The C-H spin couplings (Jen) have been dealt with in numerous studies, either by determinations on samples with natural abundance (122, 168, 224, 231, 257, 262, 263) or on samples specifically enriched in the 2-, 4-, or 5-positions (113) (Table 1-39). This last work confirmed some earlier measurements and permitted the determination for the first time of JcH 3nd coupling constants. The coupling, between a proton and the carbon atom to which it is bonded, can be calculated (264) with summation rule of Malinovsky (265,266), which does not distinguish between the 4- and 5-positions, and by use of CNDO/2 molecular wave functions the numerical values thus - obtained are much too low, but their order agrees with experiment. The same is true for Jch nd couplings. 

Section 1 1 A review of some fundamental knowledge about atoms and electrons leads to a discussion of wave functions, orbitals, and the electron con figurations of atoms Neutral atoms have as many electrons as the num ber of protons m the nucleus These electrons occupy orbitals m order of increasing energy with no more than two electrons m any one orbital The most frequently encountered atomic orbitals m this text are s orbitals (spherically symmetrical) and p orbitals ( dumbbell shaped)... 

Another consequence of the quantum theory of the atomic and nuclear systems is that no two protons, or two neutrons, can have exactly the same wave function. The practical appHcation of this rule is that only a specific number of particles can occupy any particular atomic or nuclear level. This prevents all of the electrons of the atom, or protons and neutrons in the nucleus, from deexciting to the single lowest state. 

The structural interpretation of the principal quantum number of nucleonic orbital wave functions and the structural basis provided by the close-packed-spheron theory for the neutron and proton magic numbers are discussed in notes submitted to Phys. Rev. Letters and Nature (L. Pauling, 1965). 

The wave functions for the two inner-core spherons can, of course, be described as the symmetric and antisymmetric combinations of l.t and Ip-functions. The Nilsson (19) treatment of neutron and proton orbitals in deformed nuclei is completely compatible with the foregoing discussion, which provides a structural interpretation of it. 

Electron Nuclear Dynamics (48) departs from a variational form where the state vector is both explicitly and implicitly time-dependent. A coherent state formulation for electron and nuclear motion is given and the relevant parameters are determined as functions of time from the Euler equations that define the stationary point of the functional. Yngve and his group have currently implemented the method for a determinantal electronic wave function and products of wave packets for the nuclei in the limit of zero width, a "classical" limit. Results are coming forth protons on methane (49), diatoms in laser fields (50), protons on water (51), and charge transfer (52) between oxygen and protons. 

Thus, overcoming the activation barrier is performed here by fluctuation of the solvent polarization to the transitional configuration P, whereas electron-proton transmission coefficient is determined by the overlap of the electron-proton wave-functions of the initial and final states. 

As pointed out in Section 7.2, electrons, protons, and neutrons have spin f. Therefore, a system of N electrons, or N protons, or N neutrons possesses an antisymmetric wave function. A symmetric wave function is not allowed. Nuclei of " He and atoms of " He have spin 0, while photons and nuclei have spin 1. Accordingly, these particles possess symmetric wave functions, never antisymmetric wave functions. If a system is composed of several kinds of particles, then its wave function must be separately symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to each type of particle. For example, the wave function for... 

The behavior of a multi-particle system with a symmetric wave function differs markedly from the behavior of a system with an antisymmetric wave function. Particles with integral spin and therefore symmetric wave functions satisfy Bose-Einstein statistics and are called bosons, while particles with antisymmetric wave functions satisfy Fermi-Dirac statistics and are called fermions. Systems of " He atoms (helium-4) and of He atoms (helium-3) provide an excellent illustration. The " He atom is a boson with spin 0 because the spins of the two protons and the two neutrons in the nucleus and of the two electrons are paired. The He atom is a fermion with spin because the single neutron in the nucleus is unpaired. Because these two atoms obey different statistics, the thermodynamic and other macroscopic properties of liquid helium-4 and liquid helium-3 are dramatically different. 

Larger values of the transmission coefficient, k, due to improved overlapping of the wave functions of quantum particles (electrons, protons, etc.). 

Using the wave functions of the harmonic oscillator in each potential well of the proton, we can estimate the total effect of the inertia on the transition probability in the high-temperature approximation for the medium67 ... 

The two wave functions are now interpreted as (ip1)2 — probability density of the proton... 

Solutions to the Schrodinger equation Hcj) = E(f> are the molecular wave functions 0, that describe the entangled motion of the three particles such that (j) 4> represents the density of protons and electron as a joint probability without any suggestion of structure. Any other molecular problem, irrespective of complexity can also be developed to this point. No further progress is possible unless electronic and nuclear variables are separated via the adiabatic simplification. In the case of Hj that means clamping the nuclei at a distance R apart to generate a Schrodinger equation for electronic motion only, in atomic units,... 

The Hamiltonian for two electrons in the field of two fixed protons is given by (39). For large values of rab the system reasonably corresponds to two H atoms. The wave functions of the degenerate system are ipi = ui5a(l)ui 6(2) and ip2 = UiSt(l)u1Sa(2), where ul5o(l) is the hydrogenic wave function for electron 1 about nucleus A, etc. For smaller values of rab a linear combination of the two product functions is a reasonable variational trial function, i.e. 1p = 1pl +... 

The effect of thermal pion fluctuations on the specific heat and the neutrino emissivity of neutron stars was discussed in [27, 28] together with other in-medium effects, see also reviews [29, 30], Neutron pair breaking and formation (PBF) neutrino process on the neutral current was studied in [31, 32] for the hadron matter. Also ref. [32] added the proton PBF process in the hadron matter and correlation processes, and ref. [33] included quark PBF processes in quark matter. PBF processes were studied by two different methods with the help of Bogolubov transformation for the fermion wave function [31, 33] and within Schwinger-Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh formalism for nonequilibrium normal and anomalous fermion Green functions [32, 28, 29],... 

After the wave functions for all 23 ( = 0,..., 22) states were generated, we calculated the expectation values of the internuclear d-p distance, (ri), the deuteron-electron (d-e) distance, (ra), and the proton-electron (p-e) distance, (i ll), for each state. The expectation values of the squares of the distances were also computed. 

The weights of the covalent and ionic solutions in the MCSCF-MI wave function are strongly dependent upon the H-Cl distance. When such distance is close to its value in isolated hydrogen chloride, the covalent solution weighs more than the ionic one. The opposite trend is observed when the H-Cl distance is such as to justify a picture where the proton is transferred to the base. In all cases, the covalent function turned out more important, with the ionic structure much less stable. This result concerning the NH3 -I- HCl system has been recently confirmed by dementi et al. [23] for the complex in the gas phase.
