Appendix a Mathematical Operations Appendix A Mathematical Operations This appendix presents a number of mathematical techniques and equations for the convenience of the reader. Although we have attempted to sum­ marize accurately some of the most useful relations, we make no attempt at rigor. A bibliography is included at the end of this appendix. A-1 COMPLEX NUMBERS A complex quantity may be represented as follows: u = x + iy = re+i<l> (A-I) where i 2 = -1, x, y, r, and cp are real numbers and ei<l> = cos cp + i sin cpo One refers to x and y as the real and the imaginary components, respectively of u, whereas r is the absolute magnitude of u, that is, r = lui. cp is called the phase angle. The complex conjugate of u, viz., u*, is obtained by changing the sign of i wherever it appears; that is, u* = x - iy. The relation between complex numbers and their conjugates is clarified by representing them as points in the "complex plane" (Argand diagram, see Fig. A-I). The abscissa is chosen to represent the real axis (x), and the ordinate the imaginary axis 391 392 ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE Imaginary axis u iy ~E2---------t-- Real axis u' Fig. A-l Representation of a point u and of its complex conjugate u* in complex space (Argand diagram). (y). Note that the real component of u is equal to one-half the sum of u and u*; the product of u and its complex conjugate is the square of the absolute magnitude, that is, (A-2) A-2 OPERATOR ALGEBRA A-2a. Properties of operators An operator A is a symbolic instruction to carry out a stipulated mathematical operation upon some function which is called an operand. Unless its form is explicitly indicated, an operator will be designated by a circumflex. One of the simplest operators is a constant multiplier; for example, ka = ka. An operator n is said to be linear if the result of operation upon a sum of functions is the same as that obtained by operating on each function separately; i.e., if na = {3, then (A-3) Also, if e is a constant, n(ca) = ena = e{3 (A-4) If ai = !(qi) , then a/aqi is a linear operator. An example of a nonlinear operator is "Y". The reader will be familiar with such operators as the summation operator ~ n 2: ai == a1 + a2 + a3 + . + an (A-5) i=1 Its use permits a concise representation of a series. Frequently one wishes to summarize a set of equations with constant coefficients such as MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS 393 t/h = C11 c/>1 + c 12c/>2 + c 13c/>3 + t/12 = C21 c/>1 + C22c/>2 + C23c/>3 + t/13 = C31 c/>1 + C32c/>2 + C33 c/>3 + + C3nc/>n (A-6) The sum of the t/1j can be represented by a double summation, viz., L t/1j = L L Cjkc/>k (A-7) j j k Here one encounters a juxtaposition of two operators, which in the general case are represented as Aii. It is understood that AB implies operation first with B and then with A. Interchange of order of the operators may give a different result; for example, but If AB = BA, then A and B are said to be commuting operators. The dif­ ference A B - BA is called the commutator of A and B. It is represented by the symbol [A ,B] == (AB - BA). The magnitude of the commutator of two operators is of profound significance in quantum-mechanical systems. The commutators of angular-momentum operators will be treated in Appendix B. An operator fl is said to be hermitian if it obeys the following relation: (A-8) A useful aspect of the hermitian property is that (with care!) one may operate "backwards," i.e., to the left, when the operator occurs between two operands, as in Eq. (A-8). An example of operation to the left is found in Sec. B-4. Hermitian operators have the important property that if the result Table A-l Classical and quantum-mechanical dynamical variables Dynamical variable Classical quantity Quantum-mechanical operator Position q q Time t dq , ... d Linear momentum pq= m dt Pq=-/l, dq Pd> = r x p:j: Pd> = r x P Angular momentum P",= (xPy - ypx) pd>z=-ili (x :y - y :J = -iii a~ § 2 2 2 1f Kinetic energy T= Po" :!f=-!L.=--, P -h a associated with 2m 2m 2m aq2 coordinate q Potential energy V(q) V(q) :j: The evaluation of vector products is described in Sec.

(See Sec. A-2b.) Some of the most important operators of quantum mechanics are those associated with observable properties of a physical system, i.e., the "dy­ namical variables." A few important linear operators are listed in Table A-I. Some of these operators are identical with the variable itself, whereas others involve derivatives. A-2b. Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions If the result of the application of an operator A to a function I/In is Al/ln = A.nl/ln (A-9) where A.n is a constant, then I/In is said to be an eigenfunction of A with eigenvalue A.n- (The set of functions I/In is often called a "basis set. ") The spin functions I/Ia and 1/1/3 introduced in Sec. 1-5 are examples of eigenfunc­ tions, in this case of the operator Sz; that is, Szl/la = +tl/la (A-lOa) Szl/l/3 = -tl/l/3 (A-lOb) (Angular momentum operator expressions are considered in detail in Sec. B-4.) A given set of eigenfunctions I/In may simultaneously be eigenfunctions of several operators. Operators having the same set of eigenfunctions have the very useful property that the operators must commute. In the case of the particle in a ring considered in Sec. 1-3, the wave functions 1/1 are eigen­ functions both of the angular-momentum operator PcP and of the hamiltonian operator:fr. The eigenvalue equations are (A-II) and Schrodinger equation (A-12) Table A-I gives PcP = -ih d/d~, where ~ measures the angular position ofthe particle. The kinetic energy of a classical particle having an angular mo­ mentum PcP and moment of inertia 1 is 2 W=PcP (A-13) 21 The quantum-mechanical operator for a system with V = 0 is ~ _ PcP2 _ (-ih)2 d 2 _ -h2 d2 flt - 2i - 2I d~2 - 2T d~2 (A-14) Substitution of:fr from Eq. (A-14) into (A-12) gives MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS 395 (A-I5) Rearranging, 2 d 1/1 = -21WI/1 = -M2./. (A-I6) d1J2 1i2 'I' Here the constant 21W/1i2 has been set equal to M2. Two solutions of (A-16) are (A-17a) and 1/12 = A e-iMe/> (A-I7b) as is evident by substitution. From the requirement that the functions 1/1 be normalized, i.e., that J:7T 1/1*1/1 d1J = 1 (A-IS) one finds that A = (27T)-!. Hence 1/11 = (27T) -!eiMe/> (A-I9a) and 1/12 = (27T)-!e-iM e/> (A-I9b) Insertion of 1/11 into Eq. (A-I2) gives -1i2 d 2 (_1_ iMe/» _M21i2 (_1_ iMe/» 21 d1J2 Y2ii e - 21 Y2ii e (A-20) Hence, the eigenvalue W of the operator it, corresponding to the eigenfunc­ tion 1/11, is M21i2/2/. Use of 1/12 gives an identical energy value. Operation by Pe/> on 1/11 and 1/12 leads to the following equations: -iii ~ (_1_ eiMe/» = Mli (_1_ eiMe/» (A-2Ia) d1J Y2ii Y2ii -iii ~ (vk e-iMe/» = - Mli ( vk e-iMe/» (A-2Ib) Hence, the eigenvalues of Pe/>' corresponding to the eigenfunctions 1/1] and 1/12, are +MIi and -MIi, respectively. The wave functions can be eliminated from Eq. (A-20) or (A-2I) by multiplication on the left by the corresponding complex conjugate function 1/1* followed by integration. This yields expressions for the energy and for the angular momentum of a particle moving in a circle. [See Eq. (1-21) and Prob. A-3.] 396 ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE A-3 DETERMINANTS A determinant is a scalar quantity which represents a linear combination of products of terms. It may be represented by a square array, for example (A-22a) Determinants are denoted in this book by boldface type enclosed by vertical lines. More generally a determinant of order k is represented as (A-22b) A determinant may be expanded by the "method of minors." The minor of any element aij is the determinant remaining after the row and column con­ taining the element au are removed. The expansion is carried out by mul­ tiplying the elements of a specific row or column by their corresponding minors as follows: IAkl = 2: (-l)(i+j) au IA"-llu (A-23) iorj Here IA"-llu is the minor corresponding to the element aij' For a determinant of order 3 this expansion may be carried out as follows: all a l2 a21 a22 a31 a32 = alla22a33 - alla23a32 - al2a2la33 + al2a23a31 + a l 3a 21 a32 - al3a22a31 (A-24a) Here the elements of the first row have been used. One could equally well have used the elements of any other row or column. The method of minors is a valuable technique for stepwise reduction of the order of a determinant.

  • Review Sheet on Determining Term Symbols
    Review Sheet on Determining Term Symbols Term symbols for electronic configurations are useful not only to the spectroscopist but also to the inorganic chemist interested in understanding electronic and magnetic properties of molecules. We will concentrate on the method of Douglas and McDaniel (p. 26ff); however, you may find other treatments equal or superior to the D & M method. Term symbols are a shorthand method used to describe the energy, angular momentum, and spin multiplicity of an atom in any particular state. The general form is a given as Tj where T is a capital letter corresponding to the value of L (the angular momentum quantum number) and may be assigned as S, P, D, F, G, … for |L| = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … respectively. The superscript “a” is called the spin multiplicity and can be evaluated as a = 2S +1 where S is the spin quantum number. The subscript “j” is the numerical value of J, a new quantum number defined as: J = l +S, which corresponds to the total orbital and spin angular momentum of the system. The term symbol 3P is read as triplet – Pee state and indicates that there are two unpaired electrons in a state with maximum orbital angular momentum, L=1. The number of microstates (N) of a system corresponds to the total number of distinct arrangements for “e” number of electrons to be placed in “n” number of possible orbital positions. N = # of microstates = n!/(e!(n-e)!) For a set of p orbitals n = 6 since there are 2 positions in each orbital.

  • States of Oxygen Liquid and Singlet Oxygen Photodynamic Therapy
    Oxygen States of Oxygen As far as allotropes go, oxygen as an element is fairly uninteresting, with ozone (O3, closed-shell and C2v symmetric like SO2) and O2 being the stable molecular forms. Most of our attention today will be devoted to the O2 molecule that is so critically connected with life on Earth. 2 2 2 4 2 O2 has the following valence electron configuration: (1σg) (1σu) (2σg) (1πu) (1πg) . It is be- cause of the presence of only two electrons in the two π* orbitals labelled 1πg that oxygen is paramagnetic with a triplet (the spin multiplicity \triplet" is given by 2S+1; here S, the total spin quantum number, is 0.5 + 0.5 = 1). There are six possible ways to arrange the two electrons in the two degenerate π* orbitals. These different ways of arranging the electrons in the open shell are called \microstates". Further, because there are six microstates, we can say that the total degeneracy of the electronic states 2 3 − arising from (1πg) configuration must be equal to six. The ground state of O2 is labeled Σg , the left superscript 3 indicating that this is a triplet state. It is singly degenerate orbitally and triply degenerate in terms of spin multiplicity; the total degeneracy (three for the ground state) is given by the spin times the orbital degeneracy. 1 The first excited state of O2 is labeled ∆g, and this has a spin degeneracy of one and an orbital degeneracy of two for a total degeneracy of two. This state corresponds to spin pairing of the electrons in the same π* orbital.

  • Eigenvalue Perturbation Theory of Structured Real Matrices and Their Sign Characteristics Under Generic Structured Rank-One Perturbations∗
    Eigenvalue perturbation theory of structured real matrices and their sign characteristics under generic structured rank-one perturbations∗ Christian Mehlx Volker Mehrmannx Andr´eC. M. Ran{ Leiba Rodmank July 9, 2014 Abstract An eigenvalue perturbation theory under rank-one perturbations is developed for classes of real matrices that are symmetric with respect to a non-degenerate bilinear form, or Hamiltonian with respect to a non-degenerate skew-symmetric form. In contrast to the case of complex matrices, the sign characteristic is a cru- cial feature of matrices in these classes. The behavior of the sign characteristic under generic rank-one perturbations is analyzed in each of these two classes of matrices. Partial results are presented, but some questions remain open. Appli- cations include boundedness and robust boundedness for solutions of structured systems of linear differential equations with respect to general perturbations as well as with respect to structured rank perturbations of the coefficients. Key Words: real J-Hamiltonian matrices, real H-symmetric matrices, indefinite inner product, perturbation analysis, generic perturbation, rank-one perturbation, T - even matrix polynomial, symmetric matrix polynomial, bounded solution of differential equations, robustly bounded solution of differential equations, invariant Lagrangian subspaces.

  • The Chemistry of Carbene-Stabilized
    THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBENE-STABILIZED MAIN GROUP DIATOMIC ALLOTROPES by MARIHAM ABRAHAM (Under the Direction of Gregory H. Robinson) ABSTRACT The syntheses and molecular structures of carbene-stabilized arsenic derivatives of 1 1 i 1 1 AsCl3 (L :AsCl3 (1); L : = :C{N(2,6- Pr2C6H3)CH}2), and As2 (L :As–As:L (2)), are presented herein. The potassium graphite reduction of 1 afforded the carbene-stabilized diarsenic complex, 2. Notably, compound 2 is the first Lewis base stabilized diatomic molecule of the Group 13–15 elements, in the formal oxidation state of zero, in the fourth period or lower of the Periodic Table. Compound 2 contains one As–As σ-bond and two lone pairs of electrons on each arsenic atom. In an effort to study the chemistry of the electron-rich compound 2, it was combined with an electron-deficient Lewis acid, GaCl3. The addition of two equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in one-electron oxidation of 2 to 1 1 •+ – •+ – give [L :As As:L ] [GaCl4] (6 [GaCl4] ). Conversely, the addition of four equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in two- electron oxidation of 2 to give 1 1 2+ – 2+ – •+ [L :As=As:L ] [GaCl4 ]2 (6 [GaCl4 ]2). Strikingly, 6 represents the first arsenic radical to be structurally characterized in the solid state. The research project also explored the reactivity of carbene-stabilized disilicon, (L1:Si=Si:L1 (7)), with borane. The reaction of 7 with BH3·THF afforded two unique compounds: one containing a parent silylene (:SiH2) unit (8), and another containing a three-membered silylene ring (9).

  • Hamiltonian Matrix Representations for the Determination of Approximate Wave Functions for Molecular Resonances
    Journal of Applied and Fundamental Sciences HAMILTONIAN MATRIX REPRESENTATIONS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF APPROXIMATE WAVE FUNCTIONS FOR MOLECULAR RESONANCES Robert J. Buenker Fachbereich C-Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Gaussstr. 20, D-42097 Wuppertal, Germany *For correspondence. ([email protected]) Abstract: Wave functions obtained using a standard complex Hamiltonian matrix diagonalization procedure are square integrable and therefore constitute only approximations to the corresponding resonance solutions of the Schrödinger equation. The nature of this approximation is investigated by means of explicit calculations using the above method which employ accurate diabatic potentials of the B 1Σ+ - D’ 1Σ+ vibronic resonance states of the CO molecule. It is shown that expanding the basis of complex harmonic oscillator functions gradually improves the description of the exact resonance wave functions out to ever larger internuclear distances before they take on their unwanted bound-state characteristics. The justification of the above matrix method has been based on a theorem that states that the eigenvalues of a complex-scaled Hamiltonian H (ReiΘ) are associated with the energy position and linewidth of resonance states (R is an internuclear coordinate and Θ is a real number). It is well known, however, that the results of the approximate method can be obtained directly using the unscaled Hamiltonian H (R) in real coordinates provided a particular rule is followed for the evaluation of the corresponding matrix elements. It is shown that the latter rule can itself be justified by carrying out the complex diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in real space via a product of two transformation matrices, one of which is unitary and the other is complex orthogonal, in which case only the symmetric scalar product is actually used in the evaluation of all matrix elements.

  • Mathematical Physics-14-Eigenvalue Problems.Nb
    Eigenvalue problems Main idea and formulation in the linear algebra The word "eigenvalue" stems from the German word "Eigenwert" that can be translated into English as "Its own value" or "Inherent value". This is a value of a parameter in the equation or system of equations for which this equation has a nontriv- ial (nonzero) solution. Mathematically, the simplest formulation of the eigenvalue problem is in the linear algebra. For a given square matrix A one has to find such values of l, for which the equation (actually the system of linear equations) A.X λX (1) has a nontrivial solution for a vector (column) X. Moving the right part to the left, one obtains the equation A − λI .X 0, H L where I is the identity matrix having all diagonal elements one and nondiagonal elements zero. This matrix equation has nontrivial solutions only if its determinant is zero, Det A − λI 0. @ D This is equivalent to a Nth order algebraic equation for l, where N is the rank of the mathrix A. Thus there are N different eigenvalues ln (that can be complex), for which one can find the corresponding eigenvectors Xn. Eigenvectors are defined up to an arbitrary numerical factor, so that usually they are normalized by requiring T∗ Xn .Xn 1, where X T* is the row transposed and complex conjugate to the column X. It can be proven that eigenvectors that belong to different eigenvalues are orthogonal, so that, more generally than above, one has T∗ Xm .Xn δmn . Here dmn is the Kronecker symbol, 1, m n δ = mn µ 0, m ≠ n.
