Wave function units

In an Abelian theory [for which I (r, R) in Eq. (90) is a scalar rather than a vector function, Al=l], the introduction of a gauge field g(R) means premultiplication of the wave function x(R) by exp(igR), where g(R) is a scalar. This allows the definition of a gauge -vector potential, in natural units... 

These new wave functions are eigenfunctions of the z component of the angular momentum iij = —with eigenvalues = +2,0, —2 in units of h. Thus, Eqs. (D.l 1)-(D.13) represent states in which the vibrational angular momentum of the nuclei about the molecular axis has a definite value. When beating the vibrations as harmonic, there is no reason to prefer them to any other linear combinations that can be obtained from the original basis functions in... 

Likewise, a basis set can be improved by uncontracting some of the outer basis function primitives (individual GTO orbitals). This will always lower the total energy slightly. It will improve the accuracy of chemical predictions if the primitives being uncontracted are those describing the wave function in the middle of a chemical bond. The distance from the nucleus at which a basis function has the most significant effect on the wave function is the distance at which there is a peak in the radial distribution function for that GTO primitive. The formula for a normalized radial GTO primitive in atomic units is... 

All the complete sets mentioned here are referred to a certain origin and, in an atomic application, this point may conveniently be chosen to coincide with the nucleus. In a molecular problem, this problem is more difficult one may use a single complete set as in the united atom model, or one may introduce a complete set at every nucleus or at certain suitably chosen points ( floatingpoint wave functions). If more than one complete set is intro-...

A particle, photon or electron, passing through slit A and striking the detection screen at point x has wave function a( ), while a similar particle passing through slit B has wave function b( )- Since a particle is observed to retain its identity and not divide into smaller units, its wave function ft (x) is postulated to be the sum of the two possibilities... 

Unlike the wave function, the electron density can be experimentally determined via X-ray diffraction because X-rays are scattered by electrons. A diffraction experiment yields an angular pattern of scattered X-ray beam intensities from which structure factors can be obtained after careful data processing. The structure factors F(H), where H are indices denoting a particular scattering direction, are the Fourier transform of the unit cell electron density. Therefore we can obtain p(r) experimentally via ...

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,...
