The Van der Waals Equation01:26

The Van der Waals Equation

19
The ideal gas law is based on two simplifying assumptions: first, that there are no intermolecular attractions between gas molecules, and second, that the volume occupied by the molecules themselves is negligible compared with the volume of the container. However, these assumptions don't hold up under all conditions - specifically, at high pressures and low temperatures, as gas tends to deviate from ideal gas behavior.The van der Waals equation is an enhanced version of the ideal gas law,...

Electronic Structure of Atoms02:28

Electronic Structure of Atoms

29.4K

An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...

The Energies of Atomic Orbitals

30.5K
In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.

The de Broglie Wavelength02:32

The de Broglie Wavelength

34.0K
In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes02:46

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes

49.1K
Tetrahedral Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)01:06

Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)

1.5K
Irradiation of a spin-active nucleus causes an increase or decrease in the signal intensity of neighboring nuclei that are not necessarily chemically bonded or involved in J-coupling. This phenomenon, called the nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE), results from through-space interactions between the nuclear spins. The NOE effect decreases with increasing internuclear distance and is generally not observed beyond 4 angstroms. In NOE, dipole-dipole interactions between neighboring spin-active...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Solid-state physics
  • Quantum mechanics

Background:

  • Density functional theory (DFT) is a common method for electronic structure calculations.
  • Wavefunction-based methods offer an alternative but face the Exponential Wall (EW) problem due to the exponential increase in configurations with electron number.
  • Existing approaches like Density Matrix Embedding Theory (DMET) and Density Embedding Theory (DET) model solids as embedded fragments to circumvent the EW problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the connection between DMET/DET and a previously developed Local Ansatz.
  • To analyze the differences in how DMET/DET and the Local Ansatz resolve the EW problem.
  • To investigate these differences using a H10 ring model system.

Main Methods:

  • Characterizing many-electron wavefunctions in Liouville space with a cumulant metric.
  • Embedding an impurity or fragment in a bath treated at a lower computational level (DMET/DET).
  • Utilizing Schmidt decomposition and entanglement analysis.
  • Applying the method of increments to a H10 ring model.

Main Results:

  • DMET and DET share an identical active space with the Local Ansatz.
  • The EW problem is resolved differently in the DMET/DET approach compared to the Local Ansatz.
  • Analysis of a H10 ring reveals distinct characteristics of these methods.

Conclusions:

  • DMET and DET provide a unified framework for understanding embedded wavefunction methods.
  • The choice of method impacts how the EW problem is addressed in electronic structure calculations for solids.
  • Further investigation with the method of increments can elucidate these differences.
