Zero angular momentum

Any particle with charge Q, mass m and non-zero angular momentum 1 is a magnetic dipole. 

The transition from Fig. 25a to Fig. 25b is analogous to that from Fig. 14b to Fig. 14c, in the sense that the critical point X has become isolated, and there is also a very close similarity with Fig. 1 a, because the critical points in the two diagrams are both symmetrical about the zero angular momentum line. The only qualitative difference is that Fig. 25b is bounded by an upper relative equilibrium line, because any polyad contains only a finite number of eigenvalues. 

Last but not least, it must be further investigated whether light manifests itself differently under different conditions. One of these manifestations is represented by an axisymmetric solution of the present theory, which has the nonzero angular momentum of a boson particle. Another is represented by a plane-polarized wave having zero angular momentum. 

Fig. 2.5. Classical and quantum calculation of the scattering of H2 by Hg in the idealization where both systems are considered to have zero angular momentum. In actuality, the undulations will be partly washed out by effects associated with the rotation of the molecule, the spin of the protons, and the energy spread in the monoenergetic beam after [30],...

A pseudo potential approach was adopted by Hickman et al. [259] to calculate the excited metastable states of a He atom under liquid He. The density functional approach developed by Dupont-Roc et al. [260] was applied subsequently [261] for the description of the nature of the cavity formed around an alkali atom in the excited state of non-zero angular momentum. The resulting form of the cavity differs very much from the spherical shape. A similar approach was adopted by De Toffol et al. [262] to find qualitatively the first excited states of Na and Cs in liquid He. Earlier work in this direction was given in detail in Ref. [263]. 

Circular orbits are defined by n = 0. The principal quantum number specifies energy shells. For n = 1 the only solution is n = 0, k = 1, which specifies two orbits with angular momentum vectors in opposite directions. The solutions n = 0, k = 2 and n = 1, k = 1 define 8 possible orbits, 4 circular and 4 elliptic. The angular momentum vectors of each set are directed in four tetrahedral directions to define zero angular momentum when fully occupied. Taken together, these tetrahedra define a cubic arrangement, closely related to the Lewis model for the Ne atom. 

Theoretical chemistry reached its pinnacle during the Sommerfeld era, before the advent of wave mechanics. The theoretically superior new theory, although it eliminated the paradoxes of zero angular momentum of the hydrogen ground-state, the orbital motion in helium and the nature of stationary states, it defined the periodic table less well and confused the simple picture of chemical bonding. Theoretical chemistry still suffers from that body blow. 

We can discuss internal rotation by considering a molecule represented by two parallel discs rotating on a fixed axis (no end-to-end rotation). Let 61 and d2 be the angles of rotation of the discs with respect to a laboratory fixed origin. Since there is zero angular momentum associated with an internal rotation... 

Although it is impossible to formulate a definition of molecular geometry that is fully quanturn-mechanical in nature and at the same time universally applicable to all chemical species, topological analysis of the electron density leads to a rigorous statement of the dominant molecular structure for any state, spectroscopic or localized, stationary or time dependent, with zero angular momentum. In this sense, unlike geometry or shape, structure is an observable property of an isolated molecule. 

Covalent bonding depends on the presence of two atomic receptor sites. When the electron reaches one of these sites its behaviour, while in the vicinity of the atom, is described by an atomic wave function, such as the ip(ls), (l = 0), ground-state function of the H atom. Where two s-type wave functions serve to swap the valence electron the interaction is categorized as of a type. The participating wave functions could also be of p, (l = 1), or d, (/ = 2) character to form 7r or 6 bonds respectively. The quantum number l specifies the orbital angular momentum of the valence electron. A common assumption in bonding theory is that a valence electron with zero angular momentum can be accommodated in a p or d state if a suitable s-state is not available. The reverse situation is not allowed. 

Of the twelve valence electrons four have non-zero angular momentum (l = 1) of L = /2h. For two of these, with mi = 0 the z-component Lz = 0 and to ensure overall quenching the remaining two electrons should have... 

Dynamics of Three Identical Atoms, Zero Angular Momentum... 

Hamiltonians adapted to zero and nonzero configurations have been known for long [60,61]. In the case of zero angular momentum, they are particularly simple, once the relevant hyperspherical coordinates have been defined. In order not to burden the reader with unnecessary complications, all definitions are taken from [58,61] and not repeated here. 

The next step consists in studying the stability. The Hamiltonian at zero angular momentum, incorporating all possible reductions, may be written in many different ways [18]. We use the following expression, which is generalizable to J 0 [61] ... 

III. COULOMB THREE-BODY PROBLEM THE 2D CASE WITH ZERO ANGULAR MOMENTUM... 

Property 1. Triple collision orbits have zero angular momentum. 

Thus if we consider the case that the orbit exhibits triple collision, the system should have zero angular momentum. In addition, if the system has zero angular momentum, the orbit is confined in the 2D plane. So we have to consider the 2D case with zero angular momentum. There are three distinct configurations ... 

Since we are interested in the case with zero total angular momentum, we have chosen such initial conditions for three particles. However, the phase space of the entire initial conditions is too big— in fact, infinite. Therefore, for numerical investigation, we have to restrict the initial conditions to some subspace of the entire initial conditions. If three particles have zero velocity at some moment, then the orbit associated to this initial condition has zero angular momentum, since L = i Qi Pi- Thus we consider the initial conditions with zero velocities of three particles at time zero. These are just the initial conditions of the free-fall. So this problem is sometimes called the free-fall problem. The free-fall problem in gravitational three-body problem was well investigated [35-38]. 

In this chapter, we presented the geometry of the orbits near triple collisions in the Coulomb three-body problem for the collinear eZe configuration and the 2D case with zero angular momentum.
