An extended Lennard-Jones potential energy function for diatomic molecules: Application to ground electronic states

A new simple analytical diatomic potential energy function that can be considered an extension of the prototypical Lennard-Jones model is proposed and tested. Five- and six-parameter models are considered and these can be easily constructed from widely available low-order vibrational-rotational constants and the dissociation energy. Accuracy tests are carried out on the ground electronic states of sixteen diatomic molecules. The proposed six-parameter function is found to be more accurate than other available few-parameter analytical models for the diatomic potential energy, and has accuracy comparable to that of modern high-level ab initio functions.     

Perturbation and variational approach for the equation of state for hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones fluids

The present work uses the concept of a scaled particle along with the perturbation and variation approach, to develop an equation of state (EOS) for a mixture of hard sphere (HS), Lennard–Jones (LJ) fluids. A suitable flexible functional form for the radial distribution function G(R) is assumed for the mixture, with R as a variable. The function G(R) has an arbitrary parameter m and a different equation of state can be obtained with a suitable choice of m. For m = 0.75 and m = 0.83 results are close to molecular dynamics (MD) result for pure HS and LJ fluid respectively.     

On the limitations of the equation of state based on the Lennard-Jones potential

It is emphasized that any equation of state (EOS) based on the generalized Lennard-Jones potential or the Mie potential, suffers from two main shortcomings as pointed out by Stacey and Davis [2]. One of the shortcomings viz. the problem related to imaginary numbers for the exponents in the potential function, has been removed recently by Jiuxun [11] by using a relationship between the exponents. However, the modified EOS obtained by Jiuxun suffers from the second shortcoming viz. it gives lower values for −B ₀ B″₀, an important equation of state parameter related to the second pressure derivative of the bulk modulus. Values of B ₀ B″₀ obtained by Jiuxun are not consistent with those reported by Stacey and Davis.

Influence of DC electric field on the Lennard-Jones potential and phonon vibrations of carbon nanotube on catalyst

Influence of DC electric field on carbon nanotube (CNT) growth in chemical vapor deposition is studied. Investigation of electric field effect in van der Waals interaction shows that increase in DC electric field raises the magnitude of attractive term of the Lennard-Jones potential. By using a theoretical model based on phonon vibrations of CNT on catalyst, it is shown that there is an optimum field for growth. Also it is observed that CNT under optimum electric field is longer than CNT in the absence of field. Finally, the relation between optimum DC electric field and type of catalyst is investigated and for some intervals of electric field, the best catalyst is introduced, which is very useful for experimental researches.

Modified hypernetted-chain equation for the ground state of Bose fluids

Summary The modified hypernetted-chain equation is used to study the ground state of Bose fluids in the Jastrow approximation. We test the equation for different forms of the pair interaction and of the Jastrow pseudopotential and in all cases the energy of⁴He is given with an error not larger than 0.1 K at all densities. The effect of a triplet term in the wavefunction is also studied.

Chemical potentials and phase equilibria of Lennard-Jones chain fluids

Computer simulations (molecular dynamics) were performed for ensembles of flexible tangent Lennard-Jones chains consisting of n sites (n = 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16). From these simulations, the orthobaric liquid and vapour densities were calculated not only with the traditional method of simulating a liquid film in coexistence with vapour, but also using the rigorous thermodynamic condition of satisfying the chemical potential equality between the phases in equilibrium. The agreement with literature data, as far as such exist, is excellent.     

Sixth,seventh and eighth virial coefficients of the Lennard-Jones model

We report values of the virial coefficients B _n of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) model, as computed by the Mayer Sampling Monte Carlo method. For n = 4 and 5, values are reported for 103 temperatures T = 0.62 to 40.0 (in LJ units); for n = 6, 31 values are reported for T = 0.625 to 20.0; for n = 7, 15 values are reported from T = 0.625 to 10; and for n = 8, four values are reported from T = 0.75 to 10. Data are used to estimate the location of the LJ critical point, and the critical temperature estimated this way is given to within 0.8% of the established value, while the critical density is too low by 10%. Data derived from the virial equation of state (VEOS) are compared to pressures and internal energies calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. Simulations of systems ranging from 125 to 30,000 particles are extrapolated to infinite system size, and it is shown that the VEOS–when applied at densities where the series has reached convergence–provides results closer to the infinite-system values than obtained by any of the finite-system simulations. For n = 6, convergence of VEOS (within a 1% tolerance) is obtained for densities up to the spinodal for subcritical temperatures and up to ρ = 0.4 (in LJ units) in the vicinity of the critical temperature; the range of applicability of VEOS increases with temperature, reaching for example densities of 0.65 for T = 5.0 and 0.8 for T = 8.0 when truncated at n = 6.

Viscosity of Lennard-Jones fluid: Integral equation method

One of the most useful models to study the real systems is the Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential which has an attractive and repulsive part. In this work we use this potential model and examine the viscosity of one-component LJ fluids and LJ binary fluid mixtures. For this purpose, we apply the integral equation method and solve numerically the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) integral equation by using the mean spherical approximation (MSA). Thus, we obtain the pair correlation functions to calculate the viscosity of these fluids. Finally, we compare our results with computer simulation results and the available experimental data and illustrate the ability of the LJ model to predict the results.     

Hartree-Fock variational bounds for ground state energy of chargeless fermions with finite magnetic moment in the presence of a hard core potential: A stable ferromagnetic state

We use different determinantal Hartree-Fock (HF) wave functions to calculate true variational upper bounds for the ground state energy of N spin-half fermions in volume V ₀, with mass m, electric charge zero, and magnetic moment μ, interacting through magnetic dipole-dipole interaction. We find that at high densities when the average interparticle distance r ₀ becomes small compared to the magnetic length r _m ≡ 2mμ²/ħ², a ferromagnetic state with spheroidal occupation function n _↑(), involving quadrupolar deformation, gives a lower upper bound compared to the variational energy for the uniform paramagnetic state or for the state with dipolar deformation. This system is unstable towards infinite density collapse, but we show explicitly that a suitable short-range repulsive (hard core) interaction of strength U ₀ and range a can stop this collapse. The existence of a stable equilibrium high density ferromagnetic state with spheroidal occupation function is possible as long as the ratio of coupling constants Γ_cm ≡ (U ₀ a ³/μ²) is not very small compared to 1.

Covalent binding parameters and the ground state wavefunctions of vanadyl ion complexes

The Steven’s method of molecular orbitals for octahedral complexes containing transition metal ions has been used for estimating the binding parameters and interpreting theg factors of VO ₂ ⁺ ion in single crystals. The expressions forg factors have been given in terms ofK _‖ andK _⊥ taking into account the tetragonal crystalline field and covalent binding effects. Computations show thatK _⊥ should be less than 0.066 in order to fit the experimentalg values. The ground state wave function (GSWF) of VO ₂ ⁺ ion doped in different single crystals has been estimated using crystal field theory. The GSWF is found to be ind _xy state with slight admixture of the excited states ,d _xz andd _yz. The hyperfine interaction parameterP and Fermi contact termX have also been estimated.
