Variation principle 466 INDEX

We discussed mainly some of the possible applications of Fukui function and local softness in this chapter, and described some practical protocols one needs to follow when applying these parameters to a particular problem. We have avoided the deeper but related discussion about the theoretical development for DFT-based descriptors in recent years. Fukui function and chemical hardness can rigorously be defined through the fundamental variational principle of DFT [37,38]. In this section, we wish to briefly mention some related reactivity concepts, known as electrophilicity index (W), spin-philicity, and spin-donicity. 

Define the functional U(Q [v[/])=q integration over the electronic configuration space is indicated as a sub-index. The variational principle applied [6] to the (spin-free) function space v /(q) leads to the Euler-Lagrange equation ... 

We now return to Equation A2.3 and substitute into it Equation A2.4. We then obtain A2.7, where N is the total number of basis orbitals being used. The variation principle now has to be applied to A2.7 to find the values of the c s which will give the best iji s possible with the chosen basis. The energy is minimized simultaneously with respect to all the c s by carrying out a partial differentiation with respect to each c and making the derivatives of the energy satisfy A2.8. The result, after some manipulations, is a set of N equations of the form A2.9, where the index i takes a different value for each equation. 

In principle both approaches may differ in the index of the stationary geometries sensed by the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix. The variational principle implies, in the present electronuclear approach, that any stationary conformation is a minimum since geometric variations must conserve symmetry to do actual computing one should use variations in the an-space. On the other hand, in the... 

The Kohn-Rostoker variational principle [204] implies variational equations in the extended basis , . Each energy-independent ACO basis function k is defined by one fixed function equations indexed by 4>K in cell r/x for the coefficients in fk are... 

The Schlosser-Marcus variational principle [359] provides an alternative that does not use structure constants. On substituting the expansion of an energy-independent ACO into the SM variational functional, the variational equations indexed by in cell r/( are...

Hartree-Fock Scheme.- For the sake of simplicity, we will consider the eigenvlue relations (2.3) for a non-degenerate eigenvalue X, for which 0. If Ca and Da are two approximate solutions - characterized by the index "a"- the best approximations are obtained by using the bi-variational principle (B.3.6). In the Hartree-Fock scheme for N fermions, the approximate solutions are represented by two Slater determinants ... 

In this formula, X = /n ZhX, is the average value, =- /k-1X(-T, — X) is the standard deviation. The greater of the coefficient of variation, the index s identifieation ability is stronger. According to actual needs, if the coefficient of variation is relatively smaller, the evaluation index could be deleted. According to the above principles, using method of SPSS 16.0 to variance analysis, the evaluation index on the basis of analysis of variance computation in the evaluation system of 31 evaluation index variation analysis, the coefficient of variation of six evaluation indexes is relatively smaller, then they were deleted, and the other 25 indicators were retained, which constitutes the fourth round of safety, quality, progress, investment risk index system. 

It is evident that the exchange-correlation potential operating on a electrons need not be the same as operating on [3 electrons for two possible reasons either (i) there can be different total numbers of a versus [3 electrons N, N ), or (ii) there can be differences in the local a versus [3 density (p , p ) whether or not the total numbers are different. Since the exchange-correlation holes are different for parallel vs. antiparallel spin electrons and more efficient for electrons of the same spin index, if there is sufficient freedom in the spin orbital density, these electron densities pa, pp) and corresponding potentials may separate into distinctive a and (3 parts. Let us consider a case where this is energetically favored in accordance with the variational principle and compare with the spin restricted case. 

The principle of operation of this sensor is based on the fact that, as the fundamental optical mode travels through the MNF, its shape is modified depending on the index contrast between the solution in the channel and the polymer. Consequently, the change of the fundamental mode results in variation of the MNF... 

In Sect. 15.2 we concluded that refractive index variation in the aqueous cover media shifts the effective refractive index of the waveguide modes. Thus, by monitoring on-line the effective refractive index, the refractive index change can be followed. This is the basic principle of waveguide sensing. 

Since the variation of any physical property in a three dimensional crystal is a periodic function of the three space coordinates, it can be expanded into a Fourier series and the determination of the structure is equivalent to the determination of the complex Fourier coefficients. The coefficients are indexed with the vectors of the reciprocal lattice (one-to-one relationship). In principle the expansion contains an infinite number of coefficients. However, the series is convergent and determination of more and more coefficients (corresponding to all reciprocal lattice points within a sphere, whose radius is given by the length of a reciprocal lattice vector) results in a determination of the stmcture with better and better spatial resolution. Both the amplitude and the phase of the complex number must be determined for any Fourier coefficient. The amplitudes are determined from diffraction... 

Many techniques are based on this principle and can be used for the analysis of all types of samples. The spectrum obtained from reflected light is not identical to that obtained by transmittance. The spectral composition of the reflected beam depends on the variation of the refractive index of the compound with wavelength. This can lead to specular reflection, diffuse reflection or attenuated total reflection. Each device is designed to favour only one of the above. The recorded spectrum must be corrected using computer software. 

In-situ measurement technique of water vapor concentration in gas flow channels in PEMFCs using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS)31-36 is also shown with fundamental descriptions on its measuring principle and validity of a practical system. Localized current density and through-plane water-back transport index are obtained with variation of vapor concentration along the gas channel taken into account. Demonstrative results showing that effect of the micro porous layer (MPL) on variation of through-plane water-back transport index is shown in an operating PEMFC. 

In principle one can also obtain data on refractive-index differences by measuring the indices of solutions, but this method suffers from a number of problems. Even for moderately concentrated solutions, the absolute index differences are small, and it is difficult to be certain that they are not masked by effects of small variations in temperature or concentration. 

By consequently following this synthesis principle of alternating non-absorbing films with large refractive index difference, it is possible to build up dielectric mirrors with more than 99% reflectance. These simple dielectric 4 multilayer systems are the basis of a large number of optical thin film products fabricated with special film thickness variations, a few examples of which will be mentioned. 

The techniques most frequently employed are absorption, reflectance and fluorescence, with some attempts to exploit the variation in refractive index of the sensitive polymer acting as the cladding for the fiber. The general principle of semi-active and active optodes (Chapter 12) is applied. The optical spectrum of an optode is modified by chemical action between a reagent (indicator), immobilized on the fiber or an inert support at its end, and the activity of the H ions (Oh )=...
