Was Pauling Mistaken about Metals?

Pauling described metallic bonds using resonance. The maximum probability domains in the Kronig–Penney model can show a picture of it. When the walls are opaque (and the band gap is large) the maximum probability domain for an electron pair essentially corresponds to the region between the walls: the electron pairs are localized within two consecutive walls. However, when the walls become transparent (and the band gaps closes), the maximum probability domain can be moved through the system without a significant loss in probability.     

Electron-ion geminate escape probability in anisotropic media

The diffusion-controlled electron-hole geminate escape probability in anisotropic media has been calculated by numerical solution of the adjoint equation for that probability after a series of simplifying transformations. Relative to the crystalline axes the anisotropies of both dielectric constant and mobility, which generally have different principal directions, are important. The escape probability depends on the magnitude and direction of the initial electron-hole separation. Applied to anthracene the implied experimental escape probability ≈0.01 is attained at initial separations 4.0, 4.0 and 3.2 nm along the a, b, c′ crystal directions respectively.     

The chemical potential for dilute hard-sphere mixtures

Accurate Monte Carlo evaluation of the probability of inserting an additional particle of arbitrary size into a hard-sphere fluid at various densities allows a quantitative check on the scaled particle interpolation formula for this probability, which is rigorously known when the added particle is either very small or very large. The simple scaled particle formula is remarkably accurate due to a favorable choice of the functional dependence of the surface tension on curvature. The biggest deviation occurs at liquid-like densities where the insertion probability is about 20% larger for larger particles, indicating a larger probability of occurrence of larger density fluctuations, and resulting in a smaller (3%) excess chemical potential than the simple theory predicts. On the other hand, at lower densities the insertion probability for large particles is slightly smaller than the theory predicts.     

Computer simulation on electron scavenging in irradiated hydrocarbon liquids

A Monte Carlo simulation method is applied to the calculations of the electron scavenging probability in irradiated hydrocarbon liquids. The simulation runs are carried out for different types of ionization clusters that form a high-energy electron track. The total scavenging probability is calculated by averaging the individual scavenging rates over the distribution of all types of structures that form the track. The scavenging probability for the track is lower by 20–30% than the probability calculated on the basis of the independent pair theory. The decrease is caused by the scavenger depletion in the multi-pair ionization clusters.     

A discussion on an apparent MO theory paradox

A discussion on an apparent MO theory paradox, concerning the probability of positioning a particle within a nodal plane, is carried out in terms of particle confinement probability within finite thickness slabs encompassing the plane in question. It is also discussed how using extended wave functions, the joint position plus kinetic resultant probability distribution, just fulfilling the uncertainty principle, produces a compensating effect on the particle probability of sharing position or momentum within the two half‐spaces delimited by the considered nodal plane. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Extensions to the likelihood maximization approach for finding reaction coordinates

This paper extends our previous work on obtaining reaction coordinates from aimless shooting and likelihood maximization. We introduce a simplified version of aimless shooting and a half-trajectory likelihood score based on the committor probability. Additionally, we analyze and compare the absolute log-likelihood score for perfect and approximate reaction coordinates. We also compare the aimless shooting and likelihood maximization approach to the earlier genetic neural network (GNN) approach of Ma and Dinner [J. Phys. Chem. B 109, 6769 (2005)]. For a fixed number of total trajectories in the GNN approach, the accuracy of the transition state ensemble decreases as the number of trajectories per committor probability estimate increases. This quantitatively demonstrates the benefit of individual committor probability realizations over committor probability estimates. Furthermore, when the least squares score of the GNN approach is applied to individual committor probability realizations, the likelihood score still provides a better approximation to the true transition state surface. Finally, the polymorph transition in terephthalic acid demonstrates that the new half-trajectory likelihood scheme estimates the transition state location more accurately than likelihood schemes based on the probability of being on a transition path.     

Quantum dynamics calculation of reaction probability for H + Cl2 → HCl + Cl

We present in this paper a time-dependent quantum wave packet calculation of the initial state selected reaction probability for H + Cl₂ based on the GHNS potential energy surface with total angular momentumJ = 0. The effects of the translational, vibrational and rotational excitation of Cl₂ on the reaction probability have been investigated. In a broad region of the translational energy, the rotational excitation enhances the reaction probability while the vibrational excitation depresses the reaction probability. The theoretical results agree well with the fact that it is an early down-hill reaction.
