review of experimental concepts for studying the quantum vacuum
... several tens of orders of magnitude greater than the energy density of matter-antimatter annihilation reactions. Even if we are constrained to integrate over all frequency modes only up to the nucleon Compton frequency (~ 1023 Hz), this energy density will still be enormous (~ 1035 J/m3). And we hav ...

An evolutionary algorithm to calculate the ground state of a quantum
... Before describing our approach we present rst a brief description of the GA. As we have mentioned before, the GA was developed to optimize (maximize or minimize) a given property, like an area, a volume or an energy. The property in question is a function of many variables of the system. In GA-lang ...

Existence of an Ericson regime in stretched helium
... Classically, the helium atom is a chaotic system with a mixed phase space @1#. This means that not all of the quantum states of the helium atom can be grouped into regular sequences of states and we should be prepared to discover new quantum dynamical regimes in the helium atom. One consequence of a ...

Introduction to Solid State Physics, 8th Edition Charles Kittel
... 7. The Madelung energy of Ba+ O– is –αe2/R0 per ion pair, or –14.61 × 10–12 erg = –9.12 eV, as compared with –4(9.12) = –36.48 eV for Ba++ O--. To form Ba+ and O– from Ba and O requires 5.19 – 1.5 = 3.7 eV; to form Ba++ and O-- requires 5.19 + 9.96 – 1.5 + 9.0 = 22.65 eV. Thus at the specified value ...

The projection onto the z axis can in that case only take two values, m = − 12 or m = 12 . We can therefore introduce a new variable, ǫ, where ǫ only can tak ...

Hydrogen atom
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the elemental (baryonic) mass of the universe.In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (usually called ""atomic hydrogen"" or, more precisely, ""monatomic hydrogen"") are extremely rare. Instead, hydrogen tends to combine with other atoms in compounds, or with itself to form ordinary (diatomic) hydrogen gas, H2. ""Atomic hydrogen"" and ""hydrogen atom"" in ordinary English use have overlapping, yet distinct, meanings. For example, a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms, but does not contain atomic hydrogen (which would refer to isolated hydrogen atoms).
