Vacuum ground state

When Hg vapor, Hj, and He are expanded supersonically into vacuum, ground state Hg-H2 complexes are created and cooled to a few K [22], Since the binding energy is only 35cm and the bond distance is quite large ( 4.0 A) [55], the H2 molecule is essentially unhindered and has a random distribution of geometric orientations with respect to the Hg atom. Three types of spectra were obtained in order to characterize the processes that occur after excitation of the complex [22] ... 

UV photolysis (Chapman et al., 1976 Chedekel et al., 1976) and vacuum pyrolysis (Mal tsev et al., 1980) of trimethylsilyldiazomethane [122]. The silene formation occurred as a result of fast isomerization of the primary reaction product, excited singlet trimethylsilylcarbene [123] (the ground state of this carbene is triplet). When the gas-phase reaction mixture was diluted with inert gas (helium) singlet-triplet conversion took place due to intermolecular collisions and loss of excitation. As a result the final products [124] of formal dimerization of the triplet carbene [123] were obtained. 

If VQ > 0, then the threshold for photoionization into a vacuum Eva( = -Ee(ls). If VQ < 0, then that additional energy has to be supplied. Delahay (1976) has summarized this process, but the actual mechanism is still debatable. If AH and Evac are experimentally known, one can get an experimental measure of the medium rearrangement energy in the ground state, EM(ls) = E - AH. On that basis, since EM is always positive, Kestner (1976) prefers the lower experimental value of AH for e. ... 

The reflection symmetry of the Lagrangian has apparently been broken by choosing the ground state stable vacuum. This is achieved by defining the field... 

The ionization potential of a molecule is the energy from the ground state of the molecule (HOMO) to the vacuum level. It is measured using UPS or XPS. The electron affinity of the molecule is the energy from the vacuum level to the LUMO. It is measured using inverse photoelectron spectroscopy (IPES) [15]. The values obtained in the gas phase are different from those obtained in the solid state, and shifts due to amorphous versus crystalline regions can be noticed. 

Solving this iterative process gives rise to a set of orbitals to construct the ground state four-current, J (x), including vacuum polarization corrections due to the external field as well as the field mediating the interaction between the electrons. As the charge density in the nonrelativistic case, the four-current has the form of a reference noninteracting A-electron system,... 

Further we want to study the nonadiabatic corrections to the ground state. Therefore /o> will be the unperturbed ground state wave function (we shall use Hartree-Fock ground state Slater determinant -Fermi vacuum) and % ) will be boson ground state-boson vacuum 0).
