It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

59.7K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate

701
Aggregate shape is classified based on the relative sharpness or roundness of the edges and corners. This classification includes categories like rounded, angular, elongated, and flaky, each with specific characteristics. Rounded aggregates, fully shaped by attrition, are typical of river or seashore gravel, while angular aggregates, such as crushed rock, have well-defined edges. Aggregates that are elongated and flaky are less desirable, as they can reduce the workability and strength of...

Band Theory02:35

Band Theory

17.3K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Physics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Statistical Mechanics

Background:

  • Coarse-grained (CG) models traditionally use classical statistical mechanics.
  • Simulating molecular systems at longer scales requires advanced modeling techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop a theory and numerical methodology for coarse-graining within quantum statistical mechanics.
  • Generalize the multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) method to quantum Boltzmann statistics.
  • Establish a quantum CG (qCG) framework consistent with quantum fine-grained models.

Main Methods:

  • Rigorous derivation of thermodynamic consistency conditions using imaginary time Feynman path integrals.
  • Identification of optimal CG action functionals and effective qCG force fields.
  • Application of a variational principle, including force matching, for approximating qCG force fields.
  • Development of numerical algorithms for the quantum MS-CG (qMS-CG) method.

Main Results:

  • A generalized MS-CG method for quantum Boltzmann statistics (qMS-CG).
  • A variational approach for optimal qCG force field approximation.
  • Demonstration of the method through two numerical examples.
  • Derivation of a quasi-classical approximation for the thermal density matrix.

Conclusions:

  • The developed qMS-CG method provides a consistent description of quantum systems at coarse-grained levels.
  • The variational approach offers efficient algorithms for approximating qCG force fields.
  • The quasi-classical approximation offers physical insight into quantum coarse-graining and particle delocalization.
