Total Hamiltonian Subject

The total system is subject to the Hamiltonian (3.1). Its thermal equilibrium has the density matrix... 

A molecule M plus its bath B in an external field can be described as a total system with a Hamiltonian H = Hm + Hb + H m n I (f) which may depend on time if the total system is subject to an external electromagnetic field, as indicated. Given this, the density operator r(t) for the system satisfies the Liouville-von Neumann (L-vN) equation,... 

As Dewar points out in ref. [30a], this derivation is not really satisfactory. A rigorous approach is a simplified version of the derivation of the Hartree-Fock equations (Chapter 5, Section 5.2.3). It starts with the total molecular wavefunction expressed as a determinant, writes the energy in terms of this wavefunction and the Hamiltonian and finds the condition for minimum energy subject to the molecular orbitals being orthonormal (cf. orthogonal matrices, Section 4.3.3). The procedure is explained in some detail in Chapter 5, Section 5.2.3)... 

As before, the integral is subject to the condition that the total energy, kinetic plus potential, be equal to or less than E. The Hamiltonian for the one-dimensional classical oscillator can be rewritten as... 

Since the vibronic couphng contributions to e hamiltonian are one-electron operators, as are the ligand field operators Vlf, the calculation of perturbation energies is relatively simple. We start by considering d-orbital levels which are subject to a first order coupling perturbation due to the interaction with a totally symmetric vibrational mode ci with the atoms moving along the coordinate Si. 

Condensed phase dynamics such as electron and energy transfer are an important subject in quantum dissipative mechanics. It treats an arbitrary system (Hs) embedded in bath that assumes to be harmonic, hB= J2jt coj pj + xj). The total composite Hamiltonian assumes the form of ... 

This ensures that there is no contribution when there is only one electron in the open shell, while V2 V2 for sufficiently large numbers. The minimization of subject to the orthonormality constraints embodied in (6.5.6), may be performed exactly as in Section 6.5, using a correspondingly modified Hamiltonian (6.5.18). This Hamiltonian will be a total symmetric operator, whose eigenfunctions will be symmetry orbitals at all stages of the iteration functions of definite symmetry species, representing the spectroscopic states of the configuration, may then be set up without difficulty.
