Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Relaxation Processes

928
In the absence of an external magnetic field, nuclear spin states are degenerate and randomly oriented. When a magnetic field is applied, the spins begin to precess and orient themselves along (lower energy) or against (higher energy) the direction of the field. At equilibrium, a slight excess population of spins exists in the lower energy state. Because the direction of the magnetic field is fixed as the z-axis,  the precessing magnetic moments are randomly oriented around the z-axis.

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions

777
Consider an external electric field propagating through a homogeneous medium. When the electric field crosses the surface boundary of the medium, it undergoes a discontinuity. The electric field can be resolved into normal and tangential components. The amount by which the field changes at any boundary is given by the difference between the field components above and below the surface boundary.
The surface integral of an electric field is given by Gauss's law in integral form and is related to...

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics

1.6K
When an electric field passes from one homogeneous medium to another, crossing the boundary between the two mediums imparts a discontinuity in the electric field. This results in electrostatic boundary conditions that depend on the type of mediums the field propagates through.
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's permittivity....

Magnetostatic Boundary Conditions

1.4K
An electric field suffers a discontinuity at a surface charge. Similarly, a magnetic field is discontinuous at a surface current. The perpendicular component of a magnetic field is continuous across the interface of two magnetic mediums. In contrast, its parallel component, perpendicular to the current, is discontinuous by the amount equal to the product of the vacuum permeability and the surface current. Like the scalar potential in electrostatics, the vector potential is also continuous...

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

607
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum chemistry
  • Computational physics
  • Electronic structure theory

Background:

  • Quantum embedding methods utilize Schmidt decomposition of the full system wavefunction to preserve entanglement between system fragments and the bath.
  • The accuracy of these methods is sensitive to the quality of the initial full system wavefunction.
  • Current methods like bootstrap embedding (BE) typically start from restricted mean-field wavefunctions (RBE).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply an unrestricted Hartree-Fock (HF) based bootstrap embedding (UBE) method.
  • To improve quantum embedding for strongly correlated systems by leveraging spin-unrestricted wavefunctions.
  • To assess UBE's performance in modeling hydrogen ring systems and calculating electronic properties.

Main Methods:

  • Generalization of bootstrap embedding (BE) to an unrestricted Hartree-Fock (HF) bath, termed unrestricted BE (UBE).
  • Application of UBE to model hydrogen ring systems, including high spin symmetry states.
  • Computation of ionization potentials, electron affinities, and spin-splittings using UBE.

Main Results:

  • UBE successfully models high spin symmetry states, overcoming limitations of RBE.
  • UBE achieves accuracy comparable to spin-unrestricted coupled cluster singles and doubles for computed electronic properties.
  • UBE demonstrates more reliable convergence compared to RBE, even in cases where RBE is applicable.

Conclusions:

  • Unrestricted bootstrap embedding (UBE) offers significant improvements over RBE for strongly correlated systems.
  • UBE enhances the capability to study systems with high spin symmetry.
  • Future improvements to RBE and density matrix embedding theory can also benefit UBE.
