Van der Waals Equation01:10

Van der Waals Equation

3.9K
The ideal gas law is an approximation that works well at high temperatures and low pressures. The van der Waals equation of state (named after the Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals, 1837−1923) improves it by considering two factors.
First, the attractive forces between molecules, which are stronger at higher densities and reduce the pressure, are considered by adding to the pressure a term equal to the square of the molar density multiplied by a positive coefficient a. Second, the...

Adiabatic Processes for an Ideal Gas

3.0K
When an ideal gas is compressed adiabatically, that is, without adding heat, work is done on it, and its temperature increases. In an adiabatic expansion, the gas does work, and its temperature drops. Adiabatic compressions actually occur in the cylinders of a car, where the compressions of the gas-air mixture take place so quickly that there is no time for the mixture to exchange heat with its environment. Nevertheless, because work is done on the mixture during the compression, its...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

46.0K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Computational Materials Science
  • Theoretical Physics

Background:

  • Accurate description of electron correlation is crucial for predicting molecular and material properties.
  • Existing methods like Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) have limitations, particularly in strong interaction regimes.
  • Nonempirical functionals offer a systematic way to improve upon approximate methods without empirical fitting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel nonempirical correlation functional based on the adiabatic connection formalism.
  • To ensure the functional satisfies both weak and strong interaction limits and accurately models the uniform electron gas.
  • To generalize post-Hartree-Fock (HF) methods with nonlinear contributions and strong correlation ingredients.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed a correlation functional rooted in the Møller-Plesset (MP) adiabatic connection (AC) formalism.
  • Utilized Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals and employed the uniform electron gas (UEG) and helium atom as model systems.
  • Generalized second-order perturbation theory (MP2) correlation with nonlinear contributions.

Main Results:

  • The developed functional accurately describes electron correlation in atoms with 1 mHa/electron accuracy.
  • Achieved accuracy for jellium surface energies and corrected MP2 overbinding without error cancellation.
  • Demonstrated excellent performance across diverse systems and properties, including atomization/interaction energies and ionization potentials.

Conclusions:

  • The nonempirical strategy provides a robust and accurate method for calculating electron correlation.
  • The functional represents a significant advancement over standard post-HF methods, particularly MP2.
  • This work paves the way for a new generation of density functionals incorporating nonlinear MP2 and strong correlation effects.
