The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

56.7K
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.

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

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.

Atomic Orbitals

43.3K
An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

26.5K
An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Bewley Lattice Diagram

1.5K
The Bewley lattice diagram, developed by L. V. Bewley, effectively organizes the reflections occurring during transmission-line transients. It visually represents how voltage waves propagate and reflect within a transmission line, making it easier to understand the complex interactions that occur.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Quantum synchronization in trapped atoms is achieved through staggered local dissipation in a dimer lattice. This quantum phenomenon is enhanced by spin detuning and lattice inhomogeneity, revealing distinct synchronization regimes.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum physics
  • Atomic physics
  • Condensed matter physics

Background:

  • Recent reports show quantum synchronization at the atomic level driven by collective dissipation.
  • Existing models often rely on collective dissipation for synchronization phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and investigate quantum synchronization in a novel dissipative spin model using trapped atoms.
  • To explore synchronization mechanisms driven by local dissipation rather than collective dissipation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a dimer lattice of trapped atoms to realize a dissipative spin model.
  • Introduced inhomogeneous staggered local losses within the lattice.
  • Employed a comprehensive approach using multiple established measures for quantum synchronization.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated quantum synchronization occurring due to local dissipation in the proposed model.
  • Showed that lattice inhomogeneity, specifically staggered local losses, enables atom synchronization.
  • Identified that increasing spin detuning favors the observed synchronization.

Conclusions:

  • Quantum synchronization can be achieved through local dissipation in engineered atomic systems.
  • The proposed dimer lattice model provides a new platform for studying quantum synchronization.
  • The findings offer insights into controlling and understanding different quantum synchronization regimes.
