Virial theorem system

In spite of its simplicity and the visual similarity of this equation to Eq. (7), we would like to note that Eq. (11) leads to a nontrivial thermodynamics of a partially quenched system in terms of correlation functions, see, e.g.. Ref. 25 for detailed discussion. Evidently, the principal route for and to the virial theorem is to exploit the thermodynamics of the replicated system. However, special care must be taken then, because the V and s derivatives do not commute. Moreover, the presence of two different temperatures, Pq and P, requires attention in taking temperature derivatives, setting those temperatures equal, if appropriate, only at the end of the calculations. 

The energy of a Is-electron in a hydrogen-like system (one nucleus and one electron) is —Z /2, and classically this is equal to minus the kinetic energy, 1/2 mv, due to the virial theorem E — —T = 1/2 V). In atomic units the classical velocity of a Is-electron is thus Z m= 1). The speed of light in these units is 137.036, and it is clear that relativistic effects cannot be neglected for the core electrons in heavy nuclei. For nuclei with large Z, the Is-electrons are relativistic and thus heavier, which has the effect that the 1 s-orbital shrinks in size, by the same factor by which the mass increases (eq. (8.2)). 

We now consider more interesting properties that can be extracted in our approach which cannot be extracted in a standard X-ray charge analysis. For a system at equilibrium, the virial theorem gives the total energy as... 

In chemistry, several properties such as enthalpy of formation, dipole moments, etc., are analyzed for molecules on the basis of an additivity approximation. The same was applied to Compton profiles by Eisenberger and Marra [14], who measured the Compton profiles of hydrocarbons and extracted bond Compton profiles by a least squares fitting. This also enabled an approximate evaluation of the energy of these systems from the virial theorem. 

Virial theorem Lowering the energy of system either by an improved wave function or by a chemical change such as bonding, leads to a shift of momentum density from regions of lower to higher momentum. 

Our aim here is to apply the differential virial theorem to get an expression for the Kohn-Sham XC potential. To this end, we assume that a noninteracting system giving the same density as that of the interacting system exists. This system satisfies Equation 7.4, i.e., the Kohn-Sham equation. Since the total potential term of Kohn-Sham equation is the external potential for the noninteracting system, application of the differential virial relationship of Equation 7.41 to this system gives... 

Now we discuss the differential virial theorem for HF theory and the corresponding Kohn-Sham system. The Kohn-Sham system in this case is constructed [41] to... 

The conclusion that the local hardness is given entirely by the variable parts of the kinetic energy is very logical. It is the kinetic energy increase which limits the distribution of electron density in all systems with fixed nuclei. Since the equilibrium state of atoms and molecules is characterized by minimum energy, they will also be marked by maximum kinetic energy because of the virial theorem. This will put them in agreement with the principles of maximum hardness, for which much evidence exists. 

We have applied a slight variation of this general idea to the exchange-correlation potential of the He atom [18], The virial theorem applied to the Kohn-Sham system yields [39] ... 

A differential virial theorem represents an exact, local (at space point r) relation involving the external potential u(r), the (ee) interaction potential u r,r ), the diagonal elements of the 1st and 2nd order DMs, n(r) and n2(r,r ), and the 1st order DM p(ri r2) close to diagonal , for a particular system. As it will be shown, it is a very useful tool for establishing various exact relations for a many electron systems. The mentioned dependence on p may be written in terms of the kinetic energy density tensor, defined as... 

From the differential virial theorem (165) for interacting electron systems one can obtain immediately an analogous theorem for noninteracting systems, just by putting m = 0 and replacing the external potential i (r) with Vs(r) ... 

The differential virial theorem (169) for noninteracting systems can alternatively be obtained [31], [32] by summing (with the weights fj ) similar relations obtained for separate eigenfunctions 4>ja(r) of the one-electron Schrodinger equation (40) [in particular the KS equation (50)]. Just in that way one can obtain, from the one-electron HF equations (33), the differential virial theorem for the HF (approximate) solution of the GS problem, as is shown in Appendix B, Eq. (302), in a form ... 

Many interesting integral relations may be deduced from the differential virial theorem, allowing us to check the accuracy of various characteristics and functionals concerning a particular system (for noninteracting systems see e.g. in [31] and [32]). As an example, let us derive here the global virial theorem. Applying the operation Jd rY,r, to Eq. (165), we obtain... 

The topological analysis of the total density, developed by Bader and coworkers, leads to a scheme of natural partitioning into atomic basins which each obey the virial theorem. The sum of the energies of the individual atoms defined in this way equals the total energy of the system. While the Bader partitioning was initially developed for the analysis of theoretical densities, it is equally applicable to model densities based on the experimental data. The density obtained from the Fourier transform of the structure factors is generally not suitable for this purpose, because of experimental noise, truncation effects, and thermal smearing.

The stress in the network can then be expressed by the virial theorem, Eq. (6), where in the molecular theory, the set of particles considered is not all the atoms of the system but only the end atoms of each chain, and they are regarded as subject to the force in the chain connecting them. That is, the stress ty is then given by... 

The statistical mechanical verification of the adsorption Equation 11 proceeds most conveniently with use of the expression for y given by Equation 5. An identical starting formula is obtained via the virial theorem or by differentiation of the grand partition function (3). We simplify the presentation, without loss of generality, by restricting ourselves to multicomponent classical systems possessing a potential of intermolecular forces of the form... 

Constraint dynamics is just what it appears to be the equations of motion of the molecules are altered so that their motions are constrained to follow trajectories modified to mclude a constraint or constraints such as constant (total) kinetic energy or constant pressure, where the pressure in a dense adsorbed phase is given by the virial theorem. In statistical mechanics where large numbers of particles are involved, constraints are added by using the method of undetermined multipliers. (This approach to constrained dynamics was presented many years ago for mechanical systems by Gauss.) Suppose one has a constraint g(R, V)=0 that depends upon all the coordinates R=rj,r2...rN and velocities V=Vi,V2,...vn of all N particles in the system. By differentiation with respect to time, this constraint can be rewritten as l dV/dt -i- s = 0 where I and s are functions of R and V only. Gauss principle states that the constrained equations of motion can be written as ... 

The full usefulness of the classification using V Pb must await the development of the quantum mechanical aspects of the theory. The Laplacian of the charge density appears in the local expression of the virial theorem and it is shown that its sign determines the relative importance of the local contributions of the potential and kinetic energies to the total energy of the system, A full discussion of this topic is given in Section 7.4. 

The non-vanishing of the flux of a quantum mechanical current in the absence of a magnetic field is what distinguishes the mechanics of a subsystem from that of the total system in a stationary state. The flux in the current density will vanish through any surface on which i// satisfies the natural boundary condition, Vi/ n = 0 (eqn (5.62)), a condition which is satisfied by a system with boundaries at infinity. Thus, for a total system the energy is stationary in the usual sense, 5 [i/ ] = 0, and the usual form of the hyper-virial theorem is obtained with the vanishing of the commutator average. 

The atomic statements of the Ehrenfest force law and of the virial theorem establish the mechanics of an atom in a molecule. As was stressed in the derivations of these statements, the mode of integration used to obtain an atomic average of an observable is determined by the definition of the subsystem energy functional i2]. It is important to demonstrate that the definition of this functional is not arbitrary, but is determined by the requirement that the definition of an open system, as obtained from the principle of stationary action, be stated in terms of a physical property of the total system. This requirement imposes a single-particle basis on the definition of an atom, as expressed in the boundary condition of zero flux in the gradient vector field of the charge density, and on the definition of its average properties.
