Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin State Overview01:03

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin State Overview

1.9K
NMR-active nuclei have energy levels called 'spin states' that are associated with the orientations of their nuclear magnetic moments. In the absence of a magnetic field, the nuclear magnetic moments are randomly oriented, and the spin states are degenerate. When an external magnetic field is applied, the spin states have only 2 + 1 orientations available to them. A proton with = ½ has two available orientations. Similarly, for a quadrupolar nucleus with a nuclear spin value of one, the...

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

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...

The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information:

Electronic Structure of Atoms

21.5K

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...

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Relaxation Processes

1.1K
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Neural quantum states (NQS) offer flexible wave function parametrization. A new NQS-selected configuration (NQS-SC) method outperforms NQS-variational Monte Carlo (NQS-VMC) for electronic structure calculations, especially for static correlation.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum chemistry
  • Computational physics
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Neural quantum states (NQS) are powerful for strongly correlated systems.
  • Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) is the standard but has limitations for electronic Hamiltonians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Compare NQS-VMC and NQS-selected configuration (NQS-SC) for electronic ground states.
  • Assess efficiency and accuracy in capturing static and dynamical correlation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic comparison of NQS-VMC and NQS-SC.
  • Ground-state optimization for molecular systems.
  • Analysis of energy accuracy and wave function coefficients.

Main Results:

  • NQS-SC shows superior energy accuracy and wave function coefficients compared to NQS-VMC.
  • NQS-SC excels for molecules with static correlation.
  • NQS-SC demonstrates systematic improvability, unlike NQS-VMC.

Conclusions:

  • NQS-SC is recommended as the new default over NQS-VMC for electronic structure calculations.
  • Neither method efficiently captures dynamical correlation, indicating a need for hybrid approaches.
