectic multiple-time-stepping methods and indicate various possibilities to overcome the step-size limitation of PICKABACK. 

Using this transformation, it has been shown in Refs. [54,72] that the effective-mode Hamiltonian Heg by itself reproduces the short-time dynamics of the overall system exactly. This is reflected by an expansion of the propagator, for which it can be shown that the first few terms of the expansion - relating to the first three moments of the overall Hamiltonian - are exactly reproduced by the reduced-dimensional Hamiltonian Heg.

Choosing a physically motivated representation is useful in developing physically guided approximation schemes. A commonly used approximation for the model (12,4)—(12.6) is to disregard tenns with j j in the system-bath interaction (12.5b). The overall Hamiltonian then takes the fonn... 

Conversely, the effect of the interactions cannot be neglected when temperature increases. The expression of HM, yielded in Table 1 for D3h symmetry, enables us to determine the exact solutions of the overall Hamiltonian, but this necessitates a computer with a large storage capacity. Then, a qualitative approach may be achieved from the binuclear species (Ru209)10 which brings up the same problem, but in a more simple way. In this respect, we have plotted in Fig. 20 the theoretical curves of susceptibility for some values of the ratio J/X (only one exchange constant was considered). 

LFT is a parametric approach in which the symmetry of the complex is treated explicitly but the bonding is handled implicitly through the ligand field parameters. These parameters describe the three contributions to the overall Hamiltonian, FI the ligand field, Hup, interelectronic repulsion, Z/ er and spin orbit coupling, Hps- The relative importance of each of these terms depends on the element s position in the periodic table. 

We have separated variables so that the overall Hamiltonian may be written... 

SO that atoms remain near the corresponding mesh point on either side of the interface at all times. The way the hand-shake Hamiltonian is constructed is based on the idea that the interactions at the interface can be approximated to first order by an average of the two descriptions. This means that bonds completely contained in the MD region, or elements in the FE one, contribute with a full weight to the Hamiltonian, while bonds or elements only partially contained in their natural region contribute with a reduced weight to the overall Hamiltonian. More specifically, when considering as semiempirical potential the SW one, the hand-shake Hamiltonian becomes...

For the DNP process to proceed from an initial polarization zone, it is essential that polarization be either transported to other nuclei via spin diffusion, as is the case in the solid state. Alternatively, in liquids unpolarized nuclei become available by translational diffusion. These two options are responsible for largely different polarization processes in (insulating) solids as compared to liquids (and metals). In liquids, this process is fundamentally different, and rotational and translational diffusion processes govern the polarization process, as originally described by Hausser et al. [37], Muller-Warmuth et al. [39] and others. Relaxation processes are driven by the time dependence of the overall Hamiltonian, arising form variations in the vector r and the hyperfine coupling constants, causing relaxation transitions between the spin states. 

The ideas about quantum parallelism and quantum complexity theory that will be reviewed in the next section are based on machines that compute according to the switching scheme. That is, the overall Hamiltonian is time dependent. 

In the previous section we saw on an example the main steps of a standard statistical mechanical description of an interface. First, we introduce a Hamiltonian describing the interaction between particles. In principle this Hamiltonian is known from the model introduced at a microscopic level. Then we calculate the free energy and the interfacial structure via some approximations. In principle, this approach requires us to explore the overall phase space which is a manifold of dimension 6N equal to the number of degrees of freedom for the total number of particles, N, in the system. 

We assume that exploring all possible forms for the fields corresponds to exploring the overall usual phase space. To determine the partition function Z the contributions from all the p+ r) and P- r) distributions are summed up with a statistical weight, dependent on p+ r) and p (r), put in the form analogous to the Boltzmann factor exp[—p (F)]], where the effective Hamiltonian p (F)] is a functional of the fields. The... 

It is seen that the symmetry of the non-coulombic non-local interaction in the bulk phase forces the symmetry of the localized interaction with the wall. If we omitted the surface Hamiltonian and set / = 0 we would still obtain the boundary condition setting the gradient of the overall ionic density to zero. The boundary condition due to electrostatics is given by... 

The frustration effects are implicit in many physical systems, as different as spin glass magnets, adsorbed monomolecular films and liquid crystals [32, 54, 55], In the case of polar mesogens the dipolar frustrations may be modelled by a spin system on a triangular lattice (Fig, 5), The corresponding Hamiltonian consists of a two particle dipolar potential that has competing parallel dipole and antiparallel dipole interactions [321, The system is analyzed in terms of dimers and trimers of dipoles. When the dipolar forces between two of them cancel, the third dipole experiences no overall interaction. It is free to permeate out of the layer, thus frustrating smectic order. 

The scheme we employ uses a Cartesian laboratory system of coordinates which avoids the spurious small kinetic and Coriolis energy terms that arise when center of mass coordinates are used. However, the overall translational and rotational degrees of freedom are still present. The unconstrained coupled dynamics of all participating electrons and atomic nuclei is considered explicitly. The particles move under the influence of the instantaneous forces derived from the Coulombic potentials of the system Hamiltonian and the time-dependent system wave function. The time-dependent variational principle is used to derive the dynamical equations for a given form of time-dependent system wave function. The choice of wave function ansatz and of sets of atomic basis functions are the limiting approximations of the method. Wave function parameters, such as molecular orbital coefficients, z,(f), average nuclear positions and momenta, and Pfe(0, etc., carry the time dependence and serve as the dynamical variables of the method. Therefore, the parameterization of the system wave function is important, and we have found that wave functions expressed as generalized coherent states are particularly useful. A minimal implementation of the method [16,17] employs a wave function of the form ... 

Again, as in the one-band case, it is necessary to perform self-consistent calculations (for a given previously converged po(T) set) till the overall convergence is reached i.e. the on-site effective levels as well as the hoppings are converged. Once achieved, the effective Hamiltonian iLg// can be used... 

The ZSA phase diagram and its variants provide a satisfactory description of the overall electronic structure of stoichiometric and ordered transition-metal compounds. Within the above description, the electronic properties of transition-metal oxides are primarily determined by the values of A, and t. There have been several electron spectroscopic (photoemission) investigations in order to estimate the interaction strengths. Valence-band as well as core-level spectra have been analysed for a large number of transition-metal and rare-earth compounds. Calculations of the spectra have been performed at different levels of complexity, but generally within an Anderson impurity Hamiltonian. In the case of metallic systems, the situation is complicated by the presence of a continuum of low-energy electron-hole excitations across the Fermi level. These play an important role in the case of the rare earths and their intermetallics. This effect is particularly important for the valence-band spectra. 

Crowell discovered a variety of effects numerically, including modified Rabi flopping, which has an inverse frequency dependence similar to that observed in the solid state in reciprocal noise [73]. The latter is also explained by Crowell [17] using a non-Abelian model. A variety of other effects of RFR on the quantum electrodynamical level was also reported numerically [17]. The overall result is that the occurrence, classically, of the B V> field means that there is a quantum electrodynamical Hamiltonian generated by the classical term proportional to 3 2. This induces transitional behavior because it contributes to the dynamics of probability amplitudes [17]. The Hamiltonian is a quartic potential where the value of determines the value of the potential. The latter has two minima one where B = 0 and the other for a finite value of the B i) field, corresponding to states that are invariants of the Lagrangian but not of the vacuum.
