New Temperature Integral Approximate Formula for Non-isothermal Kinetic Analysis

A new approximate formula for temperature integral is proposed. The linear dependence of the new fomula on x has been established. Combining this linear dependence and integration-by-parts, new equation for the evaluation of kinetic parameters has been obtained from the above dependence. The validity of this equation has been tested with data from numerical calculating. And its deviation from the values calculated by Simpson's numerical integrating was discussed. Compared with several published approximate formulae, this new one is much superior to all other approximations and is the most suitable solution for the evaluation of kinetic parameters from TG experiments. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On the mathematical formulation and interpretation of LACO MO theory

The mathematical basis of LCAO MO theory is studied, both within the Hartree-Fock approximation and in more exact formulations. The basic LCAO expansion for molecular orbitals ¦> in terms of atomic orbitals ¦x> is conveniently written ¦> = ¦x> S ^–1 B where S is the overlap matrix for atomic orbitals and B is the matrix of atomic orbital-molecular orbital overlaps. It is suggested that matrices P and Q, defined by P=B B and Q=BnB where n is the matrix of molecular orbital occupation numbers, are appropriate to the interpretation of molecular calculations in terms of atomic orbital components, electronic populations and the degree of bonding. Implications for Hartree-Fock calculations are investigated.     

Transport properties of the Lorentz gas: Fourier's law

We investigate the stationary nonequilibrium (heat transporting) states of the Lorentz gas. This is a gas of classical point particles moving in a region gL containing also fixed (hard sphere) scatterers of radiusR. The stationary state considered is obtained by imposing stochastic boundary conditions at the top and bottom of , i.e., a particle hitting one of these walls comes off with a velocity distribution corresponding to temperaturesT ₁ andT ₂ respectively,T ₁ <T ₂. Letting be the average density of the randomly distributed scatterers we show that in the Boltzmann-Grad limit,,R 0 with the mean free path fixed, the stationary distribution of the Lorentz gas converges in theL ¹-norm to the stationary distribution of the corresponding linear Boltzmann equation with the same boundary conditions. In particular, the steady state heat flow in the Lorentz gas converges to that of the linear Boltzmann equation, which is known to behave as (T ₂-T ₁)/L for largeL, whereL is the distance from the bottom to the top wall: i.e., Fourier's law of heat conduction is valid in the limit. The heat flow converges even in probability. Generalizations of our result for scatterers with a smooth potential as well as the related diffusion problem are discussed.Research supported in part by NSF Grant no.

Effects of Strong Ion‐Pairing on the Electrochemical Reduction of Cyclooctatetraene in Tetrahydrofuran in the Presence of Lithium Ion. Peak Coalescence Does Not Imply Potential Inversion

The first study of the voltammetric reduction of cyclooctatetraene (COT) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the presence of lithium ion is reported. A single wave is observed at ?2.23 V vs. Ag/0.1 M AgNO₃. Density functional calculations have been carried out on a variety of COT/Li/THF species in order to clarify the nature and role of ion pairing in this system. The dominant species in solution are the COT/Li/(THF)₂ anion radical and the COT/Li₂/(THF)₄ dianion. Computer simulations have been carried out to further understand the effects of ion pairing on the reduction. The simulations show that coalescence of two waves into one can occur in the presence of strong ion pairing even when the second reduction potential is negative of the first.     

The stochastic Boltzmann equation and hydrodynamic fluctuations

Based on the assumption of a kinetic equation in space, a stochastic differential equation of the one-particle distribution is derived without the use of the linear approximation. It is just the Boltzmann equation with a Langevin-fluctuating force term. The result is the general form of the linearized Boltzmann equation with fluctuations found by Bixon and Zwanzig and by Fox and Uhlenbeck. It reduces to the general Landau-Lifshitz equations of fluid dynamics in the presence of fluctuations in a similar hydrodynamic approximation to that used by Chapman and Enskog with respect to the Boltzmann equation.This work received financial support from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.     

Field-theoretic approach to second-order phase transitions in two- and three-dimensional systems

We review the physical principles which are at the basis of recent field-theoretic computations of the critical exponents in two- and three-dimensional systems. We concentrate on those points that do not show up explicitly in the more standard-expansion: they must be discussed with care if one uses a perturbative approach at fixed space dimensions (the loop expansion). We present in detail simple computations of the critical exponents, while we summarize the results of longer and more accurate computations.     

Some model theory for monotone quantifiers

A generalization of the existential and universal quantifier, the monotone quantifiers, are studied. It is shown that the model theory for monotone quantifiers behaves very much like classical model theory. Completeness theorems, definability theorems and preservation theorems are given. Ultraproducts, reduced products and Back and Forth arguments are studied.This work is part of the research program of the G.N.S.A.G. group of the Italian C.N.R.     

The Mathematical Theory of Ito Diffusions on Hypersurfaces, with Applications to NMR Relaxation Problems

A mathematical framework for translational Brownian motion on hypersurfaces is presented, using an imbedding of the surface and Ito diffusions in the ambient space. This includes a survey of Ito calculus and differential geometry. Computational methods for time correlation functions relevant to spin relaxation studies on curved interfaces are given, and explicit calculations of time correlation functions and order parameters for a Rippled surface are presented.     

Direct calculation of ionization potentials of closed-shell atoms and molecules

Vertical ionization potentials, electron affinities and information about quasi-particles can be obtained by using the technique of the single-particle propagator. The expansion of the self-energy part up to third order perturbation theory can be evaluated numerically, but does not lead, in most cases, to satisfying results. A theoretical and numerical analysis of the diagrammatic expansion of the self-energy part requires the introduction of a renormalized interaction and renormalized hole and particle lines.
